Great thread here. My problem with TGP (based on the 2 or 3 times I’ve tried to navigate there) is that the sub-forum topics are SO granular / specialized that its hard for me to find what I’m looking for.
Now I just got brag on a friend of mine. I live in Kansas City and the tribute band KC/DC is based here. They are one of the absolute best, big production AC/DC Tribute bands I have ever seen.
The guitarist who is ‘Angus’ in this band was a late 80’s G.I.T. Grad who hit the scene right when metal went down the crapper and grunge took over. (I was only a couple of years behind him - bad timing).
He had to do something to pay the bills and he couldn’t help it that he was intellectually brilliant. So off to Medical School he went. He has a massively successful radiology practice, raised a beautiful family, and throws down Angus on the weekends!!
Me? I did Law School - I probably clear in a year what my buddy brings home in a month (!!) and I’m lucky to find a few guys to hit an open mic nite on a Wednesday when the local waterin hole is half empty
Here’s PDC today and PDC in 1994 - refusing to believe that the metal scene had died!!!!
