    Thrash!! Overkill/Death Angel Concert Review

    April 29 2019 / No Comments
    • Date of Concert: April 28, 2019
    • Location of Concert: House Of Blues Cleveland in Cleveland, OH
    • Opener: Mothership
    I went to another great concert Sunday night.
     
    House Of Blues In Cleveland.
     
    Not blues, but Metal!!
     
    First band was Mothership, more of a stoner rock band, if you will, but very good. I may need to look into them more.
     
    Then I saw Death Angel. One of my favorites.
     
    Their albums of the last 15 years are to me better than their older stuff, which is saying something.
     
    They’ve gotten heavier with age.
     
    Really loud and lots of energy.
     
    I can’t wait to buy their new album Humanicide (they played that song) May 31.
     
    Overkill closed the show.
     
    Again, a favorite of mine and they just get better and better with age.
     
    They’ve been around since 1980 or 81, have made many albums, many lineup changes, but through it all, the main constants are singer
     
    Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth and bassist DD Verni.
     
    They have steered the ship forward throughout and have maintained a great work ethic and they give their fans what they want, which is uncompromising Metal!!
     
    Another great concert.
     
    Probably my last until June 1, but we’ll see.

    I Met The Midnight Express: ASW All Star Wrestling Show

    April 14 2019 / No Comments
    • Date of Event: April 13, 2019
    • Location of Event: Madison Civic Center in Madison, WV
    Pretty fun night at the ASW 13th Anniversary Show in Madison, WV.
     
    Thanks to promoter Gary Damron for the ticket.
     
    Thanks to Nicky Walters and her friends for the ride.
     
    Many younger wrestlers were in action, and they were fun to watch, but I was mainly there to meet one of my favorite tag teams and to see them getting inducted into the ASW Hall Of Fame.
     
    I’m talking about The Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton, and Stan Lane) and their manager Jim Cornette.
     
    I was able to get my picture taken with them and a signed 8×10. I was able to hold one of their tag team belts, and just was able to say thank you to them for everything they’ve done.
     
    I later told Dennis individually the same thing again and thanked him for surviving cancer. I know he appreciated it.
     
    Cornette got in on some of the wrestling action later during the match between wrestling legends Bobby Fulton and Tracy Smothers (who I also met, cool guy).
     
    You’ll see in some of the pictures what I’m talking about.
     
    It’s nice seeing younger wrestlers work but I’m all about the classics too and even though Bobby and Tracy didn’t do a lot, they actually did do a lot.
     
    Tracy went from being a good guy to a bad guy real quick.
     
    Great stuff.
     
    I could say so much more but again, I’ll just say it was a fun event, I intend to come to more of them, and just being able to shake Dennis Condrey’s hand made my month.
     
    I love all of The Midnight Express But Dennis is my guy.
