I'd probably go with the basketball regional final loss to Indiana in 1987. It would have been quite something to see LSU at the Final Four in the Dome, and they were playing great basketball all through the tournament (until the last 5 minutes of that game)....
Had a Nissan that somehow got a nail deliberately drilled into the A/C line, and it got repaired, but never worked correctly after that...think I went 4 summers without a/c, just insane, looking back at it. The same car also had a bizarre starter that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't - so du...
Probably a show at The Varsity in the fall of 1991 with Corrosion Of Conformity/Prong/Bullet Lavolta. Prong were playing a great set, and about halfway through, a guy near the front turned around and stood with his back to the band for the rest of the set. There was an exchange of some kind betwe...

If you have the choice, I'd recommend flying to Kansas City and renting a car there. The one time I went in 2003, it was something like an 18 hour drive each way, and trust me, you're gonna be really thrashed when you finish the trip. It's not like you're gonna be missing out on a stunningly...

[quote]It is very true that Metallica wanted AIC to open the Black Album tour but couldn’t because they already agreed to open for VH. I saw the interview with Lars explaining this on MTV right when the tour started. I have no doubt they wanted Skid Row as well but he never mentioned them in that in...
[quote]The Breadfan opener was great & unexpected(we didn't have the internet then to tell us prior setlists) [/quote] But we did have other human beings who went to those shows and told others about it via other forms of communication. There was a very active tape trading circuit that exist...

[quote]Metallica wanted AIC to open for them on the Black Album tour but by the time they formally asked them AIC had already committed to opening up the Van Halen tour. There was nobody out there they wanted so they just didn't have any opener in America on the Black Album tour. I went to the Shrev...

[quote]Biggest difference nowadays is the warranty. Atlas will cover everything if their warranty is needed.

[quote]Good luck getting a reputable licensed contractor out in a timely manner that's willing to hand nail.
