Overseas, in Japan, Brazil & Europe there are some great bands who are relighting the flame and I'm happy to say I am more optimistic about music than I have been since the days when rap & grunge destroyed the American musical landscape.

@@MVProfits indeed, although I relive my moments in a mosh pit from the 80,s quite easily without a phone. Back then you only got to see your heroes every two years when they toured or you read about them in magazines or you bought a VHS tape. So when you were at the front and Megadeth hit the stage with their opening number your feet hardly touched the floor, the excitement was real. I really must stop clicking on these videos, they just make me sad. I want to see these bands again but even though I am in my fifties I still want to thrash around in the pit and it's not my age that stops me, it's not wanting to knock some twat,s phone out of their hands. The band also remembers what an 80,s crowd was like I wonder what they think now when they look out at a bunch of zombies?
