Add another to the 90s reunion list-korn has TWO albums coming this year
I can now update this thing from my cellphone! Hooray technology! I will be doing this much more often, and i promise to use as little shorthand as possible...

Worse things have happened

Creed are back together. I guess this was the inevitable third part of the 90s reunion trifecta, given that Limp Bizkit and Blink 182 had already announced. Now I understand Scott Stapp is less of a douche than he was way back in the day, so hopefully this will bode well as far as some decent music. Alter Bridge has shown the rest of the guys certainly have the goods, and it's good to hear that AB will still be the primary band for those guys (who woulda thunk a decade ago Creed would be a side-project!).

UPDATE--Duff McKagan show moved to Huntington!

So the day after I FINALLY found out where the Battleground Amphitheatre was, word comes that Duff McKagan's WV show will in fact be at the V-Club in Huntington! Same Gun-time, same Gun-program, but now a fair bit closer.

Ooo ooo ooo concerts!

Just spotted--April 24, Duff McKagan's Loaded is going to be in Charleston. He's booked a place called "Battlefield Amphitheatre", which to be honest I've never heard of (asked Reevis, he's not sure either)--perhaps one of you guys can help me out where exactly it is. Important thing is that DUFF MCKAGAN IS COMING TO WEST-BY-GOD :^D

BRING KISS TO HUNTINGTON

Kiss is teaming up with Eventful.com to have a fan-driven itinerary for their fall '09 tour: eventful.com/kiss

I want EVERYDAMNONE to vote Huntington. The internet is a weird place--Kingston, Ontario currently has the highest demand, so certainly Huntington deserves to be right up there.

For now, where does the Tri-State stack up? (not just Huntington, but other places we tend to go for concerts...)

#21--Columbus
#28--Cincinnati
#43--Louisville
#70--Lexington
#85--Charleston
#139--Pikeville
#151--Huntington
#335--Morgantown (WHOO WE'RE BEATING THE COUCHBURNERS)

Rumors--2009 Virgin Mobile Festival

Those who know me well know this is my favorite concert (and indeed the only festival I've been bothered to spend money on!); I just saw a blurb at Consequence of Sound about this year's potential incarnation.

Bad news: it may not take place at venerable Pimlico, which may in fact meet the wrecking ball shortly acc. to the CoS guys (being based out of DC, their sources are probably a tick better than mine)! The rumor is that if it isn't at Pimlico, it will end up just outside Baltimore, at Meriwether Post Pavillion.

Good news: METALLICA MAY HEADLINE. Or at least that's one rumor. The lineups are very eclectic, but heavy on stuff that sells a zillion copies in England.
