Participantfredo4: Having kids myself, no, I haven’t been to any shows recently (unfortunately).
I have to admit my tastes as of late have been veering into “heavier” metal, such as All Shall Perish, Crowbar and Meshuggah. I’ve continued to listen to the Misfits, but I haven’t heard anything interesting from that front in a while. Some of the more offbeat Industrial stuff is good (like Front 242 and Skinny Puppy), but Ministry seems to have put it into the ditch as of late.
The latest NIN is good, and the latest Metallica is passable, but you have to stray pretty far out of the lines to hear anything original anymore. You mention commercialization and I think the music industry has pretty well killed originality or at least “American Idol-ized” it (meaning, they’ve reduced it to insipid, easily packaged pap like Carrie Underwood).
Sorry. Didn’t mean to get off on a rant there. And, yeah, I’ve seen Black Flag in concert. Saw them up in San Francisco. Great show – the part of it I can remember. =)

ParticipantButler: I’ve always liked Rollins. I think he went into acting after, not before, music. I could be wrong. I remember seeing him in “Heat” in the mid 1990s, but I was listening to him long before then. He’s kind of an iconclastic cat, so I don’t know if I would judge him on being an actor and therefore insincere as a musician.

I would also say, based on your numerous posts regarding RE that you’re anything BUT a cheerleader for the RE industry. I think you and sdrealtor are both fair minded and ethical professionals. I also know that RE is not your primary line of work and I have never seen anything from you that I would categorize as an unfair attempt to gin up the market or blue sky the facts.
