I cut grass there , picked up 100s of ticket stubs. but did give them all away after friends just gave to strangers didn't try make dime , but whoever lost there bag , sorry I smoked that while I cut the grass, and The Rocky Fork Company said thanks ! they cashed in well on that , worked my butt off but it was fun either way
I was there it was fucking crazy I kept my ticket stub and Ozzy came back with Sabbath and fucking blew roof off the dump I've never seen such a bad ass display of jamming I couldn't talk for three days
I collect signed vinyl as well. My band signed VH OU812 is my crown jewel. My collection is mostly hair metal, but also other 80's stuff and some 90's early 2000's.
Wow...memories. I don't remember this episode, but i'm sure i listened to it. 1984 was the year this program introduced me to Metallica (they played Ride and Bells), and Yngwie (Far Beyond the Sun and As Above, So Below off of the Rising Force album). I was balls deep into metal and this show was friggin awesome.
Yep, here in Chicago we had WVVX at night that played hard rock and metal and that always been it! Outside of College radio having metal shows. I hosted a metal show at a college station myself in fact and we played it all, classic metal to mainstream metal and glam and thrash and our favorites were black and death metal. Thank goodness for the internet. Outside of WVVX the so-called rock stations here in Chicago have been wimpy as hell!
I was at Ozzfest, too. It was 3 days after my 17th birthday. Like you, my friends and I got out of there real quick when shit started getting real. Didn't get a piece of the fence, though. We just went straight home to Zanesville. Parents were freaking out when we got home as we didn't have enough change to pay the long distance from C-bus to Z-ville. And it's about an hour drive. It's definitely a good story to break out when I meet a fellow rocker.
The big guy with the piece of fence was a guy name of big Ed Bowers, from Zanesville Ohio. He started on the fence first jumping up and grabbing and tearing it down! Fucking unreal that you met the man! He unfortunately passed away a few months ago in 2023. 100% true!
Dude, thank you for sharing this huge detail! Ed actually commented! I tried to connect with him, to make an epic video of the two pieces being put back together, but I didn't hear back after reaching out to him multiple times. Now I know why. RIP Big Ed Bowers.
@@CoreysChannel thanks for the reply, Ed was a good friend of mine and my brother, we all grew up together. Metal brings people closer! Long live Big Ed! WOOO!
I have just found two of these recordings. Dated from 1959. The appear to be from a letter home from a daughter who emerged from ireland to the US. Can’t wait to listen to it . Great little time capsule
He knows his history about our city. 100% true when he says amethyst Street is kind of a ghost town. The record shop is really the only thing there. But it's a beautiful area regardless I live close by
we moved to 2500 Summit, with a much larger space and plenty of free parking in our rear lot as well as more free street parking in front and around the neighborhood!! cheers!!
YES! Metalshop was the best radio show ever! I used to wake up at midnight wednesday night and record episodes for years. I have many I've converted from my cassettes and many I've treaded from mint vinyl rips.
Walked into NCR a couple months ago. Walk up those steps a couple times a week meow. Wonderful folks & they always have a record you gotta take back home with ya.
U brought back alot of memories for me with that story. I was there as well but u forgot one part and one of my favorite parts. When the crowd kinda split in two groups (before everything got crazy) and started throwing sod (chunks of dirt and grass) back and forth at each other. Great times man. \m/ rock on and thanks for the story.
@@CoreysChannel I would appreciate that. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's frustrating when I can't understand a thing. We have the technology now to turn it on. So, there is no need to ignore us who need it. Thank you.
