Welcome! I hope you like it here.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I agree 100%, my first live show was RUSH on their Permanent Waves tour back in '80. Geez, I can't believe it was that long ago. I still have my shirt from that tour. 
I've been collecting concert shirts ever since that first show.

I think you have some stories to tell.

This band looks familiar, who is it? I've been to a lot of black metal shows, but I'm not sure who these guys are.

I visited the US every year during the summer. (This will be stationed in Sicily with the USN.)

1976: Concert headliner: James Gang, leadoff band KISS.
1977: Concert headliner: KISS, lead off Band RUSH.

Life was good. Cool

Dude, you sound like a hoot! I'm not very active here any more but I hope you stick around. You are just what this forum needs!

We have a lot of parallels. I turn 64 in a week and I was also subject to a Catholic upbringing albeit to a much smaller degree than you were. My family and extended family were Catholic but nobody was extreme. I had the odd idea growing up that the whole religion thing was some kind of social convention that nobody actually believed in. I was around 12-13 years-old when I became aware that people actually took this shit seriously and believed it for real. It was shocking to me!

I find your musical taste kind of funny in a Wayne's World kind of way. I'm a late bloomer in that way. I started out with extremely mild musical taste. Like another member who doesn't post much here any more, I have an appreciation of the Swedish band Abba! I gradually developed a taste for hard rock as I aged. Not to the same degree as you but I love Rush. One of my all-time favorites is Alice Cooper's The Ballard of Dwight Fry.

Anyway, Welcome to the Forum!

Welcome! Not much into heavy rock or metal, but I'm a huge Rush fan (though they were more heavy progressive rock).

I have no clue. Just liked the head banging and the strange guy jumping around in the background.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
