PiercingMetal Thoughts: Okay so I have not yet gotten around to hearing anything on “Pounding The Pavement” but several friends have said that its a good one so I am looking forward to getting the chance to indulge in it. Anvil in concert is always a fun experience and that makes me mark down the regional show on my schedule and you should be doing this too for good measure. It’s a solid stuff with a lot of stories and jokes about this aspect of life from Lips and if you love thundering drumming, there is probably no one better to see playing Metal live than Robb Reiner. For good measure, I’ve even included the bands European dates so those of you on the other side of the ocean don’t feel left out in our posts. Now its onto more postings as I try to catch up. What do you readers think about this one? You can let me know down in the comments section below. See you soon.
