Jesus this thread has turned into a beating. "Quinn's a pussy, Quinn's brittle, Quinn lost the Heisman, Quinn probably screwed up his abs partying too hard last week, Arch should be QB1...."
Here the facts:
1. Quinn is a fucking badass.
2. See #1.
Well I am not sure if I've ever had more fun at a show than I did at the Cheap Trick / Journey / Def Leppard show last night. Wife and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm a Cheap Trick apologist but their set was utterly fantastic (He's a Whore is just such a great hidden gem), and I was able to mingle and sing with the other diehard CT fans there. The Journey and DL sets were great and everyone was partying and singing like no tomorrow. We were surrounded by super cool people and everyone was just having the time of their lives. The weather in Denver was 100% perfection and we just danced and partied for 5 straight hours.

IGAF I am excited as hell to see Cheap Trick, Journey and Def Leppard tomorrow night in Denver. Wife will be drunk and all of those schmaltzy Journey songs and sleazy Def Leppard songs are gonna pay off after the show.
Earliest I saw Metallica was 1988 for the Monsters of Rock tour. I was right up front in Rice Stadium, getting blasted with the firehose since it was pretty much as hot as the surface of the sun when Metallica was playing. IIRC Metallica was fourth on the bill of five bands, going on right before Dokken if you can believe it. Scorps and Van Hagar cleaned up that night, which was critical since there was a massive stadium-wide trash fight right after the Houston afternoon rain shower that made that place a stinking rain-soaked trash heap.
Seeing them open for Ozzy (or Raven FFS) is pretty damn legit. Kudos.
