Right on, bud. I remember many evenings of Head Banger's Ball, and they were always one of the featured bands. Shit, singed up for Columbia House, and got their first album. I miss the simpler times...
On the lesser known side, I saw these bands multiple times in Deep Ellum in the early 90's.
The Rev Horton Heat was always good and Course of Empire was one of the best shows I have ever been to. They ran with 2 drum sets and in a smaller arena it was amazing.
