Nightwish North American Decades tour, Philadelphia, PA, USA, March 16, 2018

4 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

It is no small feat for a band to sustain a successful career that spans over two decades. It is rarer still for a band to remain relevant after that period of time by continuing to produce quality music without becoming a nostalgia act. As a band, Nightwish has accomplished all of that and more….

Arch Enemy and Trivium, Baltimore Soundstage, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, October 31, 2017

4 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

How did you spend your Halloween this year? I decided to dodge the trick or treaters and head to the Baltimore Soundstage for an awesome coheadlining metal show with Trivium and Arch Enemy! With Fit for an Autopsy and While She Sleeps also playing in support, it was looking to be an awesome night. The show was…

The Pretty Reckless, Rams Head Live! Baltimore, Maryland, USA, November 18, 2016

5 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

I’ve always loved The Pretty Reckless… all the way back to their early days with their first album, “Light Me Up”. The band faced a lot of criticism back in those days, as so many people wouldn’t take them seriously because the lead singer Taylor Momsen was coming from a successful acting career. And I…

Edge of Paradise, The Music Lady, Moosup, Connecticut, August 26, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

I first “discovered” The Edge of Paradise about a year and a half ago, shortly before the release of their second album: “The Immortal Waltz”. The band plays a unique style of melodic hard rock/metal with soaring vocals and amazing guitars. First formed in 2011, Edge of Paradise hails from the Los Angeles, California area…

Flight of the Valkyries 8, The Metro Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, July 30, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

It was time again for Flight of the Valkyries, and I was excited! This recurring event is a premier metal festival featuring local, regional, and national touring, up and coming, and established metal bands fronted by female vocalists that has been rocking the USA since 2007. I have been to FoTV 5-7 and every festival…

Guns N’ Roses, Fex Ex Field, Landover, Maryland, USA, June 26, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

25 years ago. One quarter of a century. That was the first and last time I saw Guns N’ Roses live. It was a golden era for the band. The original lineup was mostly intact… the only exception being original drummer Steven Adler had already departed and had been replaced by Matt Sorum. Dizzy Reed…

Apocalyptica, Rams Head Live, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, May 19, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

The first and last time I saw Apocalyptica was last spring at the start of their Shadowmaker tour as one of the support acts for Sixx: A. M. I remember being blown away by their unique brand of metal (played with three cellos, drums, and no guitars) and I couldn’t wait until they came back…

Sonata Arctica and Delain, Baltimore Soundstage, Baltimore, MD, USA, March 26, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

For those of you that read my review of Nightwish’s recent North American Tour, you know that I was really impressed with the show. This was due not only to Nightwish’s performance itself, but also due to the high quality of the shows provided by the support bands on the tour: Sonata Arctica and Delain;…

Carrie Underwood, Storyteller Tour, Verizon Center, Washington DC, USA, February 25, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

I’ve been a fan of Carrie Underwood since she first graced the stages of American Idol eleven years ago. I was never a big fan of American Idol, itself… in fact, Carrie’s season was the only season I ever watched. But I was dazzled by her beautiful voice and great stage presence back then, when…

70000 Tons of Metal Diary, Day 4, February 7, 2016

6 years ago Joe Prostredny Live Reports

For the last day of the cruise I decided to continue with my theme of sleep deprivation and woke up before 6:30 am when I had every intention of sleeping until 8 or 9 am. There is just no other way to put it, I was having the time of my life and was too…
