🧟 Better late than never! 38 years ago yesterday, @alicecooper unleashed "Constrictor"! Gary's Cooper jumping-on point - Marvin had it on cassette, they rented Night of the Living Dead for a sleepover. Perfect combo!

🎂 Happy 64th Birthday @davemustaine! Ray's Dave impression singing Happy Birthday somehow became Tim's Edith Bunker voice! From thrash to "Oh Archie!" 😂

🎸 Vola at @motorcomh Durham was incredible! Technical prog metal that looked effortless - Light show reminiscent of Pink Floyd. @daedricofficial opened with Elder Scrolls-inspired metal and killer vocal range.
