Metallica performing live at Evenmentenhal in Zwaagwesteinde, Netherlands.

June 9, 1984.

Van Haren recalling the concert:

“Our friends at the Metal magazine Loudness, who were involved in organising this event, invited us to report this show for our magazine. On the way to the venue, we realised we were driving behind a white Bedford van containing the members of Metallica. We decided to follow them. Arriving at the scene, the awaiting fans were already gathered on the street, armed with crates of beer. Cliff, Kirk and James decided to hang around and drink beer with them. Everybody was invited, so it didn't take long before we were also supplied with the holy water.

What a party, drinking with the guys from Metallica, and the concert hadn't even begun. Meanwhile, we were summoned backstage for a press briefing. And we were confronted with all kinds of instructions, rules and regulations. Who came up with this crap? I don't know. Maybe the demanding tour manager? Knowing that there is always something going on before every performance, it came as no surprise.

But one way or another, I'm always determined to make it happen. By a twist of fate, the promoter, Henk Elzinga, didn't know that Twisted Sister was bigger than Metallica at that time. Twisted Sister should have been the main act, but Elzinga had switched it around. Because of him, Metallica had their first show as the headliner.

Prior to the gig, Donald Wever had an interview with Cliff Burton sitting on a bench outside somewhere in the area. They discussed the recording process of the forthcoming Ride The Lightning album and the band's interest in finding a new vocalist/frontman. At that time, there was a rumour going around that Guy Esparanza (ex-Riot) was approached by the band to fill that position, but Cliff immediately debunked this one.

During the song Metal Militia, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister joined the band on stage to shout with them the well-known phrase: Metal Up Your Ass. Meanwhile, I ran towards the stage with my camera to capture this moment, but it jammed. Typical, something which had kept happening during the whole event. The atmosphere in this place was so incredible, it can't be described, but the band gave four encores…. this speaks for itself. If people ask me what was one of the most impressive and best gigs you ever watched, then it was definitely this one for sure. Every time I hear the name of the village Zwaagwesteinde, I still get goosebumps. A memory set for eternity.”

Van Haren also attended Metallica’s December 7th show in Amsterdam a few months later and spoke about it. If you’d like to read more of his remembrance of the band then click here :)

What pretty boys.

I rarely watched Miami Vice when it was on, but my husband was a fan. He's been watching old episodes, and I sat down last night to watch a couple with him. It blows my mind that scenes like the one I've linked ran on Network, prime-time TV in Reagan's America. I know the story dictates that they have to go to seedy joints like strip clubs to "bust the perps," but still. It's crazy. I can't imagine anything like this airing on prime-time network television today, but then again, I haven't watched network TV in about a decade. Anyway, the show is kinda dumb, but the soundtrack is a blast.

Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were certainly eye-candy, although it seems as if Don was shaving his chest then. PMT, on the other hand, was not, and frequently wears his shirt unbuttoned. Much appreciated by me.

Random eighties song I think cosmere characters would cry to

Adolin: he would cry to Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper on an emotional night after Evi died. Renarin is there with him and they’re comforting each other.

Kaladin would cry to Can’t Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon after the honor chasm. This or Another One Bites the Dust as he recollects the bridge four members who’ve died.

Wax would cry to Faithfully by Journey (yes again) after Lessie’s death(s) while Steris comforts him as best she can.

Ok so this might sound basic but Shallan would cry to Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush as she goes off on her own to save her house or after killing her parents.

Vin would cry to Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler after Kelsiers death but then it would be some kind of montage thing where she’s going to kill the lord ruler and it would be epic

After the time Dalinar and Adolin almost died, even though they were alive, Renarin cried to Boys Dont Cry by The Cure alone in his room.

Susebron and Siri would cry together to I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner after they were both safe after the Revolution at the end of Warbreaker. They would share that tender emotional music together

Navani would cry to Under Pressure by Queen as she’s trying to figure out the fabrials stuff in rhythm of war.

Kelsier would lie and say that he doesn’t cry but then cried a little after finding Marsh “dead” and also cries about Mare while he’s alone to Faithfully by Journey.

Dalinar would cry over Evi to And So It Goes by Billy Joel before seeing the nightwatcher. He keeps it under wraps because emotions? In my Vorin men? Not under my roof.

After becoming the Elantrian Zombie, Raoden would cry to Don’t You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds as he thinks about Sarene not being able to know that he’s not actually really dead and that he’s alive.

Jasnah would cry to Fade to Black by Metallica while in Shadesmar. Not because of sadness but because she’s losing hope. She’s in there for like a whole book.

(It May not be an eighties song) but Bohemian Rhapsody is a great Wayne song with his trauma and everything.

Elhokar would cry to Hurts So Good To by John Mellencamp while in Kholinar.

Vivenna would cry to Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks while she’s on the run and hiding from the mercenaries. It becomes her comfort song and is humming it in later events in the book.

While being the assassin in white Szeth would cry to Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder as all he wants is his murderous stride to be broken.

Marasi would cry to Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen as she watches Miles get shot the many many times that he does.

Also that same song could be with the Kandra purposefully ripping their spikes out to kill themselves.

Sarene’s song would be The Show Must Go On by Queen as she learns about Raodens not-death/death.

When Rlain and Venli reunite after thinking that all the other singers were dead, Radio Ga Ga by Queen is playing and they’re crying.

Kenton would cry to Free Falllin by Tom Petty on his retconned/anachronistic boombox when he realizes that all the other sand masterells are dead and he’s like the only one left

Should I do a part two?

#cosmere #brandon sanderson #stormlight archive #mistborn #stormlight archives spoilers #Mistborn spoilers #cosmere spoilers #Adolin was 13 and Renarin was 9 when Evi died #if you want to know what this is inspired by #it’s inspired by me crying to time after time #this is probably the stupidest thing I’ve posted and I once asked if you can make cheese from pigs milk #eighties music #lists

Harkening back to an era of goth we don’t really cover much on this page, which band book should I read first? We’ve got Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hooke talking about Joy Division, Cured by Lol Tolhurst talking about The Cure, and Who Killed Mister Moonlight? by David J. Haskins talking about Bauhaus

Iconic imagery from my childhood. I remember watching this on TV. It was the special for the 25th anniversary of Motown. We watched the whole show, but I only remember this performance of Billie Jean, and this dance. It was incredible.

In retrospect, looking at this today, his shirt/jacket combo wouldn't be out of place on Dorothy from The Golden Girls, at a black tie event. Just stuff some shoulder pads in there, and voila! Sparkly little clutch and a floor length black skirt, and she's good to go.

The Berlin radio station I’ve been listening to plays plenty of Falco but never his most famous hit. Avoiding playing the obvious is all well and good but there’s a reason this was his most popular song and a worldwide hit - it’s an absolute BANGER!

Obsessed with this song and had to do a version of it. The original is by Tiffany, but this is probably closer to the cover by The Birthday Massacre. Hope y’all like it!
