Heavy Metal Parking Lot

At the recently imploded Cap Centre no less…
god that is the best<BR>remember when that crappy band american hi-fi tried to recreate HMPL with that single about some chick and her gross boyfriend?
God, that was sad, in a hysterical way. Reminds me of why I never hung out at Hammerjacks.
So I take it you never saw Kix play at Hammers, Jag <p>[This message has been edited by thirsty moore (edited 01-09-2003).]

Did see the Psychedelic Furs there once and some other dumbass band that my boyfriend at the time got us free admission for. <P>It was pretty funny. An old Punk friend of mine that I ran into and I were laughing at all the Heavy Metal heads pretending they were Punk about 10 years after they all made fun of us for doing the very same thing.<P>
A friend of mine's older sister grew up in the early 80's and used to blast Kix and Brian Jack in the car.

Didn't Kixx have two x's in the name? Hammerjacks did have some great shows, butthole surfers, My Bloody Valentine, and the Ramones. That and one lady bouncer (they were bouncers there), who would pick up the men with one arm to escort them out.
Nope just one X in Kix.
I thought that there were 2 Xs also…but have never been into that kind of music so I could very easily be wrong.
There's only one X in Kix, but there are two in Jaxx, where you can see Steve Whiteman and Ronnie "10/10" Younkins kick out some old Kix tunes on Saturday January 25. Don't forget the Aqua-Net.<P><A HREF="http://www.jaxxroxx.com" TARGET=_blank>Jaxx Roxx</A>
Or the "Axl" hightops…<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ggw:<BR><B>There's only one X in Kix, but there are two in Jaxx, where you can see Steve Whiteman and Ronnie "10/10" Younkins kick out some old Kix tunes on Saturday January 25.

Guilty… Hammers shows with Kix, Brian Jack (Childs Play) and Honor Among Thives (Mitch from SR-71 w/choreographed long hair and guitar moves).<P>What can I say, a little Baltimore culture helped me with some perspective in the late 80s…..

you had a comped/industry ticket?
I won it off of DC⚡101. It was easy, back in the day. Probably saw 50+ shows for free that way.

"industry".  you can tell by the zero price.

i won a mexican stratocaster and tickets to see Aerosmith via a radio drawing when i was ~16.  that strat was my first "real" ('ish) guitar after a string of cheap chinese LP knock-offs.  by the time the day of the show rolled around, i was so tired (either from partying the night before, or just coming back from a long camping trip - def one of those two options but can't remember which one) that i ended up scalping the tix for $60 even though they were worth a lot more.  my luck at drawings and contest has been above-average over my lifetime, but this was the only time i've ever won concert tickets that i can think of…
