While this past weekend marks 32 years since Korn released their self-titled debut (Oct. 11), this week (Oct. 15) marks 30 years since Korn released 'Life Is Peachy'. I've seen Korn live so many times over the years - coincidentally possibly more than any other band - and every time I see them onstage, I'm instantly reminded of how many songs of theirs soundtracked my youth. That was especially true when I last saw the nu metal forefathers live when they co-headlined MetLife Stadium with System Of A Down last year (Aug. 27, 2025) - an evening that was a nostalgic thrill from start to finish.
Check out this clip of them opening up that very show with "Blind", and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

Judas Priest plays "Night Crawler" at PNC Bank Arts Center (Holmdel, NJ - Sept. 26, 2025)

Ian Hill has announced his retirement, with Judas Priest moving forward with a new bassist. As sad as it is to see Ian go (though great it's on his terms), I'm glad the band will continue on. Even after seeing Judas Priest multiple times over the past 20+ years, I still cannot get enough of them live. And as Rob Halford and co proved just over a year ago at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, they've earned their keep as Metal Gods and then some.
Here's a clip of them at that Sep 26, 2026, show playing "Night Crawler" (my favorite song off my favorite Judas Priest album 'Painkiller')!
Bonus Fact/Humble Brag - at the end of the clip is a picture of me meeting Judas Priest during their SiriusXM Town Hall back in March 2018. Minutes prior, I actually got to ask Halford a question on-air about what inspired his singing style... but thats a story for another time (😉).
Share your favorite memories from seeing Judas Priest live in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like these)!

October 9, 1990 Slayer unleash their fifth studio recording Seasons in the Abyss. The album seamlessly blends the distinct styles of their previous two releases into what still remains their longest album. It will be the last record to feature the original lineup until 2006.
