Saxon - Live Waunakee, WI, November, 2000
Review by Mike Korn
Where the hell is Waunakee, Wisconsin? That must have been what the members of Saxon were asking themselves when they saw this gig on their itinerary.

Saxon - Live in St. Charles, Illinois, October 2011
Review by Greg Olma

It had been almost a decade since Saxon last graced the stages of the Chicago-land area.

Saxon - Live in Sugar Land, Texas April 2018
Review by Greg Olma

Saxon is no longer just a band but an institution promoting solid NWOBHM music.  They have been at it since 1979 and by the looks of it, they are not looking to retire anytime soon.

Saxon - Live in Houston, Texas, May 2024
Review by Greg Olma
I have been a fan of Saxon for over four decades now, and the best part of that is that they are not a nostalgia act.

Michael Schenker - Group - Live in Rosemont, Illinois August 2010
Review by Greg Olma

It’s been a quite a while since Michael Schenker and his band of metal merchants played a support slot here in the Chicago-land area but I guess filling in the “special guest” slot on the Scorpions farewell tour was too good to pass up.

Michael Schenker - Group - Live in Portland, Oregon, February, 2012
Review by Larry Toering

Michael Schenker and the boys turned up in great spirits to a sold out show that was nothing short of the most fun night to be had in a while.

Michael Schenker - Group - Live in Libertyville, Illinois, March 2012
Review by Greg Olma

Michael Schenker and UFO have always shared a special bond with Chicago and the Chicagoland area.

Scorpions - Live In Chicago, IL August 2008
Review by Greg Olma
More pics from this concert are available in our members' area.

The Scorpions made a stop in Chicago (August 10th to be exact) on their relatively short Humanity-Hour 1 U.S. tour.

Scorpions - Live in Rosemont, Illinois August 2010
Review by Greg Olma

I have to admit that I was shocked when I heard that the Scorpions were going to do a farewell tour.

Scorpions - Live in Rosemont, Illinois, September 2015
Review by Greg Olma

There is a lot of activity in the world of the Scorpions.

Sevendust - Live in Rockford, Illinois, January 2011
Review by Gary Hill
When I heard the new CD from Sevendust I felt that it was a bit too generic and overproduced.

Shadows Fall - Live at Ozzfest, Alpine Valley, WI, 2005
Review by Arnold Hablewitz
Proof that American thrash metal has been resurrected, Shadows Fall took the stage and slayed us all.

Six Feet Under - Live in Chicago, IL, June 2012
Review by Mike Heitzman
The “18 Nights of Blood Tour” was in its first week and going strong.

Slayer - Live in Chicago, August, 2007
Review by Travis Jensen
Another summer season had arrived, which meant that I would attend yet another Slayer show. Last year it was the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, this year at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont Illinois.

Slayer - Live in Milwaukee, WI, July 2006
Review by Travis Jensen
There is an old hard-core saying that goes "If you can't take a joke, then f**k you." I believe that the same could apply to anyone who doesn't like Slayer.

Slayer - Live In Milwaukee, 2004
Review by Mike Korn
It's been a while since I've been in the venerable Eagle's Ballroom in Milwaukee. The site of many a Metalfest for me, this is just about the right size of venue for a brutal show such as this.

Slayer - Live in Tinley Park, Illinois May 2018
Review by Kat Heitzman

Once the flames were lit to frame the stage you could feel the restlessness of the crowd. That first note struck, and the carnage ensued.


More
Static-X - Live in Rockford, IL, May 2007
Review by Mike Korn
The last time I saw Static-X at the Lodge, it was an experience I’d rather forget. Not in terms of the band’s performance, but more due to the fact that I locked my keys in my (running) automobile, I got stuck with an extra parking charge and it was hotter than August in the Sudan inside the club.

Stone Sour - Live in Milwaukee, WI, March, 2011
Review by Peter Lizano

As Stone Sour prepared to hit the stage for the first night of the Avalanche Tour, you could feel the energy in the venue.

Superjoint Ritual - Live at Ozzfest, 2004, Alpine Valley, WI
Review by Gary Hill
More pics from this band available in our members area.

Symphony X - Live in Chicago, 2002
Review by Arnold Hablewitz
Symphony X have just put out quite possibly the finest true metal release of the year, or maybe even the ensuing decade, and now they took to their first proper U.S. tour in support of the release. In my opinion, although Blind Guardian's set was rather awesome, Symphony X owned this night.
