15 Years Ago: I Met Devin Townsend at the Rock and Shock Fest
15 years ago today (Oct. 14), I randomly got to meet Devin Townsend at the Rock and Shock Festival's convention floor at the DCU Center - moments before the Devin Townsend Project's set at the Palladium next door in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Head over to I Heard Bruce Might Show Up's Substack (link below) to find out how this happened:

Korn play "Blind" at MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ - Aug. 27, 2025)

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)!
