If I had to vote for Most Epic Guitar Shredder of the Year, my vote would go to Marissa Paternoster for both of her projects that I saw this year (solo as Noun at the Ottobar upstairs, and as the frontperson for Screaming Females later in the year at the Ottobar downstairs).
noun

High on Fire, C.O.C. & Eyehategod at Ottobar (They made a book about this show)
I was at that show. They wrote a book about it?????
-
I am going to assume you don't watch the video. But if you did, you would see her doing her thing, rocking out on vocals and guitar.
That solo starting at 1:11... She shreds.
Crowd surfing at 2:16...
The ending... damn

I am filing a challenge to your alleged trademark of earlier today, with the USPTO.. I think its clear that you lost the rights to the trademark after you freaked out and cancelled your account..... coming back with a different name was an implicit admission that you no longer had the rights to said trademark.
I have a very good friend who works with the USPTO regularly (former Patent Examiner) and another who is currrently at the USPTO so I would suggest you cease use of the name immediately.
-
I was killsaly way before I posted on here, pal. ::)
-
You can find the killsaly origin story on this board, if you search for it.
-
And I never "freaked out".
Jeez. All of that, ie cancelling accounts, coming back as a different account, etc, was all me having a bit of a laugh.

I am now broke (so much Merch!!!), and really need to win the 930Club raffle.....
-
I averaged about one show a week this year, definitely not a record year for me (though some weeks it was three shows, and sometimes it was two weeks between shows).
I still have a two day music festival and two shows left this year.
I am usually insane with the merch, but this year I decided to really slow down (I have over 200 concert t shirts, tons of posters, other random shit) though I did pick up a few things.
-
Screw it... Every show and festival that I went to and every band that I saw at each up to 12/17. It definitely was a light year for me.

Glad to see this so high on your list. I remember Azaghal raving about that show too. Saw her/them the next night in Richmond; I went in only knowing one song and was completely blown away by the set.

No, but I should. I just went back over my Google calendar. I mark all of my maybes on it, and if I do not go to a show, I delete it from the calendar.
I have been tempted to go back to my ticket stubs and posters and t shirts to try to figure out what else I saw in previous, non-tracked, years.
-
I have a written record of every show, the date, venue, who I went with, if I have them handy setlists, etc. It really helps to go through it periodically because I'm realizing I'm completely starting to forget some stuff.

I don't have setlists or who attended with me, but I have pieced the rest of that together for myself in Excel. Wishing I'd done Access from the beginning.

A website for a personalized listing of what shows I've seen and who the openers were? Is GuestOfAGuest following me around again? I sent them a cease and desist.
Someone get my lawyer on the phone.

List was chronological....although some may be a little out of order...
I was so tired at the Waxahatchee show that I was falling asleep standing up, and i think the first few songs she played were slow/quiet. I remember it getting more interesting as it went on though...

Oh. :D

I just keep a note in my "Notes" app on the iPhone of the show number, band(s), and venue.
-
I simply record the shows. ;D
