1992-1993 Concert Ticket Stubs & Thrust Music Magazine – Tampa Bay Area Live Music Scene

August 14, 2025

If 1989 was the beginning of the end of the greatest three decades of rock music, 1992-1993 was pretty much the dead end of the long-winding oh-so-fun yet crazy and bumpy road. It was also the end of the great run that was Thrust Music Magazine, as we only published three issues in 1992 and … More 1992-1993 Concert Ticket Stubs & Thrust Music Magazine – Tampa Bay Area Live Music Scene

1991 Concert Ticket Stubs & Thrust Music Magazine – Tampa Bay Area Live Music Scene

February 23, 2025

1991 was another great albeit changing year in the Tampa Bay area rock and metal scene. Looking back, it seemed like the party was starting to wind down, at least for some of us.

1990 Concert Ticket Stubs & Thrust Music Magazine – Tampa Bay Area Live Music Scene

May 4, 2024

Photo: Collage of stuff you will find in the post below. So 1990. The year that officially ended the Decade of Decadence. But it was only the beginning of the end of rock music’s glam or ‘hair band’ era (uncomfortable terminology to some but I won’t go there now). Good time rock-n-roll debauchery was still … More 1990 Concert Ticket Stubs & Thrust Music Magazine – Tampa Bay Area Live Music Scene

The Chronicles of a Van Halen and Sammy Hagar Fan – 1979 to 2017

July 30, 2017

This post started out as a review of the Van Halen show in Tampa back in September of 2015. But it turned out I had thirty-something years of Van Halen, and by association Sammy Hagar, commentary that I had to get out. Realistically, how could any self-respecting rock music fan not have quite a bit … More The Chronicles of a Van Halen and Sammy Hagar Fan – 1979 to 2017
