The boys are 60s, but played their opener off the stage (opener was Ghost). The guys put people half their age to shame (see below)
Yes and it was all worth it lol. We made it to about 3 people from the front (all pit, standing room only). I don’t think Bruce or Janick stopping running across the stage for any part of the 2+ hours. Janick literally threw his guitar 3 stories upstairs during the finale of “Number of the Beast” (I have it on video but no stills).
Ok, back on topic now–sorry for the details fellas!! I am still amped with adrenaline the day after lol.
In an attempt to not let this post be completely void of contribution to the topic re: job market, I have to say that grade inflation–and by extension then, degree inflation–is probably one of the biggest driving factors I see in the dysfunction. Companies have adjusted to the inflation by requiring degrees where none were needed before, and higher degrees where basic degrees were fine.
Even in academia, divorced as it is from the market, you see this: not only do you need a PhD, but you need a post doctoral position (essentially a really high level internship/low paying grunt work job). Now not only do you need a post doc, but 2 or even 3 (3-6 years) is often required to get a lead investigator position with tenure track. There has been created by this mess a semi-permanent “limbo” position of “permanent post-doc”. Drastically underpaid and essentially non-academic but also non-industrial.
