That is cool.

The Ultimatum set lists are gone.

I used to have an Ace Frehley set list that I stole off of his monitor at the end of one of his solo gigs -- don't have any idea where the heck it is now though.

I have a drum stick from Joe Hasselvander of Raven too. You should've heard me when my wife asked if she should throw it away when we were house cleaning a while back. I told her it was "Don't you DARE, that stick was used IN CONCERT by JOE HASSELVANDER OF RAVEN" and she kinda rolled her eyes at me like "Oooookay, whatever, you geek."

Haha, damn right, and PROUD of it!!

Seriously, "MetalGeek" is my screen name on the IMDB (Internet Movie Database).

I have a Petra concert flyer from their "on fire" tour when they stopped in Medford OR around 84/85. The only reason I have it is because my dad was at the show.

Speaking of flyers,I still have a Firehouse flyer when the band were called White Heat.

I was at an Alice Cooper show and he threw his cane out into the crowd because he dropped it. I would have loved to get a hold of that thing!

Some MORTIFICATION flyers that are posted on Firestream.

circumcision, the man's way.

Ultimatum palyed AUSTRALIA? How come we never heard about that?

I missed that tour too. Must have been a different Ultimatum.

That was a big show for us. Morty were still very popular at the time. 400 people packed into that little place we played. We opened for Morty for the first time and it was this show that we became friends with Steve Rowe, who later signed us and got us our Diamante distribution contract. Steve watched us play and immediately after came to our table and bought a few shirts and some of our "Symphonic Extremities" demo tapes. It was a big honor for us.

Here's one I"ve been thinking about putting on Ebay.

It was my set list from the first Once Dead reunion show. I had two of them, one of which I had all the guys sign and I also still have. This one was taped to the stage in front of my monitor. Even has my wonderful footprints on it.

Interesting to note that we were originally billed as Vengeance (without the RISING). At the last minute the band name was changed to Once Dead as Roger Martinez was causing some problems for Roxx and Doug Thieme. The set lists had already been made up for the show, so the Vengeance logo remained.

Also of note, the autographed set list I have can be seen in the Once Dead - Return with a Vengeance DVD. It is used as the "track listing". Since Roxx had asked me to use it for the DVD I had to sign it as well. Felt sort of odd signing something for myself.

I got a Geezer Butler pick from the Heaven & Hell concert last year, but that's nothing compared to my sister getting Vinny Appice's drumstick. I swear he only used 2 the whole show and that thing was beat up.

The other day a friend was in Beaverton OR and saw a (Hed) p.e flyer nailed to a telophone pole and ripped it off for me.

I went to that concert last year, and got Butler's and Iommi's picks. As well as Dave Mustaine's.
