Heavy Metal Sunday is feeling the Burn!

The Man Burned last night, meaing it's time for the second half of our special Banging Man Festival.

While searching around for good videos, I was amused to find that Queensrÿche had actually written a song about the event! The lyrics are pretty short, so here they are:

Miles of desert fly, the quiet of dawn.
I ride the winds of morning to see the man that’s burning.

Burning man

Miles of desert fly, the quiet of dawn.
I ride the winds of morning to see the man that’s burning.

In my head I hear the song a million voices strong.
I feel the heart of conscious returning, that’s why the man is burning.

Burning man




But Burning Man is more than the Man getting torched. Black Rock City is, for one week, the fourth largest city in Nevada, and it is a city on fire.. with rock and roll.



Tonight? Testament, Motörhead, Heaven & Hell, and JUDAS PRIEST!!!
