Here's a good read about this wild, unchained beast of a power trio.

Last night's songs:

—Peter, Paul and Mary, "I Dig Rock and Roll Music"
—Jim Carroll Band, "People Who Died"

—Kiss, "Modern Day Delilah"
—Ace Frehley, "Outer Space"
—Def Leppard, "Wasted"

—Howie Day, "Be There"
—Michael Franti feat. Cherine Anderson, "Say Hey (I Love You)"

—Killers, "Smile Like You Mean It"
—Jason Mraz, "You and I Both"

"The Other Studio" airs at 9 p.m. Sundays on 94.9 FM "The River."

Golf writer Chadd Cripe isn't in the newsroom today — and this video definitely qualifies as entertainment — so I'm going to post this incredible $1,000,000 golf shot that took place in Utah on Tuesday.

Holy. Crap. That. Is. Awesome.

I wonder if Fuddruckers in Meridian is aware that it's Gunsmoke night on Saturday? The local gang from OpenCarry.org is planning a little "bring your handgun" shindig. Yo, Festus, order me some fries! Remember when these folks went to the Boise Zoo wearing their handguns last summer? Good times.

At least it isn't at Chuck E. Cheese's.

As entertaining as it all sounds, I'll probably steer clear of Fuddruckers. It's always difficult to slide into a restaurant booth while wearing a bulky bulletproof vest. Maybe the Fuddruckers waitresses can walk around swinging nunchuks or something.

From tomorrow's column:

CONCERT STOPPED: After repeated warnings, the Knitting Factory pulled the plug at the Every Time I Die concert Sept. 13. Management says power was cut after the metalcore group talked trash onstage and incited concertgoers to violence. Animosity between club and band erupted mid-show after moshing fans were ejected for hitting and kicking other patrons, management says. A Knitting Factory security staffer was hospitalized afterward with cracked ribs.

Some afterthoughts:

The correct answer: The Big Easy.

We received dozens of incorrect answers, mostly because the Killers once had a hold date at Neurolux (but never played there) and also canceled a show at The Big Easy after they'd gotten popular. BEFORE they were very popular, the Killers played a free show at The Big Easy in 2004 sponsored by 100.3 The X.

Congratulations to Lisa, Kimberly and Jamie. You've been notified via e-mail.

I have three pairs of tickets to the Killers concert Sept. 25 at Qwest Arena.

Want a chance to win a pair?

Correctly answer this question: What was the name of the venue where the Killers performed the last time they gigged in the Treasure Valley?

It’s impossible to convey how convincing the Australian Pink Floyd Show is to anyone who hasn’t seen the group. There’s an inherent bias of tribute-band suckiness that colors their perception.

Here’s the ultimate compliment: It was easy to lose sight of the fact the Aussie Floyd was a tribute band Tuesday at Qwest Arena.

Last night's playlist:

—Nirvana, "Negative Creep" (see Kurt Cobain above in "Guitar Hero 5")
—Jay-Z, "D.O.A."

—Beatles, "Helter Skelter"

'80s rockers Def Leppard have been booked at the Idaho Center. Again.

The group will perform Saturday, Oct. 24.

Def Leppard last played Nampa's arena a couple of years ago — exactly one year, four months and 23 days ago — with Styx and REO Speedwagon. Before that, it was a double-dipper with Journey.

Def Leppard will bring Cheap Trick to open this time.

And yet, somehow, criminally underrated Ratt never, ever plays this market.

Life ain't fair.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. I'm trying to nail down prices. Including service fees, they will cost $34.50, $56.50, $87 and $107.
