They were metal before there was metal. Probably played D&D while under attack.

Loved acoustic Promised Land and the Zac Brown / Dave Grohl / Boss Fortunate Son was awesome.  Yes, a little tough on Bruce, but that song is a screamer.  Would have been perfect if it ended at 9:15.   I got a clue for that MF'ng Mathers kid - lose your MF'ng self.

Frau doesn't look old enough for a father in WWII.

Better late to the party than never

Frau's dad & shipmates, probably 1943 in the Mediterranean

Yikes.  I went to Bastogne a few years ago - you can still really feel the effects of the war around there.

That one dude looks like Darth Helmet

Headset under that helmet, he's probably jacked into the fire direction center.
