A couple of other cool venues have come and gone, like:
 
Metropolis - Basically a warehouse with a bar and a stage. I saw Corrosion Of Conformity, Fight and Slayer play there.
Big Apple - A two-story bar/venue somewhere near Yarborough and Gateway East. I think. Maybe. I saw Saxon, Armored Saint, Savatage, Rouge Male and a super young Metallica..
