I was present for a couple of these attempts... In one, Paul was after the Poison guys because he wanted to produce their second album. They wanted to look pro for the meeting (at the Rainbow) so they rented a van and I drove them up lol. That's also why he popped up at the Texxas Jam with them. Th...

I'm pretty sure it was this:

He played in a private poker game that I sometimes play in. I didn't play with him, but the word is that he was a truly nice guy and (obviously) a great poker player. I respected his stance on not taking points from bands and he did some amazing work with the Pixies and others. I only played with S...

Yeah, it's odd.

If there's someone who needs every visual trick possible to not look like a huge dork on stage, it's him.

Met him once when I was 14. I was like some Beavis dirtball, asking him "So what's, like, shellac?" I was probably wearing a Pavement shirt 8 sizes too big. And he was the nicest guy in the world. I read all about how he was this massive prick so I was a little hesitant but he could not h...

jfc how the fuck did i not know that Bad English was half of Journey

Yo, everyone needs to open up the recording of that live stream and check out Stevie's high note at the beginning of Highway Star around the 7 minute mark. That was no joke.

Is it just me

I mean, the first YouTube comment says "This album gets better and better the more you listen to it", so I guess not?

This sounds like Trixter if Trixter was somehow.... worse?

Really? Why should Kerry King perform Slayer songs live? REALLY?

Wait what

From their first club show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe9F2fVZQDY Band is tight, Mark crushes the high notes. In case anyone's curious, they obviously played a bunch of new material, but the Slayer songs they played were: Black Magic, Repentless, Hate Worldwide, Chemical Warfare, Disciple, and...

he was ethical, funny, kind and incredibly smart. I played poker with Steve quite a bit, and this is absolutely true. His public persona could give off a vibe of one of those "eclectic weirdos who's probably an asshole in person" but it couldn't be further from the truth IME. Always had t...

Desmond Child? This is the answer to who had the most success after working with KISS first. I mean, you could argue that VH takes the cake, but Desmond Child does have writing credits on BOYS NITE OUT, so hey. Also, not that it's much related, but Bryan Adams' career went absolutely nuclear shortl...

Paul turning down the opportunity to produce ”Appetite For Destruction” might have saved Guns ’N’ Roses! I don't think Paul turned it down, IIRC he was rejected by the band when he wanted to make a bunch of changes to the songs and their sound. He claimed in his autobiography that he suggested chan...

I was thinking more in terms of Paul and Gene trying to produce/groom bands etc, but the Desmond Child thing is something.

Surprised nobody's said Vinnie Vincent in that vein, haha.

lmaooooo

Decent interview

At 43 minutes or so, he says the S/T is their best album, and a little earlier he says Misunderstood is his favorite MC song.

I wonder what he thinks of Andy Warhol Was Right.

Most people think they're a lot healthier than they are.

You could probably drop the average number on here about 2.5 and probably be in the ballpark.

The Black N' Blue thread got me thinking. In the history of rock/metal in the late 70s through the mid 80s or so, it's clear that both Gene and Paul spent significant effort (esp. Gene) trying to parlay their careers into production/band development/etc. roles. There are countless stories of this or...

They lacked in the song department and image department. And, they were DAMN lucky to have been able to release four major label albums. Their "luck" in that regard was mostly a factor of being one of the bands that got in very early in the curve, they were in L.A. and got signed as far b...

Not really. Anybody who eats McD's every day for a fucking month is going to get fat as a fucking pig and probably drop dead from a heart attack at age 30. Common sense. Yeah, except that's not actually true. "Common sense" is why people took this movie at face value even though it was a ...

I mean, if you're wearing pants and they don't even get down to your knee, they're probably not the right size.

It was fucking great I was cracking up the whole show That one chick who joked about crypto currency and Gronkowski had me rolling. He got roasted almost as bad as Brady. Everyone even Bill was giving it to him. Gronk's entire career is "hurr durr im a dumb jock hurr durr buy this product!!!&q...

I like how Aerosmith is listed with the caveat (80's era) but Kiss is just on top with no qualifier.

Not to be that guy, but anyone with half a brain knew his movie was horseshit when it came out.

There's just something strange about Motley Crue having the most virgin-looking guitar player possible.

Why did I open that link, and 5 seconds later thought they're going to start talking about Rikki Racthman's tenure in Virgin?
