Re: I could play drums for Dokken
I could play guitar or bass for 95% of bands. Sing for 40%, do harmony vocals for 100%. Play pedal steel or keyboards for 25%.

Re: What revelations are you still waiting for?
I do think, except for some outliers like Priest (the one with Half, not the one with Merc), all bands are only good on their first 5 albums. Then they go to ok, and then they go to bad. I dont think Maiden had outside help, but they just couldnt write for shite once they turned 30. There are other...

Re: Do you like Sammy solo?
I like his early solo output. It got a bit too cringey for me around VOA, but Standing Hampton is a classic of that hard-rock-but-not-quite-metal era.
First show I ever saw was Sammy on SH with Aldo Nova opening. It was great.

Re: What is your "I'm calling it now" prediction?
The entertainment industry is going to get fucked by AI. Musicians are going to almost instantly lose a shitload of revenue streams like session work or composing for film. Visual artists can pretty much just fuck off and go buy tents in prep for their impending homelessness. ...and the film industr...

Meh. The Ai is here. Just tell it to whip up some new GnR for you then pop over to make an album cover. It'll be better than anything GNR is capable of.

Re: Would you still like Priest if Half wasn't a LGBT?
Well, maybe it's a cultural thing, but over here in the 70s/80s the leather-clad gay guy in the Brando cap and chaps (with optional extra handlebar moustache) was a well-established comedy trope. Hell, you all got the Police Academy gag with the Blue Oyster Bar, right? And none of the actual bikers...

Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.
He's a good seventies style player. Should be in the conversation with Joe Perry, Randy Bachman etc. Randy Bachman can play rings around either one of those fumble-fingered hacks Blue Collar https://youtu.be/lvV0d0SddJ8?si=VSTJynvcZg2CQH4c Lookin' Out For Number One https://youtu.be/N4_0Pt3HAR8?si=...

Not when I was a kid, no...but I used to do some colorization work for the Tom of Finland Foundation in the nineties, so I am VERY familiar with the stuff.

I had it make a Rammstein song about pooping on tombstones the other day.
It gave me two. They were too good.

Re: Would you still like Priest if Half wasn't a LGBT?
Not saying it couldnt have been Half, but Half in his book was always the love-sick little school girl, pining away after aloof men's men. He might have been the Metal God™ on stage, but he seemed like the girly one in the relationship. The songs on Rob Halford's Autobiographical rock opera masterp...
