But a lot of these songs sound the same to me. :shock: This was the first Taylor Swift album I've ever listened to. My girl is a fan so we listened to it on a road trip. It was a real slog, for me. I was surprised how boring it was. All of the songs sounded the same. Most songs are in the same key....

That would be a C.

Not everyone uses the same grading system.

Top 3 Scorps album, easily. Not as good as Lovedrive or Blackout but there's plenty of good stuff here. Don't Stop at the Top and Rhythm of Love are great, but the only song I really don't like on SA is "We Let It Rock... You Let It Roll". That's right, I never liked Animal Magnetism, exc...

Every band is different. I was just out for 3 months with a band playing a mix of sheds/arenas/theaters. We got a flat $500 a night, just the two bands on the tour and the one I was working for is well known, direct support. The headliner didn’t use monitors but were gracious enough to carry and pa...

I preferred your cover of ozzy with your teenage band. You should post that again. That was a cool blast from the past

I kind of understand the fascination with crazy celebs, but at the same time, why bother? A decade ago, when Perez Hilton was THE PLACE for celeb gossip and tragedy, it was fun to read. Now, I don't care. The only time I see Britney mentioned is on Sludge when Stevil posts her latest crazy Instagra...

Speaking of Bon Jovi, why aren't they doing stadium type tours like Def Leppard? The last few years Def Leppard has been hitting the baseball stadiums pretty hard, I have to think Bon Jovi is on that level too. And I know Jon can barely sing at this point, but that has never stopped Vince from tour...

Really?
I always thought both were awful

Yes, really.

I like quiet riot metal health a lot. Spin that album regularly.

Keel has no redeeming qualities that I can hear.

After reading this thread I might be the only one who actually likes reach for the sky.

I despise that song.

One of my favourite albums of all time. This album, the 1999 S/T album and the song Nobody Rides For Free are the only RATT I love. The complete opposite to all other RATT fans. Everybody likes nobody rides for free. And detonator is a fairly popular album as you can see by most of the posts here.

KISS - then she kissed me

Not the best set list. He was playing deeper cuts before.

VH?

Van Halen. The original line up

Cutting out the dead weight (everything about Thanley, backing tracks, click tracks, more fiery players) has never been more easily apparent. I thought he was sluggish because of the costume, but those things really arent that heavy, I think he just was totally sick of the current production. Would...

Thought it was decent. Probably the best sludger song I've heard.

And it is a million times better than the new crue song.

And a gold record.

I'm actually surprised the debut didn't go gold.

How did I not know that Tico Torres is that much older than Jon!

I'm on the second episode now. About to watch the part about livin' on a prayer.

Edit. Always good seeing Vancouver represented!

Enjoying the series so far.

I like it. Its a fun album. Probably my 3rd favourite ratt release after the first 2 albums. Wouldn't call it a masterpiece though. I don't think any ratt albums can be classified as a masterpiece.

A good song

Probably their last great song.

I liked those two new songs on the 98 greatest hits album. Bitter Pill and Enslaved. If i die tomorrow counts right? That was decent. There might have been a couple of songs off saints of Los Angeles. The title track at the time seemed alright. Or maybe it was the novelty of the group vocals from ot...

Def Leppard are not brummies. Steinman is an idiot if he said that

Is he still tweeting?

Yeah it is alright but a bit rudimentary. Has a highway to hell sound to it. Would have been cool if they had fleshed a proper song out of it.

Was it one of the KISS songs you used to play in your band?

The worst part about the album is the jay leno interview.

Yeah pretty well known they were re-recorded. I like them though! Prefer them more than firehouse on alive.
