The riff/rhythm section really sucks, especially compared to original. Tempo is a bit staid, and it's just kind of clunky. But the vocal is cool, and Slash really gets it doing in the solo/jam section. Overall, I'll give this a B.

Yes. And of course, Mick Mars played with a prick.

Matteo Mancuso would like a word.

Thought you'd say that but since you put UTG #2 anything was possible. UTG is a filler/skip track imo. 3-chord Jon Lord vamp that doesn't really go anywhere. So many other great songs on that album... Nobody's Home, Mean Streak, Hungry Daze... Nobody's Home I like, but the other two don't move me. ...

Kalodner's Folly. None of those records even went copper.

Kalodner had Portrait.

I'm glad. Always like podcasts with producers, and you tended to ask good questions. For a few years, I regularly looked for it, and I've missed it while it was gone. This is good news. Thank you.

Odd take... which one's 1st?

Knocking. I don't enjoy the title track much at all.

Don Dokken (solo band with Norum, Billy White, and Ken Mary) When was Mary in DD's solo band? AFAIK they started with Swedish drummer Hempo Hildén (who also was in John Norum's solo band) and did some photos and demos with him, and for the album and tour they had another Swede, Mikkey Dee. Anyway w...

Deep Purple. That's the 2nd best song on their comeback album.

Band needs one of the members to be MD and make the hard decisions when occasionally a cancelation or postponement is needed. That person needs to have the cajones to do what's right.

Andy Sturmer / Jon Brion (ornate pop) Steve Vai / Danny Carey (progressive rock) Ted Nugent / Billie Eilish (TV reality show with contestants locked in a room together until a song or a pelt emerges) Dick Hyman / Mike Hunt (sax improvisations) Daryl Hall & Kenny Loggins (on some rock & soul ...

I wish Andy would actually release something. I have kids that like Scooby Doo, so I have heard a lot of the stuff he has done for the various shows/movies. Some of that stuff is more Archies than Jellyfish, but it would nice if some of that stuff was given a full release. This was for a different ...

Both are excellent, but Spilt Milk is more consistent and also flows well lyrically from start to finish. And I prefer the sound quality of that one. I do like Jason Falkner's solo albums quite a bit, where he also gets in much more guitar work. I love Author Unknown and Can You Still Feel. Too bad...

Juan's dancing beats Bobby's flag routine every time.

Dude done hit the big time... playing at the Dosey Doe in Houston. What's next? The Six Pack Saloon? Juan will be doing the Beyonce Texas Hold Em dance. The Dosey Doe is a GREAT venue (and has really good food). But it's more of a dinner club kind of place, for jazz and fusion and singer-songwriter...

Rod Stewart sings Jellyfish

I was kind of disappointed when I got the Imperial Drag album. Some of the demos from that album were leaked out almost a year before the album came out and a lot of the ones I liked didn't make it to the album. The demos were released on Weed, some file share service, about 10 years later. You can...

Enjoyed both, but STP only sporadically. And they could be kind of bad when not on. In the original run, AIC was spectacular every time out except perhaps the S/T album, which still had some really good moments. And Jerry Cantrell's first two solo albums are as good as AIC, making that a very strong...

(And Crazy World was their Hot in the Shade. A whole lot of meh with a big hit power ballad to save it.)

Crazy World was even worse than SA. I got off the train there. I just couldn't see eye to eye with the band anymore.

Media Overkill and We Let It Rock are the only two good songs on the whole record. Even worse, it sounded worse than their prior 4 albums despite using the same producer. I remember being profoundly bored with this one as an 18-year-old.

Kansas in a small bar in about 1990 or 1991. Steve Walsh was . . . energetic.

David Lee Roth in a sort of dance club like place (essentially a really big bar) in 1994. It was actually quite a good show, though.
