Re: Are current hair metal guys making 6 figures?

I'm guessing the 3 main guys in Steel Panther each easily make at least 100k... And if their new bass player is the road/tour/band manager or whatever, make that 4. BEYOND! I would bet double that or more. I have heard some stuff, first hand, and been to everyone of their homes years ago... all wer...

Re: Are current hair metal guys making 6 figures?

Bret Michaels for sure. Way more than six figures; he's a whole brand now. As far as B- and C-list bands go, the songwriters probably break six figures every year with the publishing checks. Just with "I Remember You," Snake and Rachel have to be living pretty comfortably. A bunch of hair...

Re: New GUNS N' ROSES single next Friday: "Perhaps"

I think it might be a joke boyos... I don't know...there's a link. I didn't click on it. Half the fans around here love that album and half the fans hate it.

Re: Nikki Angling for Crue/GnR Tour...

I’ll play devils advocate. First of all GNR is no better than Crue. Neither band has a stage show, and both singers are awful. So let’s put that lie to rest. In fact, Crue has a significantly better catalog. IS GNR “selling out” stadiums??? Really?? I’m not so sure about that in 2023. And demand in...

Re: “Respected” bands that you think are overrated

I definitely am not a fan of the Illusion records. They sound too sterile to me. Like all the energy and vibe were sucked out of the tunes. Not a November Rain fan that drum fill is a prime example of how boring lifeless I find those albums.…but the Slash solo (and huge power chords) are badass. I ...

Re: Why is Bret so against Poison?

It's just total narcissism. He could have done both if he wanted to. They had the original lineup back for 24 years and released 1 album of new material. They could have added to their catalog and toured every few years and Bret still would have had time to his low-rent act on the side. They made g...

Party-gras is the joke of the year. Bret has to know he’s staring at thousands of free admission troglodytes every night.

I think this was the band where the Paul Stanley caught fire and he just kept singing and didn't miss a beat. No that was a Kiss tribute band. With this, it's just Paul and maybe Gene at the same time... the other dudes just look like regular rock guys. Yeah, I think it is hairball: https://www.you...

Meh. That's what everyone here said about that Slayer/King Diamond/Hell Yeah Mayhem fest but it kept going.

Marilyn Manson sung with vocal fry.

The last video I saw of JBJ singing was like he had suffered a stroke. It was like he was singing a different song than what was being played.
