Re: STP at Welcome to Rockville
Huge STP fan. Saw the genuine article probably 10-15x between 1996 and 2010. I’m also fine with plenty of bands carrying on without their frontman (AIC, for example). I saw STP with Jeff at a festival last October and it was just lame and sad. Lifeless. They didn’t dare go beyond the first three alb...

Re: The most valuable vinyl you own
My dad has a ton of original pressings from the 60s and 70s but the most valuable I own would be the original AFD that’s sealed. Got it at the local record shop for $30 when I was 13. I think it hovers in value around $500 these days. Surprised it isn’t worth more.

Re: How healthy do you think you are?
9, realistically 9.5. Currently in the best shape of my life, exercise 3-4x per week, barely drink alcohol, don’t smoke, probably 2/3 of what I eat is healthy/Mediterranean diet-ish. In my 20s I’d laugh at “high on life” platitudes, now that I’m 40 I get it. These days I’ll go on vacation and eat ha...

Re: Your stage gear as a Rocker
During the nu metal era I was guilty of quite a few fashion crimes including but not limited to red pants, leopard hair, and superglued spiked hair. I hope the 15 people at my gigs appreciated my efforts. That's funny. That is how many of my cover gigs went back in the 2010s in turnout. Some were d...

Re: Memphis
I like Overton Park in midtown that has the zoo. It’s a good walk. Beale Street is fine for what it is. I thought the BBQ out there was pretty disappointing. I remember Brother Juniper’s was a real good breakfast spot.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?

This is the best Perfect Crime. Axl throws an absolute shit fit during the second half of the first verse and it never fails to crack me up.

Glad Slash is giving it some love. Doubt we’ll see it from GN’R again.

Re: Calling it now: AVH's Brothers will be made into a movie. And it will suck.
Cringing at the thought.
The one scene that would be fun early in the plot is a story Eddie told about when he first came to America and didn’t speak much English and he apparently answered in the affirmative to a kid asking, “Do you want me to hit you with this?”

Tattoo is without a doubt the worst song on ADKOT but all things being relative it’s a great album and Tattoo isn’t a bad song per se, just pretty basic and boring compared to the others and it doesn’t help that it was the first song and first single. Without You is one of the less-weak songs on an ...

Re: Mike Post Claims Ed Played All The Drums on VHIII
Was surprised to read this a couple days ago.
The intro to “Without You” sure sounds like Alex to me. If that’s Ed, wow.
Also I guess Alex hadn’t actually been sober since the 80s.

If they’re done like the last couple of albums, sure.
Or if Zakk’s the main guitarist. As far back as Black Rain I listened pretty much just for the Zakk solos and they’re always great.

Fuuuuuuuuck.
Nearly 30 years’ worth of Slash solo material. The two songs out of the gate for this project are the only two songs I’ve ever felt compelled to send to people like “Holy shit you’ve gotta hear this!”

Not bad, but my favorite instance of a thrash band covering Sir Elton is Flotsam & Jetsam's cover of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOA6USLxSsw This is not even one iota different from how I was expecting it to sound before I clicked the link....
