Half of ghost?

Two ex members of Ghost, also a third ex member produced their last album

Which one was in Judas Priest?

Half is the singer of Priest.

Other than Green Day and Henry Rollins, are there any other punx that salute VH?

Ah. Pat Smear. Even after Ed drunkenly called him a Mexican.

"Shot in the Dark" was the first I'd ever heard or seen Ozzy. So I thought that's just what Ozzy looked like--a crying old lady.

They looked hard as fuck in those leather dusters!

I love that song but I have almost ZERO idea what it's about.

I'm glad they moved on from walking hand in hand in the sand but what the hell is a Quicksand Jesus.

How do bad lyrics make a song less good? I never understood this. Yes, there are some dumb lyrics out there. I give zero shits about it. I listen to the music and don't care much for the words. Most of the time I'm not even paying attention to them. It's rock music. This genre started with "1-...

I can't believe there aren't more fans here. It's big arena pop music.

Never understood the hype for it.

The only good part of crazy train is the intro.

This is OUTRAGEOUS nonsense.

I was like "Oh wow. Kiss is heavy now."

At that point a lot of bands were going in that direction--Motley, Priest, etc--so it wasn't all that jarring.

I though about buying the tape, even. Big deal.

No.

It took me years before I could even stomach Van Hagar.

I gave Chickenbutt a whirl, some time around what we can call the That Metal Show era, where it seemed like everyone was starting supergroups and they all sounded virtually identical.

74% of them had Glenn Hughes in the band.

0.0%

Dude's violating gag orders, snoring in the courtoom, ripping loud farts... nothing's going to happen to this guy. He will be handled with kid gloves until his dying breath.

I celebrate both the Randy and Jake albums as "classic Ozzy."

Ozzy's success with Zakk speaks for itself, and NMT is a great album, but it was a different vibe. Ozzy was trying to become more respectable and choke out his wife less. The music suffered.

The opening scene writes itself: The Van Halen family on a ship, coming over from the Netherlands, playing music to pay their way. Once they land in America, the kids can't speak a word of English so they learn to communicate through MUSIC. :o The rest of the movie will be about how they drank a lot.

Skylarking, probably.

Apple Venus is a good entry point too.

I'm with ElectrickMagick, they really did get better with age.

Also also, the whole point of RFK Jr, and why he's getting squillions of GOP dollars, is to be a spoiler for Biden--to divide the Democratic vote.

That would be a C.

But that would make anything under a 6/10 an F.

I didn't work out the grading system. I'll get back to you once I finish the syllabus.

I like it. She's a pretty good lyricist.

But a lot of these songs sound the same to me.

At the end of the day, I'm not a 9 year old girl so I'm not the audience here. It's fine for what it is.

I'd give it a B+, maybe a 7.5/10.

Ha. Yes.

I completely forgot there was a Motley song called "Without You."

The internet is the future!

https://officialaxlrose.com

I actually like both just fine.

Might go with "Tattoo."

Pro-labor > Anti-abortion

VH3 does indeed have some cool guitar stuff on it but suggesting it's anywhere near, say, Fair Warning is preposterous.

Jellyfish was great but XTC was the greatest.

As you were, lads.

Slayer - Decade of Agression
Exodus - Another Lesson in Violence
Priest - Unleashed in the East (yeah, I know...)
Pantera - Official Live: 101 Proof
Ozzy - Tribute

Great list.

Tribute, especially. What a great album.

Early 90's: Gregorian chants

Late 90's/early 00's: Old gospel and blues songs remixed

Late 00's/early 10's: Bearded folk bands get Clear Channel push to steer kids away from black music

COVID times: Sea shanties
