Gary Cherone when he was in Van Halen. Literally https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_zWOWqSSirA7cAp2dHIMHwTwk_sWPkdOijA&s Always liked Gary in VH. That tour was the best set list the band ever played and one of the most ferocious musically they ever delivered. I’ll put that ...

Can't he just be "rated." Not over or under? Right where he belongs. Like Joe Jackson or Warren Zevon. Joe Jackson is underrated AF. Zevon..meh I’m a fan but I don’t get all the hype. A lot like Leon Russell. I highly respect him and am awed by Russell’s career but his albums, at least fr...

I don’t understand the whole ‘make fun of an act cause they don’t sell out every show like Taylor swift’ mentality. no one can stay anywhere near the top for very long, and this current climate is complete dogshit Especially from grown men posting on a hair metal forum in 2024. I am not a huge Alic...

Yeah the bros were both alkies. Ed was the melancholy brooding drunk and Al was the silent angry drunk. Sammy said Alex quit in the 80s. Counterpoint: I wouldn't trust Sammy as far as I can throw him. Given you’re an unabashed Anthrax fan I’m not sure your judgment is all that sound. Ed and Dave we...

Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 11:47 am Yeah I also find that hard to believe. He was still running thru wives in the 90s and 00s.

You have to be an alcoholic to run through wives?

I really enjoy this album! I like every track on here except This Means War and That's the Way I Wanna Rock n Roll. Two's Up is awesome and there's a lot of mid-tempo numbers that just seems to groove nicely. I'd give it 8/10. I never understood all the love for Fly on here. I felt Video and Razor’...

I think all staged choreography is stupid, from KISS rocking back and forth to what Gene's blood routine evolved into compared to the early days. Warrant down on their knees in unison, rocking back and forth—that kind of thing. I always thought spinning the guitar/bass around one's neck a la Cinder...

The Skid Row guys 100% have made the right decision to never let that douche back into the band. 1000% right. All the people on here saying shit like "check your ego at the door," "just make it about the music," etc, might a well be saying "just grow wings and fly" or ...

I wouldn’t call myself a die hard fan of her band but how can you not love her? Great voice, greater musician, great image and personality. She salutes and jams with all ours and her old hair metal heroes as well as the 90s and Nu Mil alt shit that was more her generation. She’s a class act and a tr...

Just heard from a somewhat reliable source (aka a “a friend of a friend who would know”) that Janet IS returning, and Share might be as well. Stay tuned… That will last about five seconds before the infighting starts. They had a good run and a good thing going with Lorraine. What a shame. Isn’t Sha...

Sebastian is the voice of reason here. Original Skid Row do owe it to us, We’ve been waiting long enough. Here's the thing. Nobody "owes" the fans anything, and it's the height of delusion to think that just because you liked a band thirty years ago they somehow have an obligation to get ...

Dave has to be the dumbest band leader of all time. His gigantic ego sabotaged the only chance he had at eclipsing Van Halen.


I would also argue that Dave is ten times the douche and nightmare that Sebastian Bach ever was.

Sebastian is the voice of reason here. Original Skid Row do owe it to us, We’ve been waiting long enough.

Skid Row have gone through four singers in a little over ten years. It’s not a good look.

I’d like to see Stephen, Juan and Warren go out with a second 80s guitarist and an 80s drummer. That’s probably too big of an ask.

I'm sure this is old news, but I didn't realize until yesterday the reason why they broke up in the first place (or at least the cited one). Bach goes and gets Skid Row booked as the opener for KISS on their big reunion tour in 96, and the rest of the guys give him the "Fuck no, we're Skid Row...

I’m sure they will find another singer or retire. I hope they bring Sebastian and Rob back finally.

Might have to give them a listen. Even back in 1990, I thought their big power ballad was a list of lyrical cliches - almost a parody. Just looked up the stats. The album went Gold and the single hit #23. I just recall thinking, "Why is MTV playing this video so much?" I was too busy digg...

He shrugged and said "I dunno, probably like a bunch of burned out fags?"

You literally just described all the rock musicians and bands we discuss here.

Juan is awesome and the most talented musician in Ratt. Blotz makes Phil Rudd sound like Lee Kerslake. Ummmmm….I’m gonna go with Warren D Martini on this one. I used to think that until I read the songwriting credits. Aside from a couple bright spots like Round and Round, and Lay It Down, Warren ro...

So basically, you make the statement that "not one online site" was shut down, and then follow up by stating that sites were shut down. Nice. The problem is that as soon as you your criteria is something subjective like "crazy conspiracy theories", there's room for error, and du...

You didn't but you got all sarcastic about her having marijuana, but didn't mention the heroine. That’s correct and you find that to be problematic? It should be obvious why I was sarcastic about one and not the other. Any date after 2000, the laws against doing formerly "taboo" drugs hav...

Original Def Leppard
The Blizzard of Ozz
KISS with Carr & Kulick
Deep Purple MKIV
Metallica with Cliff
Racer X
Coverdale/Page
Original Skid Row
Original Steelheart
Snakepit
Jellyfish

I’d pay $1200 to go see U2. It’d be a better show than the time I saw scab Eagles for $100 in the late 90s.

Bruce really is an elitist tw@t. Maybe he deserved that egging from the Osbourne’s

Nickelback is this generation’s Winger …. Interpret that however you want … 🤔🤔🤔 Except for Winger could never headline arenas and while selling respectably for their time, never had the kind of album sales Nickelback had. Nickelback is more like Motley Crue. They’ve sold something like 50 million w...

Oh so Heroin is fine then?

Where did I say that?

You didn't but you got all sarcastic about her having marijuana, but didn't mention the heroine.

Healthy Family? His daughter certainly had some issues, she OD on heroin " According to the Kirkland Police Department, Bongiovi, a 19-year-old student at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., was arrested after heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were discovered in her dorm room. She was ch...

Maybe it was because she couldn't sing... I'm sure that she needed a LOT of work in the studio to sound good and they didn't have that kind of time. Can see her being self-aware enough to realize that too. This. Cyndi could sing and was a little older, she was in her early 30s at the time. Madonna,...
