I reluctantly checked out some Collective Soul, based in part on Demonfilth's ball washing of them.

I have to say they have many good tunes. A little generic and paint-by-numbers, but well-produced, well-crafted, good catchy rock.

It's a fucking cover band

I mean, nothing wrong with that, but to compare what you saw to 1982 Day on the Green is idiotic.
Totally different bands.

Medicore player.

But, as they say, great songwriting and great guitar playing are not hand in hand -- in fact, they are often oppositional.

I was surprised to see this.... but I guess henley has really lost his voice and gone the Roger Waters route.

embarrassing .... he has more money than God, so why bother doing this if you no longer can? ( i know, rhetorical question)

Great Singer. So many different tones to his voice (consider Gonna Raise Hell as a great example of all he can do).

He still sounds very good -- not great.

I saw clips..... wow, they look and feel so devoid of energy, as most 75 year olds do. Even Rudolph was moving very little and Klaus is planted. Makes me sad, because I recall seeing on Blackout and Love at first sting tours, and they are INCREDIBLY high energy... one of the best live acts I saw in ...

that's actually a good song!

yeah, it's the upfront nature of all this that makes it okay.
it's got to really suck to be a decent singer who, for whatever reason, can no longer sing well on stage....

I, too, have been wondering where the money is coming from with KK's Priest..... Although he got crushed on the golf course, IF he did the purchase correctly as an LLC or whatever it might be in Scotland or England and with investors, his personal money may not/ should not have been decimated, depen...

Hey, it's a heavy metal singer, he's bitching about high ticket prices. His band tries to keep their ticket prices at a "reasonable" level. Let's all shit on him for it. 🤣🤣🤣 Do they, though? I think they, like all bands, go to Live nation, work out the best deal they can with them, get it...

Based on the live clips I have seen, his voice is not 80-90% of what it was -- not close. But that's a testament to how ridiculously good his voice was in his younger years, and he still has kept it MUCH better than pretty much any of his contemporaries. I also want to lodge a small protest at Milli...

I actually stopped doing any blow whatsoever because of fentanyl (not that I even used with any frequency or regularity, more if someone showed up at a party or a show with some), and got into a strong fight with my girl who wanted to continue very occasionally despite the risk. she sometimes liked ...

I hate to admit it, but "dancing Cuban bear" is funny....

Scott's post mad me sad .... for Scott.

That sweet little prince actually got excited that he might get Vanessa out of her private asylum and making music, playing live, etc....

I never understood why people who are necessarily in the public eye and whose appearance therefore matters, let themselves get that fat ....
I mean, I understand it. I guess I mean to say, I strongly disapprove of it.

Just want my position to be crystal clear.

I am truly shocked he stayed with her. I would like to say it's because he is a loyal, good man and wanted a reliable woman who loved him before he became rich and famous. But we all know better. He's always been very good (read: tight) with money, and I tip my hat to him: he managed to preserve his...

They have 3-4 good songs. The rest is filler. But Vinnie Moore is a great guitarist. And there he is ..... Although I have to shamefully admit that I recently saw the light on Collective Soul, given your constant braying about them. they are surprisingly consistent. Collective Soul is like if plain...

they are surprisingly consistent.

Strangers in the Night is the gateway drug.

Although I greatly prefer the Schenker era, the Wild the Willing and the Innocent may be the best album in terms of consistent song-to-song quality. It's a great album.

Almost.....

Beatles catalogue would still be tops in today's world.

amazing I never got into this thread while it was happening!!

Have made it to page 60.....

I'm loving it.

So many people from long ago gone though.....

Roger Waters - from 1985 to 1999
David Lee Roth

It's absolutely shocking to me that The Fat One hasn't yet responded on X or twitter or whatever with some meltdown....

It suggests that he may be a little nervous of DLR and can't really match wits to wits?

He was talking about Wolf’s albums being DOA right? VHND said he was talking about the Van Wolfgang albums. https://www.vhnd.com/2024/02/03/david-lee-roth-has-a-different-kind-of-story-behind-why-van-halens-final-studio-album-isnt-on-streaming-services/ I've only been half paying attention to this,...

Someone cliff note me here please… Did Roth and Al both say somewhere that they do not like the album, ADKOT? To be honest, I’ve never heard it before and when it came out I refused to listen to any song from it. No Mike, NO Van Halen! NO. DLR has never said he didn't like ADKOT. He's simply statin...

i don't think Dave is saying he doesn't LIKE ADKOT. he's saying that it was a commercial flop and the juice ain't worth the squeeze to renegotiate rights and make a streaming deal, when they get paid virtually nothing (and the lawyer's fees will be exorbitant - I still chuckle at the Wolfie voice sa...

It's actually not the embarrassment I was expecting....

it's solid.

Sammy actually held it together for quite some time.... but, yeah, he has started to look really rough lately... age is a bitch Still, as annoying as that fucker can be, he sure has been one of the big winners in the rock star game: his tequila investments were smart and wise. He's loaded. Nice look...

You know, David Lee Roth has mostly come across like an anachronistic embarrassment over the years, especially his weird videos. BUT this one is fucking great. Classic opening. And then the back and forth with Wolfie and the therapist or whomever is just really well scripted, clever, and incredibly ...

Is there nobody in Rob's life that cares enough about him to tell him the big white beard looks terrible?
