A lot of rare/fairly sought after stuff. Havent done a full value dive in awhile. But a snippet off the top of my head... Original pressings of: All Beatles albums (thanks Mom) Some Stones/Who/Purple/Zep Too Fast for Love (Leathur) Shout at the Devil Kill Em All (with the quote) Ultimate Sin Black S...

Does anyone wear shirts of himself or his band more than Bert?

They needed more Chains Around Heaven and Hold On to 18 and less of everything else.

And to be better than just okay.

Doing pretty good having just turned 44. Get up every day at 4am and go to the gym before work. Have a second and sometimes third job freelancing. Also about to have my 3rd book published. Very busy schedule. Still pound beers pretty well on weekends but I've cut it to only Friday happy hour/evening...

Turds of Misery

I think Linda Ronstadt had a couple minor lyrical tweaks in her version of Tumbling Dice. I almost want to say Jagger even wrote them for her? Little foggy on that one but I remember something along those lines.

Gonna throw the 3 live albums Armored Saint has released in here too. All awesome.

Surprisingly good song. Intro has a Quicksand Jesus vibe to it. Kinda wish it was a bit longer actually. Then the rest is solid and catchy. Pretty impressive tune.

Was also a fan of their second album, Trouble in Angel City. Snagged it of course due to Love is a Lie being on the Friday the 13th IV soundtrack (and the scene with Crispin Glover's ridiculous dancing, even though Love is a Lie wasn't the song he was dancing to), and endd up digging the whole recor...

Hell yeah, one of my favorite Ozzy records. Is it Diary or Blizzard? No, but it has its own fun ride. Jake on Ultimate Sin is like George on Back for the Attack. Career highlight for guitar work. Had the cassette way back when, then the CD for the longest time and finally tracked down a good quality...

Saxon - Eagle Has Landed (the sequels are all good too, but the original is just a fuckin classic) Maiden - Live After Death Ozzy - Tribute Metallica - Live Shit (also the live shows they've released on the album deluxe box sets are pretty great) Sabbath - Live at Last Dio - Holy Diver Live (Evil or...

Sucks. Great player and seemed like a cool dude. His work with ABB and Great Southern always kicked ass.

No one wants to hear a Foreigner deep cut

I'd be down to hear them do Tooth and Nail. Good album opener. And it'd have some subtle irony for Pilson.

So Crue is gonna be trying to be Kane Brown or some awful sounding shit? Tommy Lee adding some twang to Get Naked? Maybe an acoustic, drawled-out version of Brandon to finally get that song the love it deserves?

'Saint gets some deserved love around here, and Decline of Western Civ II does too for many reasons, but what about a bridge gapper for both...Mr. Jeff Duncan? No bullshit...you think he's a good guitarist/backup vocalist/band guy or no? Dude went from Odin to Lostboys to Armored Saint so as far as...

This right here! I’ve been way into Texas Country/Red Dirt for about a decade now. Add Shane Smith and the Saints and Cody Jinx to the above list (and remove Kolby Cooper) and you have much of my regular rotation. Absolutely this. Some great artists here. I'd also add Jamie Lin Wilson, Courtney Pat...

Turnpike Troubadours, Zach Bryan, Whiskey Myers, American Aquarium, Wade Bowen, Parker McCollum, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, John Moreland and Kolby Cooper to name a few. This right here!

Willie's Roadhouse is the best channel on XM.

I love classic and outlaw country: Waylon, Haggard, Willie, Johnny, George, Kris, Don Williams, Ed Bruce, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Dolly, Buck Owens, Hank, Lefty, et. al. A lot of the classic duets are great too: George/Tammy, Porter/Dolly, Conway/Loretta, etc. Bro Country I can't stand though....

Really sucks. I'm a big BBS fan and by all accounts he seemed like a really wonderful guy. Did a lot for children's cancer research/treatment/fundraising in the ATL area. His daughter had cancer when she was real little. A big chunk (in some cases, all) of the band's earnings over the years from M&a...

Damn! Not the greatest chorus, but everything else cooks. Was this a leftover track from the Painkiller sessions, studio trickery, AI, or can Halford really still pull this off once in awhile? He sounds 30 years younger here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HGCbuSKIeM Based on the songs released so...

Jesus those lyrics are bad. Music...okay. Vocals and lyrics...farts are better.

Any love for this record? I've always dug it. Then a couple years ago I got to interview the producer, Roger Probert (for a completely different thing, he works in the elevator industry) and we got to chatting about the album and his work and he's a hilarious old British guy...the kind you'd love to...

John Bush

Not a fan of all their music, or even some of their hits, but they definitely have their share of great songs. Boy George could flat out write a good pop song and had/has a great voice.

Tom Werman's new book was mentioned in the Jeff Pilson thread, and that got me thinking. What are some good behind-the-scenes/making-of-style books about albums or tours? Whether written by the artists or producers, doesn't matter. Whether it's about the actual writing/recording process or the fun &...

I’ve listened to a lot of Pilson interviews. He’s very intelligent and levelheaded. If he says greed and ego got in the way of Dokken’s success, then I believe him. Don says drugs hurt the cause, and he would be right about that too. I hope for one last album or tour but the odds look bad after thi...

Jeff’s an articulate and well reasoned guy. Too bad he’s wasted in Foreigner. It's a money maker for him though. Probably a pretty sizeable one too. They still draw big crowds and he's been with them for what, 20 years now? On top of that, he's got a bunch of side gigs: A handful of albums with him...

Probably the closest you'll ever hear Jeff get almost angry or talk the tiniest amount of shit :D But he's right. Why Don keeps being a bitter old curmudgeon makes no sense, unless he's trying to drum up a little attention for his new album (which is actually quite good), before his next tour. Eithe...
