Yup, Boney M and Abba were on the radio non stop.
My grandma loved Boney M because of the crazy dancing man....

My guess is he only did the vocals and some solos on the album and nothing else

When the British came to liberate the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the prisoners were in disbelief because they assumed the Nazis won and the rest of the world was dead. It was the only way they could rationalize nobody coming to save them. Ged told this story to Neil Peart, who wrote "Re...

I went to that wooden temple thing. Incredible sight to see just standing there on the beach and all built by hand, all wood, no nails and screws. Also went to that big buddha, pretty cool as well. The hyper commercialized sex industry I was less enthusiastic about, not because I am a saint, but bec...

Welcome to communism. To be fair I assume the "current residents" weren't those who took the houses from the Auschwitz survivors. The usual after the war was that the Communist governments handed out houses left by escaping or killed Nazis. This was in the netherlands, not in a communist ...

Oh, and once free, they went back to their homes just to have the current residents treat them with hostility, like "You're not going to want your houses back, are you?" And getting back taxes and fines for not paying their taxes whilst being murdered away in a concentration camp. Welcome...

Jendell Productions LLS bought the home in November 2000, for $650,000. The company then signed the house over to Frehley Feb. 19, 2004, according to the Westchester Clerk's Office. This is interesting. He bought the house from his own company? I am assuming Jendell Productions is his company, the ...

I thought Steve Harris bailed him out for medical bills a few years ago? Why would he? DiAnno will get his medical from the NHS, being British and living in the UK. There are no medical bills for him. If he is not living in the UK, all he has to do is fly there. Massive NHS waiting lists, though. 3...

It sure is a hindrance not having to worry about making a living and getting record deals and tour slots solely because of who your dad is.
Fact is without his dad, he wouldn't have any sort of business. The world of is full of guys who can play a instrument well and play mediocre music....

Except the documentation clearly says Paul and Gene are the owners of the design.
You can't lease something you do not own.
Now, maybe when he sold it they worked out a payment plan, but the design is not his....

Fucked up people tend to cry easily.

Yup, there are multiple people with stories of Eddie drunk crying and telling them how much he loved them....he cried when Nancy Wilson gave him an acoustic guitar.

Bon Jovi on the New Jersey tour twice!
It was so boring. Every song was drawn out to 10 minutes and in between he kept droning on about New Jersey and brotherhood like he was Springsteen.

On the Bark at the Moon tour Carmine Appice wanted to intervene when Ozzy was knocking Sharon around at a roadside restaurant. Bob Daisley told him to let them be and that if anyone needed help in this fight it would be Ozzy... That's hilarious. And how did I not know that Carmine Appice played wit...

But wouldn't wolf just eat him?

Can you imagine having to deal with Sharon for God knows how long?

Well, usually it wasn't that long before you got fired by her...

Maybe he's like Tommy Aldridge, very popular to use as a live performer. not so much in the studio.

KISS in the early 70's. They made it seem they were huge but they were running on fumes before ALIVE! broke. Aucoin's credit card maxed out. Paul's "hole in Bill's shoe story" puts it in perspective. Even when they were really huge in 76-78, a lot of it was still smoke and mirrors. Especi...

It's very normal for a company that does $100 million a year to be left with a couple million in profit. Net profit = revenue – cost of goods sold – operating expenses – interest – taxes. Example: Amazon's net profit is 3.36%, and they are big enough to secure the most favorable deals on the planet...

I'm not sure what is considered prime Pantera, but I saw them opening for Priest on the Cowboys from Hell tour and Annihilator went over way better with the fans....

The fact they they're willing to completely remove him from all future things Motley shows that things have really been fucked up behind the scenes for a while. There's also wives involved wanting their claim to the fortune. I can see not getting a "performance fee", however, denying him ...

So they are going to settle to keep even more dirty laundry out of the press....

Has anyone heard of similar culture clashes between bands and foreigners that went something like this? On the Bark at the Moon tour Carmine Appice wanted to intervene when Ozzy was knocking Sharon around at a roadside restaurant. Bob Daisley told him to let them be and that if anyone needed help i...

Not the band, but there was the little matter of Elvis never touring outside the US because his foreign, illegal immigrant, possible murderer, manager was terrified of one or both of those being found out, in which case he'd have been promptly deported, never to return. As it was, he hid both for l...

After Slide It In and before WS '87 David Coverdale was in debt $3 million to Geffen Records and was doing anonymous New York Seltzer jingles for extra cash.

Peter’s musically not good enough to play with anyone. Ace’s ego makes him think he’s too big to tour with anyone and he can’t even play Cold Gin properly anymore let alone learn anything else. Vinnie is mentally ill. Bruce, sure. Elton Singer, sure. So what does that leave us, a Kulick/Singer/Kern...
