Excellent answer! I was Made for Lovin You. Yes, Paul gave Jon Bon Jovi his number. The rest is history.

In no particular order: Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love Wildside - Under the Influence Cinderella- Night Songs Poison - Looked What the Cat Dragged In Ratt - Out of the Cellar Danger Danger - s/t Kingdom Come - s/t Stryper - To Hell With the Devil Bon Jovi - Slippery...

I haven’t seen the doc. Does it go into any details about how they got in touch with Desmond Child and then wrote together their biggest hits in Richies moms basement?

That’s the most intriguing part of their career for me.

windycitycane

Didn’t Desmond Child have complete control over this?

Wrote all the songs, brought in heavy hitters like Jon BonJovi and Dianne Warren.

He was probably getting a lions share of the publishing too.

Good album!

What constitutes D-List?

Wildside - Under the Influence

windycitycane

Loved those heart albums. Yea, Ann was a basket case over her weight. I recall Nancy having to calm her down off panic attacks onstage. Hasn’t Ann lost a lot of the weight now? Another one was Paula Abdul. I recall a couple of videos where she was ‘stretched’. Also, the Blues Travelers band scripted...

Its a shame Bob Daisley and Lee Kershaw won’t get any recognition- they deserve it.

Kool and The Gang! Finally.

windycitycane

In my opinion, it’s a masterpiece. Top to bottom, not a bad tune on it. For me, one of the best albums of all time.

windycitycane

Lindsay Buckingham doesn’t use a pick either. Fantastic player and he has the songs too.

John 5 can rip without a pick too.

Unlike sports Hall of Fame, it doesn't mean they were the best of the best or changed the game. It's like a beauty pageant. Maybe, but even the Pro Sports Halls of Fame are already "Halls Of Pretty Good". Harold Baines? Kirby Puckett? Joe Namath? Yes, Namath. His career stats are fucking ...

A solo show.
If you like instrumental shows, he is a good one to check out

windycitycane

Is he? A solo show. I would recommend going. I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t know what to expect and I usually don’t like instrumental shows. Eric Johnson was another show I enjoyed. He plays a lot of different guitars, banjos, ukuleles, bass and more. Lots of different styles. He doesn’t j...

Agreed.

And no Phil Collins? That’s ridiculous. He had more Top 40 hits than anyone else the entire decade of the 80s.

windycitycane

Kool and the Gang and Cher definitely deserve it.

Matt Smith formerly of Poison? "By 1985, guitarist Smith was rapidly becoming disillusioned with Poison, as he was about to become a father and was growing doubtful of the band's chances of success. He subsequently left the band and returned home to Pennsylvania, leaving Poison's future very m...

I always thought Janet Gardner quitting Vixen was a bad move.
Why not just tour sporadically solo and stay in the band?

windycitycane

Unfortunately at this point, if the singer is the cause of all these cancellations- you’ve got to move on from him. I wonder how long the bad is going to keep him. I wonder if they knew about the potential risks of this when they hired him. It’s not like the original band members are young. They hav...

GnR started out raw as fuck and far from polished. Now they are the definition of safe, overly processed crap. "Evolving" is not what this is. This is Axl surrounded by a bunch of people too afraid to tell him this really sucks. Exactly. The emporor has no clothes. I can’t believe Slash a...

windycitycane

Every time they put out a ‘new’ so g they prove again why they are one of the most overrated bands in history.

This.

GnR would have been a 2nd rate Wildside had Under the Influence come out in ‘86!

windycitycane

An absolute classic. 10/10

windycitycane

Was it only Journey tunes or a variety of covers?

I figured it was only a matter if time before he started stepping out.

windycitycane

I'll go along with the basic premise of this thread. Guns n' Roses is the ultimate "greater-than-the-sum-of-their-parts" band. As soon as they made it big, they dismantled the main thing going for them (chemistry) piece by piece. They all released solo albums (and ChiDem is definitely Axl...

windycitycane

I think as we’ve all aged, new music doesn’t have the same impact. We reminisce about the old tunes and albums. Motley could put Too Fast for Love today in their 60s and it wouldn’t resonate the same way as when we were 16. Music was about our lives at the time just as much as it was about the tunes...

windycitycane

Strangely enough, my 2 favorite power ballads were not released as singles:

Don’t Walk Away - Danger Danger

Without The Night - Winger

Both should have been released as singles IMO

After the mid-90's, this has to be the laziest band in the world on a creative level.

Lazy or they can’t write anything, let alone good. Izzy was a bigger influence on the band than anyone thought, I think.

windycitycane

Anyone bassist who plays with a pick has always sounded sub-standard in my opinion.

Agreed on Billy Sheehan. Great player, just don’t like his tone.

windycitycane

Or gotten so uncomfortable you considered stopping? Played outside today - 2 hours solo show. We have a heat advisory here in Chicago - musta been 105 index, very humid. Soaking wet after only setting up. Drank lots of water, had a fan, was under an umbrella - still felt woozy, couldn’t focus, etc. ...
