Re: How are your teeth?

All good here. Cleanings 2x a year, floss daily. I did have to do Invisalign to fix some crowding years ago and once you spent all that money and time you will always maintain your dental health.
It sucks having to sleep with a retainer for life but it's better than undoing all the work.

Re: The most valuable vinyl you own

I had the 2014 Beatles Mono Vinyl box but sold it recently for a decent amount of money. I have a handful that are going for triple digits according to Discogs last sold amounts. The first Crosses (Chino of Deftones) album, and an original pressing of Manson's Mechanical Animals are probably my most...

Re: This Bovine Joni doc is great!

I find it refreshing to know that while we are all shitting on the 2022 clips, Jon was also aware of his voice failing him behind the scenes. All the vocal coaching, weird laser machines, throat massages etc. even with his wife commenting backstage that one of the last show's 'wasn't great'. I give ...

Re: Rare live bootleg of my band - did we kick ass?

Weird, it's as if one or two of you find the performance lacking. I asked if it kicked ass. If I was being objective, I'd I say the performance is high energy, the band is tight and looks cool, my voice is strong though admittedly pitchy (ever hear of David Lee Roth?), the audience response is enth...

Re: Skid Row Rehearsal Video from 1991

I gained a lot of respect for Skid Row because of Slave To The Grind. Out of all the bands at that time they could have cashed in HUGE if they put out a pop-metal album with wimpy ballads. Instead they put out ... a pop punk album with THREE power ballad singles. That's 90s Aerosmith and Scorpions ...

Re: How "at capacity" do venues need to be at to make $$$?

Last week I saw Extreme and Living Colour play in a really nice larger sized club - it probably held 1100 minimum and I’d say that there was maybe 500 there at best and that’s being generous. I’d assume that both bands have a decent guarantee so I’d also have guessed the promoter took a huge hit. T...

Agreed! It's a great listen front to back. Probably my favorite record from them, with Candy O close behind.
First record is great but all those songs are kind of played out.
