Re: The new Billie Eilish is kinda awesome

The new song 'Lunch' is catchy, and repetitive enough to get stuck in your head.
According to the youtube comments "You need a seat? I'll volunteer" is god tier writing. People love a good girl on girl sex song I guess.

Took me awhile to get into this song back in the day but now it's probably my favorite from the album. It's pretty epic (10 minutes) and yeah Richie's guitar work is pretty great on it.

Re: CHICK ROW era starts now!

She looks better than she has in some time. She was rocking some short wanna be Joan Jett hair for awhile and it looked awful.
I don't know, she sounds fine to me, she's always kind of just screamed everything, nothing new here. Would have been a fun show to attend.

Re: How many CD’s do you still own?

About 100. I've bought more cd's over the years as vinyl prices started to skyrocket, especially on hair metal. Sorry, just not going to pay $150-200 for a copy of Vain No Respect on vinyl when I can buy the CD for $10.

Re: Sebastian Bach’s “Child Within The Man” - my review

Gave it a spin today. It's pretty decent but the lyrics are really weak at times. His voice sounds great, prob studio trickery/auto tune. Songs really don't breathe, he really packs vocals into every empty space... not a fan of that. Didn't look up who is playing guitar but the dude is excellent. Al...

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.

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 ...
