I guess my biggest surprise is the production. With Bob Rock producing it, I figured it was gonna sound like real studio sounding song. It's crazy how the guy behind the '94 Crue drum sound came up with the same, thin, sterile, processed drums on this new "song." The devolution of music p...

I recall this one being the most obvious giveaway. Sounded nothing like '70s Paul.

Some enjoyable moments of delusion in this interview. See if you can spot 'em.

Jon’s ego today and the past 35 years would never let him pay somebody to completely write a song for him. He can still write a song it’s just missing the guitar solo and Richie’s vocals …. Phil X says Jon wants the guitars low in the mix now. The co-writer for Runaway said he wrote most of the son...

"Turn around Adrenalize..."

I recall him reading viewer mail from a Kiss fan asking if there was a video for "Everytime I Look at You" (which MTV never bothered to play). Riki's response: "I don't know." Thanks, genius. I mean, you work at MTV. This show is on MTV. An intern couldn't get this question answ...

I already know what he's going to say before I click... The early stuff will be "we were kids trying to figure things out". He'll undersell his best albums (Slippery/NJ) and associate them with the "excess of the time." He'll overrate all the recent albums. His U2/Springsteen wa...

Do you think bands like Kiss or Crue could do a Vegas visual show? The Beatles Love was in operation for years. Maybe lighter bands translate better to the general public. Gene/Paul should make an investment and take a chance. What Vegas shows would you pay to see? 1. Kiss and Crue both did residen...

Great song. It was a hint of the '80s sound to come before the self-titled album was released.

They could've done well rerecording/re-releasing that one as a single in the late '80s/early '90s.

Kalodner's Folly. None of those records even went copper. He never had anything to do with CMC. My fault. That was Portrait. Similar results tho. The Portrait fiasco deserves its own thread. And probably its own documentary. I think Great White's "Rollin' Stoned" was the biggest "hit...

Sebastian is holding nothing back. Almost the same performance you'd get at an actual concert back then. No tracks, band can sing their own backing vocals. Nice. Appreciate the little moment of Faith No More at 44:38: https://youtu.be/IoQsfNoxOLA?si=soy0zjMeM5kgrrVz&t=2678 A slice of 1990/1991 ...

And what are they gonna do, an arena tour? Some half empty sheds? I've argued this a few times before, but a reunited Skid Row could do great business headlining a summer hair metal package tour - the kind Poison used to do. BUT... the time for that was ripe at least 10 years ago. And every year th...

Did the Ozzy deal ever show up on the MTV footage of the Moscow concert special? I ask because I don't remember that at all. This was on the flight heading to Moscow, full of drinking and drug use, for a concert to promote the opposite. So very behind the scenes. Sharon was one of at least two peop...

Just posted this in another thread, but seems to fit better here... So... Contract was up and "both agreed" not to renew due to question marks about his health? I could see that. It's weird to hear people on here talking about Skid Row like they're a current band, suggesting they "ge...
