Amazing singer for sure. Dude never gets any mention in greatest rock singer lists.

Since everyone mentions Tribute, I'm gonna throw in Speak of the Devil. The amount of energy on that album is amazing. Seems as if Ozzy snorted a few bags of coke.

The older I get, the more I dig this album. It's not as good as Diary, but almost on par with Blizzard. Jake E. Lee shines all over this album. Dude was leagues ahead of Zakk. Ozzy's vocal melodies are very catchy. Maybe one or two duds but a whole lot better than the albums that came after. Yes, ev...

There was always something very generic about his music ... but he was the best of the generic rockers!

I've long given up on most of these bands. At this point some unreleased tracks from back in the day would probably be better than anything most of these bands can come up with nowadays.

Best Cherone song wins out on one of the weaker cuts on ADKOT.

I always considered him to be very average. I can't think of any solo that stands out, though there are a few cool riffs (The House Is Rockin').

Studio project by Mel Galley's brother Tom. They had some amazing musicians on those albums. Glenn Hughes handled the vocals on the first album. Second one had a bunch of guest singers like Ray Gillen, John Wetton. Third album was pretty much 21 Guns with a different singer. No really brilliant albu...

Supposedly he's working on one. Last record had a bunch of good songs so I'd be excited to hear new stuff. If it means autotuning the shit out of it to get a decent vocal out of him, so be it.

As many said, hard to get into new acts... funny enough its easier to enjoy non-metal newbies these days. Anyway, the trick is to discover or re-discover older bands... For the past 5 years or so I've been digging' into the discographies of bands I had quite a superficial knowledge of (maybe owning...

I have done very little music listening over the past months. Plenty of records out there I haven't heard yet, but I feel like it's all the same. I've tried exploring other genres but that didn't last too long.

I scrolled through the catalogue ... that is a pretty underwhelming list. But Accident of Birth kicks ass.

Decent song. If I didn't know who was playing guitar I'd think it was Zakk.

I'm going through his discography and I wasn't aware he wrote for so many pop artists. He was hardly limited to rock. He had a hand in most of the songs on the Giant debut. I really love that album so he has my respect for that. Anyway, I'll be giving this a spin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=app...

The peak of hair metal gloss. It was their Crazy Nights. (And Crazy World was their Hot in the Shade. A whole lot of meh with a big hit power ballad to save it.) Crazy World was even worse than SA. I got off the train there. I just couldn't see eye to eye with the band anymore. Wiki states the foll...

This is such a great record. Never got the hate for it. Some excellent deep cuts like Every Minute Everyday, Media Overkill and Walking on the Edge.

Only thing I remember seeing her in is American Beauty and The Hole.

4 good albums and a whole bunch of turds. Great legacy.

What's up with him not playing on a lot of WASP albums? He had a long tenure in the band, but Blackie always seemed to go back to Frankie Banali for recording. Couldn't Stet cut it in the studio or what?

In memoriam, I always loved this clip of him from his brief and forgotten stint in Dio. He played the SHIT out of this song, to the point where I almost wonder if Dio was getting annoyed with him overplaying, but man, his pocket is enormous and some of the fills are just phenomenal... https://www.y...

Because Jani was a miserable drunk and addict chasing trends in hopes the masses would still accept him as hair metal’s John Lennon. Sadly this has some truth to it. I thought the classic 3 Warrant albums were natural progressions. Dog Eat Dog was an obvious attempt to be more mature but it still s...

He had his problems, but in his prime he was a great drummer. He played his ass of on Ultraphobic. RIP.

Jason Bieler has always come across like a dick....... "The Lizard" has a some really good stuff on it, but the album is brought down by the instrumentals and joke songs. Band probably would have done better if they came out a year later and were lumped in with the "Grunge scene"...

Love the Jizz. My band opened for Love-Hate on the Blackout tour in a small club. Had beers in their dressing room, despite being 19. Club owner flipped his shit and Jizz told him that he'd take care of it. We continued drinking. Even then you could tell he had more on the ball than most dudes in r...

That garbage Don't Damn Me has been sharing on this board.

What do you guys think of this song? Sounds nothing like their early albums, but I absolutely love this one. One of the highlights on the Top Gun soundtrack.
