Re: Phil Rudd's Solo Album/Drummers Making Solo Albums

Easy: Ringo. Roger Taylor had some minor hits I think. Don't think I own too many drummer solo albums. I have a Carmine Appice solo album. It's not bad, some great playing on it and decent tunes. Is Bonham a solo band? I can't really think of any cases where the drummer went solo and proceeded to wr...

Re: Dangerous Toys at The Granada Theater in Dallas, TX. 5/17/24

Pretty amazing McMaster can still do those scream style vocals after all these years. Why didn't these guys ever put out any more albums? He touched upon this recently in a podcast. Long story short he said, why make an album if nobody is going to hear it. That didn't stop him from making Broken Te...

Yup. A dud that keeps this record from being perfect. Unfortunately later records would start having plenty of Social Diseases.

Re: RIP Robin George

The album he did with Hughes was shelved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_EsG5xnHKM this has actually been released and reissued a couple of times, I think. Yes, bootlegs of it existed since the 90s and eventually Krescendo Records put it out in 2008. I don't think Glenn Hughes ever officially com...

Re: How did Bonham go gold?

those two albums were good. I even liked the third, which they released under the band name Motherland. I'm a Bonham fan. I found that Motherland album dirt cheap in a used record store about 15 years ago. It's a solid attempt at going grunge. Rumor is a great song. Before Bonham, Jason was in Virg...

Re: Enuff z Nuff…or however they write it

I never got this board's obsession with this band. While I enjoy some of their songs, some people treat them as if they are The Beatles of glam. Only album I listened to in its entirety is Animals with Human Intelligence and I didn't think it was all that amazing.

I mean, we never talk about them. Hardly anyone ever brings them up. While I enjoy that first album, I've never seen anyone call himself a Bonham fan. How in the hell did they ever sell 500,000 copies?

Been digging Kingdom Come lately. First album is a classic but plenty of good stuff after that as well. Bad Image is a really good album as well.

Honorable mention goes to Zebra.

Why is it that Tom Werman...

made every heavy metal record sound as if the amps were placed in cardboard boxes? He did it with Motley, with Twisted Sister and with Dokken. Maybe he was fine producing poppier acts, but he sucked ass at producing heavy metal records.

Pretty average band. Without Love has two great songs. Not coincidentally, they were co-written by Jim Vallance. The rest ranges from good to pure filler.
