2. I needed more of an explanation for why Madonna wasn't there. Some executive glossed over it, saying it was between her or Cyndi Lauper, which doesn't make sense. I know they were compared to each a lot around that time, but wouldn't you want both? I could get it if she just wasn't around. But t...

Ace literally says in the interview I posted above that Brown would write a lead that sounded like him (Ace), and then Ace would come in and "double or duplicate it".

He's not even coming up with his own shitty pentatonic solos at this point.

Another one - two Irishmen living in Florida. Hit up a guy to score some cocaine. Found dead - cocaine was cut with fentanyl.

It's an opioid. Like Heroine. 500x more powerful than heroine. Basically a nearly microscopic amount of it will get you fucked out of your mind. The problem is that because smaller amounts = way cheaper and easier to produce, illegal drug manufacturers are making counterfeit-pain pills and even cutt...

I think Ace probably went to Steve Browns apartment or house and played 10 to 20 riffs and homey recorded them on his iPhone. Then, Steve took those ideas and wrote full songs around the ideas. He probably came back a month or so later or emailed the tracks to Ace to check out. Then Ace and Lara wr...

Sideshow Bob on bass. Bushman I spent a couple of yrs on the road with him. Idiot savant. Perfect pitch Leaves brown stained tighty whities laying around hotel room. Invented his own language. Played with Days Of The New and Tommy Tutone. Good guy. Overdosed about 2 yrs ago. Drugs suck. Sorry to he...

It doesn't matter what pickup he puts in his guitar with that fucking locking Floyd on it. I have a real love/mostly hate for those things. They just make the tone thinner and weird. And forget about doing double stops accurately with a floating vibrato, unless you're Satch. I know this thread is a...

Shot In The Dark was written by Phil Soussan’s old band not just him and he failed to mention that. So there was legal shit that went down after it became a hit, the other guys who wrote it wanted their cut. Oh, right. And as we all know Sharon's a greedy c*nt who would rather let the album die tha...

Bach actually confirmed Bolan's claim with that statement.

The first Ratt show without Warren or Carlos after the Blotz lawsuit. It was in Kansas. That guy with the Hello Kitty guitar was playing lead. Great show. QR opened. Place was packed. Crowd loved it. Some guys on here that were mad about the new lineup tried to tell me that the show was poorly atten...

One of those K-Tel compilation LPs with children's songs.

I called this in the other thread: Kerry was in for a rude awakening trying to take a solo project on the road. No way he'd keep all those talented guys on the road together paying them Kerry King Band wages. Occasional Slayer-sized cash infusions will help. Just read this in the blabbermouth commen...

It's the same thing as going to see Bumblefoot or whatever - a guy playing guitar exercises disguised as songs.

You like the idea of that or you don't. I'd rather be shot.

Interesting... never heard any of Gillans solo stuff.

Also... you didn't see a lot of guys with those pickup covers on their basses in the early 80s.

Bull-Fucking-Shit. McCartney's Beatle played bass is more important than any Jamerson played bass ever...period!!! Yeah, McCartny could say Jamerson was a huge influence on him. But it still doesn't put Jamerson on the same level of Paul McCartney. Jamerson created the way the bass guitar is used i...

Fans were pretty happy when Solinger got the boot from Skid Row.

It turned out to not be a good thing. Johnny was cool - Harnell and ZP was fucking lame.

I know King has established his name as a brand of its own pretty well over the years, but I can’t see him being able to take this lineup on tour and pay everyone enough to keep them happy without calling it “Slayer”.

Time will tell.

Every year this thing gets more and more awkward.

Zero.

Yeah, it was awesome seeing the real thing.

Shame they couldn't all get on the same page. But that's been the problem since they beginning.

Newsted, though he’ll never admit it.

Heard a boxing coach on a podcast say something to the effect of “When you quit, you think that’s the escape. But often times it’s the opposite - that’s the life sentence to a prison called regret”

It stretches the definition of rock, but "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals went to #1 in 2022. They're described as a "British indie rock band" by Wikipedia. just listened. I'm willing to bend pretty far to what young people doing what they want with music, but this is flat out pop ...

You know what was so great about these guys? That era in the early 2000s there was NO 80's nostalgia yet. No 80's nights. Almost no hairmetal coverbands. Velvet Revolver came out, frankly, like a big dick swingin' rock n roll band. And we hadn't seen that in a long time. There was a little punk, a l...

My rating - why would you listen to that when "Shake Your Moneymaker" is the same thing but with great songs?

Two of the three singles charted. Cinderella, even at their LCW height struggled to crack the top ten singles chart. The highest career single, Don’t Know What You Got only reached was #12. Night Songs hit #3 Long Cold Winter #10 Heartbreak Station #19. One single that hit the top 40, and barely (#...

I don't know why this is hard to grasp. The argument on page 4 is the same as the argument on page 1... Cinderella had a lukewarm album. Their change in style wasn't a bad move (and they got some critical acclaim at the time), but none of the singles caught on. So they were still stuck trying to sh...

Are they not calling this Slayer just so they don't have to pay Tom a cut? Because this is Slayer. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty close. Kerry said in the interview he hasn't talked to Tom in 5 years, so I can imagine the last thing he wanted to do was deal with all the business BS. This way he can go o...

Because this is Slayer.

I get Roth not liking Tokyo Dome, even though it still gets played on the Boneyard pretty regularly, but I don't understand not liking A Different Kind of Truth. Clearly, he did all the artwork, he did all the backstage videos that are on the deluxe edition, and those are HIS songs. Just seems like...
