Greg Smith, who played in bands we discuss here, is the current bass player in the Guess Who. He has some great Sludge on his FB page, calling out Burton. I see a lot of self-serving nonsense on that page. This guy Greg is a hired hand who's collecting a check, nothing more. While I feel for him th...

What took him so long?

My father managed a night club - he was booking the fake Guess Who even back in the 80s.

What the fuck is going on with his hair.

That was fucking awesome. The other song they have up, "Stompin Nachos" has some nasty riffing as well.

That was fucking horrifying.

Not BulletBoys by any stretch.

THIS is Bulletboys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgvAGbzbSmc

No, it's Nikki's attempt to be "Scars" era Papa Roach - corporate radio rock with some buzz words lifted from emo he saw in the internet somewhere.

Its crazy - I had a lot of sex in the 80s, but somehow never raped or sexually assaulted anyone.

I must not have got the memo.

Yep… I mainly listen to Motown, Rnb 60s-80s, old country, Some folky English stuff like Fairport Convention, etc etc. I still like a lot of the 70s and 80s rock I liked when I was younger, but couldn’t give two shits about what those bands are doing now. I bought and enjoyed all of the albums Lynch ...

Looks like his kids on bass and guitar.... they all have the same nose.

A band's new CD = $10 if its a local kids just starting out. I'll play it once and throw it away. Catalog releases on CD = $0 (adding my own here) - Cassette - $20-$25. Lot of acts are selling cassettes these days and it's what I'll always buy. A band's Vinyl LP = $0 A Vinyl, with Color options and...

Phil has some pretty standard stage banter every night but also plenty of off the cuff observations and quips. I don’t think anyone disputes he’s one of the greats. I saw Phil's second show as "Phil Anselmo & The Illegals" in Tulsa. The venue is 2k capacity but for whatever reason the...

My sister in law had a pitbull she'd raised since it was a puppy. It was her baby, had it for years. Eventually they got a couple more dogs and the pitbill loved em - gently played with them as puppies. Everything was fine for a couple years. One day they were all the back yard and out of nowhere th...

If Anthrax really wanted/needed to get out and earn while Charlie did Pantera, I could see them doing a fill in for Charlie the way Exodus did when Holt was in Slayer - they've toured without Charlie before. I think Frank is sitting out these dates for the opposite reason - outside of these shows, A...

I know I'm in the minority here but I don't like the EEAS band. Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai suck ass. Dave essentially trying to copy the formula of the coolest, sexiest band on the planet and trying to do it with a bunch of MIT dorks was incredibly misguided. The only real success Roth had outside ...

That 12-string Hammer bass is a little unnecessary. Sounds great though.

Also, here's the track that sounds like Dave Mustaine comissioned him to write a song. It's even named "Countdown to the Revolution": https://youtu.be/uqCeXJsJorw?si=0mJS68S1u9z_WBR9 It has by far the most interesting solo on the album and not only does the solo section riff scream Megade...

A reunion with Bach is not PHYSICALLY possible. It isn't possible for Bach to walk into a room and be told " Hey, Skid Row is our band and this is how it's gonna be. Here's the dates, here's the setlist " and not have a complete meltdown. It isn't possible for Bach to sit in an interview a...

I have The Godfather, Godfather 2 and Casino each in thoses things where they split the movie onto two VHS tapes to preserve the quality.

I'm all set.

At this point, they have to go back to Bach. Whatever credit they just built up with their fan base just went out the window. yep, but that wont happen Nope. They’ll end Skid Row and call it quits before they ever reconcile with Bach. They have their pride and dignity and Bach has burned way too ma...

Don't use drugs, haven't in decades, but it does freak me out. It feels like we're entering a new low in terms of addiction. After doctors started going to jail for writing excessive pain pill scripts, it looked like things would get better.... but with fentanyl out there they got ever worse.

It does seem like a very disingenuous and misleading claim on the ad.

He's literally the other voice of Ratt.

Michael Hotts Ghost wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:02 pm But let's be real... he pretty much sucks as a lead vocalist.

Have you heard Stephen Pearcy sing?

How is Juan "The Other Voice OF Ratt " ? I can't recall a single song he sang. Will he be vocalist for these shows ? Juan sang the high harmonies in Ratt - the same way Michael Anthony does in Van Halen. Listen to the chorus of "Nobody Rides", "Lay it Down", "Lovi...

Iron Maiden are just as depressingly boring as U2.

As for Greg's claims: I don't think you can get definitively prove anything outside of the accepted timeline. Don is so full of shit these days that I think his memory has been thoroughly distorted by the lies he tells himself. I think the only thing you could do here is get on Instagram and ask Geo...

Bob Rock said himself Nikki told him he thought he had been ghosted over by session players. Dr Feelgood was where he made Nikki actually put in the work and record each piece in sections until it was perfect. Nikki is a famously bad bassist, specifically with meter issues - replacing people that we...

Tony said in an interview that Eddie Van Halen came in to write a song that ended up being Evil Eye from Cross Purposes. Tony says he has the recordings from the session. https://www.vhnd.com/2022/07/22/tony-martin-on-eddies-93-recorded-writing-sessions-rehearsals-with-black-sabbath-ive-got-all-of-...

Back in the 80s you went to the hottest clubs in town on a Saturday night, you heard bands doing 100% cover sets. And it was fucking great. I don't know who this guy is. He doesn't matter. In fact I don't really get his point - kids today don't want to hear rock music of any kind of a cruise, they w...

I think selling his share of the catalogue put him back on steady ground, financially.

I don’t think this thing will be a losing venture… he won’t be raking in the cash but he can definitely do okay with it.
