Ride the Wind and Wont Forget You are two Poison songs I don't think I've ever let play all the way through. Pass.

Re: CHICK ROW era starts now!

The videos are excellent and its really amazing to hear her singing a set of world-class songs instead of the Nashville nucountry rejects her band writes.

Her joining the band doesn't make sense because as others have pointed out - there's not a ton of money in Skid Row regardless of the singer.

Re: Bach Calls Skid Row “pussies” from the Stage

I shit on Bach all the time here. He's an idiot and can't write songs. He's the reason he's not in Skid Row. But this is bullshit. Saying that doing what he does isn't for pussies, and to ask the guy who just left the band, isn't saying the guy is a pussy. Come on. He's saying his job is really hard...

Re: How did Bonham go gold?

Some good points but I'd add that baby boomers loomed large over the 80s - their record buying preferences are what pushed AOR and adult contemporary stuff to the top of the charts.... people in their late 20s all the way up to early 40s. Baby boomers fucking loved Led Zeppelin, so when the Zeppelin...

Re: Was 1994-1995 Danzig’s peak

"Goth Metal Elvis" was going to get tired sooner or later. Rick Rubin losing interest had an impact, Danzig having shot his load creatively had an impact, surely band members leaving had an impact too.

A compilation of the best from the first three albums is all you need.

John Sykes's album release was scrapped due to back-and-forth with them.

I assumed it was Sykes being a pain in the ass, but given these other issues there was probably some truth to it.

I'm glad she is admitting that her behavior after Ed died was batshit fucking insane.

Ed had a wife, and her name wasn't Valerie. Val was married to another man.

This is because she's met someone new, now. So it's back to telling us what a piece of shit Ed was. She really is mentally unwell.
