No breakthrough song - Autograph had a similar look and Foreigner Jr sound, but they had “Turn Up The Radio.”

Yeah, Americans are fat as fuck for no reason at all.

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.

Jeans, cowboy boots, leather jacket. In the 110 degree Phoenix sun.

Personally, Gilby Clark owning a guitar would decrease its value in my eyes. Whatever it is he does... I don't want any of that rubbing off on me.

John 5 sounds like absolute shit.

great tune but there must be a better performance than jon following the telestrator for the whole song. I found that clip boring. I haven't seen them since the Keep the Faith tour, but the first thing I noticed was the lack of motion on the stage and the "sanitized" sound before I bailed...

LOL yeah, that's not an effect or delay - the vocals aren't live. He barely opens his mouth for half a second and a long note with vibrato on it comes out? Come on.

Also... why in God's name would they dust off and pretend to play that piece of shit song?

Long time coming.... they've been a second-rate guitar center for 20 years.

It’s not unlistenable, but it’s not very good. Kind of a textbook example of a guy who leaves/is fired from a successful band and then makes a new band modeled after the old band to a T. But the chemistry that makes bands successful is a special thing. You can’t just do it all over again. See also: ...

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.

I'm a huge fan but I've never listened to "50" and never will. 50 goddamn songs? That was my first thought too but I slowly shifted through them and there are some great songs on there. If you like his more pop/r&b flavored stuff, you should definitely listen to More Than This and Whe...

Solid tune. I bought "Slow" back in the early 2000s and have been a fan ever since. His music is just amazing, but he has a lot of similarities to Prince and one of them is that he writes too many goddamn songs. When you play all the instruments, write all the songs, sing, and produce all ...

I wouldn't have minded it. A one-guitar situation can be very cool - sounding less produced and perfect wouldn't be the worst thing in this era of piped in guitars and backing tracks. I doubt this was a cost saving measure because I doubt they're paying Sneap all that much. If no KK, I'd have rather...

Lightning Strikes.

Has "Shadows of War" and "Let it Go." Worth the price of admission alone.

Akira is great of course, but the rhythm section is insane.

Some people can't get by the accent, which I get, but if it doesn't bother you, it's some of the very best 80s metal.

good - was a crime a hack player like Ace ever owned a guitar that nice.

I love New Tattoo. Something like that would be great compared to this. I am tried of all this cut-paste protools “modern rock” bullshit. Micks new album and this both sound like Sixx AM, which sounds like a bad 2006ish Papa Roach imitation. Why would I want to any of that shit when I could just lis...

When Nikki said this was going to be “old school vs new school” I knew we were in trouble, because rocks been dead at least 15 years now. And of course “new school” to him turned out to be the same dogshit Papa a roach wannabe stuff he’s been doing since the early 2000s. Crue has the same problem Oz...

99% of bands only have a couple good albums because those albums were made when they had no kids, no serious relationships, were probably either living at home or in a band house, and all they did was work on the music. Day and night. 3-4 rehearsals a week. No distractions outside of partying later ...

Had no clue he was ever out.

Great song. Brings back a lot of memories.

Meshell Ndgeocello put a version of it out a few years ago that I listen to all the time: https://youtu.be/uwY_BSiocm0?si=bemVpOtxYasIy4R-

He's finally stopped telling his band/producers "make me some music that sounds like Papa Roach" and started telling them "make me some music that sounds like Skid Row"

Tattoo is great - the verses and solo are as good as any Van Halen. The chorus is jarring at first because Mikey is sorely missed throughout AKOT, but it grew on me. Might be my favorite 80s band song released post-Nirvana. Without You.... couldn't tell you what it sounds like with a gun to my head....

It sounds half-finished at best. Give a listen to Lightning Strikes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdBhNRVGwU&list=PLBzBwYhHpqLK1cOo9gQ0hDVhE2CwQCThy&index=6 Then listen to some other metal recorded in 85/released in 86. Loudness - Shadows of War - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeHDU2itN...

This is exactly what Kiss sounds like to adults.

The bands will be dead, but the fans will be dead too.... so no one will be around to complain.

Henley is a piece of shit.

Same reason Don Felder learned to somewhat sing the Eagles tunes even though he's not a singer.

This shows you how angry and miserable he is... even stating he won't approve any music he co-wrote as well. In short... the other members could have equal co-writes on ALL of the music, but since he was involved, regardless of to what extent, he wants to shut everyone else down. Essentially saying...
