I guess it depends on where you were. In Mid-Michigan 1984 was some dogshit. Our government had sided with management over labor leaving the workers with little to no protection, and the plants were closing while goods were being imported from overseas and job were being sent abroad. By the time I ...

Same, almost same (1982) and same.

To be fair, this one was probably pretty easy to do. They're basically the same song. Yeah but.....did anyone else think to do it? And edit together with comedic flare? How many times have you heard a riff that's completely awesome, yet so simple you can teach someone who's never played guitar how ...

Fun vid. Eddie actually performs 'naturally', which isn't easy for most people to do. Wish the solo didn't 'ape' the Get the Funk Out' solo towards the end, unless it was an homage. Good stuff though.

McClintock always has the best mashups! This one is just perfect! To be fair, this one was probably pretty easy to do. They're basically the same song. Yeah but.....did anyone else think to do it?

Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary 1988 https://youtu.be/_GeZs3LBYdY?si=jEbyGhfg8z90jDcB JFC that “solo” during Stairway. You’d think they would have learnt something at the disaster Live Aid reunion, obviously not. The solo after Heartbreaker sounds like a shreds video! Holy shit! I didn't listen t...

I hate the "They should pack it up" bullshit. It's their fucking job. "Hey, stop trying to make money!!" I'll take it a step further; The songs are their 'kids'. You've heard it a million times. The bros wrote the songs. They rehearsed and perfected them. Then Scott goes and offs...

Aren't the girls notorious for playing a couple of Zep tunes in their live set? Like always? They've done it for years. I always thought it was kind of weird since they aren't really Zep clones :lol: Yeah they cover them, but as you mention, they're not a 'Zep clone'. Their biggest song before Alon...

Good read. Crazy interesting life he's lived. Total movie/bio material if we have a dramatic ending of some sort.

That said, am I the only one who has a hard time watching him play? His picking hand is so unorthodox. I suppose it proves the point that he was never into music to be or look cool.

Heart Yeah, every time I hear "Alone" or "All I wanna Do is Make Love to You" on the radio, I think; "Fucking Zep-clone bullshit ripoff artists!" Aren't the girls notorious for playing a couple of Zep tunes in their live set? Like always? They've done it for years. I a...

I'll give you my top 10 valued from Discogs, and I'll post the high price here, meaning this is an actual price somebody out there recently paid. I'm good with the ballpark of the high as opposed to Medium because I only really hang onto 'minty' records. Floyd - Dark Side - $295 Dark Side sold a BA...

Yup, Tattoos & Tequila is way better than I would have guessed it would be. He kinda nails all those covers. Most anyway.

They used 'vinyls' in their company statement. 'Vinyl' is already plural. You can say LPs, but not 'vinyls'. Come on, Golden Robot! Be better!

When he said that I thought he had to be talking about the BnB debut produced by Dieter Dierks which is fucking awesome. I'm not a fan of the production of Without Love from an audio perspective, but Fairbairn is awesome and did other killer records that sound amazing like the Loverboy debut & f...

First of all, dude is what......75-80? Looks great! Great stories.

Some of the comments looks like there are a few that think it's Steve singing lead.

I wonder what JBJ pays Phil X and is it (a lot) more than the bass player dude? Alec Jon Such is far easier to replace than Richie and actually adds a new element and spark, which makes me curious. I know they're actual 'bands members' now and not 'touring musicians', but still. They're not really ...

You say it like he just did it once. According to his best friend in KISS AND TELL he hocked rare guitars to go gambling in Vegas CONSTANTLY. All these ones, for a start. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRuVx7N9gASb5lMKfkBQ0HI5arpzPVffWUlNQ&usqp=CAU Always liked this photo,...

Explorer, Les Paul, stacks of Marshalls, great playing. What's not to love here?

When Mammoth WVH puts out “country” album this is what it will sound like Horrible singer Horrible bland guitar player Horrible “drumming” Horrible bass 8-Ball really could be worst band ever. They come from Stonebreed learning tree. That’s what happens when da breed influences someone 8-Ball reall...

Maybe.......just maybe.......this will be the Tattoo released as a single before we got A Different Kind of Truth. And if you hit back and say 'A Different Kind of Truth sucked too', save it because that record is awesome!

That said, I doubt this will resemble that scenario.

I'm not in the same stratosphere as Mike Campbell or George Harrison but I could play lead for probably 75% of T.P.s set and 95% of the Beatles set. (I could 'wedding band' the songs I can't play note for note)

How do bad lyrics make a song less good? I never understood this. Yes, there are some dumb lyrics out there. I give zero shits about it. I listen to the music and don't care much for the words. Most of the time I'm not even paying attention to them. It's rock music. This genre started with "1-...

What's with every link here being Facebook? I thought the only reason Facebook exists is so we can keep track of our parents. OK, I guess that checks out. Nevermind.

Facebook = not very rock & roll

Zombie Avatar Vince is fit as fuck! Good for him!
