Back around 88 or so was when they went to $20. That's when I was out. Switched to bootlegs.

Right, or he wouldn't remember it.

Well that would be too easy. I liked Chucks list as I recall. He hates Hagar, tfs.

Jake is great on this album. It needs more low end, but otherwise the songs are great. "Secret Loser" could've been a single. I remember "Thank God For The Bomb" being the worst song on the album. Agree it's pretty dumb but it was 1986, heh. That dive bomb intro and solo save it...

He probably got further on less talent than anyone in rock'n'roll. The 5 albums before Standing Hampton didn't go copper, Geffen probably dropped an 8-ball off with the SH promos. It's fitting that he's BFFs with Sauce because they're both more lucky than good.

Rolling Stones ticket sales have pretty much stalled out completely. So many fans from the fan communities have died the past few years. They have finally outlived their fan base. Might be the best chance for last minute bargains since they were doing 100 show stadium tours. I love the Stones, but ...

And isn't Shot in the Dark in open B? Or is that Bark?

Yep. He's about half a "greatest hits artist" at best.

Another aging 40-yo bottle blonde struggling for importance on Instagram... ho hum yawn.

You Are In My System is good too. Robert Palmer's cover is even better.

You have caca in your ears, Bark is incroyable!

Bark is like No More Tears - one great song surrounded by a bunch of filler.

Or how he forced out a longtime member of his dad's band?

It was a great revival.

Cherone in VH (yes im sure I'm the only one, but I've always suspected another album with him in the band could've been really good). They made the mistake of recording an album without touring first. VH3 and the subsequent Tour …Eddie was absolutely on fire ….VH3 has some of Eddie’s finest guitar ...

It's the touring band from Japan. Close'nuff.

Marriott was known to drink a little.

Gotta like how they slipped TGAH in there.

He did Magnum P.I. too.

Like who? VH was the biggest band in America at the time... who else was going to pay him the same amount of money to not write songs and ride the low E string?

Well, 2 of their members are already gone.

Eh. He likes disco.

This is all totally plausible, and explains why the album was such a steaming turd.

It's more that what he did wasn't as unique or as special as mythologized. The Doors were on the way to breaking up... his untimely death preserved their legacy.

Surprised that Gary Moore got so many votes. There's hope for this place after all.

I crashed my Dad's car while listening to 'Peace Frog' and driving way too fast when I was just a wee lad. Love that song!! Was there blood up to your ankles? Ah man, how can you like a song you wrecked a vehicle to? When I was a junior in high school I had the single worst night in my life. The gi...
