What? You could be recognized as the greatest band in the world, and also be underrated. That logic reminds me if how much of a headache it is so say someone is overrated, because everybody says "ZOMG U THINK THEY SUCK? THEY'RE GREAT". You can be great and also be either underrated or ove...

Aren't half of them dead?

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 ...

The year Van Halen added keyboards. That would be 1980, sir. "And the Cradle will Rock" had Eddie playing a Wurlitzer piano through his Marshalls. Yeah yeah yeah, and Sunday Afternoon and Dancin' in the Street... but Jump was the 1st time that the melody was on a keyboard, and there were ...

I remember I was like WTF when I 1st heard Jump, then I heard the rest of the album and was like whoa. They were on top of the world. Who knew that it was going to be the end of an era.

Yeah it's been discussed that EEAS was the 1st appearance of a frontispiece for DD. Weirdly, he switched to a wigdana for Skyscraper, then the unholy pony for ALAE.

I haven't bought a concert t-shirt in almost 40 years. I knew when I was 14 the t-shirts where grossly overpriced. (Nowadays I understand the $50 t-shirt is what's keeping them on the road for all but the big acts, but I still don't buy them because I don't wear band t-shirts because I am not 14.) ...

Lol. I memba that. RS was all in on Van Hagar from the jump. Roth must've done something to piss someone off there.

\The rehearsals were cut short after Thompson was hurt in a car crash, and that was that. "Hey, the guy who isnt part of the band and no one cares about cant do the 'reunion'!" "Oh, well that means it's off, then, doesnt it. You know our rules. We lose a drummer, we dont continue.&qu...

I thought it was good, maybe a bit too long - There's some unnecessary stuff in there. I did find it fascinating that his first band was more of a blue-eyed soul cover band - No Hard Rock roots at all. He did not come up in Heavy Metal, but rather it basically came to him in that particular 80's MT...

The same 500 or so that I had when I moved into my house 18 years ago, and they're still in the garage in boxes.

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? And edit together with comedic flare? How many times have you heard a riff that's completely awesome, ...

By far the most stupid bandname in music history. I never could get past the name. Songs are meh, although they are considered to be the second coming of the Beatles by some on here. Cinderella has to be the worst name ever. Nailed it. WTF were they thinking? The label should have asked them to cha...

Maybe the reason that Asian women won't date you is because you call them "Orientals".

OMG I'll be damned if that doesn't sound like the beginning of Rocket Queen...

According to Wikipedia it was Enough Z'Nuff. That site is only correct about 70 percent of the time though.

70 percent, lol.

70 percent of the time it's right every time.

It was ok 40 years ago.

Their emergence could be the mile marker where the system broke down. Whatever exec signed those day-glo fairies should've been shot.

He produced a lot of records that nobody listened to, drove Blowbrains to suicide, and spent most of the last 20 years crying about how the old studio system was dead. Sounds like he was a closet racist as well. Seems like a swell fella.

made every heavy metal record sound as if the amps were placed in cardboard boxes? He did it with Motley, with Twisted Sister and with Dokken. Maybe he was fine producing poppier acts, but he sucked ass at producing heavy metal records. Lol. None of those bands were the least bit metal. He was a po...

Definitely after 1978, dingis.

PS - Van Halen is NOT a hair band. C'mon Bono, gimme a break... That's highly debatable, given some of the pictures that are out there. And the fact that they've influenced just about every hair band out there. And when you look at the playlist of any glam/hair metal event, there's always a few VH ...

Yeah the NFL is rapidly approaching that point. People are eventually going to chuck it in and realize that it's not worth paying for 10 different services to see all your favorite team's games.
