Re: Y&T’s “In Rock We Trust” - my review

Contagious is perfect pop metal. Great riffs and dumb lyrics. But without the hooks. No good "pop" hooks on that pop metal album. Down For The Count had some. Disagree. Contagious Temptation Armed and Dangerous Rhythm or Not Eyes of a Stranger Don't know what your definition of a "ho...

They've also had 3 or 4 drummers since Affuso left (and I'm pretty sure he's played live with both, and doesn't seem opposed to a reunion).

Both sides deserve their current circumstances.

Don't remember ever hearing it on the radio, but it was songs like this that made them stand out. It was dark, different and just plain cool. That whole album was a massive step up from Warning, True, but there were much more interesting dark, different, and cool songs on this album that would have...

Re: Vibrato. Fan or not?

it depends if the person actually knows what they are doing.

For example, Belinda Carlisle does not, and it sounds like she is singing through a fan half the time. Same for Eddie Vedder on the song "Last Kiss".
