Just re-read the thread title/post and I wouldn’t necessarily say “better” than the AC/DC run, but still great. Powerage!

Scorps….

Lovedrive
Animal Magnetism
Blackout
Love At First Sting

Blackout tho is best IMO.

We all know and beat up on I Was Made For Loving You, but what others dabbled in four-on-the-floor disco beats?

I’ll start:

Miss You - Rolling Sones
Renegade - Styx
Girl’s Got Rhythm - AC/DC
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
*edit*
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Disco Strangler - Eagles

Seconded. I learned it a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe how little there was to it but it works.

I thought the quality of his lyrics and melodies took a nosedive in VH compared to his solo/Montrose stuff, I suspect because he thought he had to compete with Roth’s legacy and be more “raunchy”, at least on the uptempo songs. “Heavy Metal” and “One Way to Rock” capture the spirit of an 80s concert...

Andy Taylor/Duran Duran

DD gets a lot of love/respect on this board. So what’s your go-to DD tune, and keeps bringing you back? I’ll start - Is There Something I Should Know. Strong opening, great guitar work by Andy on verse, killer bass work on the outro from John, and just the right amount of synth. Good video too - the...

The book “KISS and Sell” by one of their business managers from that time says the issue was bad tax shelters, too much personal spending, and huge losses from the Dynasty tour.

[You believed all the bullshit they fed you or you were too high or too young to remember. The 80s was very political. You must be too young to remember the PMRC Hearings. Ozzy getting sued, Priest getting sued by shitty assed psycho parents over their lyrics. KISS, who were not that popular at the ...

It is Suck On This and it is not even close.

Duran Duran's Ordinary World. Gets me every time...

I met Theo in 1990. He was easily the nicest and most approachable of the Bungle boys, but was also kind of the grungiest and definitely the odd man out. Sort of the Pigpen of the group. Back then he would juggle during guitar solos. That he didn't juggle very well was part of the charm. I was also ...

When I've bought or sold a Fender without a case I've asked about shipping with the neck off. Saves big $$$. Have also flown guitars home that way, packed in a suitcase so don't have to pay for an extra bag/box.

Dr.Zaius? Would post a pic but I don't know how.

Winner

Early on, Zakk did look a lot like Randy. And Gilby kinda had a Izzy vibe, but that's more a stretch.

Probably wasn't intentional on his part, but maybe WAS intentional on the part of the band, but Ritchie Faulkner in Priest did look like a young ready to go K.K.

Dang, beat me to it.

Drunk

Gosh, Jeez, No ... let me fuckin' dream mother fucker...

Obviously realtor staged furniture. I wonder what it looked like when Billy lived there?

I got a witchcraft book from the library in 1982 so I could figure out the notes in Diary of a Madman and Speak of the Devil. They were sort of accurate. Sort of.

It was always a drunken sing-a-long when Diver Down was on the boom box at parties, which it always was.

Tesla ripped off themselves from Song & Emotion to Mamas Fool. So did Van Halen. Source of Infection is a complete rip off of Hot for Teacher...but that is not the point of this thread Reminds me ... Hagar said Cabo Wabo ripped Montrose's Make it Last (the latter being the infintly better song)...

Yep, I forgot about that. Makes HTH a twofer.

Not the usual Zeppelin stealing old blues songs or the lawsuit over Stairway to Heaven. I mean genuine admissions. I can think of three offhand: Paul Stanley said "I Stole Your Love" ripped off Deep Purple's "Burn" and the outro to "Hotter Than Hell" ripped off "Ir...

I knew a guy that knew a chick that apparently used to tell everyone who would listen that she once slept with Ron Keel.

The Right to Rock was an OK song.

If I hadn't Googled it just now, I wouldn't have known Gene produced them.

So no.

Link Wray. Even his name was kinda metal.

I like this one. First time I ever heard of him.

Nothing really against either, but didn't Tommy, post Black N' Blue, start out as Gene's assistant working on the KISStory book and doing all manner of office work and running errands and stuff like that? And he had to tutor Ace and Peter on their parts for the reunion tour? Eric has to my knowledge...
