Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.

I love Cheap Trick's first four albums. All Shook Up (5th album) had some good stuff on it too. I own all of their records. I have seen Cheap Trick live many times. I consider myself to be a fan. As far as professional guitar players go, Rick is pretty bad. He was better when he was younger. But now...

Re: Skid Repugnance

Sebitchin has hit the wall hard. Fat, ugly, terrible personality and his voice is grating. Nasally and whiny. If I was Snake, Rachel or Scotti, I would rather stick my hand in a meat grinder than work with this guy again.

Re: GREAT WASTE ... Jadk Russell's Great White last nite in Texas = WTF

Jack was once a great front man and singer. Now he is incoherent and physically fragile. What a testament to being a "Wasted Rock Ranger". He has the same vacant look Biden has half the time. What a time to be alive. Jack looks like Eric the Midget now.

Bach is an insufferable man child. To make matters worse, he is fat, ugly and doesn't sing that well anymore. Skid Row doesn't want to deal with that. Life is too short to willingly place yourself into toxic situations. I doubt the money difference between a Bach fronted Skid Row and some random sin...

Re: Who was your 1st?

My first album was Partridge Family "Sound Magazine". I was 9 at the time. Then I was able to get "The Partridge Family Album" and "Up to Date." There are some really good 70's soft rock / pop songs on those Partridge albums. I still listen to them occasionally. Later I...

Re: Do KISS feel inferior as Musicians?

I don't believe anyone in KISS even think about it. But if they do, they probably think very highly of themselves. After their long and lucrative career, I can't see them being bummed out they weren't in Steely Dan. People talk about superior musicianship or who is better. To me it comes down to win...

Re: Joe Rogan's Spotify Deal Renewal Worth Up to $250M, Podcast Will No Longer Be Exclusive to the Platform

Rogan is fantastic. I don't have the time or inclination to listen to anyone's podcast. But what I have heard of Rogan has been very entertaining and at times enlightening. I imagine he is very polarizing since he isn't 100% in one corner politically.

Re: Does MEGADETH deserve to be in the RNRHOF?

When looking at the roster of the RRHOF, I see names such as Clyde McPhatter, Dion, Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers, Pete Seeger, Lovin' Spoonful, The Moonglows, Pat Benatar and Eurythmics.

So yes.. Megadeth absolutely belongs in the RRHOF.

Re: Flapjack Flippin’ Fatass on Kimmel

I am still confused, why does he stand on a table cloth? If the entire band did, and the drummer riser was patterned the same, the back-drop, maybe the bassdrum-head, etc... It would make more sense. It looks goofy... or am I being a goof here? $tEvil Table cloth? That's Valerie's underwear dude.

No. I have seen both bands when they were intact and decent. No interest in either now. I passed up on a free Slaughter show last year because I didn't want to drive 30 minutes.

Re: THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS ... Would Wolfgang Van Halen be even remotely popular, if Pops was still alive?

He isn't popular now. Wolfie definitely got a sympathy / curiosity bump with his first record. His second album didn't get the hype his first one got from MSM.

I have seen Priest many times over the decades. I still support them, but live they are a bit.. tired now. I chose KK's Priest because it would be something new and more interesting. And it would be in a club setting. I hate going to arenas now.

I met Gene once at a bikini bar / music venue in Pasadena about 22 years ago. If my memory serves me well, I think the name of the place was Pleasures. Union was playing and there were maybe 35 people there. Gene walked in and I immediately recognized him. He walked to the bar and ordered a drink. A...

I never cared for The Cosby Show. It just wasn't my thing. However, I do love I Spy and The Bill Cosby Show. The Bill Cosby show (1969-1971) was him playing a High School Gym teacher named Chet Kincaid. My brother also had some of his comedy records that I would listen to religiously.
