Re: Martin Popoff books

I’ve got quite a few and really like them all. His writing style is a little different but I like it. He’s kinda non-linear and unconventional but interesting. Always lots of cool rare pictures, lots of interview quotes and it’s usually pretty in depth stuff. He’s a fan first and foremost but it’s n...

Any US sludgers see Kick-Axe open up for Judas Priest…

Back on the Defenders tour in 1984? What did you think of them? Did they go over well and did you know anything about them prior? It was a big opportunity for what was probably a pretty unknown band in America at the time. They’d been around in Canada for awhile and had a pretty good following. The ...

Re: TMZ reports Smashmouth's Steve Harwell "on his deathbed

Could not stand these guys when they came out. I wasn't bitter about the 80s being over... I liked a lot of britpop. But these guys just annoyed me. Listening to their hits this morning.... these are some really well-written and sophisticated pop songs. What is it about death that lets you see arti...

Re: Is Paul Stanley going out on top?

You honestly think Paul Stanley cares about any of that? People are still showing up in big numbers and paying stupid ticket prices to see this gong show. He’s laughing all the way to the bank. He knows Kiss can pull any kind of bullshit and people don’t care. It’s a license to print money.

Re: Fun shows during the late 90s down period

What a weird time that was. I remember Slaughter playing at some club a few miles outside of Spokane in 95/96/97 somewhere in there. It wasn’t really even a club more like a multi-use 4H bingo hall with a bar area. I don’t even know why I went because I hated Slaughter. Just hoping there’d be some m...

Re: Was “Crazy Train” an instant hit when the song was released?

Hell no. Ozzy was popular with rock fans, but heavy metal was not en vogue during the Randy days. New Wave was what was hot. "Metal Health" and "I Wanna Rock" and heavy metal breaking through was a long way away. Crazy Train really blew up after the video from the Tribute album ...

Probably because Rittich was out with a knee injury and not fully healthy. Smith played well. Certainly can understand why they didn't throw an injured goaltender out there. He was dressed and ready for every game. They just chose not to use him, which was a mistake. I don't think the Flames called...

Controversial finish, but the Sharks move on. See ya, Vegas! HORRIBLE call and another black-eye for the league, it changed the entire outcome of the series. How they don't have video review for 5-minute majors is beyond me. Agreed it was a bad call... even a really bad call... but bad calls happen...
