I would definitely stick to just the studio albums. James LaBrie sounds like Don Dokken these days.

I completely misread that, so the confusion is on me. The point I was trying to make was that it made a big difference who Roth chose to play that role, and that him choosing Holmes as a replacement for Becker (someone that actually had talent and could play the Van Halen/Vai parts well) was a bad i...

I'm not remotely a guitar player, and I give a shit. I don't think you understand just how bad Holmes was on the Ozzmosis tour.

good song, he sounded great live He's always sounded great. But man, he's got to do something about the weight. I thought he looked a little better in the Amoeba records video he did, but that video makes him out to look bigger than ever. Also, thought it was interesting that one of the guitarists ...

Blabbermouth did God's work and has a transcript of the video about Wolfgang. https://blabbermouth.net/news/david-lee-roth-takes-shot-at-wolfgang-van-halen-this-fing-kid David Lee Roth has blasted Wolfgang Van Halen for allegedly "throwing out" some of the singer's invited guests at a cou...

In the course of a week, DLR has talked shit about Valerie, the entire Bertinelli family, Alex, and now Wolfgang. I think the more interesting story is not what Dave has said about them, but why Dave is saying all this now. Perhaps he just got tired of being painted as the difficult one and wanted ...

Iron Maiden- Live + One. Greek album including tracks from Maiden Japan, Women in Uniform 12" and a Japanese release also called Live + One.

Those tracks aren't B Sides on one of the remastered CDs? Maiden Japan was definitely on the Killers reissue, amongst other places.

I can't think of anything at the moment, usually my problem is the other way around.

I know some of Bob Seger's early 70s material isn't out there, like Back in '72, which is notable for having the studio version of Turn the Page and Rosalie.

I just looked at the lineup, this thing is going to tank HARD. I love Dee, and wouldn't mind seeing him, but if Twisted Sister couldn't draw, you think he's going to draw by himself? Don Felder? I know he's opened for like Foreigner and such, but there's absolutely nothing about the Eagles that scr...

That's a pretty fun lineup. Go to the show, have some fun. You guys really wanna hear the powerhouse rhythm section of Rikki and Bobby that bad? No, but Poison is 4 guys, not just one. I feel bad for the other three having to sit home and not do anything, while Bret is off posting pictures of himse...

This one is radio friendly. Too bad it'll never get played.

This is why Dave is Dave. He may be a goofball, but he has never lied.

I wish I could have seen them anytime during the 90s. I've heard Phil had some horrible performances in the late 90s though. It still would have been entertaining. I had seriously thought about going to see them down in Orlando with Anthrax opening in 97. Didn't end up going, and then of course nev...

That's amazing, because I'd rather shit hot knives than ever see Josh Homme.

I don't buy it. They're too young. I think this is all a ruse, they're going to go away for a bit, ala Motley Crue, and then come back with a reunion of just the original four guys, since Steve is good with playing drums again.

Holmes's playing could very well be the reason for skipping most of EEAS and Skycraper on this tour even when they played for almost two hours. As for dropping Sheehan era songs that Matt Bissonette couldn't play on Skyscraper, were those the fast songs off EEAS - Elephant Gun and Shyboy? I was thi...

Yup, that happened. It was the Tune In, Turn On, Burn Out tour - Sisters of Mercy, Public Enemy, Gang of Four, Warrior Soul, and I think Young Black Teenagers. I think they only played a few dates before got cancelled. YBT was the opener on the Anthrax/PE tour, so could have happened. As far as A L...

Met Woody Weatherman after a bar show on the Wiseblood tour, me and a few friends hung out after the show by the bus, he was only guy that came out.

Not sure who was in his band for that run, but they sound pretty good. I'm sure that setlist isn't for everyone, but I could see it in Vegas as a "show" rather than a concert.

I'm not going to say booze is worse than say Heroin/Fent, but GODDAMN. Twelve years ago, the guy was on top of the world with Scorpions, and I saw them twice on that Sting in the Tail tour with him having that big solo in the middle of the show, and now there's absolutely nothing to show for it.

I don't think I realized just how much of their catalog that I'm familiar with comes from that album. It's been a while since I listened to it, but I think the only track on there I can't place is "She Wants Money". Not a horrible idea, and almost worth a drive down to Bloomington to see, ...

For fans of the bands, I don't necessarily think that's a bad deal, considering inflation, etc.

I don't really have any desire to see those bands personally, but if the question is value, and they're playing a decent theater, then I think you have to pony up the cash these days.

They broke Van Halen's record a while back for most top 10 singles or something, so clearly someone is listening to them.

Hellsinkey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:07 am That said, it doesn't represent the band really. They have dozens of better songs.

Apparently they didn't write it, which would explain that. Harold Faltermeyer and Mark Spiro got the credits on that.
