Extreme should’ve been the headliner. They were outselling both of them at the time.

Extreme were a two ballad band. Far from arena headliner material.

And people around here claim that I’m dumb.

1984? Not so sure, as he left a band that was more or less dysfunctional and he moved on to put together his dream band and had a couple of successful tours and full creative freedom. obviously he didn't regret it in 1984, but you can bet yer ass that he was having seconds thoughts in 1994 when &qu...

This. Add Ace Frehley, and Michael Schenker. Schenk seems to think he made his brother’s band

Ace is a dipstick.

You like Grinder? There are a few others that suck too

British steel has no clunkers. Stop this madness

That’s two takers for Grinder then?

One fan’s BLT is another fan’s sh*t sandwich.

I was never a diehard Priest fan.

Well done

There are dates that I’ve seen where Extreme was the middle band and Roth was the opener. https://media.tenor.com/FsD1MijyJEEAAAAM/cut-it.gif :lol: Doesn’t change that Extreme was outselling both Roth and Cinderella at the time.

Remember when GNR did that dumb reggae part during Knocking On Heaven’s Door? They made a bigger change between Night Songs and LCW than they did between LCW and Heartbreak Station I blame David Lee Roth’s presence on that tour for the drag in sales. No one wanted to see him. There was also no clea...

The difference between GnR and the Stones is that GnR was dabbling in Stonesy-sounding stuff, but Cinderella was trying to remake their whole image and sound (see also their little bro Dizzy Dean with Black Eyed Susan), and, as judged by the poor album and ticket sales, the public wasn't buying.

Chris fooken Holmes I was never a big fan of his band but I do agree. Chris had some shit. He was way cooler than Phil too Wait, what? Homeless always (well, at least in early WASP) felt like someone trying too hard to show everyone how he is a dangerous metal madman. Seriously, what 30 year old ro...

1996 Didn’t see many shows that year. KISS Reunion in arenas. It was fun. Magical at times but I missed the 80s. It was a cruel irony since I spent most of the 80s wishing the original band or atleast Ace would come back. Be careful what you wish for. 1997 Alice Cooper, Dokken, Warrant and Slaughter...

I don’t listen to either but I’m tired of hearing how Beyoncé needs to win album of the year. Lots of legendary artists never won a single Grammy, forget album of the year. People say the Boomers and Miillenials act entitled. But Kanye and Jay Z do a great job representing how entitled we Gen Xers r...

I didn't hate it. It may have been the whiskey, but a had a tear in my eye during "Fast Car." Great song. Great performance. No bullshit. No background dancers. No medley. Nice to see Billy Joel get some love too and close the show. With the exception of Jay Z crying like a little girl be...

There's a couple things here. Pete apparently was volatile when he was drunk so he got a shorter leash than Steve. Steve was a shy guy. Pete played most of the rhythm tracks but was too wasted come time to do the solos and the last little rhythm bits. While the rest of the guys drank a lot too, the...

This could be a shut-out. It won't when that one retard bumps into this thread. People who think Jani was our generation’s John Lennon are calling me a retard :lol: Jani never wrote anything near Dee’s level or caliber. Dee and his band looked and acted like clowns then again, so did Jani and his b...

Taylor Swift isn’t rock neither was Bieber Agreed. Just spit-balling names since we seemed to be stuck on only a small number of other musicians. This is just an example of what an A-list is. I think the changes in the music industry have changed what is A-List overall these days. Bands that can fi...

I don't know why this is hard to grasp. The argument on page 4 is the same as the argument on page 1... Cinderella had a lukewarm album. Their change in style wasn't a bad move (and they got some critical acclaim at the time), but none of the singles caught on. So they were still stuck trying to sh...

Nothing wrong with saxophone. But it was Cinderella's image that both gaveth and took it away. Good music but the wave they rode in on was gonna crash to shore pretty quick. They looked silly and it really narrowed their reach. By 1991? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Poison were multi pl...

I'd take Pete Willis over Phil in a minute. That drunk midget had some chops. .....Unless I was in a scuffle and needed back up, then it's shirtless Phill all the way.

just for kicks, name 5 or so of the better songwriters Only five? Dee Snider Joe Elliott Tom Keifer Donnie Vie Rachel Bolan :roll: You honest to god think that Jani is better than those guys? Look, I’m a fan but let’s be honest and realistic. Jani wasn’t even in the top ten best frontmen never mind...

Donnie Vie is Mozart by comparison.

Stopped playing in a band with him

I still can’t comprehend Dime is gone all these years later. I’m glad I got to see him a couple times

I would say Metallica are A List.

Axl and Slash are A list. Duff is B List with the Miracle Man

Def Leppard might be A list

Elton, Stones, McCartney are A list

Dave Grohl is A list, so are Green Day love them or hate them

What’s wrong with the saxophone? The Stones started using sax and horn players back in the 70s. Cinderella weren't the Stones, and imitating them killed their career. Nothing wrong with saxophone.
