Re: Battle of the bands Part 2…Tesla vs Cinderella … who’s first three album run was better ?
Tesla and its not even close. Mechanical is a perfect album and Great Radio is fairly close. Bit of a drop off on Pyschotic Supper for me (yeah, I know everyone else nutswings that album) but still good. Cinderella's Night Songs is great but the faux blues shit after that was lame. I always felt th...

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991
I think the answer lies here. It was VH/Hagar vs Dave solo. VH won by a mile. F.U.C.K. went to #1, sold millions and had a number of big hits including Right Now that was a HUGE international/crossover hit. Plus they took Alice in Chains out with them which gave them even more crossover appeal. Plu...

Re: Warrant Ultraphobic Tour
Because Jani was a miserable drunk and addict chasing trends in hopes the masses would still accept him as hair metal’s John Lennon. Sadly this has some truth to it.

Re: Warrant Ultraphobic Tour
Piggybacking a bit on the DLR/Cinderella tour thread, warrant puts out the ultra phobic album in the mid-1990s. For a hair metal band this was very uncharted waters and obviously the draw was getting very late as far as attendance in ticket sales. Did the band tour this album heavy or was it an abb...

Re: Rick Beato video on corruption and the downfall of Rock after '96
In this recent video, Rick Beato and his guest point to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 as a catalyst to the Clear Channel takeover of radio. It seems like all the criticisms of Bill Clinton are weird, dumb shit and never stuff like RUINING ROCK MUSIC. Those two clowns act like everything was hu...

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991
I'm not sure exactly when hair metal peaked, but we were definitely past that peak in 1991. By then, most bands had released follow-ups to their biggest albums that weren't as good or successful. Unlike today, metal was driven by younger fans, and younger fans don't want to be a part of something t...

David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991
I’ve never been able to figure out why this tour bombed. Especially with Extreme on the bill. They went platinum that year and had a #1 and #4 hit single with More Than Words and Hole Hearted. Nuno was also the new guitar hero at the time. Ok fine, David Lee Roth and even Cinderella might’ve looked ...
