That Shake It song sounded pretty generic. I never bothered checking out other tunes.

They'd have a great discography if they had limited themselves to their 80s output.

Yeah I thought of Five Men Acoustic Jam but I don't consider it to be a good representation of their studio albums.

I also appreciate how the keys have that click/thud sound, like you're standing next to the person playing them in the room. I'm not sure if that would be considered a gate effect or not. Maybe a studio geek can explain it better. It always reminded me of the sound on this: https://www.youtube.com/...

The Van Halen song I mean.

OU812 has quite a few songs I don't care about but I love this one. Ed seemed more interested in keys than guitar playing at this point, but I've always been a sucker for synth heavy rock.

Plenty of 70s rock and metal bands had an iconic live release: Unleashed in the East, Live and Dangerous, Tokyo Tapes, Alive, Made in Japan, etc. When it comes to glam, I can't really think of too many killer live albums, even less when it comes to material dating from their peak years. Maybe World ...

Which one of these albums is your favourite?

My top 5 would be:

1. 5150
2. FUCK
3. Balance
4. Diver Down
5. OU812

Good stuff. Diver Down is a pretty solid album as long as you go in without high expectations.

Mick Mars? I don’t think he’s ever come across as dumb. Just weird and quiet and not a great father. That too, but his rant about colorful cartoon dinosaurs and the "yuppies" who came up with that idea in The Dirt is one of the dumbest things I ever heard a rock star say. Even dumber is t...

What did he do?

Dipped his brain in alcohol.

I've listened to a few songs. Sounds like most stuff by Gilby: a bunch of filler. He's not much of a singer either.

In what world does Tesla sound like GNR?

For a minute there I thought we were gonna have this deep philosophical thread on Sludge.

This seems lame. I would still prefer Hot Rockin' over this.

I'd say Bo Diddley was pretty metal. He invented pick scraping.

I'd say it was done by 1990.

I'm a sucker for synth heavy hard rock. Turbo, Night of the Crime, Thrill of a Lifetime ... I looove that shit.

Surprisingly good album. First new record I actually bought since 2017.

What's a left-wing racist? Is it a white man discriminating white men?

Because KISS were four ugly as fuck dudes.

Story made its way to the Belgian press. I looked her up hoping she was hot. I was disappointed.

I thought this was gonna be about a new song called Shoes.

No one in the general audience knows Peart.

Reportedly Heenan Snuka arrived at the airport shortly after and demanded a seat on the plane.

I've been considering making an account to stir up some shit over there. Something along the lines of "Did Vinnie ever blow Paul?". I love seeing retards lose it.

Killer album!

John Lennon - Imagine
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Kinda think DLR was the same in VH. He took good songs, and added his melodies to them to make them great. Both DLR and Hagar are on record saying Ed didn't write complete, let alone good, songs, they took riffs and other bits and pieces and frankensteined together songs to fit their vocal melodies...

I'll go along with the basic premise of this thread. Guns n' Roses is the ultimate "greater-than-the-sum-of-their-parts" band. As soon as they made it big, they dismantled the main thing going for them (chemistry) piece by piece. They all released solo albums (and ChiDem is definitely Axl...

Runaround was even worse but at least that was funny because it came across as trolling Sammy. https://youtu.be/TTFQQJz_4tc?si=d4ViGSvaqlIuewQo I saw that as it happened... it was great. That whole night was a mess for VH. Only 2 guys there to accept and neither one are in the band. And even worse ...
