Especially given how many female bassists there are.

Bands with the worst health problems

Aldious, the band that started me on my Japanese girl band following, lost another member due to a health problem, which got me to wondering what other bands have had such a lousy streak. Aldious's body count is pretty big: Singer Rami - undisclosed brain condition. She returned to music but did ver...

Re: Geddy Lee new autobiography

The revelation that he had a raging coke habit in the 70s was pretty surprising. I was also surprised to see how mad he was and Neil for not wanting to continue the final tour. But eventually he understood. He dispenses with Neil's death pretty quickly though. I think he dedicated maybe three pages ...

Re: IF THERE IS A HELL ... Do you think once you get there, you can somehow talk your way out, and get a pass to Heaven?

If memory serves me correctly, there is a book that was removed from the Bible that said that those in hell eventually get released. The punishment is not eternal. It was on the history Channel special on books that were banned from the Bible. Lot of interesting stuff and that special, such as the n...

Re: Was John Mellencamp the only rocker to revert back from a stage name?

What about Neil Peart? Real name or Nikola Petrovič? You can't use him as a source as he has said both on various occasions. Also there's a version that it was his parents who changed from Petrovič to Peart. Neil was born, lived, and died Neil Ellwood Peart. He and Rutsey were the only ones without...

Their drummer is the GOAT of metal. Kerry was an average songwriter but Hahnemann wrote some tremendous songs. The 'Angel of Death' scream is second only to the 'Won't Get Fooled Again' scream on the iconic scream. Kerry is not an exceptional lead player but he was a very good rhythm player. And he ...

Re: Kerry King's comeback

Best thing King can do for this project is make peace with Lombardo. Fans can accept Gary becuase Jeff is dead, but Dave got hosed for asking legit questions about money. Him reuniting with King would help the project out.
