Saw them headline at the Hollywood Paladium in ‘92. That place holds maybe 3-4k.

Re: Best Live Album (poll)

To those asking about Live & Dangerous, Strangers in the Night, Frampton Comes Alive, Live At Leeds, etc. These are all highly overrated (decent records, but in no way deserving of being in any Top 10 list, IMHO) ... kindly see my previous thread/poll of all time overrated live albums https://fo...

Re: Possibly the MOST KISStarded KISStardery in all of KISStory..my ELDER Musical REMIX IS HERE!

When I decided to try my hand at a fan remix (there will be a more "straightforward" version as well) I thought it would be a great creative exercise to apply my decades of musical, songwriting and production experience to turn it into a full-on Broadway-style musical . You upped the &quo...

Most of these rarely, if ever, make a top 10 greatest live album list, but they should.

Overrated Live Albums (poll)

Most of these are constantly praised as the best (or one of the best) live albums of all time. Now, I'm not saying any of them are bad. Most have at least a few really good songs. But none would make my top 10. So I ask Metal Sludge - which of these is the most overrated?

Re: Impellitteri’s “War Machine” - my review

Not a bad song on this entire CD. Makes my top 5 of 2024. This band is sadly overlooked by most metal fans because Chris was always seen as a second rate Yngwie clone. But he's actually a much better songwriter than Malmsteen, IMHO.
