No, but that's super interesting, but not completely surprising.

Why on earth would anyone hack a Facebook account ? Facebook accounts get hacked all the time, what are you talking about? Sometimes it's targeted to fuck with the individual in some way (e.g. you have seething jealousy that Tuff never sold out MSG and your only coping mechanism is to frame the dru...

FWIW, don't give him credit for the whole "he was so wasted he doesn't remember". He's lying through his teeth because he very much remembers. He may have absolutely been ripped on whatever, but it's FAR more likely that he remembers it than not. There's no context whatsoever, so my best g...

It was an (un) obvious joke since so many were tossing off nonsense

Well, shit. It seems pretty fucking obvious in hindsight, now.

My name is supposed to be ironically mocking "KISStards." I have SiriusXM in my vehicles, so I'll sometimes turn it on Ed Trunk to amuse myself and it's always the same ridiculous shit. Shouting about the music business in the most rudimentary terms, like he's a CEO trying to explain it t...

Oh c'mon, Ed's "knowledge" of the industry is like a 4th grade report being shouted into a mic by an angry man. "In the concert business, they have these things called tickets. The public buys them, and what they do, is they get you a seat at the concert. If you add up all these, plu...

Yep, especially when he started fingering his ass on stage in the Australia video.....

Was he less dorky in Extreme?

No. He was just fortunate to be on stage with literally the coolest guitar player in the history of rock and roll not named Izzy.

Yeah - Wolf plays great but did a lot of things on that record that were a big departure. -Alternative tunings. Lots of drop tunings and alternate bass tunings on the record. -Bass tapping -Bass capo(??) -As mentioned, crunchy jazz bass. Complete opposite of Mike. -Super complex riffs and runs… a l...

I've always felt that there's a notable difference between Mike's playing in the very early days (as in, pre VH1) and everything we know on their major label releases. His fundamental style is very much the same, but he's just busier early on. Paradoxically/ironically, I think you could argue that s...

ADKOT was the best you were gonna get with 3/4 of classic Van Halen - bag Mikey all you want, but Wolfie played more like Billy Sheehan than Sauce on the record and you get a different sound as a result. Crunch jazz bass is not the sound of Van Halen. Wolfie's main bass influence was the guy from T...

*pats mrsnikkisixx on the head*

What the fuck, Extreme. 1998 called and wants its song that Sugar Ray rejected and ended up being the lead single on a band that nobody remembers back.

The Def Leppard track is super solid for what it is, IMO.

If 5'10" is accurate, I'd easily take the under on 350.

I would put the over/under at 315.

AT LEAST TELL US WHAT THE DINNER IS, DAMN

If it was hand-curated by laglamrocker I might go for it.

The "I am the law" one is funny. I don't know the exact timeline, but I'm guessing it's more likely based on the above that Scott/Benante were jamming on I Am The Law and Billy heard it as an SOD song, but it ended up being an Anthrax song anyway. And its probably more likely that Lilker c...

Creed had a good run, depending on what you think about my sacrifice 2 albums Skrillex is untouchable who No doubt was solid in the 90s one album Marcy playground needs to be in the running one song Michael Buble lolwut dude seriously said marcy playground might as well put cutting crew on the list

Those charts are obsolete. People have basically evolved past them. In my 20s I played University volleyball, had 1% body fat, best shape of my life, and was 5 lbs away from being considered obese. As someone said, go for a walk everyday. Yeah basically this, except LOL at "had 1% body fat. Ob...

None of this should be surprising. Anthrax recorded a song, "Imitation Of Life", on this very subject in 1987. "Bands dress like women, with hairspray and lace I'd pass an image law, stick it in their face Let's see how long they keep dressing this way Wearing this image 24 hours a d...

Not to mention how ridiculous the "it was probably those metal sludge people did it!111" thing is. ahahah It's one thing to not cop to your shit, it's another to falsely accuse other people of shit. But it's one of those "nobody would lie about that, would they?" things people tr...

I love the way he goes out of his way to say he’s a Republican/Trump guy. Such a great tell. The best tell is him saying "it's typing capitals" when the post in question isn't in caps, and looks exactly like his writing style. That's the kind of stuff people do when they're trying to thro...

To be fair, he specified sand-related brown people.

My initial reaction was that Mike has tried for nearly 30 years now to be a solo artist. He says he's keeping rock & roll alive but most of his solo songs are depressing folk songs about feeling sorry for yourself. There are some gems for sure, but they are depressing. Check out Trampthology re...

I dig me some White Lion, but the problem for me is that Tramp wrote some great songs and it was felt like it was battling any heavier "edge" that Vito brought. And that heavier "edge" made a lot of their songs, Lights and Thunder included. So while it's fundamentally a good song...

So...the consensus seems to be that Scott Ian is a cunt. I've told the story here more than once I think, but my only run in with Scott was him shortman-syndroming his balls off around me at Slim's in SF. That being said, I don't see what's so wrong about this interview. He's really just pointing o...

Love this album, but I want to take this chance to point out that I don't know why "Til the Livin' End" doesn't get more love. It's the ultimate Dokken deep cut, IMO, and the epitome of "last track on the album where the band just fucking rips". It's borderline Tooth and Nail Red...

I dig it, I'm surprised any VH wouldn't.

The main riff on Honeybabysweetiedoll is fucking monstrous.

Also, Wolfie shines pretty hard on the old songs.

I'm a big fan of the first EP and Album.
