Re: Looks like Pantera will sellout MSG tonight!

I'm glad this is doing well for all involved and all that enjoy it but this success just means we'll inevitably get a new album and more tours and that means less Anthrax and less BLS so it sucks for those fans. It's 8 years since the last Anthrax album and at this rate it'll be 9.

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991

Five bands feels like a long night for a lineup of acts who were in their "just okay" eras. I can see why this tour was the "hard pass" of 1991. In 1988, five bands was the Monsters of Rock US tour. The UK MoR at Donington the same year had six bands. Seems pretty desperate to h...

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991

These kind of 1991 time capsules are great to look back on. Alice Cooper/Judas Priest/Motorhead/Dangerous Toys/Metal Church is another fun one.

Re: Rock Hall of Fame 2024 nominees announced

Agree w/ above, Foreigner was widely derided as corporate rock when they formed and they only got softer as time went on. BadCo should get in before they do. I don't "hate" Foreigner, I just think the Hall Should be reserved for something a little more..."remarkable." Say, a War...

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991

Based on my experience, 85-89 was the pinnacle of hair metal. It was the perfect storm of one big party with MTV, teens w/ newly discovered testosterone, spring break, etc.... During this era the pre/early teens were listing to Menudo, Wham/George Michael, Cyndi Lauper, etc..., so by the time the 9...

Queen Rock Montreal IMAX experience.

Pretty fucking awesome. Went last week. I see they added a week. If you listened to the commentary on the DVD from about 15 years ago, you may recall Saul Swimmer had sold the guys on this idea based on it being in IMAX. Only thing was, do you remember IMAX's in 1982? They were like at the Smithsoni...

Re: Does MEGADETH deserve to be in the RNRHOF?

I think both Slayer and Anthrax are more deserving of the RRHOF than Megadeth. Based on what? They were always the "Little 2" of the "Big 4" anyway. With the exception of 1992-1998, Slayer was bigger than Megadeth. Slayer was much more influential on extreme metal, and Anthrax h...

Re: Does MEGADETH deserve to be in the RNRHOF?

Absolutley NO, not enough influence or innovation. They are 4th in the big 4 in both those regards. That said, Mustaine should've absolutely been inducted as a member of Metallica. But Anthrax and Slayer deserve to get in way before Megadeth.
