Re: Extreme at Mohegan Sun 2025

Forgot about "Six" ,
I think I may like that album more than any of their others
except for "II" .

Re: Which Band Has Aged Gracefully And Still Has Some Dignity Left?

Out of those choices I voted for Alice

but I saw Billy Idol at MSG recently and he was great
and worthy of a vote here

Re: Are you still listening to new stuff?

The last couple of Vain albums were pretty good
and I would get their latest "Disintegrate Together"
but I can't find a standard/normal price version

Or if there was a Japanese import

Re: Desmond Child/Bonfire "Price Of Loving You"

I've liked this song since I first heard it on the Desmond Child album decades ago. I prefer his version even though he's not like the greatest vocalist. I love his solo album but it took me by surprise at first because I was expecting something like Alice Cooper Trash! It was adult contemporary wi...

Re: JUNE 11th 1991... TUFF singer Shares Director’s Concept for MTV Video “I Hate Kissing You G.bye”, explains why a bal

In all seriousness, I think people watching the video and the look of the band, anyone would realize that the band had rockers too and if they knew nothing about them they could have even assumed that it wasn't the first single/video even though it was, and that they just never heard or saw the firs...

Re: Don’t care what u think..Best hair metal song of all time is..

Best? No. Really good, though? Yes. Should’ve been the second single on the album, though, and the title track should have been released as the first single. I like that one more. “Heroes Die Young” was a poor choice for a second single, and it didn’t even have a video, did it? Indeed it did. They ...

Re: RATT “Detonator” took 8 months to record

8 months to make ? $800,000 the cost ? And the sales were originally 800,000 , though honestly I've also read 900,000 , probably platinum by now and may have shipped platinum at the time even though the RIAA shows it only at gold, bands sometimes complain that the labels don't update that and it's a...

Re: Robbin Crosby

I've been listening to RATT a bit for the last couple of weeks and have half-assed learned a few of their songs as well. It's left me wondering, how good of a guitarist was Robbin? Did he take any of the solos on any of their songs? I know he does the harmony part on Round And Round, but did he hav...
