Always hated that song. GN'R couldn't write a simple straightforward rocker anymore after Appetite. Perfect Crime (along You Could Be Mine) were actually written during the pre-production of Appetite. So it’s from the same era. Anyway, Todd Kerns is a good singer – that is a damn hard song to do li...

I think this is the first time I’vr heard about Skid Row tribute band.

As CEO stated, Skids were untouchable during this point of their lives. The band is heavy and aggressive, no similar band in that genre could even sniff this intensity. The problem is, and it became obvious on this tour, they only had songs for one album and one single. Most songs from STTG were bl...

Who's the singing ghost lady?

Looks like the front page of Jehova’s Witnesses leaflet.

To each its own.

But it’s interesting how it’s often mentioned that Mick Mars was an important part of Mötley’s song writing…and then these songs sound nothing like Mötley.

Dumb post. If the makeup roadcase doesn’t make it, the gig goes on. If the roadcase with the laptop doesn’t make it, show cancelled. I’ve never understood this complaining about using pre-recorded stuff. I don’t understand what’s the issue is. If you’re going to a club to enjoy a DJ set and the lap...

To echo others, Sami has done lots of musical work basically all the time in tons of different ground and seems he is very busy constantly. Michael Monroe band is always doing quite a lots of touring (locally those are fairly high profile shows and venues), when not doing full line up shows, then so...

It’s a viral moment.

And by the way, a really really good song. I remember when it came out and was blown away.

Who knows? This autumn has been hard, my mom and stepson died. Yesterday was his funeral. Fuck, sorry to hear that, man. It sucks enough when 1 you are close to dies, but 2 quickly is really hard. Thanks. My mother was ill for a long time, but my stepson died suddenly by accident. 25 is way too ear...

"Fast"? They were nearly broke by Alive! If that wasn't a hit, Casablanca would've dropped them. The debut came out in Feb 1974 and Alive! in September 1975 and although it did not start to sell instantly, at that time they had already (obviously) sold out arenas like Cobo Hall. So from t...

As much as I was in awe of the band when I learned of them in fifth grade, Ace was a "right place, right time" situation. He came in a raw, gun-slinger and never improved. 50 years later, and he's far worse than 1973. Agree. Although I definitely think that all four original members, Ace ...

Meanwhile, I continue to not at all understand what people are expecting when it comes to new or ‘new’ material from these guys. Axl and Duff are almost certainly worth the higher end of nine figures, they’re 60 years old, there is no money to be made or appreciation to be had from new material, if...

^^^ I’m sure they could do better, just saying new material is a thankless task any way you slice it from their perspective, or the perspective of almost any band at their age and success level. Maybe Axl just wants his vault out there, I don’t know. It all comes across as very ‘take it or leave it...

Like said, nobody is expecting them to come out with new Appetite.

But digging 20 + year old demos that weren’t good enough to release to begin with and not even re-recording the parts (which literally would take one day, tops). One could argue that they could do better than that.

Never been a fan of Poison, but this is a good, catchy song.

This can't be restated enough. if anything Guns N’ Roses copied Tesla after ‘appetite’ with the southern rock angle Good point. The more laid-back Stonesy stuff on the Illusions definitely has the same feel as The Great Radio Controversy. Ok. So instead of being influenced by The Stones, who Gn’r l...

When Mötikkä makes comeback you should pick it up on your setlist.

For sure, maybe call it Annika.

Another thread about Mötley’s Bitter Pill made me think about Angela. I’ve always considered it to be a good song, even as a kid when I heard Decade of Decadence album for the first time and was not even familiar which songs were ”new” and which old, I thought it was a very catchy and nice rocker. I...

Good song!

Yes, Kiko probably makes more money as a guitar teacher in Finland and can be a present father. Indeed. Either guitar teachers are payed a LOT more in Finland than I'd think, or Kiko is/was on a shit salary for headlining gigs. Option three: "he wants to be at home regardless of the money"...

Wow, killer record. Never heard them before. But it’s a fucking great album. https://youtu.be/hYmVTVnXXlk?si=DrVp_uaI4NU89Uka I definitely don't think everybody should have heard of every big artists. But one could argue it is a bit surprising that you haven't heard of them, since they were formed ...

Indeed.

1. It has nothing to do with ticket sales. 2. They are not looking for a new singer. 3. They do not need, and will not go back to Bach. Lastly...

Told someone on here I’d check out a show just to see what the AC experience is all about, and plan to in September, so, no? I think what he said was fucking dumb and that company has every right to not work with him over it if they don’t want to. Free speech, meet free market capitalism. Does that...

I'll go along with the basic premise of this thread. Guns n' Roses is the ultimate "greater-than-the-sum-of-their-parts" band. As soon as they made it big, they dismantled the main thing going for them (chemistry) piece by piece. They all released solo albums (and ChiDem is definitely Axl...

American Idol first aired over 20 years ago, how can anybody whine and complain about it in 2023? I mean, how on earth it can bother anybody?

I kinda understood if somebody was all confused and bitter when it started and bitched about it at the time.

But STILL, in 2023?

Jesus.

Ok, that is a weird and creepy at the same time.

Even the first sentence is totally absurd:

”Music icon Bret Michaels, hot off the recent Stadium Tour, the son of a veteran and a lifelong type 1 diabetic…”.

Good song. Embarrassing video - surely with all that technology, there's gotta be a way to make a video look like it was shot on film in the 80s? This looks like a video some 12 years old's would shoot in their backyard on an iphone, and then be embarrassed about a year later. This. The song aside,...
