When the debut came I thought they should like the biggest band in the genre. Damn, they had better songs than Whitesnake.

Need to get the HOL vinyl out now.

terrible!

Panama and Drop Dead Legs are better. I like the backing vocal arrangement in DDL.

I wish they had gone for darker subject matters. "I hop into my car hit the local titty bar" kind of lyrics make you feel embarrassed.

Musically mostly excellent album. I Just Wanna is terrible and still like Paralyzed and Thou Shall Not are a bit boring but otherwise good,

Good songs in the beginning but by the New Jersey album they started to sound pretty contrived.

He looks fine to me. At this point, if he bothered with plastic surgery, he'd wind up looking like Madonna. Not good. Agreed, good move to stay natural. And he is in great shape considering he has had several big surgeries done. There was one interview where he was talking about that. Even talked a...

Speaking of current DLR as an old Rothtard I looked into his ticket sales for upcoming shows. Very underwhelming considering the good reception he got for the M3 show. Only 30 % or so sold for the concerts I checked. And the venues are pretty modest size. Guess the demand just isn't there. "&q...

And the crowd goes mild for Tool. Probably a horrible idea to put them after Pantera. I didn't think they'd get quieter than they did for Hagar, but this whole set might as well be a piss break. At least their cover of Hand of Doom is competent. Why was Hagar even there? So far I liked Yungblud the...

My stream died in the beginning of Shot in the Dark,

Nuno seems to play a lot in The Ultimate Sin.

But yeah you`d wish Jake all the luck in the world.

I have watched quite a few sessions but mostly in Facebook live. Steve Vai`s talks during covid time were great - he is one of finest personalities in pop music. Very important life philosophy stuff about ego etc. Also during covid Chick Corea used to give concerts from his home - beautiful! Fish of...

Tell me without telling me. Came to post this. (Which itself is a pretty annoying phrase) Another one is "Let`s see a video of you playing" or "Let's see your platinum records" whenever someone expresses dislike for a musician. As if you can't have an opinion if you're not profi...

I ve noticed quite a few people with issues in their childhood and upbringing are drawn to Kiss. Maybe because of the superhero / larger than life aspects of the band, but that seems to happen in 80`s too. In all their shallowness Kiss means a lot to these people.

At the time, there was a ton of hype about what a great job Andy Johns did on the drums and guitar sound. I remember the world radio premiere of Poundcake and their manager hyping how awesome it was, and it was - for about 30 seconds. Then Spazzy started spazzing, and... there were some cool riffs,...

It boggles my mind anyone would admit to have supported either of these assholes. What an embarrasement.

Ex girlfriend was a huge Morrissey fan I went along to one of his concerts. Wasn`t expecting him to be quite the world class pop singer he turned out to be.

Yes! And it is easily my favourite Bon Jovi record. Price Of Love, Only Lonely, Hardest Part Is The Night, Always Run To You and Secret Dreams all seem pretty honest and heartfelt tracks. Others are decent too but maybe a bit forced. The production is the worst of any BJ record I´ve heard though (fr...

I am sure he did it on purpose cause of Wolfie.

Also it was noticeable he spoke of real instruments, "no synth".

Perfect Strangers is not A-list. It's fairly good. They've made a number better than that since then, a couple of the Morse albums. All of them are pretty good. While I enjoy most if not all more recent DP albums that is a pretty bold statement IMO. Which later albums exactly you rate higher than P...

Leader of a country calling own citizen "a jerk". Just astonishing anyone would accept talk like this from a president.

Wow, is this correct? NONE of the songs from the 80's hit the top 40???? That shocks the hell out of me if that's really true. That should sum it all up right there. People were not buying Kiss albums. "Forever" must've just been a big radio request song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For...

“I’ve got to tell you a quick story”. Oh Christ here we go. Reciting the Beverly Hillbillies theme song. He literally spends as much time talking shit as he does playing anything. Bragging about discovering Van Halen. If anyone has verbal diahorrea it’s Gene. House of Pain : Simmons era demo arrang...

Fitz actually has a feel and a groove. His absolutely nailed the playong on the Elder when they played it live. Eric Singer sucks the life out of everything he plays. My understanding is Neal Smith from the Alice Cooper group thinks he is absolutely horrendous and can't even come close to play any ...

They range from "stratospheric " to "astronomical ".

Pretty much! The ticket price range is 1000 - 5000 dollars.

I believe the guy is named Frank Carter. Have no idea his claim to fame, but the shows they have done sound good. He has the attitude and energy to make this something I will consider especially in a small club. He is kind of a big deal in parts of Europe with his band The Rattlesnakes. Good live b...

Arena and stadium show started to feel boring and waste of money when I was around 35 years old.

Im over 50 now and still love to go indie rock, punk etc gigs in small clubs. I love that vibe and musics better. Usually the audience is something like 30-70 people. I go 2-3 nights every week.

This one made me actually laugh out loud!! "And I’d love to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, not with Kiss. I’m the most successful solo artist of the four original members and I’d like to be acknowledged as that.” Article isnt new, but still good. https://www....

I actually think he probably needs the money. I would guess that he probably needs to be "Diamond Dave" more than he needs money. "It ain't no fun without an audience." That too, but he has for example mentioned he needed the VH reunion income to be able to fund the tattoo skin ...
