Re: Deluded fan gives Gene a gift LOL
Reminds me of that documentary from the 90s when the kid gave Paul a plaque at the convention and Paul just left it on the stage. Couldn’t even bother taking it backstage to throw away. I saw that doc recently. He did take it off stage, he just threw it right in the trash and the family walked by a...

Re: why is "Kashmir" so goddamn awesome?
for a song that's almost 50 years old, it's held up quite well. revered is more like it. almost EVERYONE loves the track - from up and coming rappers to otherwise clueless millennials. don't believe me, do a YouTube search for "Led Zeppelin Kashmir Reactions." they ESPECIALLY love the &qu...

Re: Van Halen @ Sydney, Australia 2013-04-20 (pro shot)
Itś is a little sad to see it was all over before Eddie`s passing already.
Wolfie overplays like a second rate Sheehan, Eddie`s tone is like he borrowed gear from a nu-metal band and Dave`s vocals are all over the place.

Animalize for 1984 Xmas present from my sister. Animalize was the biggest album Kiss ever had in all Nordic countries I believe, much bigger that anything from masked era.

Re: Roth keeps trolling WOLF !!!
Why do so many ppl here believe that ADKOT was a good record... they had to go back to the 77 demos because Eddie couldn't write anymore, and the one new song that they did put out sucked donkey balls. Where are you getting “the one new song” from? Songs that weren’t based on 70s or 80s demos : You...

Re: David Lee Roth, Cinderella, Extreme Tour 1991
Did Roth do Sensible Shoes? No. Co-headlining meant short sets so the only new songs he was playing were the title cut and Tell the Truth, which had both already came and went from the charts. 2 things screwed Roth - going to Europe 1st, and losing Becker to ALS. Without a hotshot guitar player, he...

Re: Who likes VH II better than VH I?
Dance the Night Away and Beautiful Girls are the worst tunes of the Roth era VH
VH II is the worst album of Roth era VH, maybe even if ADKOT is included.
