Re: Did Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley ever successfully make someone's career?
I was present for a couple of these attempts... In one, Paul was after the Poison guys because he wanted to produce their second album. They wanted to look pro for the meeting (at the Rainbow) so they rented a van and I drove them up lol. That's also why he popped up at the Texxas Jam with them. The...

Re: Why is it that Tom Werman...
I read an interview where Werman said he did not feel they got a really good guitar sound for Mick until GGG. People gotta realize tho that the guitar sound is not entirely dependent on the producer. They suggest stuff, yeah, but at the end of the day the guitar player gets final say, and if some gu...

Re: Why is it that Tom Werman...
See, I love the sound of those records now...but in the eighties, while I loved the material, I thought they sounded awful.

Re: Why is it that Tom Werman...
This shit is so wild to me. LWTCDI sounds like a demo tape. I remember the follow-up sounding WAY more pro at the time. I seriously wonder if it is mastering or some shit, or like, they made the CDs from the vinyl masters or something, or if modern listening devices are really different. I've defini...

When I look at my broken-assed friends who are my age, I think "Dammmmmn, I am doing great!" I eat better than I ever have (started cooking during lockdown, and it turns out I prefer pretty basic meats and lots of veggies). I still drink a fair amount, have not suffered the whole: "BU...

Re: “1981” @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 5/6/2024
Fuck I hate John 5. He is the epitome of limp-wristed, unexciting guitar player. There is never a point where he seems like he is feeling ANYTHING, and his playing reflects that.

Re: Valerie: "Eddie was not a soulmate"
I don't think marrying Val slowed Eddie down one bit. I used to know a girl he banged backstage on one of the Van Hagar tours. She said it was all very perfunctory...bent her over a sink, did his bit and took off. Average day for Ed.

Also notice that they edited it specifically to look like Vince was involved...but he is at a different place.

The 4NonBlondes thing is okay, in a deliberately quirky way. Like Manson doing that Eurythmics cover. Oh, the song that put Manson on the map? The song that made that garbage album "Smells like Children" go fucking platinum singlehandedly? Yes, they are 2 peas in a pod. I mean seriously, ...

Terrible song and all...I am so tired of this shit where "bands" make music and videos without ever stepping into the same room at the same time with each other.
This is more a product of the music producer and video editor/animator. There is no Motley Crue here.

Pretty brutal how they end that article with: "RATT's latest album, "Infestation", has sold under 50,000 copies in the United States since its April 2010 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

Re: What revelations are you still waiting for?
I do think, except for some outliers like Priest (the one with Half, not the one with Merc), all bands are only good on their first 5 albums. Then they go to ok, and then they go to bad. I dont think Maiden had outside help, but they just couldnt write for shite once they turned 30. There are other...

Re: Do you like Sammy solo?
I like his early solo output. It got a bit too cringey for me around VOA, but Standing Hampton is a classic of that hard-rock-but-not-quite-metal era.
First show I ever saw was Sammy on SH with Aldo Nova opening. It was great.

Meh. The Ai is here. Just tell it to whip up some new GnR for you then pop over to make an album cover. It'll be better than anything GNR is capable of.

Re: Would you still like Priest if Half wasn't a LGBT?
Well, maybe it's a cultural thing, but over here in the 70s/80s the leather-clad gay guy in the Brando cap and chaps (with optional extra handlebar moustache) was a well-established comedy trope. Hell, you all got the Police Academy gag with the Blue Oyster Bar, right? And none of the actual bikers...
