"Lived experience"

Randy era: Diary of a Madman

Jake era: Bark At the Moon

Zakk era: No More Tears

Other: really not any

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. That's where it all came together.

Riad 'n the Bedouins

Is it OK if he were to do quiet music there?

It happens to every generation but we're just reaching that age where it's our turn next to lose the heroes we grew up with. We already lost a bunch of them: Edward Van Halen, Allan Holdsworth, Chris Squire, Layne Staley, Mark Lanegan, Randy Rhoads, John Sykes, Prince, Neil Peart, Jeff Porcaro, Jac...

Mine was 26-36. What led to the beginning at 26 and what led to the ending at 36? At 26 I had several killer girlfriends (all at the same time), opportunities to travel with rock acts and a real feeling of adventure in my life. At 36, I was burned out on the traveling, and returned to my home town ...

40s. I got to do some spectacular travel, business travel, and concert-going during that time. But it's also when I faced down cancer, had my wife leave us, kept taking care of the kids, and saw oldest son nearly die of a congenital heart condition. It was really something.

If you go back from 1990 the same amount forward we are now, you get to 1955. That's before The Beatles, before Brian Wilson, before The Byrds, and only 1 year into Elvis Presley's career.

And let me ask... what is "your idea" of FU money? I am curious... $tEvil Live a comfortable life without having to work any more? $2-5 million except in major metro areas like LA. But "FU Money?" That would require a little more. Probably $10-20 million. That's not only a comfo...

Jon - the "trading card" in the 7800 cassette called him a "powerful young rock vocalist." He was never powerful. In fact, he had a pretty awful tone to his voice. He was "passable." Had a good business sense and led the band to stardom. Had the look, certainly. Richie ...

Not much of a fan, but indeed that third album (the one with "Possession") was REALLY good. That's where she found the right mix of melody and really great production. But then she fell out with her drummer and started playing less interesting tunes and changes. Once she went back to being...

That's because you don't understand MMA.

Meh.

No. But he's soiled a few.

An older drummer still playing fantastically well is Simon Phillips. But of course, he's not the right sound for Pearl Jam. I would like Pearl Jam to have a bit "groovier" drummer again. Krusen brought a bit of that. Abbruzesse was more funk and rock and less impressionistic, but I liked b...

I would agree with these things, at least: 1) I've seen Rogan do comedy (years ago). It wasn't good and certainly wasn't very funny. I did think his banter with David Lee Roth when I watched that podcast was fairly good. 2) Rogan has been a big supporter of MMA, and that was pretty much his career i...

Barrett Martin would work in this role.

They didn't take advantage of Matt's singing enough. He could have given Eddie a break, perhaps doing his semi-hit "Puberty Love" once or twice.

Why? And be specific. For the record, I don't except I have heard him when (for example) David Lee Roth was on. Since Dave doesn't do many interviews these days, I listened to that. But back to the point. Why specifically is someone a "dummy" for listening to his podcast. Is it because of...

I question the intelligence of anyone who listen's to Joe Rogan at this point. I question the intelligence of anyone who puts an apostrophe on "listens". It's not a possessive bro. Yes, mistyped typing fast. Sue me. You're still a dummy if you listen to anything Joe Rogan has to say. Why?...

I just want people to use verbs.

Contraband, easily. It's got more memorable tunes and a way better sense of groove. Sorum is better here than on Use Your Illusion. What it doesn't have, however, is any single tune as great as Chinese Democracy's best moment, "Riad 'n the Bedouins." That would go on any best of GNR compil...

It's one of Black Sabbath's best songs. What really makes is work is the swing feel on the drums during the heavy guitar breakdown, a juxtaposition not often heard either before or after. It both rocks and grooves, and the whole thing works despite Ozzy's pretty simplistic melody. Lyrics do feel a b...

A little stiff in the rhythm section, but pretty cool.

"They bad" or pretty much any version of "verb challenged" speech.

It's less about the parents than it is the impact of ADHD mood-altering drugs . . . and then what happens when those drugs are suddenly taken way (for any number of reasons). This is the epidemic at the center of almost all shootings that involve young people.

This was at the Arcada in St Charles, Illinois. I was there. It was a good show despite Don's limitations. If you're going expecting to see 1988 Dokken, then yes... you will be highly disappointed and feel ripped off. By now everyone knows what you're getting with Don. The guy can barely get around...

I've always gotten a kick out of the general nonsense spewed by the masses... Like when Pamela Anderson or Donna D' Errico were all the rage, the Baywatch type... and the average Joe would spout off; "She looks like a bag of bones, I like some meat on my woman" You do realise this time YO...

Not blown away . . . Oh wait, that was the other Corey.
