Re: Ratt Detonator U.S. tour

Ratt seems like a band that got less popular after Out of the Cellar when they should have been huge. Probably the boring live show. And one of the worst lead singers of all time. I agree. Pearcy is/was a terrible singer and terrible frontman. I saw them on the "Dancing Under Cover" tour ...

Re: Waiting for the punchline by Extreme

I like it quite a bit. They seem tired and uninspired more than "lets do a grunge album". For some reason, there's a charm to that. As mentioned, it absolutely IS some of Nuno's guitar work. Unconditionally is a beautiful song too, imo. Paul Geary was uninspired. After recording his drum ...

Re: Waiting for the punchline by Extreme

Mike Mangini played drums on "Hip Today", "Leave Me Alone" and "No Respect". Paul Geary played on the other tracks. Although Mangini is the most technical of the three drummers in Extreme, I thought he wasn't a good fit. Geary's simpler drumming fit the band. My favorit...

Re: Waiting for the punchline by Extreme

My least favorite Extreme cd and it was my least favorite tour.

Didn't like the grunge.

Less funk.

I like "Hip Today". I really like "Unconditionally". The rest doesn't really do it for me.

Re: We need to talk about Hot in the Shade. (Yes. We do.)

Paul made a statement about "Forever", saying that he and Michael Bolton met only once to try writing a song. The song wasn't finished. For whatever reason, the two never worked further on the song. Paul finished the song. When Bolton wanted to perform the song, he wrote to either Paul or...

Re: We need to talk about Hot in the Shade. (Yes. We do.)

It was written by Michael Bolton and Stanley at the height of Bolton's powers. His sound was THE template for the soft-rock/adult contemporary format, no surprise it scored a good chart position. But was there any overlap between Kiss' target audience and Michael Bolton? Hell no. So the song breaki...

I wish he would have talked at least a bit more about Iron Maiden 1985-1993 It's pretty clear in his book that by the time the power slave tour was done he was tired of iron maiden and Steve Harris dictatorship and just tuned out and persued other interests...

Re: TRIUMPH SISTER: Hear DEE SNIDER's Version Of 'Lay It On The Line'

Can't stand Dee Snider, the person and the singer, and his band.

With that said, Dee doesn't have the range that Rik had on the original song. Rik no longer has that range anymore.

The music is fine.

Paul didn't want Carr hired in the first place. Gene and Ace wanted him, so that's why Carr became the new drummer. Carr wasn't the drummer that Singer is.
