Yep, been that way for at least a decade for me. I play once a week at most and I rarely if ever seek out new music to listen to. If someone sends me something unsolicited (“check this out!”) I rarely do. I rarely listen to music, maybe one vinyl per week on average or one album on a six hour car ri...

Phil has some pretty standard stage banter every night but also plenty of off the cuff observations and quips. I don’t think anyone disputes he’s one of the greats. I saw Phil's second show as "Phil Anselmo & The Illegals" in Tulsa. The venue is 2k capacity but for whatever reason the...

Always been a Petty/Mellencamp/Seger guy, but never Bruce. Definitely respected him but could never get past how campy and earnest his stuff is. Bought a ticket to the Chase Center SF show a year ago thinking “go see what the big deal is once while I still have the chance”, it got postponed, and I w...

Random fun fact I just tried getting into Gojira on a drive from OC to SF last weekend and it didn’t work but I guess I missed a key ingredient! :D So I am a proponent of mushrooms, but only when done properly and for the right reasons (as in, therapeutically, not too much, not too often, in a comfo...

I mostly can’t believe that Brian, 76, still smokes with this sort of high-stakes commitment on the books. Not sure if Angus quit or not. I get it, cigarettes, not like they’re shooting black tar off the street or hitting the glass dick, but…76 years old and still smoking? Not exactly thin either. S...

Always considered this a main difference between a decent frontman and a great frontman/woman. Most recent example was last month I saw four shows in a row on the Pantera/Lamb Of God tour. Phil has some pretty standard stage banter every night but also plenty of off the cuff observations and quips. ...

Same here. I could give a fuck if they got back together or not... Come to think of it, I'd rather see Bach solo just to get a few of his own songs thrown in the mix. Agreed. This’ll get me banned on a hair metal board but I honestly would prefer more SB solo stuff in the set than deep cuts from th...

Love his solo albums, couldn’t care less about post-1996 Skid Row... Same here. I could give a fuck if they got back together or not... Come to think of it, I'd rather see Bach solo just to get a few of his own songs thrown in the mix. Agreed. This’ll get me banned on a hair metal board but I hones...

It’s already 15-20 years past due, but I guess it would be cool and I’d see it and of course wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. I know you disagree but I’ll never shut up about how great Sebastian sounded when I last saw him in December 2021. It was on a Monday night, there were maybe 250 people ...

Slave To The Grind is the only one of these that I’ve heard but I know it wins anyway.

The other correct answer not listed is Cowboys From Hell.

So, we're not only saying that she had real talent because her bro was a half-decent bar-band jobber, we're also equating her with a music legend. Got it. So, you somehow think I said she only had real talent because her half brother can sing (wtf kind of left-back-in-first-grade inference is that?...

I started a 3 season series called Loudermilk. If you're an Office Space fan, you'll like this dark comedy. Same actor, Ron Livingston plays a sobriety counselor who also is in his sobriety Read this thread earlier and started this show tonight based on this post. First episode was great and gonna ...

Finally saw this last week. Agreed that it was too long but I still enjoyed it. Huey Lewis always strikes me as one of the more pleasant and agreeable people out there. Maybe it was because she couldn't sing... I'm sure that she needed a LOT of work in the studio to sound good and they didn't have t...

No way in Hell could he pull that off live.

Ehh, he’s 62. This was probably recorded 20 years ago. He still could’ve done it 8-10 years ago during the AC/DC era.

Axl from 2:50 - 3:20 = the best Axl.

Hate on the guy all you want if that’s your thing, his solo material is consistently top-notch including these two most recent songs.

His voice sounds great and the production in general does too.

I’ve seen them many times since 1999, most recently in 2010. I could wax poetic at length about how much I love that band and what a smart and devastatingly hilarious dude Dexter is and how Noodles is quite awesome himself, but unfortunately as of the last few years the backing tracks for the lead v...

Never hated them. Loved the 2008 album Dark Horse and went from “don’t hate” to “actually kind of like” Then maybe a decade ago Corey Taylor tried to mock Chad Kroeger, in effect saying that writing hit songs is easy and anyone can do it if all they want is an easy payday. Chad called his bluff: “Oh...

Off the top of my head… Michael Sweet (never heard his music, just know he’s really fucking dumb) Aaron Lewis David Ellefson Ace (163 IQ my ass, subtract 60 from that and you’re in the ballpark) Jon Cooper (from the band Skillet, again, never heard his music, just know from rock media that he’s an ...

Turned 40 last Halloween.

I picked “What Hair” but I’ve also been bald as sin since I was 20.

…and I’m always the guy insisting that Lars is a great drummer and an even better musician/songwriter. Flame away, you’re not changing my mind on this one. Totally agree - Incredibly creative drummer (especially through And Justice For All) who founded many identifiable thrash drummer essentials. H...

Alex Van Halen is my all time favorite. A lot of the obvious ones are up there for me - John Bonham, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, Mike Portnoy, Vinnie Paul, Carter Beauford, Danny Carey, Chad Smith, etc. Some of my favorites off the top of my head who I consider criminally underrated = Eric Kretz,...

I will never stop laughing at how personally some people take this sort of thing.

Douche move? Yes. Something to endlessly whine and cry and pearl-clutch about? Hilarious.

How dare you blame weed for this.

Sometimes I’m looking to spend money I don’t have on things I don’t need. Usually it’s vinyl albums, and I often notice that major artists have some albums on vinyl but not others, and I don’t understand why. Random examples - Dream Theater you can’t get Images & Words, Awake, or Six Degrees. Al...

This is case by case for me. If GN’R are gonna put out…not their best material and play it live, but they’re playing 3 hour sets including what everyone came to hear, fine, fair enough. They’re clearly not doing it for money or for their health. If RHCP are gonna put out…not their best material and ...

Ooooo baby that is some marvelous VH footage. Thank you for posting!

John Frusciante
Daniel Johns

Basically anyone who’s extremely talented and deemed ‘difficult to work with’ I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they were ND to some degree (Eddie, Axl, etc.)

This. Usually I admire artists innovating and pushing themselves. DJ somehow always comes across as creepy and thirsty.
