Music sounds like self titled 95. The vocals are good too. Lyrics are terrible. Agree on this. The lyrics just seem to be nothing. I mean, there's hardly any in the verses. Apparently the last two records was supposed to be a double album, but he was talked into releasing them separately, supposedl...

Was a great blog/forum. I ended up buying the book. I did too... I didn't think that the book was going to be 95% of the blog content. The only difference being the final chapter. I dunno.... I guess I was hoping for something more in-depth. I have to wonder if the band in question was ever outed. ...

Portnoy has admitted to being a huge power pop fan... this doesn't surprise me.

I maintain that everything Sixx does outside of Motley will be better than Motley.

Something so uncalculated about this record that I like so much.

A Voices That Care doc would be entertaining for me. I wanna know if it was Jani's idea to take off his John Lennon glasses and look into the camera during the video. Here you go... I remember when this aired. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM8-F0xNiPI First 5 seconds: Gordon Lightfoot, Burton Cum...

The voice is still amazing.
The songs are utter crap. They may as well have been Bryan Adams songs.
That voice sold the band back in the day.

He probably makes more on his Bon Jovi retainer than he does for an entire tour with his own band.

I liked their first couple albums, but like many bands they figured out their 'sound' and didn't deviate from it so it all got a little formulaic after a while It got VERY formulaic. It also didn't help that they went from tackling serious subject matter on the first couple records. to becoming a d...

At least he sounds better than anything on the last record.
Otherwise, it's just like every single since "Lost Highway"... at best it's mid.

2020 would have worked better if it was a Tom Waits style folk rock record.

Another obvious one, their biggest record was about how they all hated each other because they were all screwing each other. Stevie Nicks had zero talent but she fucked the right people to help get her songs written. See also Courtney Love and Sheryl Crow. Definitely agree about Courtney Love. Disa...

What's the over/under that he'll acknowledge any vocal issues prior to 2020, given the shaky performances he's given since at least 2007.

I saw the trailer... and I immediately thought "another two hours of them talking not saying much of anything we didn't already know".

It stretches the definition of rock, but "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals went to #1 in 2022. They're described as a "British indie rock band" by Wikipedia. just listened. I'm willing to bend pretty far to what young people doing what they want with music, but this is flat out pop ...

WAAF. like WBCN before it. were formerly great stations that ran a good 10-15 years past their prime, not to mention into the ground with their mediocrity. And while adapting with the times isn't a BAD thing, it's not cool to shit on your own past. I remember then ragging on Winger and Warrant in 19...

If this isn't AutoTuned to death, he actually sounds better than the 2020 album.

I mean... must every christmas song of his be a slow shuffle?

I remember this tune... I thought the band name was so fucking dumb.

Nice hairpiece KC!!!

Seems every interview with Werman he's shit talking someone who he got a check for working with. To be fair, a lot of those bands were shit-talking him for years before he clapped back. TS shit talking the man who essentially gave them a hit record that they were able to milk for 35 years, that's j...

For added perspective... "Ride the Wind" and "Life Goes On" were both in the Top-40 the same year "So Tell Me Why" was released. Both of those tunes BARELY cracked the Top 40 on the Hot 100. "So Tell Me Why" probably flopped more because of fatigue. It's a de...

Unlike most Frontiers bands, Stryper actually tours. If he keeps that going, along with a Stryper record every couple years, and since he writes all the tunes, he isn't exactly starving. George Lynch does the same shit... He'll play shows with Lynch Mob. The rest is a couple weeks per project at his...

All the White Lion records have dud tracks, but while Pride had higher highs, I really prefer Mane Attraction.

The album had a handful of decent ballads. John Waite could always be counted on to deliver a good-to-great love song. Backlash basically sounds like a band falling apart as it plays. The tunes are retreads of everything that worked on the first album, even down to the Diane Warren-assisted ballad. ...

Just judging from the podcast and the interviews he gave for FutureNever, Daniel seems hellbent on getting people to forget Silverchair ever existed. Young Modern, while a good record, was the most anti-Silverchair record the band ever made. Since 2006, Silverchair is 100% in Daniel's control. It's ...

He's an incredible musician. But conversely he's also an insufferable bag of douche.

That was my logic with a half dozen bands all together promising nothing but the hits all day and all night might be an attractive package and yes tickets would have to be too good to refuse price wise. The number of acts make up for the lack of extra spice. We’ve seen it all before but not in one ...

This is what Sammy's excuse is every time Van Halen comes up. Except I think Mustaine has actually gotten better about moving on and Sammy never has. To be fair, Sammy does have Michael Anthony right there by his side too. At this point, if Van Halen is NOT brought up in front of Sammy, that would ...

I was in a cover band for 10 years. Some of my favorite memories of that period of my life involved band practice. So much fun. The never-ending search for a place to practice. The long sessions of playing songs and hanging with people who became friends. Just great. I had to quit when I moved out ...

I'd like to see in any order: Foreigner REO Styx Bad Company Cheap Trick Night Ranger My life won't be any better if I see what's left of Journey again but I would imagine if I'm close to being right on this idea, they have to be in the conversation. Barring Cheap Trick, don't all of these acts tou...

I found my copy of Radio Active Cats for $2.

It doesn't surprise me if Promo CDs of either the RAC or the TV In Flames albums outnumber actual retail copies.
By all appearances, both albums were released straight to cutout bins.
