Re: How are Steelheart these days?

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.

Re: Do you appreciate Nickleback more in 2024

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...

Re: Bon Jovi - Legendary

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.

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. ...

Stones haven't made a truly good record since 1982. Since then there's been enough really good songs to fill maybe 3 full length albums. The last tune I genuinely liked was "Doom And Gloom" from 2012.
