Dave has to be the dumbest band leader of all time. His gigantic ego sabotaged the only chance he had at eclipsing Van Halen.


I would also argue that Dave is ten times the douche and nightmare that Sebastian Bach ever was.

Sebastian is the voice of reason here. Original Skid Row do owe it to us, We’ve been waiting long enough.

Skid Row have gone through four singers in a little over ten years. It’s not a good look.

I’d like to see Stephen, Juan and Warren go out with a second 80s guitarist and an 80s drummer. That’s probably too big of an ask.

I'm sure this is old news, but I didn't realize until yesterday the reason why they broke up in the first place (or at least the cited one). Bach goes and gets Skid Row booked as the opener for KISS on their big reunion tour in 96, and the rest of the guys give him the "Fuck no, we're Skid Row...

I’m sure they will find another singer or retire. I hope they bring Sebastian and Rob back finally.

Might have to give them a listen. Even back in 1990, I thought their big power ballad was a list of lyrical cliches - almost a parody. Just looked up the stats. The album went Gold and the single hit #23. I just recall thinking, "Why is MTV playing this video so much?" I was too busy digg...

He shrugged and said "I dunno, probably like a bunch of burned out fags?"

You literally just described all the rock musicians and bands we discuss here.

Juan is awesome and the most talented musician in Ratt. Blotz makes Phil Rudd sound like Lee Kerslake. Ummmmm….I’m gonna go with Warren D Martini on this one. I used to think that until I read the songwriting credits. Aside from a couple bright spots like Round and Round, and Lay It Down, Warren ro...

So basically, you make the statement that "not one online site" was shut down, and then follow up by stating that sites were shut down. Nice. The problem is that as soon as you your criteria is something subjective like "crazy conspiracy theories", there's room for error, and du...

You didn't but you got all sarcastic about her having marijuana, but didn't mention the heroine. That’s correct and you find that to be problematic? It should be obvious why I was sarcastic about one and not the other. Any date after 2000, the laws against doing formerly "taboo" drugs hav...

Original Def Leppard
The Blizzard of Ozz
KISS with Carr & Kulick
Deep Purple MKIV
Metallica with Cliff
Racer X
Coverdale/Page
Original Skid Row
Original Steelheart

I’d pay $1200 to go see U2. It’d be a better show than the time I saw scab Eagles for $100 in the late 90s.

Bruce really is an elitist tw@t. Maybe he deserved that egging from the Osbourne’s

Nickelback is this generation’s Winger …. Interpret that however you want … 🤔🤔🤔 Except for Winger could never headline arenas and while selling respectably for their time, never had the kind of album sales Nickelback had. Nickelback is more like Motley Crue. They’ve sold something like 50 million w...

Oh so Heroin is fine then?

Where did I say that?

Healthy Family? His daughter certainly had some issues, she OD on heroin " According to the Kirkland Police Department, Bongiovi, a 19-year-old student at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., was arrested after heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were discovered in her dorm room. She was ch...

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 that kind of time. Can see her being self-aware enough to realize that too. This. Cyndi could sing and was a little older, she was in her early 30s at the time. Madonna,...

No. She's a kept woman who knows the deal. Denzel and Tom Jones have similar arrangements. Well said. He did the right thing. No public drama. Raise a beautiful, healthy family and keep your money. Healthy Family? His daughter certainly had some issues, she OD on heroin " According to the Kirk...

An interesting comparison between Trixter and Tesla is that they were both signed before they had enough quality material for their first album. Tesla (or City Kidd) was mostly a cover band in the Sacramento area. In Trixter's case, take a look at the amount of outside writers on their first album....

I know Roy personally.. He may come off as 'humble' (as someone mentioned), but when you get to know him, he's a narcissistic asshole...he's a true lead singer with a huge case of LSD. He expects the guys in his band (The Fifth) to be loyal to him and not have side projects (though some do), but he...

Winger by a landslide. For a C List band they had three killer albums with great songs and some of the best ballads. They were also hands down (to borrow a saying from Jani Lane) one of the best live bands of the genre.

Agreed with a lot of this. But I actually liked Tangled in Reins better than the debut. Mili is a vocal beast and has obviously taken care of himself and voice through the years. I saw them open for Lynch Mob on the Wicked Sensation tour and they were excellent. I don't think they've played Indiana...

Surrender is better ballad than anything below average Tesla ever did Good times calling and voting for Surrender on Dial MTV. I’m not sure whether to dive straight into the Betty White with you and start snorting lines or laugh my ass off and heckle you. I don’t think I can say with a straight fac...

But from SATD through at least GGG. I would bet Nikki was replaced at times by numerous LA session players that we all know or are familiar with. Mötley may not exactly have been top notch musicians in the 80s but they all had a distinctive style and sond so they'd be hard to replace. We all know V...

Reins isn’t as good as the first album but it has grown on me over the years. Wait is phenomenal although I’m not sure how many original members are on it. He did an amazing job of evolving on Wait but not losing his sound and soul. Very underrated singer and band. They should have been on arena to...

Fook you! Since you’re making me choose, I have to give Bellybutton the slight edge. As smart and talented as Andy and Roger are, they weren’t smart enough to keep Jason around.
