A huge factor in running into someone famous, musician, actor, etc... is the "location". I also shared the House Party story on here more than once... good times. $tEvil House party with Gene? I don't recall seeing that. Link it or paste it please. I'm surprised Gene didn't want to produc...

Not sure what you were going for..... What were you going for? At least you're inspired to create and keep creating. First, I wanted a song worthy of gay porn. Huey, honestly Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers was the inspiration. I wanted to write a song full of 70s references. There are thing...

Strong Arm? How can you say Dallas 1pm isnt good? I know it takes 10 years to get to the meat of the song, but it is great. Funny you mentioned that. Because I wanted that song to be great. It's promising with the voiceover but it goes nowhere. That's just my opinion though. And I know what you mea...

Check out Exodus's Fabulous Disaster, it's a masterpiece of thrash; only thing that sucks is the silly album cover. Okay cool. That's actually useful. I have been keeping an eye out for Pleasures of The flesh ( I prefer physical media) I remember really digging it the times I heard it played back i...

Besides Metallica, I don't know the other two. But I would switch that to:
...and justice for all - Black Album

Saxon cranked out records way too fast around that time. Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm, Denim & Leather came out in less than 2 years. Strong Arm sucks but they didn't have much time to write material. Plus they've always been uneven. Power & the Glory and Innocence are great, Crusader and Ro...

Where Angels Fear To Tread isn't that bad - just more polished and not as raw. I have the opposite opinion. I don't think it's polished at all. I don't think there's a single good track on that record. Unlike Saxon, where I have to admit that the song strong arm of the law is good. Bent was a solid...

Yeah I don't get these loser dorks with their unfocused barrage of new toys. Everyone knows you have to have one space in your bedroom dedicated to a selection of action figures of a single genre. When you're about to bring a lady into your bedroom you want to make sure the big guns are ready. Like ...

... "Denim & Leather" and "Bent" stand directly next to complete shit like "Strong Arm of the Law" and "Where Angel's Fear to Tread"?
Makes no sense.

From Rhino records in Montclair California It seems like Gen X has been a prime target for pop culture memorabilia for decades now. I think a lot of these are cool and the scope is just wild - from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the Grateful Dead - but I dont see the point. It's not like they're re...

Their first four albums are what made them great. Each album is completely different which is a miracle considering how limited their lyrical content is. The thing is, the production on those albums doesn't hold up. But you're in luck because they continue to produce excellent records. I suggest Kin...

When Sash and Duff offered the gig to Matt it was premature. They didn't do their due diligence. They didn't want to go through the process of auditions. It was literally "that's it, we're done!" Matt was an older dude who was used to going from gig to gig. That included dressing appropria...

In Las Vegas a black 17-year-old boy was beat to death by up to 15 white assailants. Democrats and leftists protests for justice in what they call a "most certainly Maga-related crime. They further state that "there is absolutely no excuse for this heinous murder" and that they will &...

Fun stuff and it's cool you take pride in it. I don't know much about Damger Danger but I do remember that shirt design so that's cool. I'd probably wear that Warrant shirt. Not big on Fester pussycat, but it's cool if it's vintage. Some of these look like repros? And here's the reason why I'm chimi...

Dude read ‘double-digit IQ’ and felt personally attacked. I get it. I know my response is disproportionate to the source motivator, but for the record I do not chime in and cause drama on every political thread. Far from it. But sterilize is the type of guy that needs to be addressed. The majority ...

You gotta remember, KISS fans are really stupid. Especially ones who pay for these shitty meet-and-greets. I watched the OP video and the Gene video and my god does every utterance from the crowd sound ‘double-digit IQ’ to me. Like straight up South Park ‘RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE’ crowd caliber intelli...

I saw this on Headbanger's Ball a couple times back in the day and I loved it. I think they are from San francisco. I haven't heard anything else from them. I had no idea it was a cover tune until Stryper recorded it for The Covering in 2011. I never would have guessed it was originally a Sweet song...

Well, there's some merit for being two for two, I guess...

What the f is this crap? How hard is it to write a fucking rock song? These songs reek of the outdated ambition responsible for one of the biggest failures in Rock history. No matter how you spin it, Chinese Democracy was a lifeless overly complicated dud. No one could relate to it. So now are we go...

I think Beast from the East is the best 80s metal live album. They are in top form. The harmonies are tight and Lynch just tears it up

Nice playing. And then Yngwie came along and was light years ahead of where Randy eventually wanted to go. At the time, we used to joke that the real reason the plane crashed was because Varney sent Randy a few cuts from Yngwie's demo. I love Yngwie but in my opinion he's much more of a one-trick p...

Huh, that's a good picture of me. Thanks bernie!

From a decade ago. As a musician I appreciate having experienced the era of Randy Rhoads when it was new and mind blowing and a powerful influence

You could argue against Tesla being a second-rate GNR, but as soon as Jeff Keith did the Axl dance in one of their videos, that's exactly what they became.

My favorite of the bunch is Asphalt Ballet followed very closely by Kik Tracee

I'll never forget driving back from the city with my older brother and his friend. They were all about the latest car stereo gear and Metal. They pop a cassette on and I have no idea what it is. I'm just laid out in the backseat, probably high from smoking weed, and I'll See the Light Comes On, and ...

I guess during that time there was always a spot on a tour for them. So they were reaching audiences and the label saw them working hard and the headliners probably didn't have to pay them a whole lot. Regarding these comparisons. I don't know Black and Blue that well but Hold on to 18 is way better...

:evil: I never knew anybody that was into Keel or had their records. Yeah, we all had the Steeler record - because of Yngwie. I wouldn't be surprised if that one record outsold Keels entire catalog.
