Re: Manowar thoughts, please

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...

Re: Does Axl hate Matt Sorum?

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...

Heroic Left DEMAMD justice for black teen killed by white mob

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 &...

Re: Combining Randy Rhoads' fingerstyle parts

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...

Who was the best second-rate GNR?

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

This isn't something that I worked up. I basically just jammed for 10 minutes and edited it down to a montage of riffs. I kinda dig it.
But, can I face the heat from the world's most notorious critics AKA sludgers?
