It’s rare in entertainment to make to the very top wrung. Some that have cannot accept that they’ve fallen below it. To cope they develop bad habits. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince, and Britney all fall into that category. It’s ends early and needlessly for them. There is probably no help...

It is acceptable, even for a band themselves. Fuck the rules. If even Iron Maiden can wear their own t-shirts on stage, so can everyone else.

Not a Sludge-band by any means, very good still. 1977 and Free All Angels are my favourites from them. A-Z Vol. 1 & 2 are very good too.

GUN - never really get talked about on here but those first 3 albums are spectacular! The new stuff without Mark Rankin is also still really solid.

Their ep Popkiller with Toby Jepson (Little Angels) is really good too. Shame they didn't do more together.

Cutting out the dead weight (everything about Thanley, backing tracks, click tracks, more fiery players) has never been more easily apparent. I thought he was sluggish because of the costume, but those things really arent that heavy, I think he just was totally sick of the current production. Would...

Same here.

Backer was hotter and didn't focus so much on bands that were her friends... or had her husband in them. If you just watched HBB Europe, you'd think The Almighty was on Guns/Mötley's level while in real life they were everyone's go-to opening band for a few years. Vanessa was boring. There were a f...

We played Melancholy Man (Pinder's Moody Blues song that he sang) this week at band practise and heard later that he died the same day. Strange coincidence.

Hellsinkey

All I Wanna Do is one of their biggest hits. Absurd they won’t play one of their true classics for their fans. Ann Wilson hates the song. It may have been Chuck Shute or Dean Del Ray but I remember them talking about how the song objectifies. That’s probably the reason it’s not in the set. No wonde...

He didn’t host the Headbanger’s Ball in Europe, Vanessa Warwick did, and the show was as big over here. It was all about the bands/music at the time. Might be good for you to know ”over there”. If it hadn’t been Riki, someone else would have been the host and presented the videos in MTV’s prime. Kr...

Judas Priest releasing the songs they recorded with Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They have nothing to lose at this stage.

I could play drums for a few bands, but most fun would be a set of 70's Status Quo.

Even worse. Brit pop!

Ha. That's one of my favourite music genres. Plenty of great bands there.

VVI by far.

Ian Paice's Purpendicular? That's strange, the guy plays in original band and a tribute too?

Aerosmith87 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 1:02 pm The 2006-2010ish New York Dolls rebirth had an amazing band. Sami Yaffa and Steve Conte were an amazing fit. Drummer was solid, too. They had the perfect blend of being proficient to great at their roles, but being loose & tight at the same time.

Those guys are now in Michael Monroe's band.

Don Dokken (solo band with Norum, Billy White, and Ken Mary)

AFAIK they started with Swedish drummer Hempo Hildén

Strange to see Hilden mentioned here. He was from Finland, as two others from Trash (the band). He died two years ago.

But the whole trip was a nonstop high just being there.

Cool, with all the shows you've seen. You've seen a lot of bands I wish I had a chance. The Hanoi show was good, but doesn't go into my top ten.
