Take the John Bush angle out and do these two bands really have the same fans???? Uhhh.... yes?! They are both heavy metal bands. One thrashier, one more traditional heavy metal, but I would think they have a good amount of common fans. There’s a Joey Vera connection too. He has usually been the go...

Saw them yesterday and really enjoyed hearing Tribal Dance!

At the Montreal show now. Packed, sweaty, small room. They are killing it! Band tight as fuck and John Bush's voice is spot on. EDIT: to say - if you are on the fence, GO to this show. It was fantastic! Best show I’ve seen this year. Band was on fire, and are having a great time playing for crowds o...

As a guitarist, Rowan, but Goldy was a better match for the band.

THIS

Rowan is a better player, technically, but the records Goldy played on are better than the Rowan record.

Ever so slightly, but it’s the Warren departure that does it for me, as well as having nobodies replacing fairly recognizable/credible players in Carlos and Degrasso.

When, in all these years of various versions of Ratt, mudslinging, and lawsuits, has Warren ever said ANYTHING?

He’s the anti-Blotz!

I know of another festival that had them booked, and dropped them once they learned the lineup of the band wasn’t going to be what it once was.

Frank Bello was at the NYC show yesterday and from pictures I've seen they were all buddy buddy, so who knows. It wouldn't do big business, but they could play 1000 seaters across North America and do decently. Anthrax needs to take some time off first though. They've been touring incessantly for th...

12 shows spread out over 2 months is considered a tour? Only by Stonebeef standards, maybe. They're pretty stingy...first live album only has 7 live tracks, the recent one has a whopping 8! This is the set they played last show, and apparently some of these SOS shows are being filmed for a live rel...

Going to the Montreal show on Sunday. Very excited. Have not seen them since 1987!

Setlist is great. 2-3 classics; Symbol of Salvation album; 2-3 classics. Will be a great night. Hope there’s good merch.

Saxon are pretty damn ferocious live.

Paper Sun for sure;
Promises as well

Cannot get into Steve Smith tapping on his triggered to death drums and acting like he’s being held hostage. Good observation! When Smith was tapped to return to the band I was excited, now, watching clips, I yearn for Deen's return. He kicked the band in the ass and was the motor that drove things...

As always, Pearcy is the weak link.

Just like the good old days!

I’ve always supported Kiss, because I’m my mind they are the only rock band where it’s more about the show: less about the musical performance and I’ve come to accept that. Having said that, the musical performance is up to par, but we’ve now reached the point where Paul is embarrassing himself and ...

If Warren were to have a slip of the lip, he would be the first one to say: when you’re in love, especially with a girl with mad cash, there’s no use in givin’ yourself away to the likes of Stephen and Juan - it would be a shame, shame, shame. So tell the world, he’ll be back for more at some point,...

MSG's concert capacity is only 12K? Capacity, for reporting purposes, is the amount of tickets the promoter puts up for sale, not the real building capacity. The tour is selling 80-90% of tickets available and drawing upwards of $800K per night. Bands are probably selling a shit ton of merch as wel...

Miles Away... was never able to get into Headed for a Heartbreak.

Meatless Meatloaf?

Apparently he will tell stories between songs, and “narrate”, while the American Idol dude handles the vocals.

Stephen and Juan wrote everything, Jizzy version wrote nothing.



What did I miss here?

I could get over Pearcy/Juan not being there in a live setting. I can’t get over Warren not being involved.

Obviously the classic lineup was most authentic, followed by the version with Pearcy/Warren/Juan/Cavazo/Degrasso. Blotz and his scabs were least authentic.

How about the other versions though?

I gotta give Jizzy/Corabi Ratt the nod, due to the inclusion of Warren.

What say you?

I called Holmes on page 1 of the other thread. Unfortunately it was Joe, not Pete... so I was half right!

I saw them two nights ago. He always acts like that. He use to be a big meth head, hence the new teeth. Now, I don’t know if he’s back on something or if he’s just fried from past drug use. I don’t have enough drug experience to tell the difference. I will say they had two days off here (in Montreal...

I heard they were gonna swap it out for Want Some, Need Some. You should check You Tube, there’s probably footage.

Guns in a landslide. There's a reason they can still do stadiums, whereas BJ's appeal is waning. Guns were a global phenomenon. BJ not as much.

Blackie’s fat, and THE biggest asshole I’ve met in the music industry, but I gotta admit the band sounded good from the little bit of the clip I watched.

I'll take Theatre of Pain over GGG 7 days a week.

City Boy Blues!

Same here!

Frankly, not sure there are many North American festivals in that timeframe. Not to mention, no one is forcing the bands to sign the contracts, and they’re surely being paid well for the exclusivity.

Name five songs, considered good/great, that you loved at one point, but are so overplayed you can no longer stand them. Here are mine:

You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Silent Lucidity - Queensryche
Hot For Teacher - Van Halen
Still Of The Night - Whitesnake

Could not have been easy on him, watching his brother die....

Will be curious to learn the cause of death.

Regardless.. RIP.
