Re: *POLL* Which 80s metal artist made the better power-pop album in the 2000s.

No Jabberwocky option?

Michael Sweet's self-titled debut was pop greatness. Although that was probably 90s. This was the last time he had niance to his voice and before all the doucheness

Re: Albums you returned/sold the quickest

First two Nitro discs. Picked them up out of the 'free to a good home' bin at a used record store, listened to them, and then sold them to a different record store the next weekend for like $1 each

Re: SKID HOPE ….. Baz: “It Doesn’t Make Any Sense We’re Not Together”, talks reuniting w/Skid Row on Get On The Bus

It would seem like, if they were willing to share the stage, a reunited Skid Row would help sell tickets on the Poison tour next year and at least play sheds. One would think they could manage 40 dates (even if they travel separately), it would make the fans happy, they would make decent money (i wo...

Re: Anyone hear the new Firehouse song yet?

They solved the download issue so I bit the bullet and made the dollar investment. It's actually pretty good, and sounds like Firehouse. Prime Time era Firehouse, but still. Chorus could be stronger and it takes a while to get going, but a solid Firehouse song in 2025 with a new singer. Will listen ...

Re: Anyone hear the new Firehouse song yet?

The song is called Mighty Fine Lady. You can supposedly download it from their music site for $1 but I couldn't get it to work. And I didn't want to have to sit through the entire Eddie Trunk interview to hear it.

Random Lexxi sighting

Was in Cleveland this weekend and stopped by the casino to see the Billy Morris (ex- Warrant and Tuff) band Sunset Strip (80s cover band), and Travis from Steel Panther is on bass. Guess that Hollywood Gods n Monsters is no longer a thing? He looked good for fresh out of 'sex rehab'

Re: Did you go to the Van Halen 3 tour?

Saw them at a shed near Cleveland. Place was pretty full. As mentioned, the set list was great - a good mix of Sammy and Dave era songs, including Dave songs Hagar rarely played (and no solo Sam). Gary had a lot of energy and the Band sounded great. That being said, he was an odd fit, and the crowd ...

Re: OOPS … Bolan on releasing ‘Slave To The Grind’ as a single; “Our biggest mistake… I disagreed with the decision”

Quicksand Jesus was not going to keep their female fanbase - not as good as the ballads on the debut and not a traditional love song. Going heavier on Slave was a conscious decision that was going to skew heavily male not matter what. For the direction they decided to go in, Slave was the better cho...
