You make my point....

Smart move for him to give up that harsh, nasal tone that probably destroyed his voice. He actually has a really nice "normal" singing voice and it serves it well him in this very recent clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnYTHF3pROE BUT, and I know it's been commented upon before, but ...

I think this is the final show from the classic line up, from 1983.

Roger sounds great there. He announces he was his last show.
Does anyone know if he announced it beforehand? (And I thought they went to America after this show?)

MTV obviously went to Central casting to find extras to appear in the crowd. You know not one of those girls could name Ozzys infamous guitar player that was tragically killed back in 1982. nor could they name the title of a single solo Ozzy album.. I thought the same thing. There's no way the VMA ...

Thought it was nice of Tyler and Perry to pull Joey Kramer out of mothballs to play drums for this. That wasn't Joey Kramer. Pretty sure it was Kevin Figueiredo, Extreme's drummer. Ah, my bad, you're right. I guess all drummers from Boston look the same to me. I completely thought it was Joey as we...

What was their beef & why was it so extreme? Is there a definitive book about the band? I always liked their stuff and the Wiki page as me interested in learning further. The usual. Sick of touring, wanting to spend more time with his family, didn't feel the rest of the band shared his beliefs,...

Another band that broke up at the near-height of their powers and could never get past the acrimony.

Reminds me of PInk Floyd. Rick was the David Gilmour in the Supertramp story.

I don't know why, but Yungblud annoys me. Well, I do know why: it's that Adam Lambert-esque showboating over-the-top thing, that people think is Freddie Mercury-esque, but he always did it with a wink in the eye and (I think) understood it was ridiculous, at times. Although he has a good voice, Chan...

Guess no reunion.

Uh they did a whole reunion tour. It was kind of a big deal.

Uh... i know.

No re-reunion.

Ok, I still haven't been able to see a copy of the actual lawsuit complaint, but this is starting to make more sense. Interestingly, the rumors that have circulated for years that Sting actually gave Summers and Copeland 15% of his publishing (calling them "arranger's fees?") gratuitously...

He's a cunt.

You have poor reading comprehension.
(And I repeat: must be a joy in relationships. Scratch that: you likely have no relationships.)

I love Copeland's and Summers' contributions to these songs, and, in my personal world, they SHOULD have gotten partial credit because their contributions Nope. That would only be charity. Fuck off with your "nope." It's MY "personal world" -- I can do as I please. You must be a...

Couple observations: 1. Sting is a cunt. AND he is a great songwriter and a talented motherfucker. 2. Anyone saying Sting's solo career was insignificant or paltry compared to The Police is talking nonsense: he has had one of the longest and most successful solo careers of anyone leaving a big band....

Rudolph's reputation is a focused, Germanic business man who runs a professional organization. Man, how did Michael and Rudolph come from the same parents and household. Well siblings tend to want to differentiate. Michael complains about Rudolph's singular focus on business and success. But that j...

Now he's lost in oblivion . . . .

(too soon?)

Don't think this applies to Scorpions though. If they aren't multi millionaires something is very wrong... Yeah, Rudolph is known as a notoriously smart business guy. And although I don't have current access to their entire financial portfolio, I would be very surprised if the apparently level-head...

Besides becoming filthy rich, I always thought the decline came when he started getting therapy. He was able to step back and see where his cruelty came from and he lost his edge. Even though he was generally clueless about music, he had a keen insight on things and I agreed with his opinions on mo...

Not as long as there are gullible fans who will pay up for a ticket. It's their only income stream. Many of them have no choice. Which is weird at their age but I don't have any money saved up either so I ain't hating. Don't think this applies to Scorpions though. If they aren't multi millionaires ...

To me, the fact that he's holding the mic away from his face is proof that he's singing for real. When you're syncin', you want to keep that thing right in front of your lips, so people can't tell they don't match This is one of those rare instances where I would support lip synchin'. ....

Everybody making fun of Jackie needs to realize he MADE that show, basically. His quick wit was 90% of Howard’s “funny”. Jackie was a genius that lauded pretty low-key and allowed himself to be the butt of many jokes, but the show was NEVER the same without him. He MADE that show? That's ridiculous...

Jackie the Jokeman is one of the top candidates for all-time miscalculations of his career and his worth. He was offered in the range of $700,000 in the early 2000's but rejected it as an "insult!" And as eaten shit as a result every since and I'm sure he regrets it every fucking day. Clas...

It's awfully anyway you cut it.

THIS is the Klaus we should remember, not this immobile, geriatric monstrosity:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw7HHeb ... rt_radio=1

He's giving "doddering old man" a bad name....

Jesus Christ, does ANYONE know when it's time to hang it up?!

Sammy's response is proof positive of his narcissism (not that anyone needed that proof).

As others commented, all he read was "Sammy has a great voice" and idiotically thought Dave was giving an olive branch.
Dave is witty when he mocks others.

Saxon Innocence is No Excuse was complete drek, their sad attempt to make a 1980s "hit" album .... right into the bargain bin.

For how many years have been talking about what a train wreck this guy is and how little time he has left ....
