Man that vocalist is good. Seriously underrated.

Nonsense-but-not-nonsense goes to Extreme's "Play With Me" from the Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure soundtrack. Ironically some of the least cringeworthy lyrics from this band when you realize they are all about childhood games, and it actually comes off pretty clever, combined with a ...

"Everybody Wants Some" from VH has some utter gibberish in the middle.

"Jesus Built My Hotrod" owns this thread.

Rush

Pearl Jam - 10 -> Vs.

Jeez he looked like Biden up there.

No damn farewell tour. Just stop.

Mustaine is lucky to be alive. I can't imagine what his 60s are like.

Oh come now, nothing? There's gotta be a few more.

Brent Smith

As opposed to the musicians thread, who are the dirtbags of the business? Besides Sharon. Mark Sokol -- I encountered him once and was disgusted with how predatory he was. It has to be an open secret because Metallica mentioned him in their liner notes once as "The God of Love." Love had n...

Generally yes, but there are many exceptions - Rush and Motörhead stayed true and maintained quality as long as they made records and toured, and Judas Priest made a return to form after three decades (!!) of mediocrity - from Ram it Down (1988) and until Firepower (2018).... Rush strayed from thei...

Made me wonder. Maybe it was not a grunge that killed hair metal. Maybe it was this movie. That theory has been proposed many, many times on music boards, including The Velvet Rope, which was full of industry people. The Velvet Rope! Do you remember Courtney's hilarious rambling posts? She was coo-...

I maintain that scene is staged. I don't care how drunk you are, vodka in the eyes is gonna be painful as fucking hell.

https://rockcelebrities.net/bon-jovi-drummer-tico-torres-rumored-to-quit-the-band/ Rumors are circulating on social media suggesting that longtime Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres may have retired from the band. No official confirmation has been provided, reports from Mitch Lafon indicated. Music journa...

The singer from Gunshine would be my choice.

The man turned down gigs in Zeppelin and Deep Purple and lived to NOT regret it. English rock star Terry Reid, who once turned down offers to front Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, has passed away. He was 75. Reid’s UK rep confirmed the shocking news in a statement to the Guardian on Tuesday, August 5....

This is sure to cause some heartburn in metal circles.

Their first two albums had a great southern rock feel. their cover of "Simple Man" is tremendous. "The Sound of Madness" is brilliant, and "Amarylis" had some moments. After that it became formulaic. Anyone who voted they have no soul needs to listen to this: https://ww...

The CEO has nothing to say? That's a first.

So I stumbled upon a 4 part documentary of sorts on TikTok on our favorite Website and the evil genius behind it. See it here.

The four clips with NOT DEAD YET plastered across them make up the doc.

CEO, how accurate is all this?

Yup, nothing compares to a South American audience.

She has been using Ozempic and that turns people into corpses.

Just saw a TikTok video of 77 yo Jeff Lynne stopping a show and being helped off the stage.

Someone is gonna die on stage real soon, I just know it.

CEO, give this kid Jeff's email now

I either didn't know or didn't remember about Kotzen. (Here's a story with more -- https://bravewords.com/news/richie-kotzen-on-almost-joining-ozzy-osbournes-band-there-was-this-huge-blow-back-on-an-aol-thread/) He's one of my favorite guitarists, but he's not the kind of guy who plays others' solo...

I agree that it wasn't good for his physical health as a drummer, especially a drummer who played like he did, but I don't know if he would have done it any other way. Apparently, for his mental and emotional health, riding his motorcycle made touring bearable. Kind of like therapy, especially for ...
