Every song created by Stone Temple Pilots (and I say this as a big fan of STP).

Re: Recreating Monsters of Rock Tour w/ Tributes

I always put the Rush & Pink Floyd tribute band shows on my calendar with the intention of going, then I bail when the time comes. There's also a couple Fleetwood Mac ones that come through, which I would enjoy, probably. Is that picture of "Hugo"? If so, I've seen him & yea, he s...

Re: MICHAEL SWEET of STRYPER ... Is mad at me again, I guess I hurt his feelings with my Recent Post on social media

I have the same thought reading this that I had in 1988, "How can people actually like Stryper?" I just don't understand it, and never have. Annoying oversinging with preachy lyrics. Awful.

Wow! If I had to choose who is worse live, Vince or Don, it would be toss up. You can tell that Vince's band is working extra hard to bring the energy since Vince clearly can't/won't.

Re: Fast Food mobile apps

The Domino's one is decent. They send out a lot of deals through the app. I also like the Qdoba one. I think the McDonalds one gets you the best deals, though.

Re: What decade of your life did you enjoy the most so far?

This is a tough question. I guess I would go with my 20s. The beginning of it was spent in college, hanging out with my best friends every day and having a blast. I then started a career and made some good new friends. My 40s would have probably been my answer, as most it was awesome, but both of my...

The first thing I do when I get into my seat and buckle up is put my earbuds in and start listening to music. Maybe Ted should do that instead of being a douche and yelling at a one year old.

Re: Hair bands you loved in the 80s but now can't stand/are indifferent to them.

Motley Crue. They were by far my favorite band in high school, seeing them four times on their Feelgood tour. I never choose to listen to them now, ever, and often avoid listening to them by changing the channel when a song of theirs comes on. I don't do that for any other band I liked in the 80s.

Back in high school I got dragged to the Club MTV tour at Summerfest in Milwaukee. This tour had Information Society, Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam, Was (not Was), Milli Vanilli, Tone Loc, and Paula Abdul. I was not happy about going, but it was actually a pretty good time.

Saw him a couple of years ago and he was great. Will pass on this. OMC2 was terrible. The OMC2 songs definitely slowed the show down, but he did a good job of breaking them up with Empire songs. The downside for me is the one song that I actually like on OMC2, The Hands, was not one of the OMC2 son...

There were a lot of factors in the music shifting in the early 90s. I entered college in the fall of 1990, and pretty much only listened to metal. Going to house parties in dumpy basements of upper classmen, from different places than where I grew up, opened my ears to a wide variety of music. The o...
