Re: Blackfoot’s “Strikes” - my review

First of a kickass three album run leading up to Highway Song Live, which is a fun, energetic, cocaine-fueled live record. I'd put "Highway Song" up in a short list of great southern rock anthems with "Green Grass and High Tides," "Simple Man," "Tuesdays Gone,"...

Re: Current band Straight out of NWOBHM 78-82. DANAVA

Good tune, has kind of a Blitzkrieg/Helpless/Witchfinder General vibe. Could've easily been released in '82.It would be really cool if they recorded in analog too (they might, idk?) to really capture that classic sound.

Re: Danzig looking a little Vince-y

His gut has gotten rounder within the past year for sure. This vid is just from 8 months ago here in Chicago...gut still there but maybe not QUITE as big? idk. Great song off the debut and he sounds pretty good here.

Re: Was 1994-1995 Danzig’s peak

Always loved the first 4 Danzig records, but I've also always been in the minority about thinking that 6:66 is and 777 are both solid. Sure, the industrial influence is still there but not as full bore as 5. There are some good songs on both those albums, IMHO.

Re: Covers where the lyrics are different...

I think Linda Ronstadt had a couple minor lyrical tweaks in her version of Tumbling Dice. I almost want to say Jagger even wrote them for her? Little foggy on that one but I remember something along those lines.

No one wants to hear a Foreigner deep cut
I'd be down to hear them do Tooth and Nail. Good album opener. And it'd have some subtle irony for Pilson.
