Re: How much did Trash help Alice Cooper?

I'm actually surprised Trash didn't sell more. Poison was a massive song. Alice's manager Shep Gordon deciding it was best to not allow Desmond Child to produce the next album was an absolutely massive mistake. "Hey Stoopid" has some great material, but it's missing that big hit Desmond C...

Re: The Cars - Vocals

I'll also say I really enjoyed Todd Rundgren in The New Cars as I thought his voice was a nice blend of both Orr and Ocasek's vocals. A few years ago I saw Rundgren walking around on my street as I think he was lost and I said "hey I really enjoyed you in The New Cars" and he looked at me ...

Re: The Cars - Vocals

I liked Ben in The Cars and as a solo artist. I thought 'Just What I Needed' was Ric for years, until we covered the song 15 years ago. Then I learned. There are alot of Orr unreleased tracks on You Tube that I assume were going to be a follow up to The Lace but it never came to fruition. Some of t...

Re: AIR INDIA AIRLINER CRASH ... 290 Confirmed Dead, includes dozens on the ground and 1 Guy Survived!

Just watched a video from a retired pilot and he thinks the co pilot instead of putting the landing gear up hit the flaps lever in the wrong direction instead and the flying pilot had maybe 5 seconds to fix the mistake. That's the scariest thing about flying to me still, one mistake by experienceed ...

Re: Black Sabbath are BACK! For 1 night only.

We’re going see Ozzman go full Valli. Going to be grim, dudes. This is sadly, probably a good analogy. I think Ric Flair's Final Match is probably also a good comparison. If it's really Ozzy wanting to do this one last thing, and there's money going to charity, then it's probably a good thing that ...

Re: We need to talk about Hot in the Shade. (Yes. We do.)

My opinion: they really hurt themselves with the audience when doing "Let's Put the X in Sex" the year before. Not only was it a pretty bad song, but it was "cringe-y." I was graduating high school around that time, and I remember having gotten back into Kiss with Lick It Up (al...

How does she prove this? Obviously nobody knows the truth, outside of these 2 people. Not defending him, but he could be 100% innocent here and she was willing, ready and able on her own. In his own admission, I believe he's already said he was with her, but claims it was consensual, and he also st...
