Chances are Sharon would have fired Randy had he lived. From all accounts randy wanted to do other things as well so she likely would have canned him just as she did most others. Yeah, randy and Bob were the primary songwriters, but that didn't stop her from firing Jake and Bob either... On another ...

If RR had actually gone back to school to get a degree in classical guitar he would have been out of the professional music game for a few years at least - he only had a high school GED as I recall, so he would have needed to first get a BA then go for a Masters. That is about 6 years of college, u...

I never owned any, but older kids in the 'hood had some of the Alice Cooper/Band records & I knew Eighteen, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Schools Out from the radio. Trash absolutely helped, but The Man Behind the Mask song teed it up for Trash. With all that being said, has AC ever had a successful ar...

That's because Paul doesn't need girlfriends.

I think the crucial part for Paul would have been them being famous.

I went with Gene. Paul considers himself the most important part of Kiss, but he has always been in the shadow of Gene in the public eye. Ask someone in the general public about Kiss and they will say the guy with the tongue. Gene had the famous girlfriends, Paul did not. Gene did movies, Paul was p...

Yeah, it sure raised his profile world wide. He was on MTV again and was able to play bigger places. I saw the Raise your fist and yell tour here in the Netherlands and he was playing a big gymnasium. I went with my nephew and he literally had gym class there 2 days before the concert. Now, this was...

I'd rather have seen a 25 minute Slade reunion than most of the other bands. That would have been much more English and of the same period as Sabbath.
Plus hearing Merry Christmas in Birmingham in a stadium in July summer time? Gold....

He drove the tour bus for 2 days to get home. He actually drove the tour bus himself to get home? That kinda sounds fun! You’re driving the bus of a pretty big band at the time, all alone, as a member of the band, across the country. He gets to stop at burger king’s across the country to take a pis...

This topic made me read his book. He seems somewhat delusional. He refers to Sonic Temple as 'our' album that is racing up the charts, whilst he did not play on it and was only hired as the touring drummer. Then he says the cult started him on 1500 a week, raised it to 3000 a week and finally to 500...

I like the hhc gummies. I think it's like a synthetic thc or something. The website I buy it from also incl a freebie baggie of some synthetic marihuana called Huffman or something. They gave me like half a gram. It's a brown powder. I researched it and you're supposed to use like 5 or 10 milligrams...

But... again, I understand the age factor is huge! Look at Ozzy. Legend... but a sad grim reality. $tEvil I really wonder what condition Ozzy would be in today if hadn't crashed that quad-bike in 2003 when he nearly died. It seems like that and the subsequent neck/back surgeries is what truly screw...

But No More Tears is the best Ozzy album without Randy... Stop smoking angel dust, it's very bad for you. Why? He's not wrong. And I'd argue it's Ozzy's best album, period, but that's not because of Zakk necessarily, it's because Lemmy wrote half the songs. Lemmy did not write any songs nor vocal m...

Richie has been pretty candid over the years that he had zero respect for Poison at the time, and didn't bother to learn the solos to the songs before his audition. He had a massive ego and surely he thought CC sucked and (wrongly) thought he could improve on the solos. ....and yet, somehow they st...

It's a real shame, Nuno even had to do the solo in Ultimate Sin, whilst Jake said beforehand he could still play that one and especially liked that solo.
Jake is so much better than Zakk, both playing wise and as a live performer.

Goddamn, if only they had asked Jake E Lee to do the Ozzy set, even if he wasn't 100% due to arthritis.
I fucking hate how Zakk plays the stuff.....

Pitch Correction or not, Ozzy sounded far better than he had a right to, and he was not lip syncing. If he could perform this well, I really don't understand why he didn't do anything at the RRHOF. Honestly, no one was, all day. It was pretty fucking refreshing to actually see an entire day of LIVE...

Lol, Jake E Lee was too late going on stage.
Exactly the reason he got fired almost 40 years ago, always showing up for rehearsal hours late...

I’ve only watched 6 or 7 songs but so far from what I’ve seen Yungblud has been the only one to be close to being in key. He doesn’t really fit in the metal scene and is pretty goofy but he nailed changes. Steven Tyler did good too.. Ghost dude, Lzzy Hale, and Ugly Old Man Joe were pretty underwhel...

Wolfgang seems like a stretch to even be involved to begin with. Shit even VH is a bit of a stretch. Was Eddie/VH BIG Sabbath fans? Or played Sabbath covers early on? They did play sabbath covers in their club days. Then Sabbath took van Halen out on their first world tour and even though van Halen...

And why the fuck does Jake E Lee need another guitar player to play his 2 Ozzy songs?
It's bad enough he can't do Bark at the moon, but now there is Nuno playing along on the 2 songs he can do...

I used to watch his weekly Monsters of Rock show on Sky television. All the bands would do interviews on that show. I tried to read a couple of his books, but despite writing for Kerrang for years, his book were dreadful and also riddled with mistakes. I isn't mentioned here he spent years as a hero...

Gene Simmons fucked Cher. Does that make him gay like Geffen?

Obviously...
That's why gene always immediately pivots to say he was also seeing Diana Ross when he is asked about Cher...

I love Melissa and Don't break the oath.
Really evil and very technical metal for that time.

I wish he would have talked at least a bit more about Iron Maiden 1985-1993 It's pretty clear in his book that by the time the power slave tour was done he was tired of iron maiden and Steve Harris dictatorship and just tuned out and persued other interests... That seems quick. NOTB - Hey, you're n...

That’s not the point at all. People are buying the book because they want to know about the bands and the music. What percentage of people buying Dickinson’s book give a fuck about planes? Sure put that stuff in but it shouldn’t be the focus. Unless it’s called Bruce Dickinson Presents His Aeronaut...

I think his whole book deal was contingent on the book being about him being gay.
The publisher decided that was the marketing angle to sell books on.
It's ridiculous, nobody back then gave two shits Rob was gay and no, it wasn't some big secret either.
