Love the whole album, but my go tos are the title track and Shackler's.

It's a genuinely great effort, but it never had a chance due to how long it took and people wanting AFD part 2.

How the fuck can you do Love/Hate without Jizzy? Is this like Jon Love's Love/Hate or something?

Wikipedia doesn't have anything about it.

I mean.... 1) He's actually singing all the words, just in a lower key, like he's done for years now 2) He's on time, he's not early or late, so it doesn't seem like he's specifically out of it 3) He's acknowledging the crowd, so it seems like he knows what's going on Would I pay to see it? No, of c...

Shes been out of Burning Witches for years. She joined Crypta after that and has been out of that band for a long time too. She does her own band Cobra Spell which is less thrash metal than the previously mentioned bands and is more Glam Rock. I give her credit since Cobra Spell does seem to tour p...

Seriously. The band is tight as fuck. As much as I like Satriani as a player, Estrada is much better at getting that Ed sound out.

There are reports that there was maybe 1,500 people there at most in a venue that holds 15,000. Supposedly nobody was there. I haven't found any photos but it's being discussed on the Van Halen forums. Dave looks good (for being 70 and, well, being Diamond Dave), but he still sounds horrible. I thi...

Hot For Teacher. Roth gives some added detail to the Henry Rollins Beer story.

I'm going to guess at least two more Andrew Watt records and picture disc re-releases of the catalog.

Did a damn fine job.

I’m not familiar with the rights to the band. Who was in control of the rights before Dubrow got it bacK? Seems like when they broke up in 1989, DuBrow still had a claim to the band name, even though he'd been fired, so he was able to take Banali, Cavazo and Sarzo to court. I assume there was some ...

Black Stuff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 6:53 am Is that the album with Jizzy singing?

No, that's "10".

Down to the Bone is the second album released after DuBrow got the rights back to the band name in the mid 90s.

Sounds like Def Leppard. I've heard a lot worse out of the "old rockers singing about rocking" genre. Pretty good, Richie. Yeah, it does sound very Def Leppard, but I like it better than when Tesla went that route with Shock. Certainly more interesting than anything Bon Jovi has released ...

Marvelous 3 "Ready Sex Go" and his solo album "Left of Self Centered" was the pinnacle of his career........and what was that, almost 30 years ago? From "Letters" to today has been throwaway drivel..... And Southgang rules! He also produced one of Sevendust's best albu...

He's been doing that for a few years now. Saw him at the Chicago Theater, and it was like, "Holy shit, he's coming in from the alley by the garage!"

It made no sense for Tyler to be there at all. He and his band have nothing to do with Sabbath and metal. He was there as a giant in the industry paying tribute to another giant in the industry. It was showing respect for him to take time out of his life to fly to another continent and perform at a...

I’d like to hear the autotuned version, I can’t find it on YouTube. I thought he sounded decent on the non autotuned clips except for the “Mama” song. All the rips from the transmission that I downloaded from YT on Sunday morning were gone by lunchtime thanks to the copyright lawyers. There are sup...

Ozzy was auto-tuned for the pay per view live stream.

Understood, but that's still singing, it's not miming to backing tracks.

I thought it was an excellent, well managed production that featured a ton of different bands playing LIVE. Not a bunch of prerecorded bullshit like Motley and Kiss. Maybe they cleaned up a few things here and there between the live performance and the tape delay, but you can still clearly see live ...

Right... and while some may think it's not anymore complicated than having a guy from the U.S., they're nuts! $tEvil To your point, in the current political climate, I wouldn't want any part of any job that requires leaving the country, ESPECIALLY if you're not a citizen. It's just not worth it. I'...

Hakk Mild is nowhere near Jake... I'll take Ultimate Sin over any Ozzy album with Hakk. I give him credit for being loyal to Ozzy and respecting his elders. His appearance makes me think he still drinks but by all accounts, he doesn't. He seems ok with Pantera I just don't like the down tuning with...

Axl still sounds so damn good on the lower register stuff. Little surprised they didn't do Dead, Jail or Rock N Roll.

Looks like they did Sabbath Bloody Sabbath again, I wonder if anyone recorded it.

Has anyone picked Motley Crue yet? I could see them possibly refusing to play unless they were going to get paid.

I dunno, I think they were tighter with Ozzy. Tommy specifically posted about Ozzy after the show in a very nice way.

Not surprised. When Taylor Hawkins passed, a bunch of his drummer friends went on record (including Matt) about how difficult it gets to play hard rock drums into older age. Then in recent years I read things like Charlie Benante warms up his hands for 45-60 minutes before he plays, Lars does 90 mi...

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. Because it's a massive step down from the previous four albums. No More Tears, a step down from No Rest For The Wicked and The Ultimate Sin? You su...

Literally anyone would have been better than Joe Holmes. I still don't understand how he got the gig, unless he just happened to be the person that was around when Sharon wanted Zakk to fuck off.

another rich kid cosplaying as a sleazy rocker. many such cases. I didn't know he had money growing up, but looking at it, says he was from Great Neck, and supposedly it's rich around there? /shrug He's produced a ton of hits, so unfortunately, he gets to hobnob with the stars, and Ozzy likes him b...

Stop smoking angel dust, it's very bad for you.

Were any of the other bands "on tour"? I assumed that everyone else were just fly ins, since it's festival season.

I immediately thought Manson, Danzig, Reznor, or Grohl.

Not Manson, he did a tribute on the show.

However, haven't seen Rob Zombie's name mentioned yet. Could see either him or the SOAD guys.

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 ...
