I can't wait to read all the "We're going to miss you" and "Please, one more tour" comments! And the million dollar question is... Does Kip Winger end up doing solo shows but not as Winger? I call B.S. on a full retirement from Rock... but we shall see. $tEvil Yeah, Kip's not do...

The AdSense bot wouldn’t allow it, unfortunately.

No. They may not have been the most technically proficient guitarists, but they fit Twisted Sister’s sound, and if you’re a TS fan, that’s about all you can ask for, isn’t it?

Because this isn't Grunge Sludge.

I like both Skid Row and Soundgarden, but vocally I prefer Bach.

I dunno. It’s a solid album, but I personally think Don beats out George with Up From the Ashes.

Yeah, after 461 he really lost his way. Slowhand is a good record but WT 🤮. I don't blame him for his 80s records, Phil Collins was busy ruining everything that decade. Guess I'm one of the few here who likes 80's Phil Collins and Genesis. It might not be ballsy, but it's great polished pop. I actu...

Clapton. Went from ballsy bluesy hard rock to limp dick shit like Wonderful Tonight. And most of the songs weren't even good, the man was just poor at songwriting.

Yeah shit Rush doesn't even like Power Windows. But I do. What, a guy can't enjoy Rush's often mocked new wave synth era? Acquired taste departures that the band later disavowed are not "perfect". Say Moving Pictures. C'mon. You can do it. I already included MP. Yeah, I admit Power Window...

There are way too many "favorites" in this thread. Dog Eat Dog? Power Windows? Y'all be trollin'.

Well, Stevil, thoughts on Jerry Jones dumping Micah Parsons and sending him to Green Bay? Bet you’re looking forward to seeing what he can do for the Packers on defense!

You mean the money spent to keep Russia from rolling through the Ukraine and on to Europe? The money to fight the free world's tyrannical, murderous enemy? That money? There's other government money that could easily be used to assist with mental illness of course. How about the "trillions&quo...

For the same money potato Joe sent to Ukraine, alone, we could have built several state-of-the-art mental institutions in each state. This madness will continue as long as we continue to celebrate mental illness instead of treating it. Had enough yet, America? https://media.tenor.com/dafrUXrMOIQAAA...

I know Ham Stroker is a huge fan of Wormrot, who are from Singapore. Have you heard of them before, Huey?

Just thought of another perfect album: The Big Lad in the Windmill by It Bites. Perfect blend of new wave, prog rock, and power pop. Calling all the heroes!

And meanwhile our government does absolutely jack diddly to help the mentally ill and prevent guns from getting into their hands.

While I’m at it, I’ll also add DL’s Hysteria. It’s just so perfectly polished and produced with that signature Mutt Lange sound.

Forgot about this one. Aja is indeed a perfect album.

Maybe some of Testament and Overkill whenever they come out with a new album, plus the occasional Frontiers melodic hard rock stuff.

Fat_Elvis wrote: ↑Mon Aug 25, 2025 11:57 am I call it hair metal. I don't give a shit if it upsets Eddie Trunk or Bach or whoever. It's an easy label that people understand.

Same. I have no problem calling it hair metal.

All great bands (with the exception of Pariah whom I'm not as familiar with), but of these I'll go with Slik Toxik. The Canadian Skid Row, and Doin' the Nasty is just perfect sleaze.

Zeppelin. They (mainly Plant) knew when to stop. I think that had a whole lot to do with record sales and radio airplay. Led Zep had no money concerns to entice them to tour. They were constantly on the radio throughout the 80s and 90s generating income and then when CDs came out they were still se...

Duran Duran - “Hungry Like the Wolf”

A goddamn new wave classic this one is.

2025 country simultaneously blows chunks and sucks major dong. Hell, pretty much all country music has since sometime in the early-to-mid 90's, IMO. Gimme the older stuff. That's where I get lost. Country doesn't need me to have its back, but the moment somebody says it all sounds the same, there's...

Cautiously optimistic Falcons fan here who thinks we may finally have some help at defense and O-line. We'll see if we can break a curse and have a winning season for a change.

Go buy a car from Mattley while you’re there and catch a Bills game. That’s all I got.

Maybe it was when Jerry Tarkanian was coaching Rebels basketball.

Mojo's the tall one, right? He's said on here that he's pretty tall in real life, IIRC.
