Some descendent will sell off the demos "as is" long after most Van Halen nerds who'd care about 'em are dead. Just wait for Wolf to pilfer them for songs that can be credited "Van Halen - Van Halen - Van Halen" because he will change some words in them. Change a word, get a thi...

Old Dutch bibles and children's books? Used copies of Britannica?
If not as bad then at least not much better.

I stand by it.

I never liked Power Windows, but replace it with Counterparts and you have a solid run.
I'd also add the underrated Test For Echo, better than HYF if you ask me.

Metallica, Sabbath, VH and Cooper are all great choices.

Not mentioned yet: Queensryche: Warning to Empire.

A different choice of Depeche Mode: MFTM, Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, Ultra.

I've been to Gröna Lund, but what's the deal with the gigs there? Do they cost extra or are they free for who come to the amusement park? Most locals buy a season ticket for like SEK 400, then all gigs are included. But if you pay the regular entrance fee SEK 100 the show is included. But apparentl...

GO TO the 12:07 point. Edward says there's actually FOUR but only drops " Out of the Either " at the end of his answer and doesnt reveal the fourth songs title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVxhWX5kCFk From ultimateclassicrock: "The first two of these unheard outtakes from 1991′s F...

He's clearly too sick to have remained with SR. Im sure he is still in love with Snake and company but he can't even leave the house :D :D :D :D On another note, that song has always been super cringey. Not that the rest of their catalog isn't, but to hear a bunch of guys from Sweden sing about Nat...

VH and Europe

Tommy wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 9:26 pm Who Made Who is one of my favorite AC/DC songs. I'm probably alone on that, I just like it.

One of the best after BIB for sure. Inject the Venom is another one.

UUUUUGH There are three fully recorded and mixed songs that were left off this album : 1 The Wish 2 You Never Know 3 Out of the Either I was so excited thinking " wow , finally gonna hear those songs " NOPE - same old VH bullshit UUUGH You know, if those songs really exist, I'm pretty sur...

2nd best Y&T album after Ten.
Unfortunately, that's not saying much.

As good as the record was, the Born Again tour was a legendary disaster that served as a tableau for Spinal Tap and a catalyst for a DP MK II reunion. Some sources say the DP reunion was already a go when Gillan signed up for Sabbath. Gillan and Paice had to wait for the others to finish up with Ra...

That was cool and Europe kicked ass. Couldn't believe it when they kicked off with two of my favorite deep cuts On Broken Wings and Seven Doors Hotel and then went into one of their biggest hits Rock the Night. Was close to the stage and saw how they were having fun, even Norum who often looks like ...

Disappointing.

Makes sense as you don't like RH&H and FW. Those are more in line with their early albums.

Planet Panic and Undress Your Madness may be your thing then.

Valid point, in five years all these nostalgia acts will be dead. Eagles, Coop, Stones, Priest, enjoy it while you can. Either that or they’ll be all scabs and sons of the main guy. Don't count on it. The Stones are still touring and the only exception I can think of, a huge band that stopped witho...

Maybe so but he's fucking Biff Byford so I'm cool with it. Better than trying to screech notes he can't reach... Isn’t he a total deadbeat dad? Yes, Biff had 2 kids and was married and divorced when he was between 15 and 20 years old. The kids must be in their mid 50s now. Think someone here mentio...

Pretty Maids. Pandemonium (2010) and Motherland (2013) specifically. I thought their 80s and 90s stuff sucked so I wrote them off until recently. I will give them a listen. I, too, thought they sucked Wow. Someone who thinks Future World and RH&H suck but Pandemonium and Motherland are great, t...

Speaking of ex-Skid Row singers, Erik Grönwall got up on stage and sang Cherokee with Europe in Stockholm yesterday Thursday. Europe were great by the way, they are usually good live but this was the best of the 5 shows I saw in the last 10 years. Local band so they play here a lot

One of my favourite Poison songs. Flesh and Blood is their most consistent album overall. Agree. Can't believe how huge they must have been in the US. F&B was their peak in Europe too, Unskinny Bop got quite some rotation on MTV and Every Rose was a hit before that but they never made it bigger...

I remember seeing the video once. Not sure which channel but it was on a metal show as VVI Boyz Are Gonna Rock came on right after. First time I saw those videos. Maybe Power Hour on Sky?

One of the big bands I could never get into but I can make a top 10 of really good tracks:

In and Out of Love
Tokyo Road
Livin' on a Prayer
You Give Love a Bad Name
Lay Your Hands on Me
Born to Be My Baby
Bad Medicine
Keep the Faith
Dry County
Blaze of Glory
-

Why would you want to see such a previously virile and potent band full of wild feral energy reduced to this? Seriously. They sound like absolute dogshit, the stage is boring, corporate, dated, the setlist is utterly predictable, ticket prices are insane, what's left of the band are reduced to a sh...

UFO Thin Lizzy Really? I don't think UFO is underrated at all, in any incarnation! They always rock! And Thin Lizzy? Really? Jailbreak is one of the best albums of all time! There's no one on this planet that doesn't love The Boys Are Back In Town, and nobody who doesn't know it! And the rest of th...

let's not act like Phil has ALWAYS been there. He wasn't there for their commercial peak from 1983 to 1994 Wasn't most of the time Phil was away their commercial low point? Between the peak of HTH-BIB-FTATR and the revival with Razors Edge (which he wasn't on but still?) But yes, legal issues plus ...

I give the nod to 1980 as the greatest year in popular music, and I was 16 years old. The greatest year in popular music is always the year when you were 16... That would be 1999 for me. Definitely not! Lol Ok, it may be a generational thing then. If your 16th year was between say 1962 and 1992, it...

The 80s weren't all that great. Instead of ludes and free love, we got the War on Drugs and AIDS. Fuck Reagan. Add to that the Cold War in full swing and the post- Harrisburg/ Chornobyl nuclear panic. Not that great a decade but at least the economy was better than in the 70s. That said, those were...
