Re: Matt Sorum’s book - WTF?

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...

Re: Is Sambora Wasted Here? Interviewed By Billy Corgan

If you want a guy that can channel EVH playing in his style, tone etc., your two choices are Phil X and/or Pete Thorn. I do understand Alex and Steve are closer in age and will probably see eye-to-eye on the overall project, however, I think Wolfgang would put down the identical guitar style, tone,...

Re: No, wait. It's QUEEN. Everybody likes QUEEN. Right?

Their sound was unparalleled recording-wise. Probably the most meticulously recorded band since The Beatles. Brian May’s guitar tone is severely underrated. Roger Taylor’s drumming, also underrated. And good gosh - Freddie’s songwriting and arranging, again, Beatle-esque territory. They just don’t g...

Yes, great topic. I agree with all of your posts here. I often wondered about the true slow funeral for Hair Metal. I do think GnR were the start of it. But even before, I remember looking for alts to the mainstream and Thrash was it with that Punk influence - I remember picking up Metallica's Maste...

Saw the Dead there and just as others have said, it was unbelievably mind blowing.
