Re: Natural talent vs. hours of practice
Me when I tell someone I play guitar... https://i.imgflip.com/9w70pp.jpg Hahaha. Me too. I was the vocalist when I played out, so I mainly played rhythm and a few licks. I can't solo for shit. Since then, I've probably played only once in 10 years. I lost the desire. After 35+ yrs of touring/giggin...

Trustworthy, nice guy but knows how to crack down on bullshit (like bootleggers), no drama, gets audited but comes out clean, etc.
That's who I want!
So essentially a Kung Fu Jew? That's the guy I want too.

Re: Is Kevin Bacon a good actor?
For some strange reason it really is. It's one of those weird movies like Roadhouse that should have sucked but was pretty good.

Re: This SANS MARS Crue is just... depressing
John always struck me as awkward on stage with Manson, Zombie, or the Crue. Not a big fan of his. Does he come from a session background? Seems better to not be seen. He moves like a guitar teacher . Alex Skolnik and Marty Friedman look awkward on stage in the same way. Dorky. He's a rich kid with ...

Stevie thank you for this site. It's the last fun place on the web. For real.
I admire you for staying clear of drugs. They didn't take me or anyone I know anywhere good.
Keep rockin brother I'll always be a fan.

That WAS weird how Twisted Sister had both guitarists on one side like Mendoza's bitches. That shows you how little charisma and chops they had combined.

Jesus Christ what a narcissist. I know Sammy's always been full of himself, his book was one of the most surface level, me me me, out of touch with reality Rock Bios I've ever read. I'm sure dealing with The Brothers Van Halen wasn't always pleasant but he's making up scenarios and writing scripts ...

Re: Poll: Do you like Hagar's new EVH inspired song?
The video is odd. The Eddie guy they got was too tall or something. The whole thing felt off. But...I will admit the more times I hear this tune I kind of dig it. It's hella predictable but it kind of works for what it is.

Lynch should get a mention, IMO. He really should. Around the time of Wicked Sensation his chops were just SHIT HOT.

Vito was so good and that solo was like he channeled EVH, Eric Johnson and Mozart all in one moment. Breathtaking and easily in my top 5 solos of all time by anyone.

I can't get a decent vibrato on my voice or my guitar playing. Some of us just suck.
