Good tune. Nice to hear them rocking again and Jon seems to have his voice back.

Love the first Kingdom Come album. Great White’ss One Bitten as well.

Fantastic band. Debut is a masterpiece. Too bad it imploded very quickly.

No one in the band has done anything as good since IMO.

Hard to find albums on vinyl

I am trying to locate Wildside - Under the Influence on vinyl.

Have only seen one before, very expensive, and was curious as to what other records are hard to come by.

When did they stop making LP’s for a lot of the hair bands?

Re: New L.A. Times Interview: Jon Bon Jovi

I haven’t seen the doc. Does it go into any details about how they got in touch with Desmond Child and then wrote together their biggest hits in Richies moms basement?

That’s the most intriguing part of their career for me.

Re: Detonator is Ratt's underappreciated MASTERPIECE

Didn’t Desmond Child have complete control over this?

Wrote all the songs, brought in heavy hitters like Jon BonJovi and Dianne Warren.

He was probably getting a lions share of the publishing too.

Good album!

Is he? A solo show. I would recommend going. I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t know what to expect and I usually don’t like instrumental shows. Eric Johnson was another show I enjoyed. He plays a lot of different guitars, banjos, ukuleles, bass and more. Lots of different styles. He doesn’t j...

Agreed.

And no Phil Collins? That’s ridiculous. He had more Top 40 hits than anyone else the entire decade of the 80s.

Unfortunately at this point, if the singer is the cause of all these cancellations- you’ve got to move on from him. I wonder how long the bad is going to keep him.

I'll go along with the basic premise of this thread. Guns n' Roses is the ultimate "greater-than-the-sum-of-their-parts" band. As soon as they made it big, they dismantled the main thing going for them (chemistry) piece by piece. They all released solo albums (and ChiDem is definitely Axl...
