Great question. Love stuff like this. Cheap Trick - "Don't Be Cruel" comes to mind, although Bun E. Carlos is smacking the hell out of those things... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-oYFEXScEU Not exactly "rock" but I thought George Michael's "Kissing a Fool" had bru...

Hear me out. Poison was riding high on album #3. Had a couple top-5 singles with "Unskinny Bop" and "Something To Believe In"... Then they released the "Ride The Wind" video while on the road. Huge tour. Huge video. But I think this is the moment they started to roll d...

I still remember when a friend emailed it to me and said “Here’s the new KISS song. It sucks dick.” I always thought of that as th...

Save "Bang Bang You" and "Good Girl Gone Bad" for leg day.

I think pieceofme knows 1987 was my year. Having my parents drive my 13-year-old ass around while I played Slippery, Crazy Nights, and Girlsx3 on the car stereo. Looking back, that Motley Crue album was lewd as fuck, but it was "okay" because they didn't swear. Although I always turned do...

Going off on a tangent here, but did anyone blast social disease really loud the first time they played the record so their parents could hear. And then feel awkward due to the intro. I reckon this happened to Mister Freeze. 100%. I remember my dad driving my friends and I around. We played Slipper...

At least a few of these people are media guests or crew - especially the singles who aren't wearing Kiss swag. Bands like Kiss have handlers who bring them enough people for these meet-and-greets to feel important. As bored as they look, Gene and Paul would be truly sour if they showed up backstage...

Listen, these people need a place to sit down and let their food digest after an early-bird casino special of veal parmesan, a salad and the first glass of Chardonnay included.

This is the most accurate description of Slash's Snakepit I've ever seen.

The year Van Halen added keyboards. That would be 1980, sir. "And the Cradle will Rock" had Eddie playing a Wurlitzer piano through his Marshalls. Yeah yeah yeah, and Sunday Afternoon and Dancin' in the Street... but Jump was the 1st time that the melody was on a keyboard, and there were ...

This is the exact kind of song these guys should be doing at this point. Although the production sounds like it's run through a computer (like everything these days). The verses follow the Mom Jovi single format: two measures of singing, followed by two measures of music, repeat. ("Have a Nice...

Vince seems sedated...barely gets a sentence out. Weird. I've noticed in the recent Motley interviews that Vince does seem sedated, or just very low energy. He's not quite slurring his words but it seems like that could happen at any second. He just seems very off. I've met Vince a few times during...

Zero, spare for one independent Great White release my out-of-touch brother "gifted" me a few years ago. I never previously owned a Great White album, but I'll forever be "high school metal guy" I suppose. My massive collection from back in the day is stored in boxes in my paren...

Here's the Billboard 200 for the week the Bonham album peaked: https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/1988-12-16/ You could argue this is the commercial high-point of metal. Just look at the top-10 alone. You had a lot of fans who went record shopping on a regular basis, who might buy somet...

Paul Stanley will die before Peter Criss, and it will drive the Starchild's ghost absolutely batshit in the afterworld.

"Radar For Love ... Radar For Love" ...

You’re using half-assed semantics.

No, I'm not. Words have meanings.

You're the one misusing a specific word as a blanket term to cover situations that don't apply.
