I think early 80s metal/rock will be similar to the 1930s blues - a major well of inspiration for all kinds of genres, but it will never be the same.
The right feel will die with that pool of musicians

No judgment! No judgment!

.... as if having the guy who wrote the music to Hill Street Blues producing was a good choice.

That’s a killer tune

It's actually "We're Stars".

But I can see how you made the mistake, as I dont know if they ever said that line in the song.

did it have a guitar solo?

Shocked

op is a f’d up individual

that Felder vid someone posted yesterday is embarrassing.

I don’t understand why anyone would even sit in the crowd for free.

The Ace stuff doesn’t sound good but at least it’s real.

Shark Island - sounded good. Black's voice held up, but taking 30 years off will do that. They played around 8 songs, with 3 covers and one newer song, which shows how weak the catalog is

Strange how Shark Island was a strip staple for long and barley have one album of material

LA Woman is their best album

Regardless of what allegedly happened between Rob and Jani, my answer to Chip’s question is yes. Priest could be populated entirely by tranny midget Rocky Dennis lookalikes and I’d still crank “Breaking the Law”, “Victim of Changes”, “You Got Another Thing Coming”, “Turbo Lover”, “Painkiller”, “Exc...

there is no fair price.
You price it up until people stop buying and then lower it until they do

Always been a Petty/Mellencamp/Seger guy, but never Bruce. Definitely respected him but could never get past how campy and earnest his stuff is. Bought a ticket to the Chase Center SF show a year ago thinking “go see what the big deal is once while I still have the chance”, it got postponed, and I ...

isn’t that why they quit?

They need to get back together.
But I doubt Bach can refrain from making a big deal out of it on stage.
Look how bad he hammed it up bringing Michael Sweet on stage - you’d think Israel & Palestine made up.

Glenn has always been a dork. I always thought of Rob as the dorky element of the band. Especially when you compare him to somebody like Bruce Dickinson. And I thought Glenn was like the cool one. No matter where you stand on that I think everyone has to admit he is a way underrated guitarist and s...

It does seem like a very disingenuous and misleading claim on the ad.

He's literally the other voice of Ratt.

Yes, Juan sings way more than people realize - lots of cool, interesting parts in there

Bob Dylan is an excellent singer

yeah, the whole “I’m talking to you young buck!” is cringe.
He should have made his statement and quit instead of doubling down

In the back n forth between Stevie & Roy, I actually agree with both. Both are in bands that I like alot & both guys are very confident & outspoken fellas. No question that a major riff between the 2 is from Rock N Skull promoter Justin, whom Roy was very close with (I was good friends ...

Wembley Arena is 12,500 capacity. It’s not Wembley Stadium. I know, but they aint playing 12,500 seat arenas in america. They did play 16k capacity Nassau Coliseum on the Firepower tour but yes looking at setlist.fm they seem to play some seriously small places in the US. Not ony venues but towns. ...

It is a competent recording. I was actually surprised how much of what you're hearing was guitar. I used to think it was just strings with very little to no guitar playing. Then DADGAD came in kicked me in the nuts, took a dump in the corner, and walked out of the room leaving me doubled over in pa...

Cold Sweat was a good band with the guitarist from Keel.

This guy ain’t wrong.
“Tribute” bands are lame & borderline mental illness.
If there’s a gimmick (Iron Maidens, dred zeppelin) it’s different.
But that’s usually from a comic/ironic angle

and if the troll boot fits…

Bonham’s ‘wait for you’ is another cop

But they're still pretty great compared to one trick pony AIC

They should be allowed to kick all the phones, out of the hands of anyone recording video in the first 10 rows. You can't see fuck all over these idiots with their phones up the whole show. Really?

AIC is the better, more creative band.
But like the guy above said, it’s pretty one note.

I rarely want to be in that head space.

As far as AIC connected music, I’d choose Mad Season

Yes.
Phil needs to learn from Halford

Watched the video - he barely did anything.
