As a Gen-Xer, being a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s was the best. I can't say much more than others have mentioned. We were feral in the 70s, and generally small town life was safe enough to be out running around town from morning to night, going to arcades, oogling high school chicks at the...

And let's not forget having the bass and drums re-recorded on BoO and DoaM just to spite Bob and Lee out of what was due to them...cunty...

I'm sure you've all heard Nuno's story about being offered the Ozzy gig in '95. How do you think he would've done with Ozzy? He obviously rips on the old stuff, but what kind of original material do you think he would've brought to the table? Would he have adapted to Ozzy's more gothic style or wou...

I'm not a huge fan of The Cars, but I even knew as a 12ish year old in 1982 that Ben and Rik sang...I guess it was seeing them on various TV shows...
The Cars will always be the sound track of the roller rink!

I was watching an interview with Don Dokken from a couple weeks ago. His voice is notably gone and he's in his 70s but he still smokes cigs! I have a friend that said he talked to Don for several late night hours on one of those rock cruises. Don basically chain smoked the entire time and talked ab...

If you were lucky enough to have MTV around 82, it was hard rock/metal heaven. It was before the time of dedicated shows and you'd see hard rock/metal videos all day mixed in with everything else. Early videos by Triumph, Krokus, Ozzy, Def Leppard (they had quite a few off Pyromania), Quiet Riot, Ni...

They suffered from the Christopher Cross Syndrome.
Great talent, but not easy on the eyes; the early video age, where image was everything, was not good for them...

This show was so boring, I had forgotten I had seen this tour...

I was let down, but not from the point of thinking they were selling out. It just sucked... It was that time period when some bands either tried to have a futuristic/scifi image or really glammy (like Ulitmate Sin Ozzy) What lost me is the overuse of synths/keyboards in the music...they just overdid...

This version is lifeless...
The drums are just too mechanical with no feel...

Also did the original KK’s Priest shows but dropped out when they did the first album, sadly. When I heard Les was involved with KKs new band, I had hopes they'd write at least some more classic sounding JP songs similar to SC and HBFL. But no, every song was cliche paint-by-number metal boring-nes...

From only 4 years before: https://youtu.be/ADWG6EXrbcE?si=edrf5c6yVKgoJH_W They're lucky that Nielsen was too coked-out to care at the time. For years, I've heard people say TDtM is a rip off of ST. The songs don't sound anything alike and besides have a repeating half step slid (ST is based on tha...

Poison's first album was a low budget rush job on an indie label. Mötley's first was self released. Makes zero sense that they would pay ghost writers or musicians back then. They just got lazy or ran out of ideas after a couple of albums. Poison flat-out lifted other people's songs for their debut...

I say the same exact thing when describing modern country

I've been saying it for several years now, but I fully believe that Diamond Dave has Parkinson's and it has affected his voice and his hand movements. He often employs the hand in the pocket trick. Watch his right hand in this video. Yeah, the wobbling right arm is VERY noticeable. I know people we...

The only thing that 'bugs' me is that the drummer must have only had 1 cymbal...drives me crazy to hear the same cymbal over and over when I tune in on it...

Proves Bhad has the goods when it comes to rapping.

Celebrity only takes you so far. There's a reason Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Kim K, and other celebs music careers failed.
Their music was bad and bhad's music is good!

OF money can also buy you views...

I originally thought he was lip syncing the QotR scream...but I pulled up several vids from the last year...they seem to be slightly different and some better than others...so it appears he's pulling it off live...

RUSH used sequencers for background vocals, some rhythm electric and acoustic guitar parts, some percussion parts, and a lot of keyboard/synth parts. Geddy, Alex, and Neil would set off the sequencers. Rush had a guy backstage doing something with a keyboard and a bass - we had really bad side-of-t...

But songs shouldn't be duplicated exactly live. Growing up in the 80s and just getting into playing guitar, I loved hear live songs from bands to hear how they did a song/part that had more instrumentation than the band had. It was cool to hear how different songs were live and how they changed the ...

Love that era of Accept... this remake isn't bad, but not as good as the original. Love or hate Udo, his work ethic is 2nd to none. I counted 29 studio albums between Accept and the UDO band along with other singles,etc. Not even sure how this DIRKSCHNEIDER release is counted... He's going to be lik...

I have listed facts; this is not a bot account. I, too, escaped a wildfire with the same conditions. Ninety percent of our town was destroyed, and the lack of leadership in our blue state has left an ugly mark on us. FEMA was a joke and actually did more damage to our properties due to the lack of ...

The only complaint I had with the documentary is not including the actual music they're talking about and having to listen to 5 drummers verbalize the parts that are being referred to. I get that Genesis/PC sold their catalog, but when you're doing a documentary about a band/artist, their music is v...

Kitten's Got Claws was the clear choice for the single...

If the guy wasn't acting like a retarded Ozzy and just being himself, it would be better...
And not hitting Ozzy's high parts takes away from it...

It won't happen. Wilton and Jackson have the name and power in the band and it's an ongoing paycheck for them. If they reunited, they lose their power and who knows if their smaller cut from a bigger paycheck even makes it worth it. Plus, even if they retained rights to the name, trying to reconsti...

Wow, this came out of nowhere. Not sure it's anything I'll need to hear again. Would a Keel album/song not generate a bit more interest at this point? Still next to nothing, but Keel is way more known than Steeler. I had the 2-3 KEEL CD's. Pretty bad overall. There were some good tracks though. Ste...

I remember a friend having the Steeler record back around 1986/87 (I see the album came out in 83) and it had a young Swedish kid on guitar...Yngwie Malmsteen... I remember having the Alacatrazz tape NPfRnR (loved it and still do) so I thought this was pretty cool...but it must have sucked or I woul...
