Loss of Control kinda blows.

I love the Martin stuff as well as Dehumanizer. Dehumanizer is like the heaviest Sabbath album. I can't think of something that sounds like it. Would have been nice if they had continued along those lines. Instead we got some of the worst Sabbath and Dio stuff after that.

Absolutely love this. I don't get why some people hate it. Though I think Home Sweet Home is better.

Your Filthy Little Mouth is what remained when they stripped A Lil Ain't Enough of the good stuff. A bunch of half finished ideas that may have had the potential for good songs but resulted in an end product of hot garbage. Who the fuck is Terry Kilgore? Probably a rhetorical question but it may be...

Couple of dudes in her backing band look like Sludge material. Anyone we know?

That's what I always wondered, on how many tracks did Becker play? I thought the more bluesy bits would have been Steve Hunter, but I've never seen confirmation of that.

I actually listened to this on my way home from work last night (I found the box set for under $40, so I bought it). I didn't think much of it back in the day, but it's better than I remembered. Decent songs, not great. I agree that most of the album is nothing like the title track. Jason Becker's ...

What's the verdict on this album? I think it's a really mixed bag. The elements were there for a great record: excellent musicians, great producer. Yet the songs are... meh. Title track is classic DLR and is what the rest of the album should have sounded like, but none of the rest comes close. Some ...

I'm a huge DIO fan but I'm with you. Didn't seem to bring the 'rawk'. It's entirely possible 'The Devil You Know' is better (as Heaven and Hell w/ half the Sabbath crew), but I don't remember that being a barn burner either. Worth a re-listen? I thought The Devil You Know suffered from the same pro...

Dream Evil and Lock Up the Wolves were pretty terrible. I beg to differ. I think DREAM EVIL is an excellent album with some truly great songs on it. "All The Fools Sailed Away" is one of my all time favorite DIO songs. Not a bad song on the album even if it didn't hit the heights of his f...

Sounds like Slang era Def Leppard. I dig it.

Nothing he did after was as good as his 80s albums. Not even Sacred Heart. There was some good stuff, but every album had a few too many dull filler songs.

Couple of great songs, bunch of okay tunes. Solid album, great playing by Gary Hoey. Dude was almost a member of Dio, I wonder how that would have turned out.

Good riffs, nice tone, solid leads. 8/10

I'm talking about songs you wouldn't expect hearing. I remember being in a train station a few years ago and hearing Time Stood Still by Bad English. I looked it up whether it had been a hit in Belgium and it had spent 2 weeks on the chart peaking at 28. So I was very much surprised to hear this one.

Pretty damn good album, if you ask me. The title track, “Knocking at Your Back Door”, and “Nobody’s Home” are all solid rockers. Thoughts on this one? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Perfect_Strangers_%28Deep_Purple_album_-_cover_art%29.jpg Top 5 DP album after the 1-2-3 punch In Roc...

This. But it's also the best solo of the bunch.

Good album, a step up after the disappointing Big Game. Too bad that was the last of Vito.

Amazing song.

I was at the dentist last week and You Could Be Mine came on the radio. I probably hadn't heard that song in years, and I didn't really feel like hearing it. I have that with plenty of GNR tunes. Same with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen and others. Stuff I played to death when I was a teenager or ...

Tough call. Dokken had a great run with Breaking the Chains - Back For the Attack. But Invasion of your Privacy trumps any Dokken album. So going with Ratt.

I do. Dude plays circles around Rudy Sarzo.

I tested this BC Rich Mockingbird today. I alway thought these guitars looked awesome. I was pleasantly surprised with the playability, I played a Warlock once and I hated the way it felt. Downside was it had a whole bunch of extra knobs which I felt were unnecessary. Still, I really enjoyed playing...

Cream - Those Were The Days

Clapton was awesome during the brief time he had balls.

That one rips indeed! I love me some cheesy synth hard rock.

Anyway, I was listening to Betsy Bitch - Turn You Inside Out. Not bad.

Gold top LP has also been one of my dream guitars. I have a 78' LP Deluxe that's been pretty much sitting for 20 years. Damn, by typing that I realized that I bought it in 1996. Fuck time flies. But really Les Pauls are the whole guitar world for me. I have and play other types of guitars but LPs a...
