Re: Which 80s bands don't hold up?

For me, the heavier stuff. Slayer, Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus... even Metallica. Loved it all, but honestly I never want to hear any of that shit ever again. Van Halen, Dokken, Ratt, WASP, Def Leppard, Whitsnake, Great White, etc get play almost daily by me. But I'm just not interested in ...

Re: Butch Walker - “Jani Lane was so talented. I watched the music industry pull him apart

-I’m not watching that. -Jani Lane pulled himself apart. Lot of guys crashed out after being famous or didn’t make it at all. 99% of them didn’t drink themselves to death. I mean hell, the other guys from Warrant are all going strong. Everyone’s always looking to make excuses for someone famous bein...

Re: another one for the death pool - Brent Hinds, ex-Mastodon

Just saw a post on social media from him yesterday ranting about how off-key and talentless his ex-bandmates were - that they were self-absorbed losers and how he was the only guy in the band that could play.

Well… now he can’t.

Shark Island were at their peak when they were called "The Sharks" and released an album called "Altar Ego". I've posted it here a few times - absolutely killer stuff. But that was 1981 - if they were going to break through, it would have been back then, along with Crue and QR. T...

I think "stole" is strong - Slash played with Pride and Glory at their final show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7nzv5J ... rt_radio=1

Pride and Glory was over by 95 and Zakk was trying his hand at being a singer/songwriter. I'm sure it was all good.

Re: SKID ROW: BACH talking about the failed reunion, and proves he has no self-awareness.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but right around the time they were actually having discussions about rehiring Bach, didn’t he give an interview where he said something along the lines of “Yeah I think the fans deserve to see Skid Row. I’m already out there doing it every night, it doesn’t matter who’s pla...

People are suggesting Bach because they know MC would need to replace Vince with someone equally-or-more-famous to possibly hold onto their current draw/status. Like when AC/DC got Axl - He did a great job, but there were much younger and better singers. They hired him from a business perspective - ...

If they replaced Vince, they'd be back to playing fairground shows with Adler's Appetite and LA Guns overnight.

If Vince is done, so is Crue.
