Re: Motley Crue CANCELLED

Nikki Sixx remove Mick Mars from the writing process, musically, after MC94 and then went Nashville - writing with professional songwriters - when he formed Sixx:AM.

The Motley Crue sound from the 80's is long dead.

Nikki's Nashville Papa Roach imitation is what we're left with.

Re: Journey full show SF from the ego ramp

Fuck can Schon play. That outro solo to Whos Crying Now was fucking epic. Arnel's voice can't handle doing these songs on tour anymore - he's doing crazy vowel modification and still cant hit the notes. He had a great 15+ year run, but he's done. Will be interesting to see what they do - It's anybod...

Re: Call out lame ass bands using backing tracks

When I go to hear a singer, I expect him to be able to sing above the orchestra with the strength of his own voice, not this fake bullshit “electronic amplified” crooner shit that Frank Sinatra and all those pretty boy FAKERS are doing. If your voice isn’t strong enough to sing without the aid of a ...

Re: "The Emptiest Concert I Have Ever Been To - A Strange Night Of Old School Hip Hop"

Seeing the artist perform live isn't an important part of Hip Hop the way it is for Rock. Also, these guys' music hasn't had the staying power of other 80s rap artists (like, say, LL Cool J). Mix those two together and you get this - a handful of bored old couples that played these songs at their we...

He’s playing in Hurricane now - his brother has been the bass player since the 80s and they have some scab singer.

They should boot him from the tour and finish it with a sub if possible, TBH.

I've worked with addicts for a long time. Tough love is the best medicine - sitting on the outside watching everything happen without you due to your addiction is as strong of a motivator as there is.
