I remember hearing it and liking it on first listen but also feeling like it had the air of a band disintegrating. The lack of 8th-note-riff metal stuff already said to me that Robbin must have been fading. Before I even knew, I suspected the exact problem it was. Robbin’s diminishing involvement i...

Every album from the EP -> Dancing Undercover does it far more for me.

I don’t find Detonator to be either under appreciated or a masterpiece. I think that Reach For the Sky mostly blows, also.

The only thing they did that was worthwhile for my ears after that was “Nobody Rides For Free.”

I stopped watching a little past half-way through the second episode.

I’ve had enough of Jon Bon Bloviator kissing his own ass.

It’s a long puff piece.

For my ears - “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)”.

How fortuitous.

It’s cool, but songwise, I can see why it’s an outtake.

That might be longer than I was willing to put up with.

Terrible.

F.

It makes “Saints of Los Angeles” sound like “Too Young to Fall In Love.”

How much time do they spend on the first two albums, or do they even bother mentioning them?

The shit Richie says about Shanks is the SAME shit Phil X says about him, so it is true.

F Jon.

What is shanks?

A record producer.

It isn’t?

I thought that they were trying too hard, as usual,
& that it sucked.

Jake’s playing is phenomenal on this album.

They’re both good drummers, and far better than Ramboat (First Blotz), these days.

I don’t like either of them.

Zander’s voice is truly second to none.

Is there any drumming on an album if nobody listens to it?

His style works perfectly for the songs he plays - most of which he writes.

Ozzy might have made it had he been on that soundtrack.

I thought these guys weren't making any money, why would you want to have to pay extra musicians?

If Tate is showing up to play, you can rest assured that he’s being guaranteed money, and he must be doing well enough to have the band behind him that he wants.

Seriously - this was more cringey than Kip Winger talking about is ballet moves.

Killer footage!!

That is good shit, indeed.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah, but the “reunion offers” won’t make them suck any less.

I just heard an interview with Bryan Small from The Hangmen on Jason McMaster’s Talk Louder podcast, and it made me want to check out their new album. For my ears, it’s really good, and I ordered up a vinyl copy. https://youtu.be/eQ9TMBT-AYo?si=QpenkQklh54_W0ni https://thehangmen.bandcamp.com/album/...

The key is finding old stuff that is new to you. I’ve been doing this for years, and that’s what gets me through - finding the cool stuff that I missed along the way. There are thousands of bands from the 50s through the 90s, and it stands to reason that I wouldn’t have heard all of the ones that I...

In other words - it’s going it be even worse than the last one was.

That’s just incredibly sad.

My vote goes to The Sisters of Mercy.

A band's new CD = $15 Catalog releases on CD = $10 A band's Vinyl LP = $20 - $30 A Vinyl, with Color options and/or Gatefold = $25 - $40 A band's standard 2 color print T-shirt (ex: Red & White on Black) = $25 A band's 3-4 or 5 color, two-sided printed T-shirt = $35 A concert ticket (at a club) ...

Reading his “writing” will make you lose a brain cell or two. More like a couple IQ points. The fact that the rest of the guys Ratt reunited just to spite this clown when he tried to hijack the name says everything about what kind of world class asshole he must be. We know this already of course an...
