Re: Queensryche - Gonna Get Close To You (1986)
There was only one single released, correct? That's strange. The album had many great songs. Walk in the Shadows should have been the single. Gonna Get Close to You is a great song. And it's a cover too. I always wonder if bands were pissed when the first single wasn't their own written song. Lisa ...

Not sure if they are "short" in this context, but Alex Lifeson certainly made the most of his spots on many of the solos on Signals -> Test for Echo

Re: How many CD’s do you still own?
I went through them all & whatever wasn't worth 5$ on discogs, I donated. That left me with a couple hundred. I still listen to them in the car & at home via a cd walkman hooked to my receiver. I have a turntable & a cassette deck, as well.

Re: Who was the best NU-METAL (pu-metal) band?
I've always liked Korn, but never considered them nu metal. Zebrahead was kinda cool, although I see the original lead guitarist & rhythm guitar/vocalist aren't in the band anymore.

Re: I like XTC better than Jellyfish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just saw EXTC live, so great. It's original drummer Terry Chambers, along with 2 scabs, doing XTC songs. Obviously I'd rather see the originals, but said band does have Andy Partridge's blessing.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?
I think Jon has the band on salary and they come play when needed. The newest guy Everett may not be. Tico and Dave probably still get a cut of the merch money. That's BS. Tico and Dave have to be partners. Hugh probably is too. Their old contract in the 80s said Tico and Dave have .5 percent or 1 ...

Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.
now in his later years he puts very little effort into playing. At least on stage. He has said in interviews they don't rehearse. Which is apparent. He is super sloppy, hits the wrong notes, stops playing at times to mug for the audience. He is more of a showman than a guitar player. I would rate h...

Rolling Stones ticket sales have pretty much stalled out completely. So many fans from the fan communities have died the past few years. They have finally outlived their fan base.

Standard guitarist, excellent songwriter. Does he still use a bunch of silly guitars live? Like he had the 5 neck one, the double neck that was an image of himself, the checkerboard explorer etc.

Those Fantasy Camp things usually don't appeal to me but man, you get to play YIL with Warren D'Martini?! How much do I have to pay & how long do I have to deal with the other "campers" until the jam? I'm assuming the "jam with the talent" is the last thing you do.

Eddie Jackson of Queensryche? Dude barely sniffed a writing credit when DeGarmo & Tate were in the band. Now, on the Toddryche records, he has several, including a few tracks penned specifically by Jackson & Jackson alone!
