I've always taken care of my teeth. Dentist twice a year, brush floss twice a day, but my parents certainly didn't have the cash for braces. (My older siblings still tell the stories of when my parents could barley afford the dentist, but no nova cane!) Per my dentist - Horrible teeth genetics here,...

It was written around the time the first album was released, by a temporary guitarist. He sold the rights to Muir. Then it went out on a demo and was played live for years before Join the Army came out. Per Wiki & I hope it's true - "War Inside My Head" was originally written by guita...

I liked him as an artist the best. Big Black, Rapeman & Shellac music is all excellent. RIP Not familiar with Rapeman, how were their tshirt sales at shows?! Naming his band Rapeman may not even be in the top 10 of offensive things attributed to Steve Albini. He also played in a band called Run...

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.

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 ...

Nothing At All & Who Will You Run To are solid tunes they used an outside writer on, as well.

If you believe what he wrote in his book, Rob was all bottom, a horny mofo, lusted after masculine men & only had intercourse with 2 women in his life. He never once eludes to himself being the dominant one in any relationship, be it longer term or one night stand, which makes me doubt the Jani ...

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. Might be the best chance for last minute bargains since they were doing 100 show stadium tours. I'm watching that. I ne...

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.

Same here, based on your advice from years ago. For that, I thank you.

I've seen "Get the Led Out" (Led Zep) & "Hugo's Escape" (Journey). GTLO was maybe 7 members, wearing 70's style clothes & they sounded a lot like the records. Hugo looks a lot like, & sounds pretty damn close to, Steve Perry while the guitarist kinda looks & sound...

80's Boston band "Face to Face" was the first one that came to mind, so them.

I love the interview Billy did with Tory Magoo.

IIRC, Chuck never left & comes out at the end of the show, like Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest.

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.

I love pretty much everything The Cars, The New Cars w/Todd Rundgren, Ric Ocasek solo, the Cars songs Ben Orr sings, anything David Robinson played on (The Modern Lovers, DMZ) etc. I recently saw Greg Hawkes playing with local Boston band "Eddie Japan" for a night of Cars music. Lastly, is...

Uli did a Tokyo Tapes tour a couple of years ago with a great band, that was enough for me to be honest. https://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Tapes-Revisited-Japan-Blu-ray/dp/B01M241P7P I checked that on your recommendation. Excellent record & yea, that tour would play clubs in the US. Even then it wou...

At this point, I could watch Ace all day. What with the wig, the girlfriend, the trips to Staples to buy the printer, now fumbling with the guitar fog thingy. He's the complete package for entertainment.

Did the bathrooms back up & soil the common areas with urine & feces yet?

is this a trick question? KISS with the blood in the comic book ink, obviously.

Weird thread, very political. Are the owners and or managers of Sunset Sound affiliated with a specific political party? Regardless, always sad when a tried & true situation gets beat down. I had no idea so many historic songs were recorded there!

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!

It seems The Ramones were not friends much longer than they were friends.

Did Peter Hook quit or get fired from New Order? Same question re: Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode.
I would imagine both those guys would rather be back on the big stage.

Big fan, love his work, but he's not enough to be THE guy. If DeGarmo had stayed, they would have been right up there with Tipton/Downing & Murray/Smith. They kind of already are, on some level.

One created a genre while the other can't even dial in a decent tone, nor take his foot off the wah.

The only rub was they were out of Worcester & had a weak ass signal, you couldn't even really get them in Boston. I would still try, though. O & A, Hillman/LB, Mistress Carrie etc. were all solid enough & that was the only place you could hear that type of music, at the time. I think HJY...
