Rob had an idea, people hated it, he turned it back and apologised to everyone involved. Pretty cool, could've easily blamed the manager but obviously he's a good guy. Fair enough, he didn't throw anybody under the bus for his idea. I suspect the reasons behind the 4 piece had everything to do with...

I voted for the Foo Fighters, but I like both bands. I don't really like RHCP releases outside of John Frusciante's first two stints with the band, while Foo Fighter lineup changes over the years haven't had the same effect on their albums.

"Primal Scream", probably, although it isn't as good as at least half the songs on Dr. Feelgood.

Sheryl Crow's cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Worst". She just swaps out the original "guy" sung by Keith for "girl". I think Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World" has a few minor changes from David Bowie's lyrics. The Foo Fighters changed a word or two wit...

The scab/fake version of the Guess Who has rarely played Canada over the years because Canadian fans wouldn't accept a version of the band that didn't include Cummings and Bachman. The bar doesn't seem to be set as high for those attending shows at dipshit theaters, fairgrounds and casinos in the ba...

I like it. I'm surprised it took them so long to put it out.

Gilmour is a great live act - his voice and guitar playing remain amazing - but the eight or nine date North American tours are kind of inconvenient if you don't live in LA, NY, Chicago or Toronto.

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 love the Stones, but ...

In a world full of shitty news stories, this one really upset me when I read about it a day or two ago. Felt like being sick when I saw it.

Exactly. The same goes for other bands/artists I like.

Happy to see this. The bogus acts posing as the real thing - especially ones where the two main members are still alive, kicking and performing - should have been gone long, long ago.

Sheryl Crow is a fantastic singer, musician, songwriter and live performer. Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez aren't in her league. I don't care much for Kid Rock's goofy, trailer trash rapper persona, but Devil Without a Cause was a good album, and "All Summer Long" is a summertime classi...

Very true, but a few big festival shows and/or being part of a double or triple bill playing arenas and sheds might change the math.

Jesus, compared to Jack Russell, Phil Collins looks like an Olympic decathlete.

I was never into pills and I haven't touched coke, acid or mushrooms in the past twenty years. I'll smoke weed sometimes if it is homegrown by somebody I know or from a store, but I usually opt for gummies instead to avoid a sore throat, irritated lungs. My kid is a an occasional weed smoker, but he...

I'll take extra musicians and/or vocalists on stage over hidden musicians/singers or tapes.

Chronic Town by R.E.M. and Come On Pilgrim by the Pixies top my list.

Volume One by the Honeydrippers was also good, but more of a one-off, side project than a true debut.

I liked DLR's Crazy From the Heat when it came out. Now, not so much, but it was a big hit.

AIC is a great band. STP just a good band.

Two club shows within a month of one another in '97: Foo Fighters and Green Day. I was 25, but most fans seemed to be at least five years younger. For both, I was at the front for the first six or seven songs, but moved back a few rows where it wasn't quite as crowded. I few years earlier, I would h...

for a song that's almost 50 years old, it's held up quite well. revered is more like it. almost EVERYONE loves the track - from up and coming rappers to otherwise clueless millennials. don't believe me, do a YouTube search for "Led Zeppelin Kashmir Reactions." they ESPECIALLY love the &qu...

Both are/were great bands.

This is an excellent track he co-wrote with Mike Scott in The Waterboys:

Yep, one of the better Waterboys' songs.

I hear you. Not finding much humor in this story.

It is the first show of the tour and he's in his 70s. His voice sounds good. Don't know if he's singing along with any pre-recorded tracks - doesn't sound like it to me from that clip - but there's obviously vocal effects that allow his voice to be sustained longer or provide some echo, etc. That's ...

I'm not a big fan - they have a handful of decent songs, a couple of which probably qualify as classics - but almost everybody I know who has seen them live says they deliver a really good show. Loud, fun, lots of pyro, plenty of beer drinking, lots of crowd singing, etc.

I like most of what he did with the Waterboys and World Party. "Way Down Now", from World Party's first album is a great song. Wallinger didn't play on it, but he co-wrote the excellent "World Party" from the Waterboys album, "Fisherman's Blues".

Some of the old stuff - Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, for example - is alright. Kind of country/folk. There's some great old bluegrass that I like in small doses, but bluegrass purists might not like to be grouped in with country. Buck Owens and Carl Perkins were kind of a mix of country and rock, a...

Ian Paice
John Bonham
Keith Moon
Stewart Copeland
Charlie Watts
Neil Peart
Phil Rudd

How original!

That's a great version of a great song! Thanks for posting the link.

Cool documentary, but I came away from it thinking about how "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was a hundred times better. "We Are The World" was at least a little better than the cringey Canadian effort, "Tears Are Not Enough". If anybody is curious about how Neil Young, ...
