The idea that Ratt should headline over Motley is ridiculous. Motley is just simply more popular than Ratt. They've got bigger hits and have been way more consistent as a touring band. <snip> Since Robbin has been gone and the original lineup split, they've been a club level band. Pretty much this ...

Of course RATT would blow Crue’s doors completely off. That goes without saying. However Crue doesn’t have even a shred of self awareness, so they definitely don’t actually feel that way. https://blabbermouth.net/news/stephen-pearcy-doesnt-think-motley-crue-would-want-to-play-after-ratt-on-hypotheti...

Sometimes I’m interested in a “celebrity’s” cause of death because it’s unexpected, or maybe even sad.

Here? Not so much.

Di'Anno was a rolling corpse for years. He died of “because everything”.

I don't think there was anything less cool in the world in 1998 than Iron Maiden. Singer would have made little difference. Might have sold a couple more tickets in England and Japan, but they'd be doing clubs in America all the same. I agree with this. The environment at the time was unfriendly at...

I'll give you the other four, but this one stumped me. You'd rather see an outside show in the dead of winter? Spring and Fall. Summer heat is miserable… at least in the lower half of the country… with humidity it’s literally a physical endurance challenge. Brutal. And in the south, powerful thunde...

I love Vinnie so much. He’s such an amazing freak.

4. Summer is the worst possible time for an outside show. I'll give you the other four, but this one stumped me. You'd rather see an outside show in the dead of winter? Spring and Fall.

This is a little exciting on the surface, but then I start scratching… 1. It’s really just ‘Young/Johnson’. 2. They’re both old as dirt and look every minute of it. 3. Stadiums are worst possible venues. 4. Summer is the worst possible time for an outside show. 5. Oh and any decent seat will be $500...

Brittny Fox - never gave them much of a chance back in the day as I hated their look on the debut album cover. Decades later when I actually gave them a chance , wow their second ( Boys in Heat ) and third (Bite Down Hard) albums are amazing. Although the Debut has their best song with its amazing ...

How’d you like to be the poor bastard for whom this dangerous psycho has hungry eyes?

I love the internet.

I don’t blame the guy for advocating for himself. We all have to do it. Part of being a professional.

I think most people are just choosing to not be a cunt, so we say nothing.

Impossible to pick. There are 6 on that list that I’d consider equal.

Side note from the homoeroticism… to this day The Centrum was always my favorite arena growing up and throughout my 20s. So many shows and experiences. Great memories.

That’s an understatement. Oingo Boingo looked cooler than the EEAS band.

Holy shit. I knew his health was not the best, but I didn’t see this coming. I have been waiting for this to be honest. He's like Ozzy, outlived all expectations. But that Poland festival video was just sad and here's what someone who was there, at his last show, wrote: "On the one hand, I und...

Thanks for the recommendation. Crazy Lixx kinda ruleZ… in a 1992 hair band sorta way. Move over Tigertailz.

That’s what I’m here to say.

I like Kreator, but to my ears they suffer similarly to the way Overkill does because of Mille’s voice. I just don’t like it.

Close. Hair metal band members are slowly dying out.

One of my genre favorites.

Or is this the wrong site for German thrash metal appreciation?

I love ‘em. Wish they’d tour near me.

I want to see a double bill with Cybertronic Spree. “Hello, Livenation…??? Think I got a money maker.”

Marilyn Manson.

Excellent call out.

So far, the cringeworthy names are Blackie Lawless, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.

All others listed in this thread are cool stage names.
