For the same money potato Joe sent to Ukraine, alone, we could have built several state-of-the-art mental institutions in each state. This madness will continue as long as we continue to celebrate mental illness instead of treating it. Had enough yet, America? https://media.tenor.com/dafrUXrMOIQAAAA...

Re: BON JOVI announces new album with different singers

Why? And what cost?

This can’t possibly make any money. But it will certainly cost money to produce.

I don’t get it. Total garbage.

Re: WHERE’S VITO? … Mike Tramp visits The Hair Metal Guru talks White Lion, Vito Bratta and his early years in Mabel

White Lion is half Vitto’s legacy as well as Mike’s. I read his position as wanting to preserve his legacy as he’d left it 34 years ago, and not risk Mike dragging it through the mud years after its expiration date.

Re: Are you still listening to new stuff?

New stuff from 80’s bands? No.

But thanks to Spotify, there’s an endless well of new-to-me stuff to listen to from newer metal bands, say dating back 15 or 20 years to current.

Re: HAIR METAL ... Is the term offensive, is it irrelevant one way or the other, or does it put a black eye on the 80s?

Kinda depends on who’s saying it… sorta like ‘N’ word. Musicians and fans of that scene are free to use the term because in that context it’s not meant to be derogatory. It’s almost a point of pride. But I do get irritated when outsiders… fans of talentless and inferior genres like mallcore, nu meta...

Yes. Youth matters. It’s performance art.

Re: What Huge Rock Acts Have Destroyed Their Legacies More - A Poll

Crue is the obvious choice, so I voted for GNR as a close second.

I’ll also nominate Metallica to round out the top 3. 80s thrash metal kings reduced to stadium mom rock. Glow sticks and Fiji for everyone! I don’t feel safe :cry:

Not sure why this popped into my head, but all I can find online are conflicting claims… he said, she said.

I do remember hearing something about Dan leaving the guys an upper decker in the bus toilet. Hilarious by any standard.

I just can’t get behind tribute bands… at all. No matter how good they may be. I recognize that some folks want to “hear those songs played live.” Fine. To each their own.

Re: Who still looks like a Rock Star

No. They WERE rock stars decades ago. Today they’re kinda cool looking extremely rich old dudes. Perhaps still even good/great frontmen, musicians and celebrities.

But I’m afraid youth and infamy are required ingredients.
