I wonder if they'd ever consider or have considered in the last 20 years, setting up like they're in a garage and mic their drums and amps. Ramones style. Well, the basic setup hasn't changed and apparently, they even recorded the new songs all together in the same room but these songs arent straig...

Former Crue nutswinger here. Played the first 30 seconds to get a feel, then started the 10-second skips, which became 30 second skips = end. I haven't liked anything they've done in ages. The fucking amount of processing and layers in the production. So much gain. I wonder if they'd ever consider o...

Put on the title track from On Every Street, preferably on a good system and just listen to the coda at a decent volume. It's some of my favorite music I've ever heard and I'm far from a Dire Straits nutswinger but great is great, and that shit is great!

Bad is a desert island disc for me, assuming I have a kick-ass stereo on the island and a power source. Absolute demo-material top to bottom. One of the greatest produced/engineered records of all-time. Steely Dan Aja? Child please.

I went Poison and it was an easy decision. I rooted for Poison back in the day as (you know) we had an 'us against the world' mentality. When Poison 'made it', it was a victory against my dad and his Simon & Garfunkel records. Conversely, Poison embarrasses the shit out of me so this is not a fa...

It all depends on the room and yes, external mics improve your chances and you also need to practice with trial and error instead of just going in cold. www.taperssection.com is a good resource but a bit cliquish and as can be predicted too many Deadheads. (I love the Dead but hate Deadheads) Cool ...

Here is nice "how to" video on recording a concert.

Song should've been bigger.

Question being, with something like the Tascam X6 or equiv, I'm looking to record a concert in a 2000 seat theater so that I could pair it with video being shot. Also, I'd prefer to just use the recorder and not hook up additional mics which of course would likely be much better, but I need ease/spe...

This. Perfect.

Living in L.A. as many of you likely do, it's fucking insane. Studio City, Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, any club w/ live music etc there are always women who have gone the Michael Jackson route of plastic surgery addiction. It has to be the same neurons in the brain that make anorexia sufferers see a fa...

Jeezus fucking christ that Frankie clip. Where do elder-abuse laws come into play? And the fucktards in the comments saying 'sounds like he did in the 60s!' and they're not joking? These people should also be removed from society. Frankie looks just like those Halloween yard decorations you buy at H...

Faster to stand, and I'm an adult so I can actually aim. I am shocked this is a thing for guys who are Gen X Aim has nothing to do with it. Haven't you seen those clips of infrared cams in slo-mo that show the spray/splash from pissing in the bowl going up into the air and get all over your sink, y...

I realized when I was a young lad that peeing even directly into the bowl with surgical precision, resulted in a fine spray or drops splashing out onto the floor, your feet, your legs. Hell, even standing next to some goofball at a urinal at your local AMC theater you're likely to catch some spray-b...

If we don't know you, why would we care what your favorite hair metal records are? How about your favorite movies, or burger joints? Means nothing.

I can spice things up by talking about having breakfast lunch & dinner with Steve Vai, Adrian Belew, and Tony Levin almost daily. Nahhhhh. Boring stuff.

Wow, that's a lot of Queen in there. Love it of course as I continue to swing from the nuts.

He's not just one of the best living lyricists, but he's also a spectacular guitar player with chops for days. To answer your question of genre, he's more 'Americana' than 'country'.

Yeah this is a pass. I still haven't even opened my 33rd or 34th anniversary editions.

Like a lot of records in the early 90s, it's too long. Weed out the weaker tracks & gimme a 34-40 minute,10 song record.

I forgot their best riff. Ventura Highway. Acoustic intro. Agreed, great riff and their best song. When I was a little kid, my great-grandmother had a beach house (on the fucking sand, stilts and all) on the Ventura/Oxnard border. When we'd drive up the Ventura Fwy to go there on a weekly basis in ...

I cant imagine how Ezrin finished an album that had Comfortably Numb, ABITW, Young Lust, Hey You, Run Like Hell, In the Flesh etc and found himself happily working on that fucking garbage next, thinking that it was anything other than just that. I look at it like spendings months having to complete...

His arch in 'The Dirt' must have wound up on the cutting-room floor.

Don't the Beastie Boys famously hate this song? Unlikely this will change that. I'm sure they love the paycheck they got from this... They're not making any money from this. Doubt there's any 'up-front' fee and nobody's gonna buy it so no real publishing to speak of. It's not like they're using it ...

OK, for KISS / Ace fans; I think I know the answer but have never looked into it; No way Ace played the solo to Makin' Love on Alive II, right? The end of that solo with those crazy high notes (don't think they're pinch harmonics - but 22nd-fret bent e's) into a lightning fast little trill. I don't ...

My uncle divorced in the 70s and remarried a woman who looks curiously similar to Jack with the bangs here. She was first so I think Jack ran into her somewhere and copped her look.

I shudder to think what you paid for that. ...plus, it is outside of: black, white, red, sunburst or natural, so I cannot acknowledge it. These from my research go for anywhere from $4.5k to $6k plus, but I took it in trade. I got the better deal. Knowingly, as the guy I traded with has more guitar...

Outside our hair metal bubble, to the mainstream, Great White are known for The Station, and to a lesser extent their cover of Once Bitten, Twice Shy which was a minor hit. Let’s be realistic here. I’d restrict that to Once Bitten. By the time these guys came around I knew them for a cover of “Subs...
