Re: Triumph vs Rush

Rush laid a lot of turds. FBN and CoS are patchy. The post-Power Windows trifecta is horrible. Counterparts was a brief return to form, then you can flush the rest.

Re: Who is the hardest working band in show bizness?

Using setlist.fm as a barometer, out of all the bands listed on this page, Buckcherry leads with 36 concerts during the first 5 months of 2025. Everyone else is below that, with Def Leppard at 3 shows so far this year. Meanwhile, Napalm Death did 82 shows in the first five months of this year. Guys...

A year's time passing didn't make this list suck less. 85-86 were two dark years for rock music.

Yeah, classic line up had 5 writers and at least 3 singers. I'm not sure if Albert or Allen sang.

Re: When you lost interest in a favorite band

It was more of a catalyst but I remember being really disappointed in the s/t Alice In Chains album in 1995 and pretty much losing interest in music for a few years.

Lost interest in my 3 favorite bands due to: Motley Crue - combination of the lethargic/completely indifferent "live" :roll: shows (starting in 2010 +/-), the total garbage they have released (Dirt Soundtrack, Cancelled EP), and the addition of John 5. KISS - Paul's voice quitting the ban...
