I did - had the action figures, the playsets, everything. The original is an all-time classic. The 4 sequels are also entertaining, despite their various detours into 70s cheese themes. The Burton movie sucked, and I've 0 interest in the reboot series.

Me. Cord-cutting's no cheaper.

He might be polishing that turd to take a swipe at Vince.

He "discovered" VH in '76, but Kiss' manager had no interest, so they languished in the clubs for another year before Templeman rediscovered them.

Desmond Child. It's possible if Paul didn't ask him to work with him and co-write I Was Made For Loving You, he might have never been brought to the attention Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Cher, Ricky Martin, Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton, etc. Good answer. Even when he co-wrote Heaven's On Fire he was still...

Yeah they started limping years ago but they're still here.

Alice Cooper is one million percent a legend. The others, yeah whatever.

Missed him. They buried his name in the middle. Agree.

None of their subjects are what I would call "legends".

Motley Crue is the office dude who hates his job and his coworkers but the money is too good to quit. Thing is they will all be dead in 15 years and you can't take it with you and I doubt any of them are gonna do anything good with it like build a school of rock in some inner city or donate million...

Actually, it is. Sales have been trending downward for years.

Also facts.

Facts.

Any band that you have to be talked into liking is never worth the effort.

Maybe ppl who want to do stuff other than hangout in sleazy rock dives might feel less safe.

Leave your balls at the door, gentlemen.

They never descended.

The Chilis for sure. I put them with Metallica where I loved them as a kid so I'll always check out whatever they put out. Also, Flea is the band. Flea is great. I don't remember the last Foo Fighters album I listened to start to finish. I think it was Sonic Highways . Aside from the first album an...

Buckethead with hooks.

He's talking about all this stuff, but that was yesterday. What's Lou singing lately? I remember Lou doing a pretty big-budget Shadow King project that was mostly turgeo-id. One good song only, and that was the little acoustic piece done by Viv Campbell. Shadow King is possibly the worst "supe...

Yeah WoC was a fluke. As a hard rock/metal band they were finished.

I'll add his original band:

Urge Overkill - Saturation

Lots of copium involved when you're paying $500 to watch a bunch of 80-yos struggle thru their set on a stadium video screen.

See also Danny Elfman and Bridget Fonda...

84 too.

I wonder what JBJ pays Phil X and is it (a lot) more than the bass player dude? Alec Jon Such is far easier to replace than Richie and actually adds a new element and spark, which makes me curious. I know they're actual 'bands members' now and not 'touring musicians', but still. They're not really ...

DC is in a geriatric homo horserace with DLR.

Weren't these guys supposed to retire like 5 years ago after touring with Alice Cooper? Edit: found it. Was of course one of those "better see us now because it might be it...but then again, maybe not" tours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Goodbye_Tour Lol yeah I memba that one. T...
