Not Vince. :lol: I remember putting Exposed in my CD player and and hearing Look in her Eyes and thinking "uh-oh." I really like Billy Idol and I loved Crue. "Exposed" sounded fake to me. Like an imitation. "Cant Have Your Cake" for example was clearly them sitting dow...

According to Wikipedia it was Enough Z'Nuff. That site is only correct about 70 percent of the time though.

70 percent, lol.

70 percent of the time it's right every time.

Winner. WS'87 started the whole Led Clones craze.

I had a Big Mac meal on Thursday for dinner. Coke Zero for a drink (healthy). Had Culver’s for lunch yesterday. Coke Zero for a drink (healthy). Either going to Cheesecake Factory or Red Lobster tonight for dinner. Leaning towards seafood (healthy). What kind of seafood? Grilled salmon? We ended up...

It was ok 40 years ago.

Their emergence could be the mile marker where the system broke down. Whatever exec signed those day-glo fairies should've been shot.

He produced a lot of records that nobody listened to, drove Blowbrains to suicide, and spent most of the last 20 years crying about how the old studio system was dead. Sounds like he was a closet racist as well. Seems like a swell fella.

made every heavy metal record sound as if the amps were placed in cardboard boxes? He did it with Motley, with Twisted Sister and with Dokken. Maybe he was fine producing poppier acts, but he sucked ass at producing heavy metal records. Lol. None of those bands were the least bit metal. He was a po...

Definitely after 1978, dingis.

PS - Van Halen is NOT a hair band. C'mon Bono, gimme a break... That's highly debatable, given some of the pictures that are out there. And the fact that they've influenced just about every hair band out there. And when you look at the playlist of any glam/hair metal event, there's always a few VH ...

Yeah the NFL is rapidly approaching that point. People are eventually going to chuck it in and realize that it's not worth paying for 10 different services to see all your favorite team's games.

Lol I thought you said "promo".

If you can live without televised sports the math probably works. That's not me.

Riverdogs are a bit of a stretch too. They sounded more like Soul Asylum than White Lion.

And they sucked ass.

PS - Van Halen is NOT a hair band.

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.

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...

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.
