Nope. I went to a Rush show because friends had an extra ticket but no car, so I drove and got in for free. I'm very happy I did not pay for it.

Tommy Shaw opened and played Styx tunes, and was actually more enjoyable.

I was a pretty big Leppard fan back in the day (I had On Through The Night and High n Dry on vinyl). Pyromania was big, but I had friends who hated "Rock of Ages" with a passion. When "Women" was released, I was not impressed and hesitated because I thought, "If this is the ...

Everything bagels are fucking gross.

Cinnamon Swirl, toasted with lots of butter. Raisins are fucking disgusting.

Sure. He's so far in the closet he can see Narnia.

Motorhead. Yes, Lemmy's voice was unique. It just wasn't very good.

Britny Fox. Worse than boiled cats.

So Litt just turned down the guitars and drums a bit. Genius!

Oasis are awful.

For both quality and body of work it's not even remotely close.

Final Destination: Bloodlines 7/10. There is no "connection" to the other movies other than Tony Todd's character is in it.

The fact that this band has a career in music is a miracle. They should thank their lucky stars daily that they actually make money off of the manure that they produce and call music. Agree. They suck as satire, and they're lame as a serious band. Tenacious D with half the talent, or The Bloodhound...

Always a delight when the 'never made its' drag the 'made it big' guys. Yeah, Vince is low hanging fruit. And Motley is a shell of itself. But Red Kross is just any other band (and I like some of their tunes). Why not dog Kik Tracee while you're at it? Somebody your own level, pricks. Lol This. Vin...

"You Really Got Me" was pretty sad. Old man karaoke with background singers doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

No big deal. I won't be buying tickets though.

If/when he gets to 77, Roth will be in a wheelchair.

I like the song "Use Me" - it has a bit of an 80s vibe. The rest is crap.

Remember putting your quarter on the game, while someone else is playing, meaning, I’m next.

Yes, I also remember putting up a few quarters of my own while playing, basically saying, "Go away, I'm gonna be here awhile".

I've only heard two songs so far.

"Lachryma" is pretty good, but then I heard "Satanized" on the radio yesterday. Not good.

Probably in the minority here, but I was actually more disappointed by Defenders than I was Turbo. Defenders is mostly filler.

Yes, Turbo has the synths, but Out In The Cold and Private Property are better than most of the songs on Defenders and they weren't even singles.

Just record yourself singing through a fan.

Ir's worked for Belinda Carlisle, Michael Stipe, and Eddie Vedder on some songs.

Holdsworth's left-hand legato is ridiculous. But, he's not an "80's shredder".

Gotta give some love to Steve Lynch and Jeff Watson. They could shred, and utilize most of their fingers while two-handed tapping. That takes dexterity.

Also, Michael Angelo Batio is ambidextrous.

It would be funnier if the guy behind Triumph wasn't some bitter never-was.

The Very Best Of

One of my favorites from Invasion. Fun to play, too.

Hell no. For reasons others have mentioned and the songs weren't there. More people probably know about them because of Vince.

Savatage... hmmmm, could there be a less interesting group? Oh yea, Rush and Dream Theater. $tEvil well, i can combine 30+ favorite sludge bands inc yours, and they dont do the business of what Savatage became, so... i agree wholeheartedly on dream theater though, worst band of all time Yeahhh, no....

Savatage... hmmmm, could there be a less interesting group? Oh yea, Rush and Dream Theater. $tEvil They're no Tales From The Porn, that's for sure. And you know you would kill to sing like Stevens or LaBrie. Anyhow, I hope they come to the States. I much prefer Stevens' voice. It fits the material ...

Pantera. They established their Groove/Thrash/Hardcore mixture with Vulgar Display. Cowboys has great stuff, but is still a bit derivative with Anselmo doing Halfordish stuff. 5th and 6th albums. Cowboys wasn't even the first with Phil. Anthrax' Spreading The Disease was a giant step forward from F...
