We all know the big hits he wrote with Jovi and Aerosmith. What about the songs that do not get mentioned as often? What are some of your favorites? Sword and Stone (Bonfire's version) Hour 1 (Scorpions) He's all over the Humanity: Hour 1 album, which is actually pretty good. Tied Up (Billy Squier)

Maybe not... totally hair metal, but... an 80's classic for sure! Orion The Hunter "So You Ran" > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxAH9VZCR34 Great song and a killer album > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoB_kycuSAw&list=PLovExl5CQwvBAAG3Oz4Jzx_OvMqYtCZ0L Also... the song "Drea...

That looks like Michael Monroe.

Wow. I can't believe Vain isn't winning this in a landslide, since a lot of people here are delusional and think the debut is some fucking masterpiece.

I know mental health issues are serious, but fuck that guy. I hope his family has to foot the bill for whoever is in therapy for shooting him.

Poppy was all kinds of epic last night. I took one video... https://youtu.be/fPnL7-WEpvU?feature=shared I dig her and that wasn't bad, but I've seen several recent clips of "Concrete" where she is singing over a track or lip synching parts of it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yEkJ-2eFlgw

Vital Signs is one of the best releases of the entire 1980s, period.

There is not a weak song on it. The fact is that it only went 1X platinum and only got as high as #16 is a crime.

I think Lou sounds pretty good all things considered. He changes the vocal melodies and doesn’t sing it exactly like he recorded it but for the most part, he is doing the parts. He’s definitely not a Paul Stanley, Don Dokken, or David Coverdale, when it comes to crappy vocals late in the career. He...

Push Comes To Shove Oh hell fucking no. The guitar solo is Ed in full God Mode. Dweezil cites it as his fave ever EVH solo. It sounds like Holdsworth if he took up smoking freebase. Yeah, the solo is amazing, but the whispering "push" and "shove" underneath the solo almost ruin ...

Push Comes To Shove

I've only been to three: Y&T: it was free after the show and they signed everything and talked to everyone. Pure class. Queensryche (2X): once before a show and once after. It was pretty quick, but they were cool and amicable, talked, and signed stuff. They are all short. It was included in the ...

Same guy, years apart.

Oh, for fuck's sake. He's not working an 8-hour shift laying pavement on a highway. Is he too cheap to buy a hat and some sunscreen?

There has to be more to this, doesn't there?

Every chick I knew said he was pretty fugly, but I guess maybe some girls like fugly guys.

So a reverse Slump Buster?

...it's a tad better than "Hang Tough"

No, no it is not. Hang Tough is better

Correct.

He's definitely been on and off his meds.

Autograph's Sign In Please only went gold. It's a good hard rock album that I guessed would have squeezed out a platinum distinction.

Turn Up The Radio was a hit, they toured with Van Halen, and songs were used in movies.

Danny Carey is one of the most talented drummers working today.

Maynard is not nearly as smart as he presents himself to be. He's smart for a metal singer, but that's damning with faint praise.

Adam Jones is overrated. If he was in another band, he'd be a solid rhythm player.

I could name you at least 25 great warrant songs

At least?? Bullshit. 25 songs is two greatest hits albums' worth. Even their one "best of" has filler on it.

And yes, Firehouse was a better live band. Leverty could play circles around those hacks and Snare had a better voice.

It's the album cover of Two Steps From the Move and these were 40 year anniversary gigs of that record.

Still lame. At least the pictures aren't everywhere.

Sounds good - better than the album even.

Did you pull your back out with that reach? Sweet Baby Jesus.

I'm curious to see if anyone's got one from Black Rain or Scream , two albums I'm not sure anyone has heard, least of all Ozzy. Those two are VH3 bad. Does anyone like them? To nsme one song: Here For You is a ballad that makes Dreamer sound like Stairway to Heaven FWIW, my kids all loved "I D...

Bryan Adams - "It's Only Love"
Janet Jackson - "Black Cat" ("Love Will Never Do Without You" was the seventh single and went to #1.)

Blasphemy!

Did you have a time machine? ALAE came out on January 15th of 1991, and Billboard started using Soundscan six weeks later. Even better - I Googled it because it was right on the edge. RIAA uses units shipped. Billboard charts/reports actual sales using Soundscan. RIAA certification stopped being un...

The Wrath of Gods by James S. A. Corey
Physics of the Future by Dr. Michio Kaku
The DaVinci Legacy by Lewis Perdue (this is the book Dan Brown ripped off)

Never owned a pair of Jordans. I did buy a pair of Jumpman 23s to hoop in years ago, and they were the cheapest pieces of shit shoes I've ever owned.

Steelheart's follow up was "She's Gone", which was another ballad.

I think the first single from the second album was "Mama Don't You Cry".
