Scorpions with Uli. Not always, but when they did, it was a mistake.

Sickness now the hour of dread!

Favorite song of theirs, the live versions.

Ozzy Ultimate Sin, Def Leppard Hysteria. Neither did a thing for me.

I agree. HH is as good as any of the really good (maybe not great/perfect) albums of that era, but these guys could write songs and their lyrics were good for non English speakers. I think a great intro to them is the live album from a few years later, especially the live version of Long Stick Goes ...

Not a whore joke, and since no one laughed at my walrus joke so I share this with trepidation, but here goes: A gimpy white guy is taking a piss at a urinal and a big black guy comes and is taking a piss next to him. White guy looks over/down and says “Wow, how do I get one like THAT?” Black guy dec...

A strong second for Best of the Doobies. All you really need.

I’d add, in the “really good best of albums” 10 from 6 from Bad Company.

Chet Atkins said it well. Playing guitar is like running. Almost anyone can run, but not everyone can run a marathon.

Slightly off topic, but when I encounter a Springsteen fanatic or a New Jersey native (generally one and the same), I’ll sometimes let drop that IMO Seger is superior to Springsteen in every way - songs, performance, consistency.

Try it sometime. Their reactions are epic.

I got into and WORSHIPPED Ozzy between Diary and BATM. This was between 6th and 8th grade. Parents (single mom) didn’t care but classmates and teachers at school were very freaked out by him and even metal head friends were cautious about publicly admitting they liked that “devil worshipper.” I took...

Neil Young and Crazy Horse with Patti Smith opening. A Match.com date took me and bought me dinner. NEVER liked Neil Young but it was a good show. Saw Soundgarden in the same venue (Patriot Centervin Fairfax VA) and they were terrible.

Roger apparently never wanted Kenny Jones in the band either. I for one liked Kenny’s drumming live on the old songs.

Walrus takes his car in for repairs. While he is waiting, he buys himself a vanilla ice cream cone, and gets a bunch of it on his chin. When he goes back to the shop the mechanic says “Well, looks like you blew a seal” and the Walrus says “It’s just ice cream I swear!”

But it helps. Man, it really helps.

For some reason. Slow news day?

Have a Drink on Me in the verse riff. Shoot to Thrill in the intro.

Mike's background vocals and stage presence were so strong that he earned his 25% anyway in my book. I saw them 4 times with Hagar and 3 times with the Roth reunion but I never got to see the 4 all together at once. Mike's absence was palpable. Stage presence? Seriously? Dude has the stage presence...

I listened to it. Yes, a lot of early life details but still entertaining. Very interesting discussion of his time in MC and especially interesting how he came to contribute to The Dirt book and its aftermath. As rock bios go, I thought it well above average if not outright good.

“I’m the Man” by Anthrax. You can barely hear the funny parts over the fake crowd noise.

The first and IMO the best - interview from their first SNL appearance. Wait for the question about “who their audience is.” https://youtu.be/a-HOHzafV1E?si=kI2dc2TCjSK9goaw Also, if you haven’t seen it, there is a deluxe DVD of TIST with them doing audio commentary in character. “Setting the record...

I don’t recall any of that from when I saw Deep Purple in ‘84.

My old mom dug Powerage, especially Gone Shootin’ and Riff Raff. Of the latter, she said they were really “getting down.” True that.

Reaper all the way!

Satisfaction. Even Mick and Keef say so.

That much love for Hagar? On this forum?

I agree, but just surprised.

Put on Zappa’s version of Stolen Moments/Murder by Numbers and watch the chicks swoon!

As an Ozzy fan at the time it made me pay a little more attention than I otherwise would have. “Hey, that looks like the guy on the back cover of Speak of the Devil.” Then I heard NR and quickly lost interest. Nothing against them, just thought they were a little too squeaky clean looking/sounding f...

David Lee Roth EEAS era.

I listen to this at work all the time. It’s pretty good, as is VOL 2. There is a live show on YouTube (I think from Germany) that is also good. A lot of these songs translate really well.

NOW I’m pissed about the Bonham firing.

I posted this in the Blotzer Piece of Sh*t thread, and it didn’t get much reaction, so creating a new thread because I thought this deserved more traction. Is everyone tracking the Blotzer knocking up Moon Unit Zappa story? In his book he describes it like he got her pregnant (he identifies her by n...
