Re: OZZY Euthanasia?

There were rumors about him going to Switzerland to do assisted suicide last week, but he died in England at home. There doesn't seem to be any suspicion that he took his life at all. https://www.nme.com/news/music/air-ambulance-staff-said-to-have-battled-for-two-hours-to-save-ozzy-osbourne-before-b...

Re: David Lee Roth “Hot For Teacher” live at the California Mid-State Fair (07/22/2025)

There are reports that there was maybe 1,500 people there at most in a venue that holds 15,000. Supposedly nobody was there. I haven't found any photos but it's being discussed on the Van Halen forums.

Dave looks good (for being 70 and, well, being Diamond Dave), but he still sounds horrible.

Re: RIP … Ozzy Osbourne Dead at 76

It's so weird how I was just reading last week that Ozzy was gonna go to Switzerland to do assisted suicide and there were a bunch of rumors going around. If he did it will come out at some point but regardless I can't blame him if he did. I think if he could have he would have died on stage. I thin...

Re: People in bands like Poison when they are not touring

I know a family who is actually wealthy, and they're the cheapest people you will ever meet. They have no name brand food in their kitchen.

Alex Lifeson plays Limelight with Tom Morello, has guitar issues

This is unfortunate but funny. Alex Lifeson came out to play Limelight at some show with Tom Morello, but when it came to the solo, a bolt broke on Alex's headstock and he lost the E string. It sounds like one of those joke videos people have made where they make it look like somebody is playing hor...

Sounds like they just had Dolly sing over the CD version and tried to mix her in. There's no way they went back to the actual reel and remixed the entire thing properly. It's just the 1985 version with Dolly crowbarred in. Dolly's singing has sounded pretty fragile and soft for a while, but the 2nd ...

Re: Revisiting Def Leppard’s Adrenalize

Let’s Get Rocked is a perfect example of why grunge took over for a bit. One of the worst songs, lyrically ever. Unless you are a ten year old. Other than that, I’m a big Def Leppard fan. That song was released after grunge had already started. It came out in March 1992. Nirvana and Pearl Jam blew ...

As of now it's not close to the 92 riots at all. 99% of LA and the surrounding areas wouldn't even have known this was going on. If you were around for the 92 riots, you know the difference between this and what's been going on for the last 3 days. If the 92 riots were a 10, this would be maybe a 2/...

Just like how people look at them now. They had a great first album and a few other hits and now they're old. The back catalog still sounds relevant and the production hasn't aged, so when kids find it, they'll think it's cool if they like that type of music and that's that. Future generations aren'...

Re: Ratt Detonator U.S. tour

Ratt didn't fit the formula for the late-era hairband - no power ballads, no pop-crossover. Meanwhile the newer bands like Skid Row and Warrant just blew them away. Ratt had more in common with Quiet Riot and Aldo Nova by 1990. This. There were plenty of hairbands during that era that were doing gr...
