Re: Van Halen @ Biloxi, MS 1982-07-24 (Soundboard)

How do certain portions of the fan base listen to recordings like this and come away from it going “That Mike Anthony was never any good. Ed really carried that guy.” The Edtards are just as stupid as the KISStards. As much as an "Edtard" that I am, I always cringed when the topic of Mich...

Re: Wolfgang cancels...schedule conflicts?

Perhaps he canceled because he was afraid Hagar would try to push him to perform with him and this was the easiest way to squash that. We all know that even if Wolfgang wouldn't have canceled but declined Hagar's invitation, Hagar would advertise how he and Wolfgang had a real heart to heart talk an...

Re: Any Sludger’s see Clapton in the early 90’s?

I've never really been into Clapton solo. When I was younger I did like Cream. I loved the production on those old rock albums. Clapton seems like such a miserable prick that it just makes him unlikable for me.

Re: Revisiting Def Leppard’s Adrenalize

I really liked "Adrenalize" but, as I've said numerous times in the past Def Leppard's "Adrenalize" is the sister album of Bryan Adams's "Waking Up The Neighbours." You could interchange the songs from both albums and it would work. It's due mostly to Mutt Lange's produ...

"Passion killer..." in Def Leppard's "Photograph" was - "Buy some gum..."

"Then you turn a cold shoulder..." in Pat Benatar's "Fire And Ice" was - "Then you turnico sho nuff."

As odd as it sounds, even though I was fully aware of the Black Sabbath connection, Geezer just seemed like such an OLD guy to be in Ozzy's band.

Saw them open for RATT in Biloxi, MS on the "Dancing Undercover" tour. I couldn't believe I actually enjoyed an opening act I never heard of. That didn't happen again until I saw Skid Row open for Bon Jovi a couple of years later at the beginning of the "New Jersey" tour.

The song is simply horseshit pandering. It's less about Ed and more about Hagar saying, "See I'm a good guy paying my respects."

Anything with dialogue over the music. Always thought the Guido who says, "24 hours boys" in Bon Jovi "In And Out Of Love" over the music video was stupid. That being said, I don't mind dialogue before and after the tunes, just not during.
