I think we might see some ADKoT votes there, unfortunately. I don't understand either. We live in a broken society. You're probably correct, but I can't imagine a world, where someone with ears that function, thinks that VHIII is better than ADKOT. I'm sure there are some Extreme fans who prefer or...

Flo & Eddie sang back ups on everything from Alice Cooper , RAMONES , Springsteen to Zappa. Great songs. R.I.P. Buddy They were also on Ozzy's No Rest for the Wicked and possibly, No More Tears. They also did a lot of the backgrounds on my favorite Psychedelic Furs song: https://www.youtube.com...

Good news for those who ordered the box set! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Still remember in 1996 choosing between prepaying for a multi disc demo collection put together by the artist himself, or one by a different artist but put together by a bunch of fans I only knew from a mailing list.

To answer the question, first explain what the difference is between a half hit wonder and a one hit wonder. What is half a hit? So far the only bands mentioned are one hit wonders or no hit wonder crap like Enuff Znuff I think I gave some good examples. Guys that have been around forever but no To...

Holmes played some stuff on Headless Children that Ojeda and French can only dream of. I'd agree with that. Holmes, (when younger and sober), was decent. Piper, on the other hand, was useless, as Blackie proved when he switched to rhythm to replace him. So, when you had Piper and Holmes on an off d...

Gary Moore Ace Frehley David Gilmour all the guitar I need There’s way more to great guitar playing than shredding and these three covered all the bases for me. I stand by my list. Did you catch any of the shows that Ace did with Gary back in 87 opening for Y & T? Kind of an odd bill. GnR were ...

Bow Wow Wow never had a top 40 hit in the US, just a lot of MTV play for "I Want Candy" and a couple of their originals. They have been doing the nostalgia circuit since the 90s and now there are two touring versions of the band, one with the singer and one with the bass player, that do a ...

Yeah, the press was going crazy for it.

Their first album went platinum and the follow up went gold, which is really surprising since the first album came out almost a year after Nevermind. First album going platinum doesnt surprise me. I heard all 5 of those songs on rock radio. Second album doing anything is surprising to me. They open...

Not sure why Jackyl is running away with it. ACDC meets hair metal, singer can sing his ass off , and I believe they had 5 music videos off their first album alone. As well as the novelty of the chainsaw song (which I hate) All of that equals at least the 1 gold record. Moreso than Trixter, anyway....

Man, Matt Sorum wasn't lying - this singer SUCKS.

He was much better as a guitar player with Davy Jones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L3kSY8SRmo

Those geezers (what's left of'em) are as old as Aerosmith - they were over 30 when they had their 15 minutes in 84-85. Did anyone buy the follow-up records? Did they get any gigs after '85? For a couple of summers in the late 80s, they used to have weekly free concerts in downtown Dallas at the sam...

Got the Shadow King cd from a mall music store cut out bin for $.99 and listened it to it twice and less than a week later traded it in to a pawn shop for $1. Forgot I even had that album but yes that went out fast. Like a Foreigner album without good songs basically. AKA the Viv Campbell Effect. G...

Got the Shadow King cd from a mall music store cut out bin for $.99 and listened it to it twice and less than a week later traded it in to a pawn shop for $1. Looks like I could have held onto it for another 30 + years and sold it for $10/15 on Ebay.

2 STP songs?
Pretty odd

DeLeo is on bass.

I thought STP's drummer was supposed to be in the band, too - but I guess he dropped out of the tour.

Stan Polley, Badfinger's manager. Swindler who stole money from Badfinger and other artists he managed, as well as some non musicians. Left Badfinger broke, which supposedly was a factor in Badfinger's singer/guitarist killing himself. https://viculture.medium.com/badfinger-a-rock-and-roll-tragedy-a...

Yep. It wasn't released at the peak, but during the oversaturation that led to the decline and fall. But, to Mato's point, it was a major label release. It got pushed. There were videos. If people wanted to buy it, they would have. They didn't. The video was cheesy and lame and everything wrong wit...

I smell a Pophouse deal. Ozzy Avatar. We can finally see Randy, live, or dead as an avatar. Same with Ozzy. Then hologram Dio crashes the gig and a fight to avatar death ensues. HE IS IMMORTAL (just like Paula Stanley). Avatar Sharon is still a cunt. Will the Avatar Rudy Sarzo still lick or hump hi...

That Smell also.

Those are about the only Skynyrd songs that don't cause me to change the station when they come on. Not sure which one is my favorite.

I’m not surprised Daisley didn’t get invited by that old bag Sharon. I did think Jason Newstead would be there . It would be interesting to find out who declined because they have an old axe to grind. I have a feeling she probably didn't invite Phil Soussan, Dean Castronovo, or Carmine Appice eithe...

"Forget Me Not" was kind of underwhelming. They were by far the biggest of the B name "supergroups" from the summer of 89, but I thought the others (Blue Murder, Badlands, and Mr. Big) had better first singles/albums. Saw them opening for Whitesnake and they were better than I ex...

He pretty much said he wrote almost everything on Under Lock and Key. Pilson's reaction to hearing that was pretty funny. What’s even better is when an interviewer asks him to clarify such claims, and then he follows up with something to the effect of, “Well…I wrote all the hits.” Then they ask abo...

Looks like the UK version of the Cruel World festival.
