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.

RIP to the world's most famous flugelhorn player, Chuck Mangione,

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...

Breaking the Law with Billy Corgan on lead vocals, Tom Morello and KK on guitar, Rudy Sarzo on bass, and two of the guys from Tool, Danny Carey and Adam Jones, on drums and guitar.

Only time I have seen him live was the 1990 tour and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Solid setlist that did a good job of covering his career.

"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.

The bass player singer in Little River Band. Then he was last man standing and when 2 of the OG's wanted back in he said fuck you I own it all now and I'm paying scabs. <snip> Felder in the Eagles. Until Don and Glenn said fuck that when Hell Freezes Over tour started. It was the lead guitarist who...

Cindy Brady thought it was a good idea to date Bobby Blotzer, so that tells me everything I need to know about her. Whatever side she's on, I'll be on the opposite. She and Robbie Rist aka Cousin Oliver used to go at each other on Facebook over politics. As a 70s kid, it was kind of weird to see.

What's kind of odd is there are two versions of the song. There was a version recorded for the tv show during the first season, but it wasn't released until the 90s when it showed up on a rarities collection. As the show was winding down during the second season, they made a new version, with added ...

As someone who watched an absolute shitload of MTV in 1990-1991, Detonator was DOA. Winger, Poison, Warrant, Skid Row, Motley, Cinderella, Slaughter, and to a lesser extent Trixter and later Firehouse were what was on the air from mid 90 to mid 91. I NEVER saw videos from Ratt. Ever. I think I saw ...

Have a couple of friends that are diehards, one of them even plays in a Ween tribute that plays a couple of times a year and another bought tickets and took me to see Ween, so I have been exposed to them - they have a handful of songs I really like, a handful I don't like, but most of the stuff, I'm...

I welcome this behavior with open arms. He's sliding into dementia with an enthusiasm that makes Joe Biden look like Will Hunting. Take a man that deeply insecure and now make his brain pudding. These episodes are going to get gradually more humiliating for him and even better, the MAGAts will neve...

Those "Open auditions to join the band" are all full of shit. No famous band has anything but contempt for local players they dont know and who have no connections. It was dickish of Limp to do this and it was equally dickish when Steel Panther did it. And obviously in both cases, it was ...

Also, the story behind the "Paul Stanley" vocals on "1976" is pretty funny. That was just for fun. [Guitarist] Robert [Hecker] always did a great Paul Stanley impersonation and we liked to create our own mythology. My brother was really good at that. So we went as far as to than...

Fast Times looked 80s but felt a bit 70s (as it should have - was researched then). With the soundtrack having all those Irving Azhoff-connected bands, I associate it more with 70s music than 80s. There were a number of soundtracks from that era that mined many off the same musicians (and managemen...

Jellyfish lined up in a row at the front of the stage with the lead singer playing the drums standing up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQhS2OEotI&list=PLfhwo_wJwc2jKKWXhat4F2iiK_sdgbrNq&index=5 Back when they had the six member line up of King Crimson in the 90s, bandleader Robert Fripp ...

I think this is the first footage I've ever seen of future Night Ranger/VH keyboardist Fitz on bass. He's doing a great job on Bad Motor Scooter.

Kevin Valentine also gets cool points for playing on this AOR classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=YH5Arbm47IQ

Did you skip last week's countdown from 1983? Lots of new wave and AOR classics.

The Pixies are another band we should probably be questioning why they're not in the HOF yet. They weren't mainstream for the most part, but they still had heavy influence on Grunge and the rock genre in general. They are, they were inducted in 2023. That was the point of my comment, someone mentio...

I looked through a ton a pics of Dave through around the MTV fiasco. He never did that god damn stupid smile prior to that, then it became his "foot thing." I would imagine this is the face of someone in the electric chair. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/David_Lee_Rot...

Looks like at least two members of Alcatrazz are follicly challenged.

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...

That story reminds me of when VH went on Stern to announce the new singer and some woman called in and said that she had met Gary after an Extreme show and intimated they had fucked. I’m sure it was a plant from management to try to subvert the impression that the new fruity prancing VH singer was ...

Definitely Tommy. Blades is a good bass player, but he never shows it on Night Ranger albums and live, the keyboard player sometimes covers the bass parts while Blades is singing. Pretty sure I have posted this before, but here's him funking it up with Rubicon, the band Blades and Brad Gillis were i...

Had several friends into them, but they were the only one of the big four that I couldn't get into.
