Re: Chuck Berry - the nastiest rock star of all?

I saw that one of those Chuck clips on a compilation video back on Fuct I think (he was pissing in some gals mouth in the shower).

Fella really went tone deaf with the lack of caring about his live shows - musically speaking I mean.

Re: Michael Monroe cancels tour w/Buckcherry

The first 3 NP albums I used to listen to in heavy rotation a lot. The last studio album they put out was pretty good too given how long they’ve been around. AC/DC type sound but the vocals are def something you love or hate - there’s not an inbetween really. Fun band to see live esp when they had t...

Re: Half assed Half Review of Half a David Lee Roth show

As much as I like Al - and he’s truly fantastic - I do wish he’d have given the guys on his early 00 tour a call. Especially Brian Young his guitar player then. Those guys were great - but then again, so is his current band.

Re: Are canceled shows becoming more prevalent in your area

Pantera canceled at a gig locally to me to “grieve and reflect” on the passing of Ozzy next month but then wound up with a newly scheduled date on the same night up north. Looking at the seating chart around my seats (at the time) I think it had less to do with mourning and more to do with lack of s...

Re: Where’s Vince?

The fan in me was really hoping that the absence that he’s had was due to Ozempic or a nip tuck here and there andtime off from the singing to come back refreshed and healthy. Of course, I was wrong.

At least the drummer has a commanding presence on stage.

At one point (I’m think of the era she was fighting with ICP on the Stern show) she got a LOT more attractive with plastic surgery - but like so many others, she kept on going too far with it.

Taken this week. I know he’s 70 but should he look 20 years older than that, unless something is wrong, which I hope is *not* the case. I was worried when he made his retirement announcement back in 21 and it was sort of cryptic that something might be going on. It really does look like he’s aged 30...

My one and only time to see him play live was during the tears in heaven era of him touring. It was a good show, packed out in a 16K seat area and his band was tight. I think he looked a bit like what was in the original clip in this thread too.

It’s wild that Vince, who let’s face it probably one of the laziest people on the planet with a lot of money, hasn’t invested in the Ozempic shot yet. Maybe now that he’s about to be back on the scene he will.

Re: Lou Gramm almost as sad as watching Frankie Valli

I saw Lou headline a riverfest show in Gadsden AL 15 or so years ago and I think that was before he had his serious health issues - he sounded pretty bad then and I can’t imagine the poor guy has gotten better over time. His solo band was pretty solid.

Re: Wolfgunt is back to abusing boomers on social media

I know Wolf is very talented and I respect him for what he pulled off as a young kid for the VH gig - but I just can’t get into his own music. It’s pretty bland.

He was on such a high note when he played with Dave Grohl…if he put out a VH sounding record he’d win over so many people.
