I lost interest as soon as I saw Quiet Riot ahead of Bon Jovi THIS. Bon Jovi is arguably the most successful of all the hair bands. They were relevant for at least three decades, charting Billboard hits in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. They never disappeared like Motley and GnR either. Certainly they shou...

Speaking of Bon Jovi, why aren't they doing stadium type tours like Def Leppard? The last few years Def Leppard has been hitting the baseball stadiums pretty hard, I have to think Bon Jovi is on that level too. And I know Jon can barely sing at this point, but that has never stopped Vince from touri...

He's talking about all this stuff, but that was yesterday. What's Lou singing lately? I remember Lou doing a pretty big-budget Shadow King project that was mostly turgeo-id. One good song only, and that was the little acoustic piece done by Viv Campbell. Shadow King is possibly the worst "supe...

Danger Danger-Screw It
Impelliteri-Stand in Line
Little Caesar-Self Titled
Spread Eagle-Switchblade Serenade
Electric Angels-Self Titled
Tora Tora-Surprise Attack

I take D-list to mean no gold records, and not much radio airplay.

"Jesus loves you this I know. He's in me, and now I know."

Great lyrics!

And nothing like singing in front of a table all decked out for a tea party! Televangelists are so weird.

I've been listening to the new Pearl Jam album today instead.

Correction: We HAD a guy like him in the White House. Trump is no longer the President.

I swear XTC was one of those rare bands that just got better with age. Apple Venus and Wasp Star are about as good as any band has gone out ever.

Luckily I've only seen them once, as one of the openers on a Poison tour in 2001. That was more than enough for me.

I have a friend who went to the hospital twice after being vaccinated for COVID. She has serious other health issues which contributed to how the vaccine affected her. As with all vaccines there is a very very tiny chance of an adverse effect every time someone gets a shot. That being said, the chan...

I know someone who told me they got COVID through cellphone tower signals, doesn't mean I believe them either.

I always thought they were a good "singles" band, but couldn't really sustain things over an entire album. But I'm also a weirdo who likes the Brian Howe era. "Holy Water" and "Dangerous Age" were pretty good albums, but they probably should have called it something oth...

I'm pretty sure it was either a Shaun Cassidy album or KISS Alive 2, I'm hoping it was Alive 2. We also had Double Platinum and the Ace and Peter solo albums, as my brother's favorite member of KISS was Peter and mine was Ace.

I don't think it's fair to say Robert Plant quit Led Zeppelin, but he's the only one who has been standing in the way of a reunion tour the last 30 years. Plant likes what he's doing now, and has so much FU money that he can say whatever he wants to Page. I'll always be bummed I never saw Zeppelin, ...

Tommy and JY in Styx The (then) new guy inLittle River Band who took control and then wouldn't let the original guys back in. The Little River Band story is supremely fucked. They are an Australian band now fronted by an American and with no original members since 1996. No one in the band can remin...

Before moving to the West Coast went to several shows at Harpo's, always had a great time. It's in a shitty neighborhood, but I never had any trouble there. I remember there being only "two" kinds of beer on tap: Bud and Budweiser. Favorite show: Dio's "Master of the Moon" tour w...

Judging by some recent videos, Vince has a pretty serious Biden problem. The steroids finally ate his brain. He may be found incompetent to stand trial. Laurinitas, though, is fucked bad. “By the way, they never report the crowd on Jan. 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, you know, t...

Def Leppard is somehow playing stadiums again, and they never had a late era career hit like BonJovi did with "It's My Life.' BonJovi was always going to be fine simply because they were one of the five best bands of that era and wrote a shit ton of great songs.

Ramones. Despite their legendary status as godfathers of punk rock it was a surprise to find out they were barely surviving financially all those years touring small clubs in a van. According to his brother, after End of The Century, which was their most succesful album, Joey Ramone only had $5,000...

The moment I heard that song I thought Pink, but the album is awesome anyways. Green Day is amazing life and their new album is a lot of fun.

Whatever Happened To… wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 2:58 am Vocals sound a lot like Paul Stanley!

I totally hear it, and I get the comparisons to "Jealous Again" too. It's not a bad song, but it's not great either.

That "I'm nothing but lonely . ." section really sounds like Stanley.

Can't really add to that wiki tier overview of Poison. Well at least record producer Bruce Fairbairn (Bon Jovi) felt Poison were big enough to produce their follow up album Open Up And Say Ah! Naff album imo with a lot of filler and duds but killer singles with Rose, Angel, Nothin' and Mama Don't D...

L.A. Guns seem to be in love with Satan. Tracii is an admitted atheist so found it funny he wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Tracii also wore a Hail Satan hat for the holiday season. Phil wore the devil mask to promote their single a few years ago. A bunch of AARP members repping Satan is well we...

I always found this video a little bit odd because Motley Crue was one of the few bands of the era where the drummer and bass player were far more popular than the lead singer and the guitar player. It's cliche to have the lead singer as "the leader of the band," but I don't think anyone b...

Duran Duran also had the stigma of being a teen band, with their pictures in Tiger Beat and all the girls in my fifth grade class talking about marrying Simon Le Bon. I'm sure Men at Work was considered a more mature band and appealed to boomers for that reason, while Duran Duran was for New Wave fa...

I always found them a bit pretentious which was a turn off. Gary's lyrics just weren't very rock and roll. That being said, they had some good songs, and they were all excellent musicians. Cherone is a pretty good singer for the genre too. Everyone acts like they just fell off the earth after the se...

Comparing what Taylor has recently done to the Beatles is completely disingenuous because the criteria are so very different. Hell, if streaming had existed in 1971 Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin would have had ten songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The yardstick by which popularity is measured keeps cha...

On the first Heaven and Hell (Did Sabbath) reunion tour I got the venue in Detroit an hour early so my friends and I could get a spot right next to the stage (the floor seats were all GA). We didn't want an incredibly long time, we found a backdoor at Cobo Hall that no one else was standing by were ...

I have to think King could put a new band together and call it "Reign in Blood" and play festivals and clubs/theaters anywhere else. It wouldn't be Slayer money, but as the guy in charge it would still be a hefty chunk of change for him, and I could see Slayer fans being happy with it. Cal...

Were you the guy wearing the TUFF t-shirt?

I'm not joking. I saw one there.

Definitely not me. I saw a couple of Iron Maiden t-shirts, but that was about it for metal.
