Re: Ratt Detonator U.S. tour
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 ...

Re: Did you check out Stained Class when it made the news?
I was a Priest fan but I didn't have Stained Class. I clearly remember going to a used record store and picking up the cassette for $1. I'm sure a lot of people did the same thing.

Re: We need to talk about Hot in the Shade. (Yes. We do.)
"Beth" may have been their biggest hit when it was current, but it barely stuck around. "Heaven's On Fire" and "Lick It Up" aged better and still get play. I'd call those two bigger overall hits, despite not charting in the top-40 (and the way Billboard ranks that stuf...

Re: We need to talk about Hot in the Shade. (Yes. We do.)
Still feels like they didn`t really have an international crossover hit other than IWMLY. Very few short stints in the Top-10 single charts anywhere in the world. Kiss got a lot of mileage out of being a popular live music phenomenon and teen heroes 1975-1978. Lick It Up and Heaven's On Fire are pr...

Re: Why weren’t Buckcherry bigger ?
I remember loving the first CD. I was excited to see ROCK coming back! I didn't like the 2nd CD as much. So I guess I lost interest then. 'Crazy Bitch' got a lot of attention but I didn't buy that CD. I did get to see them open for Crue in 08, KISS in 09 & a couple of club shows since. They alwa...

He may be showing some of the effects of decades of drinking, plus he's no longer the young man we remember from the 80s. Anyway, the Page heroin reference was funny.

HOB Anaheim show was over $100 after fees. I saw KISS 7 times on the EOTR tour and I never paid close to that anytime. I didn't even buy a ticket for Gene and it's already canceled anyways. Other states already had tix on Groupon too.
