Also, cars and driving. Who cares as long as you get from A to B? I have a driver's license, but the last time I drove was in 1997. I've always lived in a good location and have had no reason for a car. My girlfriend has a car and I could drive it, but have no interest. It doesn't Hurt my pride to ...

Phil Lynott is alive and well and still making great music.
Van Halen wouldn't have split up with Roth in the 80's.
Razzle hadn't died, just to see what would have happened with Hanoi Rocks. Or not.

I was at the first show after Sweet's Mick Tucker had been replaced- by a drum roadie.

Part hair metal, part Brit rock from Wales. Solid album from start to finish that I never get tired of

I’ll second this! That first album was amazing!

Good choice, though the record is a little too long.

Take Her has one of the worst riffs ever, so not that one. It's like a first riff from a 13 year old, who's trying to learn guitar.

FFA COFFI PAWB (later Super Furry Animals)

Queen- s/t

Neil Young- Let's Impeach The President
XTC- Here Comes President Kill Again

Michael Stipe
Brian Johnson

Did Peter Hook quit or get fired from New Order? Same question re: Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode. I would imagine both those guys would rather be back on the big stage. Wilder left Depeche Mode and while he would like to be more successful in music, I doubt he would want to be back with Depeche. So...

Black Crowes, not even the brothers.

Lemonheads- Fade to Black

Henry Paul (Outlaws)

Everyone who has quit Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Brian Jones? was actually fired because of fuckery with jagger and Richard’s, drugs. What's the story on this? I haven't heard this before. Jones and Richard went to Morocco and Keith ultimately stole his girlfriend who was allegedly in an abusive relationship with Jones. Brian spiralled into takin...

What's the story on this? I haven't heard this before.

Bobby Gillespie quit as Jesus And Mary Chain's drummer and continued successfully with Primal Scream as a singer. Peter Gabriel did well after leaving Genesis. Karl Wallinger left The Waterboys and has done pretty well as World Party.

I saw them live on this tour. I had already seen G'N'R twice, but had missed STP when they played here. One of the main reasons to see VR was trying to see Weiland while he's alive. Well, the expected happened, but years later.

And the guy sat on the drum riser, jerking off! Jimmy gave him 20€.

When I saw them they had 2 people, a man & a woman, come up & urinate their pants for $20.

At the same gig, their bass player pissed on the singer's head.

Although Steel Panther bringing girls on the stage gets a pass.

Agreed. Nowdays it seems it's only ok to show tits when it's "ironic".

I don't know how Arttu and his girlfriend even make a living. In 2022 Arttu made 5 851 € and his girlfriend 12 026€ a year, which is like 2 to 4 months average wage here. Rich? Hell no!

Yes. At late 80's, mostly at Finnish trash metal shows, with bands like Stone and Airdash etc.

There's always something in press, him making porn, or getting punched by Til Lindman or marrying and divorcing his girlfriend or what ever. I think many people here don't even know him from other than yellow press.

That guy is more famous now here in Finland from yellow press, than being a musician.

Were those the two young rappers that wore their clothes backwards? I thought they were 10 or 12.

I like the Syd Barrett years.
