I saw a setlist posted the other day. There were a LOT of songs I didn't recognize. And I'm pretty familiar with their first three albums and any singles that came afterwards. "Even Flow" and "Yellow Ledbetter" were the big hits saved toward the end. Maybe one or two other songs...

Serious question.

I never really thought about it, but you're right. Nita is the youngest one at 37, and then Glen is 52. Everyone else is around 60. Alice used to go through band members quicker than Coverdale, but I guess now that he's older, he just wants people to do the job. To be fair, Alice's band used to use...

I love that Maiden stuck around long enough to be one of Live Nations cash cows. They can always call Smallwood when they need someone to put asses in the sheds.

Journey + Def Leppard + Foreigner = summer stadiums? Maybe. [/size] This is the most attractive out of all of the options mentioned so far. DL and Journey have toured together in the past. Hard to believe adding Foreigner would boost them from arenas to stadiums though! Maybe a mix of sheds, arenas...

Even during their peak, Stay Hungry , to get booked at the largest venue in their hometurf, The Nassau Coliseum, they had to open for Ratt. Yet, Metallica should listen to Dee. :roll: I was checking their tour dates for Come Out and Play to see what kind of venues they did. The New York gig was at ...

The debut, Violation and Coliseum Rock were all great meat-and-potato rock records in their day. Never cared for Attention Shoppers as much. They're one of those bands that haven't aged well though. Last time I threw them on, much of it sounded very dated and mediocre. Adequate but unspectacular. T...

My initial thoughts were that they are the opening act, or one of the opening acts, for whatever "The Stadium Tour 2024" is. Def Leppard and Journey part 3? Journey and Motley Crue? Bon Jovi and Aersomith? Some such bullshit with Foreigner taking on the hallowed 4:00 pm slot. Sounds like s...

Read this book and wondered if it was a joke to put Starz in with those three massive bands. Guess not, because the dude spends a lot of time nagging about them. Mediocre band, had the success they deserved. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hF4FEnyiL._SR600%2C315_PIWhiteStrip%2CBottomLeft%2C0%...

If you were a teen when Permanent Vacation came out, you're pushing 60 now. Anyone that was actually around to see and hear Aerosmith's initial 5 album run is in their 70s and 80s. I'd argue they make up a minority of the crowd on a tour like this. This will mostly be the soccer moms and frat dads ...

Agreed, there. If you were a teen when Permanent Vacation came out, you're pushing 60 now. Anyone that was actually around to see and hear Aerosmith's initial 5 album run is in their 70s and 80s.

Here come the "it's only a cold" morons that got millions killed. Assholes.

There's an entire generation that know Aerosmith as the Alicia Silverstone video and Armageddon song band. The only 70's song they know is "Walk This Way" and that is because of Run DMC. Only in Sludge land is this denied. Agreed, there. If you were a teen when Permanent Vacation came out...

Saw Testament play a place called "Sneekers" in Dayton. As far as I know the only national shows they ever booked were Testament and The Outfield. What a combo, eh? This was 1999. Lombardo's kit took up all of the "stage" so the band were pretty much on the floor. My friend, who ...

Yes it was a huge crossover hit and maybe their highest charting single?, but 99.9% of the actual Aerosmith ticket buyers could care less if they play "Don't Want To Miss A Thing". Aerosmith have been a soccer mom band for way longer than they were a one-ballad-an-album-sleazy-rock-band. ...

Dee is approaching Ted Nugent levels of needing to STFU.

I don't hate this nearly as much as I thought I would. In fact, there's enough "good" that I might be convinced to buy a midrange to upper deck ($100ish) ticket for this. Sure, I'd like more from the first 5 and a token track or two from the Night in the Ruts and Rock in a Hard Place but I...

Megadeth have always been The Cars of the Big 4. Interesting, Crymaster. I always thought Megadeth was the Huey Lewis and the News of the Big 4. What does that make Metallica? The Bon Jovi of the Big 4? :lol: Love 'em or hate 'em, Metallica are the Led Zeppelin of thrash. I see them getting slagged...

Biohazard LOL. the only two thing I know about them: 1) "Slam" remix with Onyx 2) The singer getting to fuck (and cuck) Tera Patrick They were a band, like Prong among many others, that almost broke into the mainstream in a big way. Despite not really having any sustained mainstream succe...

Problem with Megadeth these days is the lack of variety in the setlist and the fact that you'll never get more than 1 hour and 30 minutes out of them. It doesn't matter if they are on a package tour co-headlining sheds or a small arena. It doesn't matter if they are headlining a theatre. You'll get...

Every Megadeth run seems to have 1 or 2 shows booked in an arena where it doesn't belong. That Megadeth and LOG tour was booked in The Schottenstein Center (18k) but didn't sell enough tickets to fill up Kemba Live (5k). So it never happened.

Not the wannabe HBO channel, the band! Are they one of the most criminally underrated bands of the 1970s or were they just another shitty 70's band?
I think those 4 studio albums are up there with the run of Aerosmith and Cheap Trick but what do I know?
Discuss!

I like songs that have hooks . Risk had plenty of them . Heavy for the sake of being heavy is not my cup of tea . I can’t even listen to the last 3 Megadeth records . Nothing sticks in my head and I turn off after the first 5-6 songs . It’s like Dave is trying to show people he can write heavy musi...

Risk was different from the prior two albums in that the prior two each had ONE song good enough to impact rock radio (A Tout Le Monde on Youthanasia and Trust on CW), while Risk had zero. CTE was their commercial peak, it was a steady decline after that. Risk was just the end of the road. Countdow...

wow that's even worse lol...d.m. :lol: You have to remember that awful "Crush 'Em" song! It was painfully bad. uggghh...you just had to remind me didn't you?...i may have owned it and not made it much farther than that tune...d.m. It was the lead single so I avoided the album and tour. I ...

aside from trust, i don't remember a single tune off of that album...and i know i owned it and saw them on that tour...d.m. "Trust" was the album before Risk so you don't remember a single tune! :D wow that's even worse lol...d.m. :lol: You have to remember that awful "Crush 'Em"...

"Trust" was the album before Risk so you don't remember a single tune!

IMO Risk is the lowest point this band has ever been at in their career. Two listenable tunes on this album: Wanderlust and Time: The End. I thought the one after this was the worst. Dave was trying to prove they still had some kind of thrash credentials and it was just a very meh and blah affair. ...

Youthanasia doesn't stand out at all in their catalog and sales wise was a dissapointment after CTE. Good point.
