Fun band with fun songs, and I'd say CC is actually underrated. His vibrato absolutely sounds like someone on coke, but his solos are often melodic, tasteful, and have a surprising amount of flash in them. I can see why insecure dudes might hate on them, but I think they're fun.

It’s a good album from a good band with an excellent singer. Brent Smith is one of the best in the genre, no question.

It's some of the most white people shit I can think of.

They were kids.

Plied with the idea of famous people, a beautiful island, private jets and who the fuck knows what else.

Great tone, one of the best riffs/songs of the genre, but I always thought the solo spot was kind of wasted. As impressive as it is technically, it's really just scale wank. I would have liked something a little more thought out and groovy for a song like that.

I don't have a sedentary life, but I guess most people do. I keep a bottle of caffeine pills handy just in case. Have the 200mg Jet Alert extra strength you can get at any grocery store (walmart and others have a generic). Sometimes I cut one in half. Just if needed. The pills are great because you...

Took it up to cashier and he says..,”Rod Halford is right over there” pointing to the old blues section. Sure as shit, he was. I went over and spoke with him. They were in town for Ozzfest. He was very approachable and gracious. He signed my DVD and told me not to sell it on eBay. Much, much shorte...

It's the easiest time in the history of humanity to exist and everyone needs energy drinks to get through their sedentary lives. Ridiculous. That said, when I was on graveyard shift, I did pop the occasional 150mg caffeine pill that my coworker brought in. I had one of those 5 Hour Energy shot thing...

I don't have one, but I'm super interested in some of the boxing games they have. It could be a great way to keep in shape.

You're missing out. I love watching rabbit holes get stuffed.

I read that as "Have you ever seen a video on Pornhub," and I was like has this motherfucker just now discovered Pornhub?!?

I usually roll my eyes every time someone posts about a musician's parent dying, but Lars's dad did seem particularly cool and I'm sorry for Lars's loss.

It'll be fun watching all of te "States rights" people cry about this.

Bingo.

KISS, for all their faults, were and are pretty fooking cool. I’ll take them over Cheap Trick, New York Dolls, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC (and I love me some), UFO (I’m a respectable fan), Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, WASP, Dokken and most of that ilk. About the on...

Kiss are still shite.

I love spicy, but only if it's flavor first. I feel like hot sauces have become all about heat over flavor and "hot sauce enthusiasts" have found a really ridiculous way to make themselves feel smug because they can stand hot shit. A spicy curry, Mexican sauces with dried peppers, etc, are...

Was it tEh JAb!!!1!?

I have some Batman action figures on my bookshelf. I couldn’t care less about resale. They look cool and I like them, so I bought them. Why does there need to be any other reason?

This guy is angry lol. Something here is out of his comfort zone and has upset him. Yeah. I’m super angry about the thing that’s been in daily use since long before I was born and has been legal for like ten years, now. I just wanted to point out that you’re super cool because you do the thing ever...

So how did this all end up? It ended up well. Were u exhausted after the 16 hours? Any interesting bullshit happen at work on the holiday? I was tired as fuck, yes. It's a crazy amount of walking. Were u able to get laid the day before or the day after Thanksgiving at least? I didn't get laid until...

Woah, you smoke weed? Fuck, you're cool.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Bach by a million miles. I think Bach's a cunt too, but come on. That Ace song was mediocre at best, and if it wasn't the moon man from Grease Paint Wiggles in it, it wouldn't even be that. You think I want to like anything from Bach? I assure you, I do not. But you've got to gi...

They were fucking great. I must have watched their Farewell Concert DVD a thousand times, back in the day. Steve Bartek was also a great player and arranger that I see mentioned too infrequently. Also, I caught Elfman a couple of years ago at a Nightmare concert and it’s unreal how good he looks and...

Is the Uvalde video required viewing as an instruction to not do nuthin' when violence breaks out?

For everyone but the Border Patrol.

the autopsy said he died of cardiopulmonary arrest. Yes, the literal stopping of the heart due to lack of oxygen to it. From the second those cops started interacting with Floyd, his breathing was strained. Plain as day in the video. He'd just had the 'Rona, had drugs in his system that could have ...

I haven't seen too many long shows. Probably GnR on the reunion tour.

I have no desire whatsoever to sit through a four hour concert. Haaard no.

Big fan, were you?

What's the problem here? A musician has a product to sell which is about how he was involved in the free speech (anti PMRC) movement in the 80s. He does interviews to promote the product, an interviewer will obviously ask him for his opinions on the same issue today. He replies, it gets published. ...
