Metal Sludge Gossip Board

Track released tomorrow, however, Eddie Trunk is debuting it today on his show. My plan is probably forgetting about it right when I hit send on this, and them remembering tomorrow, or the next day, and taking a listen. What I will NOT be doing is listening to Eddie's show.

Hopefully hear some clip of it today since there’s been like a 12 day annoying countdown of it on Mick’s Instagram without any tease of the song

Mattley. When you take peeps on test drives do you put on some hair metal to show off the sound system?

I postponed surgery for this and the last Beatles song … so I’m stoked.

Don’t go on test drives any more but always put on Hair Nation on Sirius for customers

Yes

I think it’s called “Loyal To The Lie”.

I will hear it Friday on my Spotify Release Radar playlist...

Is it non-talent Jacob Bunton on vocals?

Bunton on vocals

Heavy pop?

The song is very catchy but the solo is shit. Wtf?

Did not like it.

Pretty generic Heavy Rock from 2023. No one would ever think that's a song by Mick Mars.

Here it is.

Brickwalled?

Not a bad tune, I hear Mick’s tone here and there but too much noise.

That was fucking terrible.

It doesn't really sound any different than SIX:AM.

Weird.

Not really sure how I feel about this.

The solo sounded kind of cool.

Total shit.....
Is BJ Ashba also playing for Mars on his solo album?
Bunton is totally unremarkable, and the heavy handed generic modern rock production is exactly what I thought was one of Micks complaints about the later Crue albums?

A decent song - though not quite what I was expecting. Agreed that the solo was somewhat underwhelming

As an aside - why the hate for Bunton? He is a decent enough singer - I liked the Adler disc and his earlier bands were enjoyable. He was cool when I met him.

The guitar riff is similar to "Daddy's Money" off our TuFF release "Religious Fix"

And his track doesn't sound the best either... this TuFF track was basically a demo and was recorded 30 years ago and has as good or better production.

$tEvil

What a steaming pile.
I can’t believe we waited 87 years for this.

Everyone getting their own at-home laptop recording studio around 2003 was a bad idea.

was not impressed as Crabby does vocals way better

I agree, I would have liked to have heard Crabby on at least some of this album. Ideally Mick could have brought in guest singers for all of the songs similar to what Slash did on his first solo album.

Mick should have stretched out in the solo ... it was an I Love It Loud type solo where you question if its even a solo .

Overall too modern sounding with the vocals etc. Sounds like Pop Evil or something.

The short solo had a Shout tone at times.

Maybe I’m old but I can’t really hear the guitar over the noise, it bothers my ears.

Bring on The Beatles.
