Radar Love is horrible sounding song
White Lion could not even make it sound listenable

Big Game first listen it was obvious this was worst song on cd.
GoldenEarring- the horrible generation

You fucking people.

This guy ain't even famous. You can't even follow the non existent "rules" to get in to the "3 Club".

Help I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone

You fucking people.

This guy ain't even famous.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Granted, a lot of people have likely heard "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone" on the radio, as they were huge hits and are still awesome classic rock tunes, but yeah, I doubt many casual listeners could tell you the guitarist's name on either of those songs. That said, he still rips on both of 'em...RIP, George.

THANK YOU. Horrible song. I wanted to strangle whoever convinced my beloved White Lion to cover that wretched trash, and then release it as a single??? WTF
