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

Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

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".

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.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 5:29 pmExactly what I was thinking.

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??? WTFLAglamrocker wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 9:08 am Radar Love is horrible sounding song
