Have you heard Geddy Lee live lately. Yikes. It's a good thing Rush is still excellent instrumentally.

Halfcan will be along shortly to bludgeon you in the face with Neil Peart's drumsticks.

Def Leppard is no longer good, they're older and haven't adapted to change, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith has been smart enough to keep himself marketable.

Besides when it comes to rock - most went from Motorhead to LA Guns then to Metallica - then Ministry and then took off onto the road less traveled listening to other artists such as Primus, Overkill, Fugazi The Butthole Surfers, etc etc.. I had a hard problem not turning my head on that Ratt sound, once 1988 passed, quite honestly. Though I had it at the time, Out of the Cellar was a great piece of work, back then.

Most never could convert, Bon Jovi - laugh all you want, was one that could self-market himself throughout time.

I think the ear needs to get away from that style of rock - it's ok to reminisce too - or whatever, but that style won't be considered 'classic' for about 7 or 8 more years, then at that time a re-visit MAY be necessary, but it may even be longer than that.

I can give the rockers shit - they give the people who like hip hop and breakbeat shit all of the time. Besides I still like some rock, but usually the road less traveled.

LMAO I love Rush, but Lee cannot sing anymore.

You're playing with fire now. He's going to play YYZ across your face.

Bon Jovi has sold more than 100 million records.

I've always appreciated his conviction and artistry.

Yeah, WM is a very cool company and definitely has carved out a niche for itself in the marketplace. He hooked Corbin Bernsen up with some dank at some point, he said all he wanted to do was yell "Dorn!" the entire time he was around him. Guess Bernsen was pretty much a prick to work with.

he pulled a lot of trim over the years. Talk about a rock star.

the people who still look for Def Leopard are the same folks that rent only Barbara Dare VHS tapes for their porn night.

Never heard of her.

Clearly, you're not a fan of Def Leppard.

They've sold over 100m records, worldwide. A lot of people like them. :)

It was all P.R.

He's been married to his high school sweetheart since before they hit.

He has like four kids, one of which just recently overdosed on heroin.

Sometimes, even the good guys can't win.

Jesus, I hate to talk about this shit, but every time I've been around Corbin, he was super cool.

Keep in mind, acting, music, blah, blah, blah, DOES require professionalism.

Warren is a trendsetter and cool dude.

that's fine... like what you like - I'm tired of caring. There's like three or four people that like my style of music on here, Zooted Granny - Reaper (at times) and maybe KC United, Ultra Peanut so I really have no voice w/ my take... my tastes are very peculiar.

I like your taste in music. :D

You've definitely turned me on to music I would have otherwise ignored.
