Sad or just growing up, old and out.

Sorry kiddos but we all will be old, out of shape, fat and a mere shadow of our 20 year old self's.

 

 

That said if I am asking you to give me $75 usd to see me sing, I am at a minimum still going to be able to sing (maybe tune down as with age the register falters for some) regardless if I can see my dick or not when I pee...

Great song from a great band! And Insane is bang on. Father time wins out everytime.

You would be far less irritable and frustrated if you just came to the realization that you are incapable of understanding the grand design. Also, if you accept the fact that life is not and will not ever be fair, you'd find yourself less disappointed over the course of it.

But why care about someone else's belief system at all? Should positivity be considered a character flaw? And why would you want to muddy a kick ass music site like this one with such a polarizing topic, anyway?

Pre ordered

Preordered. I believe there are two links to order. North America and the rest of the world.

Wasn't Parrish in Atomic Punks briefly?

Eyes is my fave project from the super productive JSS. Why isn't Frontiers asking those guys to reunite for a proper follow up to their self titled debut?

I love that.

Is Sid Fletcher from Roxy Blue a possible candidate? Curious to hear other opinions on him.

Wow! Nearly gone. Thanks for looking into it.

Hey Alpha. This link doesn't appear to be working. Is there another one?

Weird. You promote an album of demos by releasing a song that won't even be on it?  I like it and think it's tremendously idiotic to omit it.

Thanks for sharing this. Will be looking into it.

Autograph Jr. I believe Plunkett cowrote every song, produced and did backing vocals and Rich Cox even sounds like him at times. Great album! No Plunkett around for their second cd and it shows. Hair bands were out and they adjusted their sound. Nonetheless I still love the song Crushin Velvet on album #2.

Looking forward to this one.

Really like it. Looking forward to hearing a full album.

That is a pretty fair comment.
I saw SLR live, but that was when he toured solo with the stage set up with surfboard into the crowd, and boxing ring etc.
Mostly at that point it was Kiss style theatrics, which I wasn't complaining about.
Maybe with VH he was at a different level?
When I compare frontmen, I do so to Dee Snider. What he was able to do with an audience was amazing.

Totally forgot about Dee Snider who could worm his way all the way to #2 for me. I'm assuming you've seen the documentary We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! What an absolute animal, Snider was/is. It's a shame most write them off as a cartoon band middle schoolers rocked out to. They were so much more before they went mainstream.

Roth wrote the book on fronting a party rock band and is peerless in that regard. The wardrobe, the look, the diva like braggadocio on the mike and theatrics on and off the stage. Pair that with his in concert gymnastics and genius lyrics and you are witnessing someone that will likely never be rivaled. Roth is the greatest of all time.

But Hagar is his own beast and is certainly more than just a voice live, he is an unstoppable force of nature in his own right and along with Steve Whiteman, I can't think of two other front man I would want for my band.

I'm with Geoff. Anything they put out I'll pick up and hope for the best. And their live show has always killed so I will continue to see them every opportunity I get.

Physical release in the plans or strictly download?

Preordered.

You gotta love this band...always a good day when they release an album.

Exactly. You know what you're getting from AC/DC; the same thing we've come to love for the past 40+ years.

I suspect zac and I are roughly the same age and yea, Im proud to be Canadian.

I remember every show Darkstone references fondly 'cept the Beachcombers. Hated it as a kid. Most of my friends had American cable but my best friend and I had what was mocked as Canadian cable; 3 channels CBC, CTV, CKND and a French version of CBC so we endured some pretty weak programming.

While everyone was wolfing down their sugar cereal in front of Saturday morning cartoons we were watching:

The Mighty Hercules, Rocket Robin Hood, The New Adventures of Pinocchio and Tales of the Wizard of Oz. Search those out on Youtube and prepare yourself for a drug free acid trip.

Sass is class. I agree. Hard to top this tribute. If she posts a follow up, I'd appreciate if someone posts it here. I had heard she had met with Van Halen but I'd love to hear the intimate details of what transpired between them.

Great read. Thanks for the info. Will investigate further.

Would love to hear the history you are referring to if you care to share it again. So Sleaze and the alternate version of Money are the only differences from the compact disc?
