Metal T

ZZZzzzzzz.........Uninspired drivel.

Steve had to be one of hardest working,underappreciated singers in Hard Rock/Metal.His work on the GR and Lionsheart records still impresses.I've always appreciated the reverence he had for RJD.

RIP

ASPHALT BALLET - PIGS  (1993)

Originally never gave this one a fair shake and hated it...mainly because Gary Jeffries was no longer the singer.When I actually gave it a fair listen I really dug this one - pretty solid stuff.Kinda sounds like a lost GnR record.

Feds raided Mar-a-lago...the persecution and unreasonable,demonic hatred of Trump continues....political bloodbath-day of reckoning coming in November leftist turds

Worthless slug Joe Biden just gave another billion in US tax dollars to POS Ukraine...meanwhile declaring f@g- pox a national emergency....while tens of thousands of 18-45 year olds die consuming Chinese fentanyl coming up from Mexico...

Oh yeah useless dumbfuck democrats just expanded government again and gave new powers to the iRS….F**k Joe Biden and every one of you useless motherfuckers who voted for him....you can eat fucking shit...democrats are nothing but dick-eating pussies.

Klaus turned 74 earlier this year and tbh still sounds pretty good live' and on record....

Casual HOL fan,and by no means an expert on the band....but imo he still sounds ok

Billy Duffy has always been one underrated-kick-ass guitar player....

Faves:

ELECTRIC

SONIC TEMPLE

LOVE

CEREMONY

BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL

IMO,you can't go wrong w/ any of these...

Faves:

'Creatures'...'Lick It Up....'Animalize' &  'Revenge'

80's Ozzy' - he was on fire...

The only true turd in the Dokken' catalog is 'Shadowlife'....

Best non-Lynch records:

LIGHTNING STRIKES AGAIN

ERASE THE SLATE

BROKEN BONES 

Very cool...

Talon's 'Vicious Game'  (1986)...a very cool record he played on:

Pantera' =  Zzzzzz...

TBH the only record I've ever liked from this band was 'Power Metal' mainly because I prefer the traditional heavy metal style...to the loudmouth-ultra-OTT heavy style they adopted going forward.

It's not bad for what it is...I like the tune,but it sure as hell ain't  'Leatherwolf'.....just because you can scream at the end of every freaking line doesn't make you a great singer.Olivieri's vox have always been the signature of this band.That said i'll probably pick this up if for anything then Geoff Gayer's guitar playing.

I completely understand why 'Geoff'  feels like he does.The whole over-reaction to the Covid down there was mind-blowing.Whenever I see a person or people start losing their freedoms and the ensuing government overreach....I wanna tear someone's throat out.Once you start losing your civil liberties and freedoms it can often be d@mn near impossible to ever get them back - outside of major revolution.

Not a huge fan,but respect the talent.I've always thought that the guy has always done a solid job promoting his brand (Stryper) certainly a lot better then a lot of the other Christian metal bands (and yeah I know he doesn't consider Stryper a Christian metal band - but it goes with the territory whether he likes it or not) 

'Barren Cross' and 'Saint'...are a couple bands I still support when active,although neither had anywhere near the success Sweet and Co. had.Great bands nonetheless...

Got a digi-crap the other day and the d@mn thing was bent-to hell on the edges and the spindle spokes were broken

 Lucky me !

Why is there a dude playing a chick in the 'Cold As Ice' video-clip ? ...…..That's enough to gag a maggot

Band is ok,sound & style all been done before by better bands though imo.

I've always been a fan of the guy,it's a miracle though that he's still even alive given how hard he's lived with all the chemicals and dope he's put through his body over the decades.Cool of the Maiden-camp to help out...
