  1. Not too crazy about this new song
  2. Never got the love for this band, but will give the new one a listen and see what it's like
  3. Liked them since their debut, the last albums have indeed been hit and miss. Absolutely loved the title track off the last one
  4. I absolutely LOVE Hall Pass!!!! Lots of people don't see it as more than an average buddy comedy flick, but the chemistry between Owen Wilson and Jason S. and the supporting cast like Stephen Merchant, Richard Jenkins, Derek Waters and Rob Moran delivering one memorable quote after the next is what sets this movie apart form others I think, definitely a classic in my book! Plus Nicky Whelan is a real babe, absolutely stunning!
  5. I watched the first two, but then the people I was watching with got bored, so I never finished it. Remind me to do that. ;} Lame friends ;-) sure will
  6. Great stories man, love that type of stuff. Should be a scene in an 80s movie or book riding your bike to the mall, classic
  7. Saw Wild Tales again, recommended! Argentinean black comedy movie consisting of 6 short stories about revenge, good one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUnXv6R2HI8
  8. 3 weeks already?? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn On the flipside, lots of great albums to look forward to
  9. Which is why I dig it. Raised on Radio is a fantastic album My second favorite Journey album... hard for anything or anyone to compete with Escape. ROR was released my senior year of high school and I played the living hell out of it the entire summer of 1986. LOTS of fond memories of that one and specifically that period of time. Oh to be 18 years-old in the mid '80's once again! Oh yeah, Raised on Radio rocks lots of memories for me too albeit a few years after its release cause I was born in 1988 LOL....... what was that like back then? From the live footage etc. I think the album and subsequent tour were pretty successful. So did the band just call it quits after the tour, was there a falling out in the press, or just an ''indefinite'' hiatus.... how did you experience the whole thing back then?
  10. Hahahaha, some balls on those Spanish podcasters for playing half the album I will say this, the guitar solos are VERY good!!! By the way what's the shame on you song around the 35 min mark?
  11. Just listened to the songs, too much 70s / Deep Purple and not enough AOR for me
  12. Thought the same about Despicable Me 3, least funny of the 3. I liked the first two cause they had something for kids as well as grown ups, after seeing the third one I was wondering if kids would enjoy that cause I didn't really like it. I guess if your kids liked it it's more targeted at a younger audience this time
  13. Found them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoWj8v2Rr6g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENTbKE8iuE0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRAyLv-Vj40
  14. Are they releasing the first song today?
  15. I know that after his accident in 1992 the band returned to New York and that was basically it. Whether he got in touch with the rest of the band or not when trying to get the band up and running again I don't know. Maybe he did ask and the other members had other responsibilities now (job, family) or he didn't ask them in hopes of getting hired guns that wouldn't make as much money as a ''full'' or original band member I think anything is possible
  16. Haven't listened to that one since it came out so will have to check it out again. But I think I remember it sounding rather ''modern'' New band Enforcer sounds like an authentic NWOBHM or thrash band from the 80s, only problem is I don't like that style
  17. A Serious Man, didn't ''get it'' though
  18. Thanks for the input so far guys, appreciate it. Excited to see what you come up with
  19. A month and a half actually, album's not out till end of September
  20. I dunno, maybe I'll agree that on ''Lightning Strikes Again'' Jon Levin does sound like George Lynch alot, but those albums you and I mentioned don't line in with the bands' previous efforts seamlessly. The Whitesnake albums sound waaaay ''fatter'' than the 1987 s/t or ''Slip of the Tongue'' for example I remembered a different one, also a new band: Smokin Aces and their song ''You Take My Breath Away'' also sounds very early 90s to me, almost an Aerosmith Pump / Get A Grip vibe to it Would be nice to get gener8tr's view on this whole thing...
  21. Let's get a discussion going again, shall we..... inspiration for this is the latest thread about Boulevard releasing a new album after 27 years. I listened to the track they released and - as expected - it sounds very different from the first two records. Many years ago I realized and accepted that new material by old bands won't sound the same as they did in the 80s and 90s, whether it's the songs themselves or just the production and overall sound of an album. For example old bands that released material very different from their classic albums are Ratt with ''Infestation'', Dokken's last two albums, Mötley with ''Saints of Los Angeles'' or the last few Whitesnake albums. Which brings me to my question: Do you guys know of any bands that managed to release an album - let's say after the year 2000 - that sounds like it could have been released during that band's or performers heyday? One band that comes to mind that pulled it off is not an old but a new one: Sonic Station. Their 2012 debut actually sounds like it could have legitimately been released in the early 90s. Hope you know of some other examples and hopefully from old bands as well
  22. Hmmm, that was unexpected...... of course the new track sounds nothing like the old stuff but I'll give it a try when it's out
  23. I refuse to watch that drivel. By the way, check my latest post in the ''Introductions'' category, there's a question for you about your favorite album
