CureTheSane

Just lost interest.

Maybe people are so desperate for anything 80's they are suddenly able to put up with what would have been considered average actually in the 80's

Maybe it's just too AOR for me.

I just found it boring, syrupy and generic.

Id like to apologise to the feral looking pornstar Monk - after much wikiiiing... it was some other chick that was kicked out for stealing Monks money..

I'll pass on your apology when she wakes up

... but where the fuck is that going to go? The judges and point of the show is just so fucked up. I honestly don't understand the mindset for it. I hate it so much.

 

Anyway, as the story goes I was actually at work and walking through a doctor's surgery and noticed a glam band on a repeat of the show and made a mental note to watch re-runs to see what it's all about. Christ on a crutch it was hard work to get through it, though.

 

Suuuuuure,

Me thinks thou doth protest to much, and that you religiously record the show and watch over and over.

Yeah I meant that for every one time US people can't access clips online because of different country, we have it 10 times worse

Don't know, but she was in that band.

She has a great sense of humor though, I guess that may have helped her through the public stigma of her theft lol

Sophie Monk is cool as fuck, and I won't hear otherwise.

Any Aussies watching this wretched show? This was kinda cool on it;

I don't watch that show, well because it's kinda long and drawn out too much, but it's better than the others of the same ilk.

Cool to see this band on it. There were 3 clips.

I remember this CD when it came out. Never really did it for me. Songs were ok, but nothing more than that.

You guys who can't see the clips - take that and multiply by 10 for Aussies, where so many US clips are 'not available in my country'

Weird 'cause we live in a global society now more than ever....

Gravity.

Kids hated it.

I saw it at IMAX 3D so it was probably a lot more powerful the first time, but still enjoyed it again.

My 1995 list would be (in order)

Dangerous Toys - The R*tist Formerly Known As

Van Halen - Balance

Bon Jovi - These Days

Joey Tempest - A Place To Call Home

WASP - Still Not Black Enough

Slaughter - Fear No Evil

Nelson - Because They Can

Queen - Made In Heaven

Warrant - Ultrphobic

Slash's Snakepit - It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere

Michael Sweet - Real

Danger Danger - Dawn

Harem Scarem - Voice of Reason

Kix - Show Business

Thunder - Behind Closed Doors

Amaze Me - S/T

I thought LA Guns - Viscous Circle was 1994? If not it would be high on my 1995 list as well

Three really great songs off 3 for me.

Here For You

No One At All

I Live My Life For You

The rest is a bit 'meh'

As for the rest of the catalog, then there is a fair bit to choose from....

Don't Treat Me Bad

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Love Of A lifetime

Reach For The Sky

Rock You Tonight

Sleeping With You

When I Look Into Your Eyes

The Meaning Of Love

You Are My Religion

Acid Rain

Bringing Me Down

Dream

The Day, The Week, And The Weather (probably my favorite)

The Nights Were Young

I'd Do Anything

The Dark
Don't Fade On Me

I'd Rather Be Making Love

What You Can Do

Unbelievable

Loving You Is Paradise

I'm The One

Take Me Away

Let Go

Vocals kinda sound like Tom Keifer without the power or range.

I'm gonna go with this one...

Firstly, it's a great song, but...

Whoa, is that the biggest mullet you've ever seen?

If this guy acted like this these days he'd be in jail - stalking, assault, you name it.

Love the choir that comes in at various times.

I wonder if at the time this clip was seen as a good old joke and a bit of fun.
Now it's just creep[y, and at times he looks like a meth head and kind of special needs.

 

Holy shit! As we say in Australia, that's grouse!

 

... as we said in the 80's you mean

One of my absolute favorite cover song:

 

That was pretty cool.

Reminder me of an amazing cover by Dee Snider

For me it 'finished' the song that I always thought kinda went nowhere...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlptWs2Kxgo

I like covers where the song is either improved, updated or modernised (or in some cases metallised) or covers which present the song in a different and interesting way.

Hate covers where it's pretty much the same song rerecorded.

Not many covers are better than the originals, but some are.

Some of my favorites are

Radar Love - White Lion

Sound Of Silence - Bobaflex

Everything I Own - Tesla

Fuck You - Vains Of Jenna

Then you have songs which completely overshadow the originals

Cum On Feel The Noize - QR

Mama Weer All Crazy Now - QR

Mine is Funhouse (not the Pink song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0oJRnooOQQ

Dead Pool - pretty great

and they're just the ones I selected from the full list at the link...

Hardly 'new records'

Club Daze was 1999

Still Hungry 2004 and likely done so they'd get some royalties for the songs, even though it was done under the guise of 'not being happy with the production on the original'

As far as I know they haven't really played many gigs at all. Just bigger festivals.

If a band is really reformed, then they make new music and tour.

They didn't do wither, hence, not really reforming. (to me anyway)

 

 

Hard To Love - Harem Scarem

 

 

the whole album is perfection........isn't it??

 

Yeah, but for me the first time I heard of HS was when Melodic Rock posted acoustic versions of Hard To Love and Honestly.

I remember hearing Hard To Love and wondering how an electric version could be better

So for me, that song is a stand out, but over time I can see that the whole album is amazing.

Nope, no snare drum

I was a huge TS fan. I still think their material is amazing..

Ironically, their best song, Heroes Are Hard To Find (basically a Dee Snider song with the band brought in at the last minute) is not really known about very well.

Best live show I've ever seen.

They haven't really been reformed as such.

They came together for a fundraiser and then played the odd show here and there - I guess pretty much for cash.

Take The Dog Off The Chain - Babylon AD

I Hate Kissing You Goodbye - Tuff

More Wine Waiter Please - The Poor

Love Song - Tesla

Lit Up - Buckcherry

Nonstop To Nowhere - Faster Pussycat

Cum On Feel The Noize - Quiet Riot

Poison Apples - Motley Crue

Love Is A Lie - Great White

C'mon Take Me On - Hardcore Superstar

Hard To Love - Harem Scarem

Wanna Be The One - Haywire

Fly To The Angels - Slaughter

Never Enough - LA Guns

Say Goodbye - Krokus

Sober - Butch Walker

Epic - Faith No More

Thank God For Jack Daniels - Sex Slaves

The Love - Sammy Hagar

Your Disease - Saliva

I Don't Want To Say Goodnight - Mike Tramp

All This And Heaven Too - Michael Sweet

In Your Arms - Little Caesar

I believe it.
I think Dee is going to do his own thing for a while.

Lately he has a habit of speaking shit about his peers for press.

Latest one was ripping into the sentence Vince Neil got for Razzles death.

Of course this was a few days before We Are Twisted Fucking Sister was released.

Also recently commented on Vince's singing ability, Kiss and Tommy and Eric and makeup, and the Scorpions and Judas Priest.

One thing that shocked me was that the Milwaukee 2003 show was pretty much identical to the Melbourne 1987? show - same shtick, same rants didn't change in 25 years...

Glad I saw them in 2003 in Milwaukee. They never made it back to Australia, even though they PROMISED they would

Artifact - the story (documentary) of 30 Seconds To Mars vs Sony

Had seen bit of it before when flicking around but it was a pretty interesting movie.

Really puts into perspective the way record companies have always screwed artists.

Make you feel like they got what they deserved.

One interesting line was that the biggest seller of songs online was Apple - an electronics manufacturer.

Shows how badly the record companies refused to move forward and adapt.
