VH is now over in any form. All that's left is a tribute concery with SH and DLR sharing vocals, maybe MA singing a song. They can rotate guitarists through the band, and hopefully WVH would also participate. Would be a nice way to put a bow on the band and add to the legacy. Moving forward, as usual, if anyone wants to perform VH songs live including Sammy, DLR (if he un-retires) or any other band, then that's all ok.

Last album took me a long time to get into, and when i did I loved it as usual. I liked this song straight away though

First time I've seen this thread. Sorry for all you've been through and are going through. Hope you'll finally be on the mend.

I hadn't seen it but I saw them come out and say it was done on purpose for publicity. Watching above, at the start it seemed obvious that that was true, but then they kinda started pretending it was all live. I'd say most likely the singer had a brain fart and forgot that he needed to pretend to sing for a while. Either way, I don't really like the song anyway.

I was watching pretty much anything that came out with him in it, not sure why, everything have been very average. Usually not necessarily because of him, he mostly has had big billed parts, but reasonably small parts in the films. Last decent one he did was likely Expendables.

No I did not realise how disrespectful my commenst were as I had no idea he had cancer. I wholeheartedly retract everything I said, and wish him the best.

Yes, I should have buried those opinions and played it nice and proper here I guess. Look at the clip, he looks like an idiot dancing with his mic stand. And he does look about 80. Holy shit! just googles him and he's only 57. Damn.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience there buddy....

I think everyone has seen that part of the oscars

Saw this the other day. Not only completely cringe the way he stands with his mic stand, he probably has reached the point where he'd be better off having actors only in his clips, or animated or whatever. He looks about 80.

Same thing everyone said when Slang was released. Now everyone loves it.

Will Smith should have won an extra award with his tearful speech laster on. Note he didn't apologise to Chris for his poor taste joke, but that's all it was. and had he taken the high road, Chris would have copped a lot of shit, and probably been cancelled. As it stands now, I think most people feel that Chris got kinda what he deserved, so has been punished, and gets to walk away without much future condemnation. Smith on the other hand just looks like a tool and will likely be raked over the coals.

Also, I found it less 'punky' than their other stuff, much easier to like more quickly

Gave this a listen and was instantly impressed. First 3 or 4 songs were excellent. After that more hit and miss, but will see after a few more listens

I like 'em and I like this. Wretched And Divine was an amazing album Set The World On Fire also very good

I mean as a Swans fan, it was cool to see, but kinda concerned that there were no dickheads doing any damage to him. Was kinda hoping it would happen next week so I could be there at Marvel Stadium. Good to get it out of the way, great start to the season with two wins over a semi finalist and preliminary finalist from last year Next week hope to top it off with a win over a grand finalist in the Dogs. Then we have Kangaroos and Eagles, so looking pretty sweet for a 5 win start. As to the predictions for the season Premier: Swans Brownlow: Isaac Heeney (I got him for 15 bucks at 67 to 1 so I have a vested interest here Coleman Medalist: Ben Brown Wooden Spoon: Eagles Improvers: North Melb

I dunno, the more I think about this it looks like the grass wasn't greener post HEAT and Erik was a bit lost. Then maybe one of the SR guys saw the American Idol clip and thought "why not? Adds a flavour to the band and will get some press" If that actually happened then props to them. Do what you gotta do to survive and move forward. But unless Erik comes out and says "SR were my favorite band, I feel like Ripper Owens" then it's probably just a phase.

I'm a bit different to most here. ST was great obviously STTG was much heavier but after some listens it has some killer stuff. After that they went off the cliff. I've tried stuff post STTG with Bach and other singers with an open mind. i like to think I am open to changes (love post Jani Warrant, post Jack Great White etc), but in the end, shit music is shit music. Having a good and in vogue singer ain't going to polish a turd, so hopefully he cam help with the songwriting and they can put out something good. I'll give it a listen. Bach has made some gresat songs post SR, mostly ballads for me, not sure what that means.

Hopefully it comes good for me. I guess for me it's kind of overshadowed by the other 2 albums, which I really dig.

Apparently she did pretty will here. Took it like a champ.

Also Miss Crazy - I'm Sorry December

Not sure how well known these guys are. Local Australian band. To be honest, I've don't bother too much with local bands. Guess that has to change now that my daughter has joined Ablaze. https://www.facebook.com/ABLAZEband/

Yeah, just checked and the one I'm listening to is Ghosts Of Graceland which I missed. Don't know how this one was regarded 6 years ago, and it if makes my comment above make more sense.

Been listening to this, Kissin' Dynamite and Treat and of the three, this one and Kissin' Dynamite are the easy stand outs. Which isn't a good thing for Treat I guess.
