I like it.

I don'tind daylight savings. This year is fucked though as I never really adapted to Aussie time after being in the UK for a while.

Been back a week and still not getting to sleep until 5am lol

Can't watch it these days.

Probably will be cancelled due to lack of diversity and Jake's made at the time that are suddenly offensive to everyone.

Friends was great.

They got too heavy and lacked melody and hooks as a general rule for me in recent times.

I saw them when they toured a few years ago and they were great, but it became too much like hard work to get into their music.

I need to have a look at this album, I think it was released earlier this year.

Pop Evil have an amazing vatalog that is largely overlooked by hard rock fans.

Footsteps, torn to pieces, waking lions, trenches, boss's daughter, purple, beautiful, 100 in a 55 and more are all killers songs.

Last couple of albums have leaned a bit alternative and grungy, with only a few good songs off each.

This new one sounds great though, hope it's an indicator of a tlrerurn to form.

Site actually looks ok.

Good way of rekindling acquaintances with bands that have slipped off the radar.

Yep, 100%. It's almost at the point where I dread when one of the songs pops up on my 2023 playlist now. Will probably start removing. They're technically keepers, but by the smallest of possible margins. 

Except the last song, that one is below par.

Posted about them before, but seems minimal interest in them here.

Were supposed to your Australia with the treatment but recently cancelled 😮‍💨

For me Fat Bottomed Girls Trump's the original.

CD is pretty good.

Yep. Always good when Butch is back. Solo or M3 😀

Can't find anything here about this, but M3 have reformed.

Just saw 2 new songs on YouTube with a new album mud October.

This is great news.

Given this 3 or 4 spins now and it's a really good album.

Pretty sure my comment above was referring to My Favourite Enemy which I now really like. Stand out track for me.

First listens can easily be off.

But pretty much every so is a keeper for me.

Only problem is that if above 5/10 means the song is a keeper, most of the songs are a 6 with a few 7's. 

So good songs, but not much that really pops out as killer tracks.

Been listening to this later and it's pretty good.

If I'd heard it back in the day I would have loved it, but hard to hear it now with the same vibe.

Very Babylon AD sounding on some songs.

Just thinking about it. I don't know how many tracks they'll perform, maybe three? 

Nothing too obscure, just ones they're known for in the mainstream. 

It's not my favourite KISS track and I hope they don't, but I reckon they'll definitely do "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II".

I think "Rock and Roll All Nite" for sure also.

I'd love to hear "I Was Made For Lovin' You"...

 

 

...unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna hear "Hide Your Heart".

 

Reckon it will be

Detroiu Rock City
I Was Made For Lonin You
RNR All Nite

Go the Lions

I do not like that one single bit.

Yep, he should just stiock to coaching Carlton...

Recent posts on their Facebook page show laying guitars and vocals for the album.

This is great news.
I fucking love Station

Yep, Living Colour a weird choice.

Mr Big were a good fit.

Skid Row are supposed to be coming back (I still have tix from their first show which was cancelled and then their second shoe which was cancelled)

May as well team up and get it done finally.

Saw extreme with Mr big a few tears ago when they toured together.

Both were awesome.

Would go again, especially after the last album, but another band touring while I'm overseas 😔

We have Culture Club touring next week. Never seen them, so would go have a look but I'll be in China
Same with Paul McCarney. He is coming here in October when I'm in London. 

See You On The Dark Side was amazing. More keepers on that than any other for me.
Hell Of Fame was average, only 5 there.
Still listening to FUBAR so can't really rate yet.

Having given it another 4 or 5 goes I really like this. It's way more pop than rock, which I know disappoints some, but they're catchy tunes. 

disappoints me, but if the songs are good, they are good.

(speaking as a fan of Gun's phone number album :) )

Chris Laney
David Lee Roth
Robbie Williams

I don't really disagree with that statement. To be honest with you, I might even include 1984 as being overrated, as blasphemous as that may be, because I don't think it lives up to being the amazing record it's often advertised as (though, I am admittedly probably looking at it from a different point of view than some may be, as I wasn't even born yet when it was released).

Yeah, I could get on board with that.
Jump, Panana, Hot for Teacher are all amazing songs.
I'll Wait is the only other one I remember from the album, which was OK.

Boston's self-titled record being there is straight blasphemy.

But I'm confused how VH's OU812 is the album they picked as not only being a classic, but the overrated classic as well? I mean, it's not a bad album by any means, but  I've never met anybody who has been like, "No dude, OU812 is the BEST Van Halen album there is, full stop. Don't try and change my mind." 

I mean I'd say every VH record prior to 1984 is overrated because to me they are all pretty average with only a few stand out songs

Hope there is better on the album.
