One thing I don't understand is why so many people in the GOP and on the right are cheering Putin on in this war.

Is that really a thing? 

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I've heard anything like that.

Out of curiosity, what should Biden be saying and doing that you would approve of?

Pretty much the opposite of what he's saying and doing now.

He's not a strong Leader, never has been and Countries like Russia with Leaders like Putin are more than willing to take advantage of that.

As for what he should specifically be saying or doing, I have no idea and I don't think anything he could have done would've averted this. It was a done deal once he won the election.

This one's gotta be right up there.

How the fuck has America become so weak?

All I can say is that it's lucky Russia decided to invade Ukraine instead of the US.

Basically Red Dawn without Patrick Swayze and that's not good. (Wolverines!)

Bring on '24 and the return of Trump. It's gonna happen. 

Metal T mentioned buyers remorse regarding the Biden administration. 

I think the midterms will reflect that 100%.

I've posted this one before in the covers thread, but it belongs here as well.

A KILLER cover that slays the original IMO.

I consider us all as "Rock N Roll Outlaws".

Pump this one up!!!

This one is by no means a great track, but very unlikely. 

I remember when this song was released and thinking "WTF?".

Am I the only one who doesn't find Jim Jeffries preachy comedy funny?

No. You're not.

Jimmy Carr is awesome.

Locally I guess either Isaac Butterfield or Kinne

Actually, this question has shown how pathetic our stand up comedy roster is.

There is of course, Hannah Gadsby.

I'm sure Cody would love her. She's very easy on the eyes as well.  

Yeah, Micky Flanagan is great. This is a good clip.

We don't really have any controversial stand ups down here.

I guess you could say Jim Jeffries, but I'm not really a fan.

Go back to the 80s and there were a few including Col Elliott and the Legendary Rodney Rude, but they were more "dirty" than controversial.

Didn't catch it when the tracklist was released but this album includes a cover of Frank Stallone's "Far From Over".  I love that song, it's an all-time favorite of mine, but I can't say I'm dying to hear a cover of it.

Also a favourite of mine.

I'm interested. 

"House of Lords" have remained very solid over the years IMO.

Having said that, their first three albums are by far their best.

Here's one from each.

Yeah, but wouldn't you love more bands to tour your country? My corner of the world rarely gets any good Rock bands. If there was a resurgence, there might be more demand for them.

Maybe when I was your age, but I'm too much of an old fart now to go to gigs.

100% get your point though.

Just as I hoped it would. This show could be a great thing for our genre. 

I was thinking the same thing.

"What goes around, comes around".

We could be on the verge of a resurgence of our music in the mainstream.  

Stranger things have happened. 

Although, I have to say that I enjoy the fact that our music is quite niche and not know to many.

Just the chosen few.

Easy one for me, Warrant's "Rockaholic."

Yep.

Rockaholic for me as well.

Favourite track is of course, "Dusty's Revenge".

I'm trying to think of a witty reply, but the beers are kicking in.

I'll get back to you.

Steel Panther own this genre and always will.

Even though I have many, if not all in digital form, I'm not familiar enough with them to also select a favourite track, so I'll abstain and that also includes other years I haven't commented on.

Also, a big thank you to Auslander. 

Great threads mate.

Great riffage!

Thanks for the heads up DP.

Been a fan of these guys from back in the day and I've loved their recent incarnation. 

I agree about covers adding a bit more to the original without reworking it to within an inch of its life.

There are a few notable exceptions of course.

Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help From my Friends" springs to mind.

This version of "Love Gun" by "Stone Sour" is great, but as CTS said, ultimately, I'd rather listen to the original. 

Seven, reporting for duty!
