Yeah I care. I'm a huge Crüe fan and if you have seen them live in the last couple of years they still got it. IMO, this is about Mick. Period. I'd have more respect for them if they came out and said that this was about Mick ... it's no secret that the poor bastard's health is failing.

This Ain't The Summer Of LOVE - Blue Oyster Cult

No Sleep 'til Hammersmith - Motorhead ...

Altar Of Plagues: Teethed Glory And Injury ... sounds like industrial machinery having sex, and complaining about it. Loudly. I suspect it won't appeal to ANYONE else here

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jan/29/motley-crue-sign-death-pact-retirement A nice bit of advertising ahead of their 'last ever' tour ...

Dido

Feel The FIRE - Overkill

You mean, like a Great King Rat? Silly boy!

Lethal Weapon ... our son wanted to watch it ... who am I to argue?

Van Halen: 1984

Looks like you'll be getting a bigger kicking than me, mate

Warrior Soul's 'Chill Pill' was a real let-down after 'Salutations From The Ghetto Nation' ... mind you, everything that has come out under the WS banner since 'Space Age Playboys' has been shite, too ... Van Halen III - 'nuff said. While I'm thinking of Eddie and the boys, 'Diver Down' has never compared favourably when stacked up against 'Women And Children First' Crue following 'Shout ...' with the dog's dinner that was 'Theatre ...' I'm probably going to get some stick for this ... but after 'Operation: Mindcrime', I expected something far better than 'Empire' from Queensryche ...

Rush: Presto Fish: Raingods With Zippos Judas Priest: Turbo

Great album!

Genius! And kudos to the taxidermist

Script For A Jester's TEAR - Marillion

Darkness ON THE Edge Of Town - Bruce Springsteen

Yeah, some sections of the UK press went nuts over this story ... James Herbert would be laughing his little socks off ... It's good to see how everyone elected to leave out the quote from the Irish coastguard which basically said that the beacons were probably triggered by life-rafts coming adrift as the ship sank ... or that it's REALLY unlikely that it's still afloat, what with all those pesky Atlantic storms and what have you ... One thought ... if the rats onboard HAVE been eating each other, isn't there just going to be one GIANT rat left by now?

Have you seen the 'banned' Skittles commercial featuring the bride and groom in a motel bedroom?

I had all of the Wildhearts' stuff for a while ... the Mondo-A-Kimbo-A-Go-Go EP, the Fan Club version of Fishing For Luckies, all of the singles up to 'Lovebank' ... had to clear them all out when money got tight ... *sob* ... I've still got some bootlegs (including some stuff with their original singer) ...

ACTION! (Not Words) - Def Leppard

Love The Wildhearts mate and more should know about this excellent band,some of the best hooks ever written. Ginger's solo album 'A Change In The Weather' is pretty good, too - it collects the five (six?) singles he put out as a solo artists before his then-label went belly up ...

Great band and great call mate,cannot believe in their homeland no one knows about them. I was in the US when I first heard them (when 'Play Deep' was released, and 'Your Love' was being played a lot on the radio.) It took me a long time to track down the album here in the UK ... at the time, our radio stations were too busy playing bland, generic pop shite ... oh, hang on ... they still do that NOW!
