Was more impressed with Janick Gers. That dude did not stop moving and running. Dave and Adrian obviously said "yeah, fuck jumping up and down" lol Bruce's voice was impressive still. Link popped up on Facebook that Niko can no longer play old songs, but when I opened it there was a popup ad, and went back and the link was gone, so have no info on that. -

Anyway, I'm excited to see Extreme, again, on Tuesday. And then I'm going to some symphony in London at the end of the month. -

I saw The Midnight on Friday. Wasn't very good. Tyler's vocals are getting worse every time I see them, but this time the female vocalist was also very pitchy and over-singing, the saxophonist was missing a lot of notes, and the guitarist totally botched his solos. No issues with the drummer, but it felt like the rest of the band was high. I miss Tim. -

· Boston - S/T (1976) – The earliest influence on my musical tastes was my father. He had a large vinyl record collection and one of the records he often played was the debut album from Boston. The guitars, vocal harmonies, and great melodies started me down the path of my love for melodic rock · The Cars – S/T (1978) – I enjoyed a lot of new wave/synth artists in the early 80’s and the Cars were one of my favorite acts from that genre, I still listen to this album regularly · Judas Priest – Screaming For Vengeance (1982) – melodic metal makes up a large part of my collection and Iron Maiden & Judas Priest have been favorites since the early 80’s · Def Leppard – Pyromania (1983) it perfectly combined pop and hard rock and has remained my favorite album of all time to this day · Van Halen – 1984 – Eddie Van Halen was my hero growing up, a soft spoken larger than life guitar icon whose riffs, solos and songs became a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. With 1984 it all came together from the hit songs to the unforgettable videos. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him his passing felt like I had lost a longtime friend · Bryan Adams – Reckless (1984) – for me, no album epitomizes 80’s pop/rock like this album with big hooks, great production and radio ready songs; listening to it always brings me back to fun, carefree, summertime days · Guns n' Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987) – what a year for hard rock with Hysteria, Whitesnake S/T and this album to list just a few; when I think of sleaze metal these guys set the standard for others to follow · Queensrÿche – Operation: Mindcrime (1988) – while I had never really gotten into progressive rock/metal up to that point in my musical adventure, my enjoyment of this album opened me up to exploring more from the genre · Savatage – Gutter Ballet (1989) – the band started their journey into more epic style arrangements with Hall of the Mountain King but for me they reached their peak with this release. The title track remains one of my favorite songs with that great piano intro and started my interest into symphonic and power metal for years to come · Dan Reed Network – Slam (1989) – I enjoyed several songs by Prince during the 80’s and could have easily placed one of his albums on this list, so when funk metal had its moment in the late 80’s/early 90’s I was all in. Slam has been one of my go-to albums ever since
