Yeah I like O2 .... too....and Prime Time...those two always seem to get a bashing but I like um!

'Prime time' is a cool album.

 

If 'O2' was a return to Firehouse's roots I'd never have listened to them in the first place. :)

O2 was one of Firehouses better CDs in recent years.

A real return to the roots of the debut.

 

To each their own I guess!

 

agree 100%. I really like O2.

 

 

I like O2 too. My only complaints was CJ rapping in "The Dark" and Bill singing.

Not that Bill's singing was bad I just prefer it when CJ sings.

I was watching 21 Jump Street, and I was shocked to hear the classic B-52's song channel Z, it made my whole night, they a superb band, loaded with musical talent,, and are solid from guitar string, to drumstick,

Arrested Development's G.O.B. used the Final Countdown to introduce his magic show in multiple episodes. Hilarious.

 

Someone mentioned Edward Furlong's buddy wearing an LA Guns shirt in T2. His red headed buddy (he holds the boom box playing GNR on the back of Furlong's dirtbike) is Danny Cooksey who fronted Bad4Good. Nineteen - what a great song!

 

And anyone out there aware that Matthew Gerrard of Regatta/Von Groove is pop song writing machine associated with Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Kelly Clarkson etc?

 

With credits like these you can forget about a Von Groove s/t reunion anytime soon:

He was also on a Nickolodeon show but I can't recall the name of it.

I remember him playing guitar and talking about GNR on that show when I watched it with my little sister back in the day. I remember seeing him in the show and saying to her that he was singing in Bad 4 Good and she was like "Who????"

Danny also played "Sam," who became Arnold's step-brother, on "Diff'rent Strokes" towards the end of its tenure... Mr Drummond got married to Sam's mom (Dixie Carter from "Designing Women" if memory serves)... probably brought Danny/Sam in due to the fact that by that time Gary Coleman was in his late teens and couldn't pull off the "cute little kid" act convincingly anymore.

Salute Your Shorts was (I think) the name of the Nick show he was on.

Around 5 years ago, I think, ESPN Baseball's Tonight was using the intro music from Mammoth's "All The Days" over some of its highlights. I actually mentioned it as a selling point in my eBay auctions at the time for their CD. Just thought I'd mention it.
