The Official Hard Rock / Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabilia Thread!

I played it at work (as background music), and I'm listening now with headphones, which is a much better listen.

I forgot to listen to it on my earbuds today while cutting the grass, but I'm giving it a second or third listen now and I'm digging the songs more than my initial listen.  It's amazing how consistent the band has been over the last six records.


As for the new Crue, it sucks and I agree with the comment about it being generic.  I loved the title track to Saints of LA, but haven't cared for anything else.  I remember really liking New Tattoo when it came out.  I think Nikki kind of forgot how to write kickass Crue songs after going full-on contemporary radio rock with Sixx AM (which I never got into).

If anything, it takes a couple of songs to get going but it hits a sweet spot in the middle.

I don't know anything about Halestorm but their singer Lzzy Hale sang for Skid Row last night and will sing for the next few shows.  She did very well, but the only option from this point is Sebastian.  Mind boggling if they bring in someone new, at this point it has to be Sebastian.  I read he was going to send them a nice email to come back to the band.

It does seem like things are aligning for a re-union and I'd imagine someone is going to throw them a bunch of money to do it.  Just not sure if the guys in Skid Row will actually want to.

Let me guess. The first album will be played in its entirety.

WASP just announced a US tour where they'll play their 40 year old first album with just one lip synching member that actually played on it! WTF?? 

Death Angel and Unto Others are opening, so at least the openers are interesting.

I saw WASP on that Crimson Idol tour which would be quite a few years ago, they were excellent I must say.  Recent footage I've seen though hasn't been to that standard unfortunately.  That's at least a great collection of songs to play live.  Seems awkward though as I doubt Animal will be played unless they alter the lyrics.  I know it's not on the album but it feels like it might as well should have been.

I suck like a beast.........ah no.....umm........I buck like a beast.......alright yeah, don't see it getting played. 

Not sure who Unto Others are but Death Angel seem pretty heavy and thrashy as a WASP opener.

Blackie agreed to playing the song live on their 2022/2023 tour for the band's anniversary.  The song was preceded by a video explaining the PMRC and censorship.  I'm sure they'll play the song on this new tour too.

Huh, I did not know that.  Totally missed it.  I'll check that video tonight.
