Country!? really? wowie. Their "Poison" song isn't all that great, I agree. It's that performance on Jimmy Fallon that shows some serious stage presence. What are the titles of some of their real smokers?

I'm pretty new to them. I was taken aback and frankly quite stunned when I saw this video taped performance from 5 years ago. Talk about a major-general command of the stage! Holy cow. I've only seen such a level from the likes of Ronnie James Dio, I swear. Whaddya think? youtu.be/VSJ9N-aCUOE

Care to preview...? "pre-hear" right here: youtu.be/YGchlqCjj8AThis band has some good songs. Apparently, their marketing is all about the chickie. She's a power house. The best tunes that I like have some great, sexually charged lyrics. I don't know too much about this band other than a handful of remarkable songs. I was watching "Bar Rescue" and they featured this band on one of their bar projects grand re-opening. They caught my ear and I remember pics being posted on some older thread around here of the singer...

I like the way they made it their own but kept it so there's proper homage to the original. He, he, he...

...when he answers "My Dad" for passed musicians that he'd like to jam with and credits Wolfgang for sparking his creativity, it makes you have hope that he'll stay sober this time 'round!

Well, I for one can't live without this sh*t. Thanks for being the vanguard, point man, Spacel0rd.

As for music, it seems young folks have completely lost the art of high fidelity recording and sound capture. I don't think the majority of folks these days even know what it is. Comments on youtube indicate this endlessly. The new medium is teeny lil' ear-buds and itsy-bitsy speakers on their iPads and other devices. The young think they sound good and post substandard tunes that invariably sound like your head is in a vat of vibrating jelly-beans with tinny melody coming thru in the distance. It's like they're unaware of the sonic spectrum and don't give a flip about quality.

Dunno if you guys had already discussed this or not, but I saw this advertised for a bit before it aired. It piqued my interest, so I made sure I watched at least the first episode. It's a very good and impressive 'documentary' about music, musicians and fans of music. I didn't know squat about Dave Grohl, but now I do. He has respect for his musical roots. The series is an appropriate homage with compelling content. I not only learned about Dave, but I also learned of many past music 'scenes' and artists that have lineage to much of the music I've been enjoying all my life. I do recommend checking into it. I haven't viewed all of the series, but I've seen four episodes and they were equally excellent.

Ready to feel old? I told a 28 yr old last night he looks like a young Phil Collins. He asked me...Who's Phil Collins? I then turned to the 26 year old bartender and said "He doesn't know who Phil Collins is." She said...Phil Who? We are in a society where no one looks back. People want an Iphone7 on the day Iphone6 is released. This is why so many young people think Hitler is still alive today. If we don't look back and appreciate our history, we are bound to repeat it. Before you know it whites and blacks will be killing each other again... ...oh....wait Crimany sakes! My best friend, the last time we hung out together, was on a rant about how dumb folks are getting. Especially young people. He went on about how "if they can't google it, then it's either false or not important". I coaxed him to calm down and tried give a hopeful spin on the sentiment. A bit of time went by. My car broke down so I started walking to work. People drive dumb. Too fast on their own street, they tailgate their own neighbors, they litter in their own neighborhood. While driving, one out of a hundred will give quarter to me, the pedestrian. Most, rev-up, gear-up and blow on by without even a tad of going wide. I'm not exclusive either. My neighbor with their toddlers and one in stroller, experience the grand-prix racing techniques of dumb-ass drivers without a speck of courtesy. I'm talking, small country lane(s) without sidewalks too. Kids, a group of five of them, talk on their cell phone in the street during broad daylight doing dope deals without having the were-with-all to even have one person as a look-out, nor to step behind a fence. I agree with my bud now. Folks, especially children are more dumb than they've ever been. It's like they're no longer standing on the shoulders of accomplished, competent and courteous folks. It's gone too many generations apparently. The dummies are standing on the shoulders of clueless numbskulls.

Even the new bands that have good hooks and melodies are devoid of lead guitar breaks. The phenomenon is quite conspicuous, lame and sad.
It's true, the seasoned veteran hard rock bands such as Accept and a few others are putting out great new music.

Here is "Fake Healer" from "Blessing In Disguise". Different singer, same great Metal! One of the best songs in the catalog IMO. 100% bad-ass! I've never listened to these guys before... Thanks!

I just found out that Uli "Ulrich" Jon Roth has a recently released CD of a bunch of awesome Scorps remakes. Somebody has posted a pile of tracks on YouTube. Powerful, good shit indeed. He's got a good singer that holds up to the plentiful lightning strikes of guitar wizardry. This is enjoyable (in my opinion): youtu.be/zEx0Da8hekU

Oh shit. I like the "Here Comes Trouble" album all the way through. HA! Howe is all over it. Other than that, I like all their radio hits, big-time.

Veddy interesting. So, this is from one of their rock operas about the game you mention? It's a bit unusual, but with a big sound and enjoyable depth. Good find, Spacel0rd.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra songs are like Penguins in the Antarctica. They remind you of cold weather…and they are almost all the same. I love your way with words, Man. Sublime!
