I bought the new album and it's pretty solid. The 1st one is ok, but I like the new one a lot better.

Back in the early to mid 80s there was a syndicated show that used to come on Sunday Afternoons. It was a music Trivia gameshow hosted by Bowzer of Sha Na Na. It was called the Pop ‘N’ Rocker Gameshow and I used to love it. Well I went digging around on Youtube and found this archive. I still remember seeing this episode live. It was the first time I ever saw Motley Crue.

And no company nowadays would be a sponsor for a show that has a Confederate Flag on top of its car. They’d be way too afraid of losing consumers.

Is this the same drum kit Metallica used on St. Anger?

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? Oh yea. That first song is a blue print of modern country with the guitars turned up a little bit. In fact, I think most of today’s popular hard rock songs are constructed to imitate modern country. And modern country blows. Hits by the likes of Shinedown, Pop Evil, Halestorm and Nickelback could be marketed as country songs. I mean…country sells nowadays. So in order to make money a band HAS to have songs that are embraced by younger fans of “country music” (yes. I put that in quotes). It’s why I stopped listening to the hard rock radio station in Columbus (The Blitz) about ten years ago. I go find my OWN newer hard rock bands on the internet. Bands that aren’t afraid to do what they feel without the pressure of having a record company wanting them to have that big, sugary, hook-laden, country-flavored hit. I saw Halestorm live a few years ago. It was all find and dandy…but when it comes to hard rock give me bands like The Sword, Mastodon, Queens of the Stone Age and Truckfighters any day of the week. An ironic fact about country music: When I was a kid I would listen to metal to revolt against grownups who listened to country. Now, as an adult, I listen to metal to revolt against kids who listen to country. …But I do like me some outlaw country. I just hate the Blake Sheltons of the world.

My spare bedroom is getting a makeover. I’m gonna turn it into quite the nostalgia room. When one walks in they will be transported back into the bedroom of a 1985 teenager. The door won’t just be a plain old bedroom door. It’ll be a door through time. I’ll have: -Old-school looking posters on the wall -A cassette holder with some 80s cassttes -A boombox -Some old Circus Magazines on the floor -An old rotary landline phone (that’s not hooked up) -Some old Steven King books on a shelf -Playboys under the bed -An old-school little TV -A few VHS tapes -A pair of drum sticks and a guitar
I’m going to make it so if you’d walk into this room you’d say, “Oh, yea. 30 years my friend down the street had this EXACT room!”
…now I just need permission from "the boss" to start my project.

We are going to Vegas April 16-21 and Pat Banatar is playing there the 18th. So I plan on going to that. I also won tickets to the Moody Blues on the radio a few months ago for their April 8th show here in Columbus, Ohio.

I actually first got into this album about 2 years ago. I know...I was around 28 years late to the party.

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

I think I’m moving to Sweden since every cool rock band seems to be Swedish. The Swedes have taken over my phone’s playlist. I’ll send ya all some little meatballs
Another great rock band from Sweden: (Think Whitesnake meets Van Hagar meets Y&T)
You're so very welcome.

(I'm Jamie)...and It’s funny how Teresa and I becomes “friends’ at the end of it all….
The 15 Most Downloaded Songs in Rock History
Jamie 2 hours ago 0 55 I miss when popular "rock" actually rocked. In order to find really cool rock bands one has to really dig deep and do some research. The payoff is well worth the effort, though.
Replies (31)
Captain Awesome Captain Awesome 2 hours ago 0 1 List some please....curious if Rock is still alive in this era. The only thing I can find that's good is Slash with Myles Kennedy. Jamie Jamie 2 hours ago 3 2 The Sword, Truckfighters, Manchester Orchestra, Mastodon, Wo Fat, Murder By Death, Blood Ceremony, Ghost B.C., Queens of the Stone Age, Red Fang, Graveyard, Opeth, Clutch, Steven Wilson, Baroness, Bloody Hammers, Gypsyhawk, Orange Goblin are all putting out good stuff today. And Witchcraft's Legend just might be the best hard rock album of the last decade. Well, it's close to Mastodon's Once More 'Round the Sun and Opeth's Pale Communion. And even old bands like Accept and Testament are now recording some of the best albums of their careers. teresa teresa 2 hours ago 4 2 So... just wondering how old y'all are. Are you aware that people have been complaining since forever that you really "have to dig" to find good music? It's due to a psychological mechanism that makes people need to feel like they're uniquely superior. Jamie Jamie 2 hours ago 1 12 That is so not true, Teresa (even though I AM uniquely superior...ha). There was a time when real, great, cool, unapologetic rock was thrown in our faces. Bands like Van Halen, Zeppelin, G n' R, Pearl Jam were thrown in our faces by the radio and Mtv. And these bands had real, bonafide rock stars fronting them. These rock stars were the kinda guys you wanted to watch and listen to, but not date your daughter. And it was great. Nowadays, we get what you see on this list. I'm 45 and when I was a kid part of the reason I listened to rock was as a rebellion against grownups. Now part of the reason I listen to it is as a rebellion against younger people and their sugar-coated ears. It's so ironic. Brian Brian 2 hours ago 0 7 Well said, Jamie. Remember when rock had balls and did everything it could to remain separate from pop music? teresa teresa 2 hours ago 5 3 The psychology thing is totally true. Meanwhile, Pearl Jam, for example, continues to release amazing music. No digging required. Jamie Jamie 2 hours ago 0 2 And you can read what a lot of rock bands say who tour Europe. They all say the same thing...The States just aren't into rock like they used to be. There's no money to be made touring here. They go to Europe and do huge festivals or play to a packed smaller venue. Here, they play to a half-sold-out club. And I dare you to name TWO genuine, real rock stars today who are under the age of 40. I mean...a guy like David Lee Roth or Steven Tyler. One of those two I'll give you is Jack White. And he'll be 40 in five months! Ready? Name them: Jamie Jamie 2 hours ago 1 0 Teresa...how many of those new Pearl Jams songs are played on the radio?? Maybe one...for about a month? Then it's forgotten about and everyone goes back to remembering them as "the band who did Ten". You're so wrong, but you won't see it...and that's fine. You're one person with her opinion. Jamie Jamie 1 hour ago 0 4 And the hard rock that IS thrown in our faces is all this Shinedown, Pop Evil, Nickelback #$%$-o-la. All compressed country music with turned up guitars and a bit faster tempo to make it seem like rock. It's cookie-cutter music. Jamie Jamie 1 hour ago 0 2 NOW who is try to seem uniquely superior with something they learned in a 9 week college course? I don't need your worthless 2 cent "enlightenment" And a lot of that I gave you was simple fact. teresa teresa 1 hour ago 1 0 Dude, WHY are you listening to the radio?? teresa teresa 1 hour ago 5 0 "Enlightenment" is a word in the English language with a regular definition. I can't help that you're interpreting it through your "pop culture" filter. Jamie Jamie 1 hour ago 0 0 To be honest, I don't often listen to the radio. I listen to the songs on my phone on shuffle mode. But that doesn't mean the radio is off 100% of the time. There's still a part of me who is sometimes listening to popular rock radio waiting to here that song or band to wash away what's popular now (like how Smells Like Teen Spirit washed away hair bands). I keep hoping to hear that jolt...that kick in-the#$%$ different band that knocks popular music on it's side. A game-changer. It never comes. But, damn, I give the radio a shot a day or two every month in hopes..cuz we are long over due. I'm very happy a different band like Mastodon is selling albums and doing well on the concert circuit. That's a glimmer of hope. And ya gotta understand: I don't WANT to always dig for music I like. I'd love for some of the bands I listed above to become big. It won't happen, but it'd be cool if it did. teresa teresa 1 hour ago 1 0 I guess that's where we differ. I've listened to the radio once (that I can remember) since around the time I finished undergrad (1999, btw). It was a year or so ago on a long road trip. I just did it to hear what was going on with the country stations because I had heard it was a laugh. It stopped being funny after a couple of hours so I just turned it off. I just wish people would spend their time and energy finding things to like and talking about that instead of listening to things they hate and then broadcasting all the negativity about it. I honestly have no idea who all the afore-mentioned "bad" bands are. I might have heard them before, but I just didn't pay attention or just turned something good on instead instead of fixating on the bad music. And I can totally find value in hair bands! Captain Awesome Captain Awesome 1 hour ago 0 1 Thanks Jamie, I'll check those bands out later on. Jamie Jamie 1 hour ago 0 1 Hey...I Iiked a few hair bands. As the whole era went on, the bands got a bit more watered-down and a bit more silly. But, as a whole, there were some good songs to come out of it all. And as a person who is passionate about music, who would love to see a change, you HAVE to #$%$ about the bad stuff as much as you praise the good stuff. I wish I could ignore what I think is bad, but I'm not wired that way. And country music of today makes me sad. Real sad. Garth Brooks had some good moments, but he was pretty much the beginning of the end. If you want to hear a newer country artist who sings from his heart (and not just his bank account), listen to Sturgill Simpson. I thought his 2nd album, Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, was one of the best albums of 2014. It did crack the country top 20 album chart...and I hope he has a great future in the genre. Greaseman Greaseman 1 hour ago 0 0 This is why I don't listen to the radio anymore. Satelite radio is worth the $10 bucks I pay a month, and I'm usually listening to the rock stations. In fact Octane (modern hard rock channel) is the most listened to channel on satelite radio. I also love Ozzie's Boneyard and Hair Nation. teresa teresa 1 hour ago 0 0 Try Slaid Cleaves, Ryan Bingham, and Hayes Carll. And if you don't know about Ray Wylie Hubbard yet, just go ahead and download his entire catalog. Course, I also like Imagine Dragons and Taylor Swift, so what do I know. Jk, jk. Seriously, though, Taylor is awesome. Captain Awesome Captain Awesome 1 hour ago 0 0 Yeah, I call the new country songs "poptry" because they resemble pop music more than the classic country music. Randall Flagg Randall Flagg 1 hour ago 0 1 I have to agree that rock music just isn't popular anymore. It isn't about "psychological mechanisms"; I will be the first to admit that TV and movies are better than they ever have been. Music on the other hand is all about "beats". If you are a rocker, and like actual singers without autotune or music with actual instruments, you are out of luck. There are a few bands worth checking out though. I see The Sword, Queens of the Stone Age, and Myles Kennedy and SLash mentioned above. All 3 are great! Don't forget to check out Them Crooked Vultures, Oysterhead and Chickenfoot. None of these are tryly "new" bands though. patdaddy patdaddy 50 minutes ago 0 1 Your awesome Jamie, Rock On! Jamie Jamie 50 minutes ago 0 1 I listened to Slaid Cleves’” Rust Belt Fields” and it’s not bad…not bad at all. Kinda reminded me of Lyle Lovett. Then I listened to Ryan Bingham’s “The Weary Kind”. Another good song. Both songs had a lot of folk mixed in with the country feel. Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Snake Farm” and #$%$, We're From Texas” are really great. I love outlaw-country. Taylor Swift, though. Well…with her big hooks and ear-friendly production values, she’s like a big bag of sugar-filled cotton candy. The first bite or two might seem good, but after the third bite your stomach starts to hurt…and you don’t want any more for a very long time. patdaddy patdaddy 49 minutes ago 0 1 You're awesome Jamie, Rock On! Andrew Andrew 47 minutes ago 0 0 I agree. And then there's the ones who rock until they become popular. Kings of Leon, I'm looking at you. Jamie Jamie 46 minutes ago 0 1 Yes, Randall. Isn't it odd that decades ago our TV shows were simple while our popular rock music was complex ? And now, our TV shows are complex and our popular rock music is simple. Jamie Jamie 42 minutes ago 0 1 I'm thinking Oysterhead and Them Crooked Vultures were a one-time project between the members (like Mad Season, Temple of the Dog or Blind Faith)...but they are cool albums. I never got into Chickenfoot. It just seemed like Sammy Hagar was yelling "Ooh! Yea! Uh-Huh!" with no real structure or lyrics. teresa teresa 38 minutes ago 0 1 OMG! I hope you listen to more Slaid, especially "Horseshoe Lounge" and "Hard to Believe." Also, you should like RWH songs like "Rabbit." Jamie Jamie 23 minutes ago 0 0 Rabbit is cool. Slaid reminds me of this one singer/songwriter, Colin Gawel. His song, Superior, is on youtube. You'd probably dig it. Randall Flagg Randall Flagg 22 minutes ago 0 1 Well, fans of those one time albums are still holding out for more! I think Them Crooked Vultures have plans for another and when Trey finishes touring with the Dead, he may revisit Oysterhead since he feels he was struggling during that time period. I don't entirely disagree with you Jamie bout CHickenfoot. My opinion is totally biased since I loved Van Halen back in the day. I will take Sammy saying ohhh yeah oh uh huh over the "beat" driven pop that is currently being shoved down our throats on the radio. The fact that I even mentioned them just shows how little there is to choose from today (and they are not even all that recent)... Nevertheless, individually each musician in the band is talented and the vibe is a bit of a throwback. I like some of the bands you mentioned above. They may be a bit too metalish for some rock fans though, although stoner metal and hard rock are really pretty similar. I am a huge fan of The Sword and dig Orange Goblin and Witchcraft too. I find myself going back to Black Sabbath more often than not though when I am looking to scratch that slow heavy base driven metal itch. Jamie Jamie 15 minutes ago 0 0 Yea. Some of the bands I listed may be a bit too "sludgy" for most tastes. Att eh same time, though, bands like The Sword, Mastodon and Witchcraft have lost a lot of that "sludge sound" in their latest albums. I'll tell you this...it's nice to TALK about cool music for a change...even if it's over the internet,
