I just knew Snoke wasn't dead! I just knew it!
This could be the film fans always wished Lucas would make.That footage is definitely better than anything we saw from Last Jedi!

I don't care for the 80's rebirth Aerosmith--it's too commercial and radio friendly. I know Eliminator has huge radio hits, but it doesn't suffer from over-production and horns. Lol.

Episode VIII was the most disappointing movie I've EVER seen. I actually hate Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy now. The damage has been done but still....'Help us JJ Abrams. You're our only hope'.

I freaking love the first three Ratt and Motley Crue albums, the first Cinderella album and most of what the original Dokken did. That was metal even if they looked like ravishing chicks. Lol.10. Warrant - Down Boys
9. Kix - Don't Close Your Eyes
8. Faster Pussycat - House of Pain
7. Poison - Talk Dirty to Me
6. Cinderella - Nobody's Fool
5. Britny Fox - Girlschool
4. Europe - Carrie
3. Dokken - Dream Warriors
2. Ratt - You're in Love
1. White Lion - When the Children Cry
No Cherry Pie?
No way, Uncle Tom's Cabin all day, man!
Down Boys, Talk Dirty To Me, Nobody's Fool and Dream Warriors are all good tunes though.
Not gonna lie...Dokken are the ultimate "guilty pleasure" band for me! Not even ashamed!

I don't know about sounding like 'Hendrix', but I'll give you it's definitely more blues based then their following albums. Still--it's the first metal album. Master Of Reality is definitely all-out bone-crunching-riff metal though.Fluff is metal. Orchid is metal. Changes is metal.
Nope, nope and nope. First full-on heavy metal album(where every track is metal) is Stained Class and it was released in 1978.
Nope. Black Sabbath. Released on February 13, 1970 in the U.K.
Half of the tracks on self-titled are the stuff not much different than Jimi Hendrix Experience. It's far from a metal-defining album. Paranoid is a different story, it was much more metal. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the least metal out of the first 6 BS albums.

Power Windows is WAY better than HYF. I copped wood from the CA setlist; not only did they play most of CA, their best albums in decades, but rotated 5 songs from PoW in the setlist. The closing show on the tour was in KC and it was the best I've ever seen them--they were on fire and I had goose bumps that night.

I just noticed I responded to this a year and half ago...with almost the same ranking. Lol.
1. Neil Peart
2. Alex Van Halen
3. Dave Lombardo
4. Bran Dailor
5. Mitch Mitchell

I caught this sci-fi masterpiece on Amazon Prime the other night. It is one of the best movies I've seen in years. I haven't touched psychedelics in over 20 years, but seriously had some mild flashbacks watching this. Interdimensional trippyness! The Star Wars connection with Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, and the Dr. Ventress character was not lost on me either, lol. Check this movie out if you like either: A. Good Sci-Fi, B. Existentialism, C. Horror, D. Psychedelics, or E. All Of The Above.

I disagree that GUP and PoW are sterile, but you are dead-on with those three songs bringing HYF down--I would even say they soiled the whole HYF album experience for me as those are arguably their 3 worst songs. Geddy was right, they went too far with the shynth pop on this album. If there were 3 other songs more in line with the rest of HYF or PoW instead of Shit Nature, Tai Shit and Shit Water, HYF would be one of their better albums, but holy crap those songs suck.Except for Second Nature Tai Shan and High Water, HYF would be a perfect album for that era of the band. Its so much warmer sounding than the cold sterile GUP & PoW before it

The first four Metallica albums are better than anything Megadeth has released. I like 90's Megadeth more than what Metallica was doing in that decade though. After that they're both hit and miss. Metallica > Megadeth but both are legend.
-
Tough, but I voted Motley. If Ghost's last effort was anywhere as good as Meloria, I would have voted for Team Tobias instead.

I can't tell one from the other musically. I'm voting Slipknot because they are better looking. :fury:

All great albums, but some just a little better than others...
1. Brave New World
2. The Final Frontier
3. The Book Of Souls
4. Dance Of Death (Maiden's most under-rated IMO, besides maybe NPFTD)
5. A Matter Of Life And Death

Both camps were at their very peaks on these tours. VH was pretty much always a well-oiled machine with Hagar live until Eddie went off the rails with meth in the mid-90's, but even DLR stepped up big early in his solo career because he had something to prove. He also had one of the best bands ever assembled and he was still physically and vocally capable of doing all his crazy shit live. He still talked too much on the EEAS Tour from what I remember, but seeing him do 'On Fire' and doing all the 720 deg jump spins between verses was f***ing nuts.
In Spokane, Hagar destroyed DLR, who couldn't even fill the arena. I had been a Hagar-hater, but he won me over that year.
5150 was the first concert I went to--early Summer of '86 when I was 13. Later that summer I saw Ozzy and then David Lee Roth. 1986 was rite of passage for me!Unlike some, I'm a big fan of the Hagar stuff. But my vote goes to the debut. How many bands had a debut this strong? They hit you with everything right out of the gate. When I look at the track listing, I always think to myself "this is a debut? Most bands need to get to their third, fourth or fifth release before they're this good".
Still mind blowing 40 years later.
Yup! Can't stand the Van Hagar stuff. Love the guitar work of course.
I will say when I was back in high school I played 5150 a hundred times over the summer. Loved it. Even saw the tour. BTO opened! Cow Palace.
Brilliant memories my friend!! CHEERS TO ROCK AND ROLL!
I saw the "Eat Em And Smile" Tour and "Skyscraper" Tour. Both of those tours blew VAN HAGAR AWAY! JMO!!!!

I dig The Elder. This just isn't the kind of album a band like KISS would be permitted by fans and critics to release without a lot of push back. Especially after releasing 2 pop albums previously, everyone was waiting for a return to form. I think if The Elder was released later in their career it would have been better received. It's a good album in hindsight and The Oath might make it into my Top Ten KISS Songs. I even like The Elder more than Creatures Of The Night--COTN is over-rated; at least half of the songs are very stale and unmemorable, IMO.

It's awesome Rick & Morty is signed on for 70 new episodes, but I can't believe they will keep up the quality with that kind of demand from Cartoon Network. They will have to get even more outside writers and undoubtedly there will be some subpar episodes, even whole seasons. I didn't catch on to the show until halfway through Season 3 so the wait hasn't been as big of a deal for me. Kind of like the Game Of Thrones novels--I didn't start reading them until four years ago (and I refuse to watch the show until maybe the novels are complete). I couldn't imagine being one of the fans who started reading the series 22 years ago--Hell, I've already given up on the idea Martin will finish the 7th novel. I digress! Rick and Morty is even better than the first two seasons of Venture Bros! Probably better than Family Guy! Up The Mortys!

It's not one of my favorites, and it doesn't hold a candle to SSOASS, but No Prayer is Maiden's most under-rated album. It's definitely better than Fear Of The Dark. The songs are just plain better overall and it sounds fresher. It's a shame they have completely forsaken playing Tailgunner, Public Enema, or anything from that album live. The Legacy Of The Beast Tour would have been the perfect time to dust off a song from that album and stop playing FOTD for at least one freaking tour!In Bruce's bio he said they lacked criticism after Seventh Son. It seemed that their formula couldn't fail, and they could have used some advice for No Prayer.
I'm possibly the only person who likes No Prayer better than Seventh. :)
Seventh is very good, I like every Maiden album except the Blaze ones (which I have to revisit. I have to listen around Blaze. It's not Bruce-centrism, I like Paul's work. Just don't think Blaze fit well. The Clansman is excellent, though). No Prayer is really uneven and I don't like every song, so arguably it's worse than Seventh even for me. But it's high points are better than Seventh's as well.
