go2wrk@95974 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Aug 16 2011, 11:22 PM) QUOTE (go2wrk@95974 @ Aug 16 2011, 11:17 PM) That was good old-fashioned KICK-A*S ROCK & ROLL!! Brings back memories , when ROCK was ROCK.... I don't know what the fu*k the record pusher's are feedin the public now..but it sure ain't rock..... Thank's for posting that, man! Maybe all the kiddies will take notice... and listen and learn...ya think? probably not, unfortunately... Thanks man!!! Glad you see the light!! MENIKETTI RIPS! Oh and Joey Alves on rhythm guitar was underrated too. With the late great Phil Kennemore on bass and fuckking Leonard "Bonzo" Haze on drums how did this band not get the love they deserved? I BELIEVE IN YOU GO2WRK! Right on, man. I believe in Rock and Roll.... and right now old-time Rock, is on the decline..big time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Aug 17 2011, 01:58 AM) You guys are all messed up man yet it makes total sense! It blows my mind that there are almost 400 views on this cliche cool thread yet no one has the class or balls to mention DAVE MENIKETTI. Must be some sort of West Coast Curse bullshit. If you guys ever listen to "I Believe In You" live it will melt your fukking heart and inflate your soul. Meniketti is easily TOP FIVE. I love a lot of you guys on here believe it or not, but I think progressive rock has brainwashed a lot of you. If you don't fall in love with this 1982 Pink Pop Festival clip then I have no faith in this Forum. Brings a tear to my eye to be serious for a second. Everyone always says that Alex Lifeson is so damn underrated, well in my mind Dave Meniketti takes the cake for that lame ass label! JMO! Check this.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHBt38B8_FI I don't think it's a lack of class or balls. Not a fan. I could list 50 or 100 more before getting to Dave.
