Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 there's a double CD called Maiden England from the 88 during the seventh Son tour. Bruce is having so much trouble on it. even though it's a great set list. these rock singers when their young don't really take care of their instrument, Mick Some get lucky and keep their voices, some get smart and learn to take better care before it's too late...and some wind up like Robert Plant or Liam Gallagher, shot seemingly beyond repair within a decade of hitting it big. and geddy lee. who.....screaming in the 70's did him in the long run. Mick I feel like it was pretty different for Ged though. He could still hit most of those notes (maybe not Cygnus X-1) well into the 90s when he wanted to, he just chose not to because he knew it would hurt his voice. 1
Segue Myles Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 I tried some on Spotify...yeah...not loving them vocals
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Today’s the right day to bump this thread so Mick and Segue can continue their eternal cupcake discussion!

I think they're Little Debbie's brand. I don't know how anyone can eat a whole one of those in one sitting. 1

When I was younger Hostess cupcakes used to my breakfast every day. I would probably be dead by now if I continued down that path lol.They aren't as good as they used to be. Twinkies used to be delicious. Then they got real sugary. My favorites were Drakes Cakes.

I would pretty much buy the whole row. How the hell I didn't become diabetic I will never know. 1

I just can't get through one without feeling sick, and I'm not one to go easy on sugar.
bluefox4000 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Zebra Cakes used to be my fav as a wee lad. I can't do them too often anymore my tastes have shifted slightly and it's a little too sweet now. but i'll enjoy them every now and then. Mick 1
Segue Myles Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Segue, have you heard this band before? I've seen them mentioned, they are touring with a band my friend loves (or something like that). Well colour me impressed I enjoyed this, thank you! And I take back all I ever said about Brave New World, in fact it's not only improved to me, it's actually made me listen to the whole reunion era in a new light!

Spiritbox is touring with Limp Bizkit here next month. I don't understand that combo at all. I believe Spiritbox sees it as a big opportunity but I think Bizkit is just trying to piggyback off a band that is up and coming in hope that people might actually want to see them again. Spiritbox's debut comes out in September. All they have so far is an EP and a bunch of singles. Really good stuff though and a very unique band. Courtney Laplante has an interesting voice too.
Segue Myles Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I really can't believe I never loved Lamb Of God like this before. I just always respected them but never truly loved them. 1

More like psychedelic rock of the time, some folk and some heavy rock, plus a healthy dose of jazz.

Segue Myles Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Ok, so I have listened to the entirety of the Styx catalogue a lot lately. Here is my ranking: 17. Kilroy Was Here16. Man Of Miracles15. Edge Of The Century14. Serpent Is Rising13. Brave New World12. Paradise Theatre11. Cyclorama10. Crystal Ball09. Equinox08. Paradise Theater07. Styx06. Styx II05. Cornerstone04. Crash Of The Crown03. The Mission02. The Grand Illusion01. Pieces Of Eight Styx have firmly cemented themselves as one of my favourite bands of all time. Like Rush and Toto, they have been mainstays of the last decade for me, and whilst I have had my downs with them, every time I return to their discography, I discover a new appreciation for something I before didn't like. 1
bluefox4000 Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Segue is damn hard on Kilroy. like Kilroy owns him money. and he wrote Paradise Theater twice, lol. my rankings Worst to best 17. Edge of the Centuray16. A Bigger Bang15. Serpent is Rising14. Styx13. Man of Miracles12. Brave New World11. Cyclorama10. Styx II9. Paradise Theater8. Pieces of Eight. (this would be higher but side one is literal dog shit)7. Kilroy Was Here6. Crystal Ball5. The Crash of the Crown4. the Mission3. Equinox2. Cornerstone1. The Grand Illusion Mick Edited July 26, 2021 by bluefox4000 1
J2112YYZ Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Styx is one of those classic rock bands whose songs I know do absolutely nothing for me. 1
