Classic Rock Songs that just fuckin' suck

[Valeyard]

Soft spot for "Love Stinks" but I get it.

Their earlier stuff is better but that might be my NEW ENGLAND MAN bias.

Peter Wolf and David Lynch being roommates in Boston and Lynch moving out because Peter Wolf was too odd is one of my favorite classic rock anecdotes.

Idk why DLR is so embarrassed by the last Van Halen album considering all of the solo material he has released in the past 30 years.

At the time that album was released, Sammy Hagar gave an interview and claimed that most of the songs on A Different Kind of Truth were basically rejects from the Sammy Hagar era that had been laying around Eddie Van Halen’s home studio for years. Sammy was basically implying that Roth had little to do with writing those songs aside from tinkering with the lyrics a bit. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe he doesn’t feel that they are really his songs.

 

[The Thread Killer]

I've come to the conclusion that I don't care for J. Geils Band.

Fun Thread Killer Trivia Facts:

1) The very first time The Thread Killer ever went record shopping when he was a wee lad of 11 years old in the year 1981, he brought three items:

- The LP “Back in Black” by AC/DC
- The LP “Escape” by Journey
- The 45 Single “Centerfold” by The J. Geils Band

2) When she found it, The Thread Killer’s Mother broke the Centerfold 45 single into pieces and threw it in the trash because it was about pornography and naked ladies. The Thread Killer didn’t actually care, because after listening to that single a bunch of times, he had gotten really sick of it already.

(In retrospect, The Thread Killer is unsure of how a song about pornography equates to actual pornography, but this was the early 80s, the age of the moral majority, and at 11 years old The Thread Killer was in no position to make that argument. Maybe he will call Mama Thread Killer tomorrow and make the argument now, and demand financial compensation, including interest.)

42 years later, he unapologetically still loves Back in Black and “Don’t Stop Believin” and fuck you if you don’t.

3) Absolutely none of you were alive when any of this happened.

The bones of a lot of the songs were written when DLR was in the band in the ‘70s. Some even before the first album came out.


If nothing else, I think that album was kind of a tipping point and I feel like a lot of VH’s contemporaries (KISS, Motley Crue )don’t even both releasing new albums now. AC/DC did release a new album in 2020. I think they have more of an old blues men mentality than rockstar mentality and will just intermittently tour and release stuff until Angus is not able to don the school boy uniform anymore.

Brit Floyd PULSE | PortTIX

I’d make fun of The Division Bell 30th anniversary but if a Stones tribute band did a Voodoo Lounge 30th anniversary show, I’d totally go.


I just hope Brit Floyd has a Jacksonville stop for this tour for @Incandenza ’s sake.

Daryl Hall Suing John Oates in Mysterious Lawsuit

Hall and Oates, one of the most successful and iconic duos in musical history, are not just on the outs ... they're in litigation.

It’s so easy to hurt others when you can’t feel pain.

Five rock stars, three songs and only one concert: The story of Damnocracy – the most bizarre and disappointing supergroup of all time

Putting members of Skid Row, Anthrax and Biohazard in the same room was a weird idea. When the resulting supergroup only released three demos then broke up, it also proved to be a waste of time.

Take it back, @Fall of Epic !

 

[Valeyard]

The episode where they fight over naming the band is one of the greatest things ever. I can't think of Sebastian Bach without his storming off because they wanted to name the band Godwar (which is Rawdog backwards!) instead of SAVAGE ANIMAL.

 

[Fall of Epic]

This was probably one of the only reality shoes I ever watched, if not THE only. The episode where they play their first live show was pretty cool and at the time I looked forward to them recording and touring but it never came into fruition.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I just thought it was great to see Evan Seinfeld in the same room as Bach, Nugent, Ian, and Bonham. It made total sense for Ian to be involved, since this was the height of when he whored himself out to any project that needed a few tasty riffs, but seeing Bach honestly act like he could rough Seinfeld up was hilarious.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Weirdly, I think Bas ended up being the outlier despite Seinfeld being most extreme musician and Nugent being the most extreme human being. Ian and Bonham seem professional enough (IE willing to sell out) to be up for whatever. Bach just sounded like he was trying (and failing) too hard at sounding like Robert Plant.


You get Ripper Owens in there and you probably get at least one mediocre studio album and tour out of DAMNocracy.

 

[Valeyard]

I'm going to need to relisten to decide if Damnocracy was a better reality show band than motherfucking Flickerstick though.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It is 50% less embarrassing than Aamer Haleem trying and failing to get Morissey’s attention.

 

[Valeyard]

Jason Bonham sucked, too, and made me less interested in the show. At least everyone else is varying degrees of weird in a rock sense

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Hard to think of many interesting famous drummers that would have done that show. I think the amount of corny, offensive boomer humor if you have Carmine Appice or Peter Criss in the house with the Nuge would have broken us all.

 

[Valeyard]

Alex Van Halen would've done it.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

If he won’t do a tribute to his dead brother, he is not going to put up with Evan Seinfeld constantly asking him if his wife is interested in being a part of the porn industry.

 

[Valeyard]

His brother wasn't dead then and I don't think Seinfeld and Tera Patrick are still married

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah but he is still in the porn industry (and he was married to Tera Patrick when DAMNocracy was around)

Original AC/DC frontman Dave Evans claims he was the band's "best" singer

Dave Evans, the original lead singer for AC/DC has claimed that he was the legendary rock band's "best" singer.

This is silly/dumb but should you expect him to say anyone other than himself?

 

[Fall of Epic]

I'm hearing that new Bon Jovi docuseries on Hulu is pretty good and they even address Jon's vocal problems these past few years. I'll watch it eventually but maybe not right now.

He's in 4th place, not bad!

I have never seen anyone defend Generation Swine except for Chuck Klosterman (and even then it was for unintentional comedy) and I have seen a lot of people defend classic rock albums that fuckin’ suck.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Jesus. This is from their new album. Why the Generation Swine callback?

 

[Fall of Epic]

Self titled, Generation Swine and New Tattoo are all pretty bad. I tried to come around in the S/T in recent years as fanfare around it seem to be turning positive but couldn't get into it.
