DEF LEPPARD's RICK ALLEN Hopes PHIL LYNOTT Was Joking When He Said He Broke Up THIN LIZZY Because Of 'Pyromania'

In a new interview with Joe Rock of the WBAB 102.3 radio station, DEF LEPPARD drummer Rick Allen was asked if there is any truth to the rumor that late THIN LIZZY leader Phil Lynott told DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott that he broke up THIN LIZZY because he "couldn't compete" with LEPPARD's third...

That is depressing if it is true.

Even if true that’s such a terrible thing to say.

Janet Jackson's nephew TJ slams her 'overly sexualized' live shows

TJ Jackson made the remarks while responding to a video of Janet dancing against and imitating oral sex on a fan strapped to a table at a show.

How the eff is Janet still the scapegoat for the Jacksons in 2023?

 

[Valeyard]

Her tit ruined so much.

TIL Creem Magazine returned last year.

I mean if Rolling Stone has been a joke for 25+ years, I don't see how a rock magazine that's been defunct since the '80s is going to do much better but what do I know?

 

[Valeyard]

I wanted to buy the rights to Creem when I was younger and reboot the music industry.

The most credible thing about the corpse of Rolling Stone is the music.

Jerry Samuels, Creator of a Novelty Hit, Is Dead at 84

Under the name Napoleon XIV, he recorded “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!” and, to almost everyone’s surprise, it stormed the charts in 1966.

They’re coming to take him away ha ha. They’re coming to take him away! They’re taking him away to the funeral home so may he rest in peace.

This Afroman shit has got to be the most Streisand Effect thing to happen in recent memory, right? I mean, the video below allegedly had less than a million views before the story broke:

[Valeyard]

The writer of this song, a legit #1 hit mind you, holds a position in my company.

I am not sure how but I want to talk to this person and tell them that, due to my upbringing on 90s country radio, this song has given me a tumor.

The MTV Series Dee Snider Blames for Helping Metal's '90s Demise

He explains his 'incredible aversion' to this long-running series.

loudwire.com

Another weird/bad take for Mister Sister. I’m looking at an episode guide for Unplugged and there were eight bands that I could classify as hair metal on the show plus a few hair metal adjacent acts like Aerosmith and Joe Satriani.

I’d get Dee’s complaint if he was in a thrash/death/extreme metals but most hard rock and metal acts SHOULD be able to play acoustic. GD. Dee Snider/Twisted Sister did at least two dumb dramatic rearrangements of “We’re Not Going to Take It”! Is doing your song acoustically any lamer than a Christmas themed version of your song!?

 

[Valeyard]

That's just weird. I always hate it when acts think like that, from any genre or era, because it also speaks to their lack of ability to translate to a different audience. That said when the Bon Jovis of the world talked about how they were intending on going in a more grunge direction after "Smells Like Teen Spirit," came out, it's just as bad.

Dee's legacy, for me, is the PMRC hearing and telling Howard Stern how to dress. Twisted Sister weren't very good.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Dee seems like a cool guy and overall, I like him but I get the sense that he is pissed that he is seen by most people as frontman for a two hit wonder and not one of the GOAT rock stars.

 

[Valeyard]

He's probaby fine. That's just a very crusty take.

The "We're Not Gonna Take It" video is still great because Niedermeier.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He's probaby fine. That's just a very crusty take.

He has trash talked Paul Stanley too many times for my liking, brother.

Speaking of which, KISS…contemporary of Twisted Sister…had a GREAT episode of MTV Unplugged! Mr. Sister doesn’t have a (spandex covered) leg to stand on IMO with this take.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Twisted Sister weren't very good.

Stay Hungry is a great record.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

NYC Bias!

 

[Valeyard]

Shit's real, though. I gotta pretend I'm a Tesla and !!! fan to this day.

And Deftones!

Jim Florentine makes me cringe but it is good seeing he's still going. He is a deep thinker.

Former Misfits singer testifies for Proud Boys defense in seditious conspiracy trial

Michael Emmanuel, who performs under the name Michale Graves, was called as a defense witness by the attorney for Proud Boy Ethan Nordean.

www.wusa9.com

Idk this but uh, not a shocker. I found this month old article from a Reddit thread about how Michaele Graves is doing a solo acoustic show at an ice cream parlor a half hour away from me. I, uh...Laz, you have anything?

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I do! Graves is a cunt. He's fucked over every artist that he's worked with and serving in the USMC turned him into a 3%er douchefuck.

That being said? His post-Misfits work is better than Danzig's post-Misfits run, and I'll die on that hill. The one Gotham Road album is better than most of Danzig's solo work by a country mile.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I’m more befuddled at the concept of a solo acoustic Michale Graves show than I am of him being a Proud Boy.

I guess it’s no weirder than Danzig’s Elvis Presley fixation.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood reuniting for first performance in 36 years

Relax -- the Liverpudlian hitmakers will play at the 2023 Eurovision opening weekend in May.

On the other hand, Frankie Goes to Hollywood randomly reuniting is awesome.

@Springtime for Epic : HELL YEAH, BROTHER!

 

[Fall of Epic]

Him being a Tesla owner was the most surprising thing in that rant.

 

[Valeyard]

I can 100% see him as a Tesla guy. It's a money thing, that and I totally see him being one of those rebels who makes a smug defiant metal face while playing "We're Not Gonna Take It" as he cruises through LA in it.

I really liked that rant, though.
