The egos were so big between the BIG THREE that they rotated every night. That and NOBODY wanted to close after Slayer.JayKeeley said:Exchange Alice in Chains and Anthrax with Suicidal Tendencies and Testament respectively, and this limey will remember Clash of the Titans as it was in Europe.
By that time Suicidal Tendencies was opening for Queensryche over here on the Empire tour. FUCKING FANTASTIC, 7th row at the Summit, before it became the crappy Compac Center which is now owned by Lakewood Church, will remember it for the rest of my life.

There was talk of 'Deth and Slayer doing the same over there, but even Mustaine had to back down and let Slayer close up for the night. Nobody can come on after Slayer. (Unless it's a festival type affair with a Priest, AC/DC, Maiden type headliner).
We got Lynch Mob which wasn't bad, but not as good as ST obviously. Still, the Empire tour has to be one of the greatest tours of all time.

Was that Lynch Mob with Oni Logan or the second album with Robert Mason (fucking vocal GOD!)??JayKeeley said:
And yeah, Priest fucking slayed Slayer a few weeks ago.
It was the debut album tour for Wicked Sensation...I just remember Lynch, his guitar, and two songs in particular that were great live: the title track and of course..."Sweet Sister Mercy".Papa Josh said:

Cool. I liked Wicked Sensation better as an album, but the vocals on the the second album, with backups from Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) just blow me away. "When Darkness Calls," "Cold Is The Heart" two of the best songs Lynch has ever had a hand in writing.JayKeeley said:

I've often said the same thing, and listed the same bands. Say what you want about a band like Duran Duran, but you don't write 20 hit songs without having an idea of how to craft a song. Another band I like the throw into that mix is The Hooters. I loved "Nervous Night" when it came out.JayKeeley said:
To be fair, music isn't any different than all other forms of entertainment? Movies are all about explosions and romance, and even the slightest of box office sucesses deserves two or three sequels. It's like Hollywood is completely out of ideas. They're constantly looking for old comic books or TV shows that they can adapt to the big screen, rather than create something original. TV is horrible. There are maybe half a dozen TV shows that are watchable. What person with a brain cares to watch Donald Trump say "You're fired" every friggin week?
The reason for all of this is simple; Y2K Americans are stupid. Don't think so? Go pick up a newspaper from the 20, 30, or 40s. The vocabulary is at a much, much higher level than what is used in today's newspaper. Let's face it, TV news divisions had to become entertainment just to get peope to tune in. The crap they talk about on the local news couldn't be less relevant. Hey, I'm just as sorry as the next guy that some six year old fell down an elevator shaft. But how is that news? And what sort of sick fuck wants to see some asshole news reporter stick a mic in the face of the parents whose six year old just fell down the shaft, so that they can be asked, "How do you feel"? How the fuck do you think think they feel?
Want to know why we have a choice between two worthless fucks to vote for in November? Go to a mall, and just look around.
Ehhh fuck it... who wants pie?

An excellent quote from Alex Lifeson on the current state of pop music:
'It's a celebration of mediocrity and that's what kills me. Millions of people watch these woeful amateurs that have no talent and you laugh at them. I mean what a cynical culture this has become. There are great acts, bands and musicians - but you really have to look hard for them.'

Nickleback sums up the state of American rock for me. I think structurally they have written the same song over and over again.

Speaking of good pop today...
I just got the new album "High" by The Blue Nile. I had no idea they were even still in existence. This Scottish trio creates some of the most melancholic soundscapes. Very lush stuff with a fantastic vocalist.
