Re: What’s EveryOne Listening To in Other Bands & Artists

Yep that’s my feeling too I only have the best of… Couple of good tracks from the Roth era but apart from Eddie being quite a guitar wiz I never saw the appeal.

Re: What’s EveryOne Listening To in Other Bands & Artists

It’s actually really good… No synths, just a straight forward solid rock album. Tongue in cheek lyrics, lots of solos not breaking new ground but quite a upbeat fun album like the old 70/80s rock albums. The single is the worst thing on it personally.

I was surprised. I’m really not a fan of theirs.

I think I’m getting old and my musical tastes have gone weird… I decided to play Load and actually didn’t mind all the songs, then at work I was given the new Van Halen album and I actually enjoyed it… That never happens with them??

Think I need a lay down.

Sounds interesting I will have to check them out… can’t boast that there are too many bands over here that I have got into so far.
