@boobaciss I can hang with Sammy's solo work (and Montrose, too, of course), but do not, and will never, own any van hagar records. I turn the channel on the radio whenever a van hagar song comes on. Welcome back, Diamond Dave! We'll be rockin' at the Oracle Arena on 6/3/12, but I gotta say that ...

@dickravis Phil and this nut job had had some run-ins before this happened. Kagan was well known around the Panhandle as his apartment was in a corner building across the street. He and Phil were arguing about Phil's dog, Reno, chasing the pigeons at around 3:30 AM. After the argument, the guy wa...

Wow, very cool: my old buddy from Buffalo days, Billy Sheehan, is playing bass. Steve and he were together in David Lee Roth's band for his first two solo albums. Billy is without a doubt the best rock bassist ever. Let the debating begin...

@feickerr My older brother took years to learn it, but he can play "Eruption" note-for-note perfectly, and with a very similar sound, too, which for him was harder to acheive than actually learning all the right notes. He's a pro living in the Sacramento area.

A guitar solo worthy of Nigel Tufnel! ...um, except for using a tamborine instead of a violin, of course...

@DNLSMusic Christine Perfect (from the band Chickenshack, and before she married John McVie) was contributing to FM albums starting around their third or fourth, and joined as a full member (with Bob Welch) for their 5th album. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined for FM's 10th (yes, 10th) ...

@neverfrisco Later that evening during the concert portion of the filming, some knucklehead in the audience broke a glass on stage, and at some point Mike Patton is down on the stage and ends up cutting the crap out of his hand. Nice guy, though- he only sued the club afterwards. When he came off...

@sepulthrax Yes, and "Diamonds And Rust" is a Joan Baez song. Go figure...

@98pup100 The sox packers, um, I meant sex pistols, were (thankfully) a one-and-done buncha posers with zero talent or substance. And that one shitty little record they made can't compare to anything by the Damned. And do keep in mind which UK punk band had ALL the firsts (single release, album r...

One of the all-time great live bands. Did lights for them twice at the I-Beam in SF ('89 & '91), and have seen them live about 20 times. Next up: Oct. 29 at Slim's, SF. And yes, kids, this is the real deal; punk rock at it's best.

@grizgreen978 Clearly you weren't there, so no wonder you don't get it. Check the documentary film "All Dolled Up," by Bob Gruen & Nadya Beck, for some much needed perspective. When the Dolls broke on the music scene in '72 they changed rock music forever; it just took a while for the rest of the...

We always killed with this song; a big crowd favorite. I'm glad Mark eventually laid it down in the studio. I suggested we record it for "Let's Stay Up And Party..." but Mark rejected the idea, I think because this song was not written by him. I wanna say The Plastics wrote it, but not sure anymo...

Imagine how much these guitars would be worth today. If you're a player, you'd love to get your hands on some of these, because in many instances these instruments are better than what's being made today.

@jagobyatt Roman Jugg was not on either The Black Album or the Friday The 13th EP. His first recordings for The Damned are for the Strawberries album. Prior to that it was mostly the Captain, and a bit of Rat, playing keyboards.

@THEkkwhitmore The "GREATEST" compilation (CD/DVD combo) has most, if not all, of their videos up to "Electric Barbarella," so you're not missing too much after that. Lots of cool hidden stuff, as well (AKA Easter eggs).

@MrDrum1969 Um, that would be "Hidden princess in the attic

Realize this picture that is more than she will hope for..."

Take a look at what nonsense passes for "dancing" these days. I'm mostly referring to hip-hop/rap/R&B performers, but you can include almost anyone that utilizes dance routines in their live performances and videos. After watching these guys perform, there's just no comparison. Today's performers...

Why are so many people comparing this song to "The Chauffer"? They sound nothing alike. And when the CD is out, I won't be listening to it with the idea of trying to associate the new songs to their past work, particularly the first two or three albums.

For this song to be released as a single wo...

I had no idea that Borat had been making documentaries since the 60's. I guess Kazakhs age really well!

@SixtiesPopGold - Lindsay used to prepare different mixes of the songs they were to perform on TV shows (other than their own). For the Smothers Brothers show he prepared a mix with and without lead vocals, and both versions also had a different mix of the backing vocals to make that sound differ...
