'hard rock' was the generic term mate; they were one of the bigger bands on the scene right around the grunge revolution. the baby animals were also big crowd pullers... i was in a hard rock band in canberra at the time, we got supports for all the bigger bands coming through town. god those were fun nights. then the arse dropped out of it overnight when everyone went flannel, docs, and a cheap out of tune guitar singing about how life sucked.
So Nuno Tenniscourt was straight?
Holy shit!!!
Are you ready to rock, children of the early evening?
suzi's a hell of a cover story if he aint!!So Nuno Tenniscourt was straight?
Holy shit!!!
You pretty much just recited my life at the time back to me. Atleast your still playing these days.'hard rock' was the generic term mate; they were one of the bigger bands on the scene right around the grunge revolution. the baby animals were also big crowd pullers... i was in a hard rock band in canberra at the time, we got supports for all the bigger bands coming through town. god those were fun nights. then the arse dropped out of it overnight when everyone went flannel, docs, and a cheap out of tune guitar singing about how life sucked.
Extreme will be in Australia throughout April. Love'em or hate'em, do not miss'em Ash. Nuno is still insane live.
Yeah I saw them a few years ago.
If you can somehow ignore Cherone's spasmodic onstage behaviour it's well worth going for Nuno Bettingshop.
Nuno rips.
doesn't quite have the same impact, does it?
a mate of mine was a huge fan, and went to GB in the early '90's. tracked down coverdale's mum and they met for a nice cup of tea and a chat... true story!
Check out the dude on backing vocals. Just waving his arms, he looks cooler than anyone else on the stage.
Bon Scott ruled! He could have wiped the floor with any hair-metal poofter front men, then would have had the class to buy the poor sods a few drinks afterward.

Michael Monroe was terrific. ANYBODY that had the nerve to cover a Nazareth tune ("Not Fakin' It") let alone title an album after one rates pretty high to me.
And this just happens to be one of my all-time favorite tunes...
Killer stuff...
Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
I will say this. I'll take any shitty hair pseudo pussy metal band over Van Morrison any day.
Even though I LOATHE "Hair Metal"......JAKE KICKS ASS
Is that "Dizzy" Dean Davidson?
I played the hell out of this album.....Good stuff.
How about a little Jetboy, featuring Sam Yaffa from Hanoi Rocks?
Brian Johnson isn't .
wow U68 that brings back memories. Back in the days of WHT
While seeing Bon singing backup vocals in a bubblegum band may look a little odd, it was his next band, Fraternity that was downright fucking strange.....

Incorrect. They were singing to 14 year old boys. Not sure if that makes what you said all that much better though lmao!
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
More of Bon's old band Fraternity here. Christian rock from the man who later wrote "Highway to Hell"??
Jake has a new solo disc in the can, it will be out soon.

Not had, HAS.
Man that's harsh , first off he is a fellow Geordie
Second he ain't no Hagar , he hasn't put a foot wrong since joining the band .
Acdc are still killer .
The only thing Johnson isn't Is he isn't Bon Scott ... Fuck no body is .
But back in black ain't 5150 .
You can love Bon and still see Johnson does a great job ... It's not like van where it's one or the other .
IMHO
fuck your fucking framing

Some of the visual aspects of the hair metal genre WERE pretty fucking ridiculous.
All that poofy spandex, makeup and Aqua-Netted hair.
I've just never had much use for Poison. Never did when they first came out and I saw them open for Ratt: my reaction was that this was some jerk-off novelty band who could barely write and barely play, and I still have that reaction today. The fact that their lead singer still has a degree of popularity and marketability vividly illustrates that America not only doesn't have talent but has little to no collective sense of how to differenciate between good music and shit. Bon Jovi falls into that category as well...and Winger...and Warrant. It was even more disheartening in the case of a band like Winger where you had a great lead guitar player wasting his abilities churning out this pop 40 sludge, which was a similar feature with Van Halen after Roth left the band.
But then so many of those bands played music designed to woo jailbait teen girls, so it was mission accomplished far as meeting their objectives. Little of it has aged well, but then was any of it supposed to?
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Winger was certainly pretty lame and pussyfied for most of their output, but in this one case they did something right.
No homo or anything, but you gotta admit, Kip Winger is a pretty damn good looking guy. It's no wonder my mother had a MONSTROUS crush on him in the 80s. She dosen't want to admit it, but according to her girlfriends and my dad, she fucking LOVED Kip Winger, even after she and Dad got married.
I even nicknamed him "The Hugh Jackman of Rock n' Roll"
How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-R
So were at least two of the members of Queen & the rest of Judas Priest.So Nuno Tenniscourt was straight?
Holy shit!!!
Shocking!
Cheers! :bottle:
What the fuck is people's problem with Brian Johnson?
Who would you rather they had chosen to replace Bon?
Would you prefer that they had ended the band & fuck up their lives just for your own petty, selfish pleasure?
Maybe that way everything would be better with the world & you'd be happy.
Jaysus, the stupidity if some people.
Cheers! :bottle:
Brian Johnson is alright. Certainly a better replacement singer than Sammy Hagar, for example. And no question that Back in Black was one Hell of an album.
But the weakness of Johnson is that all the albums that followed it were basically retreads of Back in Black. Not that Ac/Dc is the only band who makes the same album over and over - the Ramones did it for 20 years, and they did it very well. But the damned thing is that the 6 albums Ac/Dc recorded with Bon Scott showed a degree of musical evolution. You definitely can hear a difference between what they recorded in 1974 on "High Voltage" and what they did in 1979 on "Highway to Hell".
So it would seem that when they lost Bon, they also lost the ability to expand beyond the formula any further. And that's a sad thing.
