Rolling Stone 50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time

Do you get beat up when you announce this in public? Not the song reference... the bought a Winger album part.

Sesh!! You can install that negative rep button now!

[Seshmeister]

Then people would just click on it and never post anything...

See?? More proof of over moderation and heavy handed, even jack booted administration!!

Our war isn't over, Sesh. No, far from it. People ask me why I'm at war with you. My answer is the same as it has always been...

[Seshmeister]

The guy from 'A Matter of Honor'?

Not one of the very best Columbo's but it's solid.

My band opened for a latter-day Saigon Kick...and for shit's sake... They lived three blocks away from the venue, yet showed up about two hours late in a beat to all shit camper van, partying and wasted as all hell, then came onstage (small as it was, we are talking postage stamp, folks...) playing Zep/ Sab covers with a drummer using a kit pieced together from two or five kits and a trip to Home Depot for duct tape, wire and hope.

They refused to allow my opening band to fly a banner above our drums. That they were sure of.

(Oh, as they arrived from around the corner, they collectively smelt like a wet, smelly dog who had been bathing himself...in the poo of other animals...)

Former semi rock stars...WOW.

[DONNIEP]

I know the name. Don't think I know one song by Saigon Kick. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Meh it was a decent album. What the fuck do I care who else liked it?

Yeah, making the comment, "How does WASP's classic debut not make the list" = hissy fit. You're being as stupid as that twat Krispy with that shit right now.

Nah man. It was just that you did make the comment "why isn't X on this list"? That's how it starts & I've seen how it ends many times. It's a slippery slope.

And then I went on a rant because it reminded me of every single comment I've read about every single fucking list.

I usually go on rants.

But seriously, who the fuck cares? Someone made a list - either they don't know about something & they didn't put it there or they don't like something & they didn't put it there.

You go ahead & put up a PERFECT list. Spend years researching, study graphs, tendencies, popularity in the past, in the present, possible trending in the future, etc.

The first comment will be "why isn't X on this list?"

Was joking. Kip's got a few hidden gems amongst the drivel.

Well, I imagine the only reason they make the lists is to get people to question the list. Otherwise no one would care to read it.

I opened for SK as well. Had no interaction with them, but always liked them. Like Extreme, there was much more to them than their stinky ballad. Jason Beiler is a great guitarist/songwriter. His latest project, Owl Stretching, is pretty decent.

They're well hidden then. Must have hid them on another album by another musician.

I hung out backstage with Great White once in the mid 80s before they put out Once Bitten. They played a gig at a rec center in my home town. I was there because my bosses band was the opening act. The only band member who acted like a rock star was Jack Russell. They were pretty well known at the time in So Cal but they really gained popularity after they released Once Bitten.

Drivel? Drivel??? You gots to open your ears man, let your inner Winger out!! 17 was an awesome song!

And yes, I know Kristy will read what I just said, shake her head, say Donnie Dammit a few times and then remind me how it's a bad song. But I like it.

[DONNIEP]

If this ain't deserving of first place I don't know what is. You got your hair, you got your geetar slingers, you got your bad ass drummer, then you got Kip being...well...actually I don't know what. Jazzercise instructor? Ballerina? Well those things made the chicks' ginies tingle so whatever.

And I think Kip played even less bass in that video than Wolfie did on the whole 2007 Reunion Tour.
