McGarvey's,... Aldo's,... I've been going there for years, and as long as they serve up a good steaming plate of music (metal being my big preference), I'll be a patron so long as my slave-drivers allow me the right night out for it!

Rich definitely is. I know that for some time, he's been doing the hard work (with his right-hand evil puppet Jason [old joke running between them] too) in that place. He was pretty much the guy running the whole scene there for quite awhile. He and Jason had been doing the booking, bar-tending, bei...

Ahh, the possibility of a journey into depravity... Who knows, really.

Of course, everything's been said pretty accurately to the fact. But JP touched on something that most haven't checked in either... The average 20-40yr-old around here, unlike 25yrs ago, isn't into rock these days. When I ask most people their preference of music, R&B/Hip-Hop is usually at the t...

I like hearing Lzzy staying in pitch throughout the entire song.

I think she just likes to scream too much and her voice isn't strong enou...

He collaborates with a lot of other top 40 "singers" of this day, but he himself actually has a level of talent that I can't give most of the rest of them. His music isn't exactly what I'm up to listening to most days, but I'll give him his due respect for bringing some talent back to the ...

I say do what you feel comfortable with. Move around, sure, but do what you can, not what you're going to end up hurting yourself or your equipment over. I've seen keyboardists really get into it. There are some that have put their other bandmates to shame. But not everyone has the ability to move c...

While it isn't incredibly likely to have every last song memorized, it's certainly possible to have a really good idea of your library, and if any song at random, by any random band comes up, you're pretty sure it either does exist, or doesn't exist. But, he couldn't at least try to get it? Really? ...

I heard this a bit ago. It's pretty cool-sounding, but then at the same time, it makes me want to hear the old version, or at least go back to the same texture of the old song. Maybe I'm just craving the old guitars, rather than the more industrial sound. Still... It's pretty bad ass nonetheless

After listening to it a bit, I'll give it a "good enough". As long as STP keeps kicking songs out like they used to, I can say that even with the different vocal styles (Chester's voice is a lot more treble, a little younger-sounding), this could be an interesting choice of vocalist... Alt...

I'm definitely not buying the first gen of them, maybe not even the second gen. After that, who knows, but I'm definitely waiting to see their total responses to the PR nightmare that Microsoft designed. I know they're already squashing some of those ideas, but I wanna see what they do with the rest

Yup. You need to use bracket codes for forums, so let me give a quick (extensive) tutorial...

Agreed, Paul. Weiland falls well under the same spectrum as Morrison, and so many others, where even getting him out of bed seems like it would be a chore best left to someone else. It's sad too, because as I already iterated, he has amazing talent, and the musical sections of the band are spot-on. ...

Gotta tell ya, I'm by no means surprised. While I definitely like the way Weiland writes, his addictions have always been front and center of the band. That band is one of the few that appeared around the same time as, and even withstood grunge, and was actually worthy of staying. STP is definitely ...
