    KISS

    Not only is this funny, but you know it’s absolutely true too lol

    KISS

    This is just incorrect. Bruce Kulick, Mark St John, Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr are all EXCEPTIONAL musicians.

    which one song would you definitely like to have back in the next setlist?

    Deja Vu definitely won’t be played live, but I have dreamed about seeing that solo live…

    Saxon

    Yes, a lot of newer fans start with the classic trilogy too. It’s quite a good trilogy, Wheels of Steel I believe was the best they sounded during that time. Strong Arm and Denim and Leather play like one album to me, they sound very similar. It’s almost shocking how well the “glam” stuff Saxon...

    Saxon

    I never thought about a connection to Turbo. Def Leppard were really innovators. They could’ve stuck to a more true British metal sound similar to what Priest and Saxon were doing at the time, but they went straight for the jugular of the American market. They knew what the world wanted to hear...

    Awesome! I was really hoping to hear I’m a Rebel live

    Saxon

    I relistened to every Saxon album this summer. I was quite surprised by most of their work actually. It's weird, they have particular moments from the mid to late 2000s where they get close to peaking, but they could never pull it together to put out one GREAT album during this span. I think...

    New posters! Who are you?

    Welcome! Great to have you and I hope you enjoy talking about metal music here (really you can enjoy talking about anything here). There's a wealth of knowledge on a lot of subjects here. I've gotten some great recommendations for metal and hard rock music to listen to here. I like browsing...

    Accept

    I should listen to it before saying it sucks, but this sucks. I don't know how his live performances have been in the past couple years, but I saw him in 2017. Ok, sorry for the breakup in this sentence but this song really does suck as I am discovering in real time. Anyways, saw him in 2017...

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    Very good question, the Senjutsu hype has died down a bit, but there was a very fervent and mindless obsession with that album when it first dropped. I got the feeling a lot of Maiden fans were just starved for new material and were ready to call anything a masterpiece. My pick for most...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Forgot to mention, Sweet Child O Mine is one of only two songs I skip on Appetite. The other is Mr. Brownstone. I really don’t like those songs. Appetite For Destruction is my truck CD. My trucks CD player will sometimes get stuck when taking discs in and out. It’s an easy fix - just take the...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Yeah, I’m not that big of a Nuge guy and I never really got the hype either. Somebody I knew once insisted I had to listen to Weekend Warriors. Suppose to be his best album - I heard middle of the road hard rock. Venom Soup off that album is about as good as he got (and coincidentally his...

    Rant Thread

    I was looking for the general musings thread, but I believe this rant thread will do. I believe I could've been anyone in the world if I wasn't me. No, actually, maybe what I am feeling right now isn't that serious. Corporate burnout. I've seen it argued that corporate burnout might be...

    Replacing Nicko?

    I really hope it’s not the guy from The Raven Age.

    That’s a valid point too. Maybe there’s an optimist in me that hopes that those people will be able to be incorporated somewhere along the automation process. As @____no5 mentioned above, industries find themselves to be competitive by nature, and sometimes it takes a lot of initiative on the...

    And I think people that are worried about AI taking jobs are slightly overreacting. Jobs are being transformed, not taken away. Where as before, you maybe had a line of presses that needed parts to be loaded in one by one by hand, you can now take that Material Handler position and transform it...

    There are very interesting ways to leverage AI in particular industries. I know people in my field that leveraged it to diagnose and partially rewrite code to complex PLC systems. I have occasionally picked its (ChatGPT) brain on CNC and G code programming, and it is good for compiling quick...
