Staind lead singer has pissed off the leftists with this song calling out their anti-American/ patriotic actions.

Say what you will about the David Lee Roth vs. Sammy Hagar controversy...Sammy is a great singer but Roth's performance on this song alone blows away anything Hagar ever did with the band, IMO.

Red Rocket all the way. I really like his vocals, even followed and enjoyed his solo stuff before and after VH. DLR was a bit too flamboyant and goofy for my taste.Quote:

That's "Red Rocker", dude. I saw them at the US Festival in '83...what a drunken mess that was!...then again with Sammy in '94 here in Denver. Sammy can play that guitar, man. They had a song where he and Eddie exchanged solos and I was very impressed...I was only 4 rows back from the front. I own every VH album of the Roth era, but none of the Sammy era. I bought 5150 when it first came out and liked some of the songs on it, but it didn't have "holding power"...kinda like cream cheese, whereas the Roth albums are desert island stuff, IMO. I should post up a couple Montrose vids...as that is when I think Sammy was at his best.
This is an outstanding documentary. Some of you may have noticed that I post music that consists of metal, rock and also a lot of this New Wave stuff as it was called. 1979-1983 was it's heyday and it actually produced a lot of excellent music. It was all the girlfriends I had back in those days that got me into this stuff. Bowie may have kicked off the androgynous thing in the early 70s but this is when it really kicked into high gear...even bled over to the rock genre (hair metal bands)...and IMO the kids of these people are now running the media.
If you like the New Wave music of that era, you MUST watch this video. I was already familiar with most of this, but it's very interesting and I actually learned quite a bit.

I'm a big fan of Bowie and one of my favorite albums of his is from 1979...Lodger. It's excellent, it's weird...really weird. Seeing a clip of this video in the documentary I posted above prompted me to bring the whole song in. Great album, you should check it out, but...it's weird. Perhaps even an acquired taste or needs several listens.

Full volume on this one, gentlemen...

More than 50 years on and nothing has changed...the irony of his critique of the media is especially telling.

Unfortunately...I'm gonna have to dedicate this one to all our friends, allies, translators and those within the Afghan National Army over there in the now abandoned shithole...

Tomorrow Def Leppard's High N' Dry album is 40 years old. The first time I heard the album I was cruising State Street in my Camaro Z-28 with Joel Brinholt and two hot young ladies jumped into the back seat at a stop light and hand me the High N' Dry cassette and said play this, you'll love it. The funny thing is when they got out later after a couple laps of State Street they forgot to take the cassette with them... Score... my first Def Leppard cassette. Awe... the good old days... cruising State was a blast.

IMO...this is the only Def Leppard song you need to own. High and Dry is a great album, but the ones that they produced afterwards and became so popular never really did it for me...all of it sounded too much the same...that Mutt Lange production.
Speaking of which...listen to Back in Black and Pyromania back to back to see what I mean.

OK...never mind. First time I've ever run into this! Watch it on Youtube, I reckon.
Tried to help^^^^^
Got the same thing

Which Geezer penned the lyrics for Paranoid, Butler or Biden?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vonVd6zvT7o
/\/\/\...it's "occupy" my mind. Looks like whoever did they lyrics couldn't figure that out? Anyway...what an interesting take on this song!
I wake up every morning to classical music and the piano theme of "To Kill A Mockingbird" played...I was spellbound by the beauty of it. I found this version and it's quite lovely. Listen to the unaccompanied piano version if you enjoy the melody.

That's why i thought Biden might have wrote it because he often has bad spells.Quote:

Right now I am writing an essay about COVID situation in different countries and listen to Citizen Cope - Let the Drummer Kick. Love this song. It is on repeat.
In honor of Bogley be back online…

Just as relevant today as it was 50 years ago when this song was written.
