Bud check the thread, I never said a word about Eddie. I love 1984. I’m Jeff Fucking Spicoli.
I only take issue with the Purple Rain diss.
Ey, it's a great album.
But not flawless.

Baby I'm a Star is a fantastic song. It was back in the 80s and it still remains so in 2025. Purple Rain is one of the albums that has held up the best throughout the decades.
Oh it's a great song. But it DOES sound dated. Both of these things can be true.
And on other tracks on that album, they just don't hold up well at all.
But there's some serious cognitive dissonance in praising the sound of Purple Rain while dissing it in 1984. Absolute bullshit.

“Aged badly” does not compute. It’s an iconic synth sound (Linn LM-1) of the 1980’s. It is synonymous with peak Prince and is instantly identifiable by virtually every musician on the planet. It’s fucking awesome and should be played at ear-splitting volume.Baby I’m a Star = “aged badly”. Lol, holy shit…
You say this, and then you criticize Van Halen's virtuoso Oberheim synth work.
And I stand by my statement. Linn drums sound like shit, and always have.
Roland 808s and Simmons, now that's an entirely different story. Though even the 808 can sound like crap.

“Aged badly”, “Horribly dated” and “drum machine shit” are 3 terms that I’ve never seen in a Purple Rain review before, but I guess you’ll see everything if you live long enough.Really? You're... just now noticing? Even in the more popular tracks, the sound has not aged well.

How in the fuck are you going to include Heavy Metal in this thread?!? It was a masterpiece of animation and music. It ushered in adult animation to the US. Helped make Heavy Metal music popular in the mainstream in the US. Altered animation styles for a decade, influenced a massive amount of culturally iconic film and TV production talent and gave me my first boner.
Does THIS look familiar:
No sir, Heavy Metal is among the top in art produced in US history of film.
It doesn't belong here.
And what do you say about its sequel? Because I'll watch that one, too.

That’s really a rough call. So much influential music up there, and I had them all. Damn those were the days.
How many of those albums up there took those artists from well known and very good, across the line to superstardom?
Not talking career launching, but taking them to the top levels of the industry?
Whomever put that list together at least seems to have put some good thought into the participants.
All the thought they put into it was "1984." It was a great year. 1982 might've been even better.
As for superstardom, I count... Prince, Madonna, Van Halen, Wham!, Kenny Loggins (for the title track to "Footloose").
Maiden was never a superstar (though they ought to have been, and this remains one of their best if not THE best album, and far better than most here), Metallica's orbital launch was the black album, Turner was ALREADY a superstar to the previous generation, Run-DMC didn't launch until 1986's Raising Hell.

I had all of these except Wham on cassette. Only one? VH. But man, purple rain is more iconic and better musically than the synth-infused 1984.
I think you got those backwards.
1984 only had synths on three of its 9 tracks, and all 3 of those were recorded performances of EVH playing.
Purple Rain had preprogrammed synths on ALL its tracks, and a lot of those aged badly. They're well-written songs, but they sound horribly dated with their ancient ass MIDI drum machine shit.
also i wouldn't buy it because my brother already had it and I'd just listen to his copy

Jared Leto Teases ‘Tron: Ares’ Villain Will Be Teen Girl Who Lies For Attention
LOS ANGELES—Revealing new details about the highly anticipated film, actor and producer Jared Leto teased Wednesday that the villain in Tron: Ares would be a teenage girl who lies for attention. “If you thought Clu was scary in the last film, just wait until you meet Kaylee,” said Leto, who shared that the antagonist would stop at nothing to destroy his character’s career with her false allegations, no matter the repercussions they might have for multimillion-dollar projects. “I play Ares, an AI being in a race against time to save his reputation from a malevolent and vindictive teenager. Many of the characters in the film assume that Ares is the evil one, but it’s only because they’ve fallen for Kaylee’s twisted lies. Ares is innocent! Plus, pretty much everyone can agree she looked at least 17 at the time.” Leto added that even though the movie took place in a sci-fi world, he thought its story would be relatable to many powerful men his age.

I love long books when they are engaging. Book 5 was not that and was the longest of them all.
What bothered me is that this is a 3-week e-library loans. I had to shut off my Kindle's WiFi for the past month.
I just finished Part II last night.
Also, I picked it up when I was binging webcomics, so for weeks I wasn't making progress.
But yeah. The due date made me feel rushed.

I really enjoyed the first 3. The 4th dragged on in spots and the 5th was a struggle to get through.
I'm enjoying it, but it's JUST so damn long...

List of thread derails, from best types to the most inane, insipid shit imaginable.
1) Arguing over hottest famous women.
2) Arguing over hottest women on campuses.
3) Personal stories about random subject matter triggered by some mention in a recruiting update.
4) Cheese puns.
5) Campus weather discussions.
6) Academic dick-measuring among schools competing for a player.
7) Reliving terrible shit in Texas football history.
8 ) BBQ snobs finding their way from the food board to discuss brisket smoking nuances and other super dumb shit associated to BBQ snobbery.
you left out "celebrities we've bumped into"

Push boundaries like creating the nation's biggest and best NIL collective, spending more in NIL than everyone else in the nation, while killing the portal and ending with the #1 recruiting class in the nation, LITERALLY LAST YEAR? Other schools are pushing those kinds of boundaries? Oh wait, some 17 year olds made non binding decisions based on absurd potential numbers before fall camp has even started and you for some unknown reason let that ruin your entire mental state...but oh, ah yes, Texas and their vaginal tendencies.
How the fuck have you not been crowdsourced yet you thin skinned puta, take your pants pissing over to Orangebloods

As long as we're very faithfully sticking to the topic of recruiting the 2026 class, I just wanted to say that you're a madman, sir, and I absolutely cannot respect your opinion on this (though I'm sure you have many fine, perfectly cromulent opinions on many other topics). Susan Sarandon is and always will be one of the hottest women I've ever seen. Something, something, crawling crotch first through broken glass (or at least the young, unmarried version of campcrunk would have).
I think I've already said all I needed to say.
Also, any Twin Peaks fan who can discuss the universe's love for Dougie Jones is OK in my book, even if they are wrong about certain award winning actresses. May the White Lodge (or whatever that weird Judy entity living in Sarah Palmer was - if you're into that) keep you safe and happy
Jesus Christ.
You either want that, or you do.

I was at both of those shows.
Ratt was underwhelming. I had high hopes because I liked their music back in the day but Pearcy just didn’t have good stage presence and doesn’t sing great live.
He ain't good in the studio, either.
1 hour ago, Vanilla Strange Gato said:Seeing Ratt live also helped clear up who the shredder was between DeMartini and Crosby.
It was DeMartini, right? But Crosby iirc came up with the riffs, no? Which is why they haven't come up with anything new since he died.
