    This is gold from the guy who "meh'd" Born to Run. Oh, Arturo, sweet prince of irony.

    I love JJ's take on the 'mats. Westerberg is indeed a first rate lyricist. I recently read Bob Mehr's book "Trouble Boys" and found it to be a fascinating synopsis of their evolution as a band. They were every bit great and shitty at the same time. What if Westerberg actually did care enough to give it his all every time?

    But to stay on topic I'd agree whole heartedly w/ the OP's offering of The Doors. Jim Morrison reminds me of that guy you meet for the first time at a party. After he's had one drink he says something that catches your attention & makes you think "gee, that's a unique take." After his second a crowd's gathering around him as he prattles on nonsensically. An hour later he's vomiting on the rug & speaking pure gibberish, yelling at anyone who's still listening to open up their mind. Ray Manzarek deserved better.

    Somewhat agree on the doors but they do have a few amazing tunes - The End, Riders on the Storm, Break On Through, etc.  when they were good they were great but mostly just crap.

    I can't argue with that. one of them was one of my roommates my freshman year...

    And that somebody is wrong. They're behind Bon Jovi, Poison and Warrant. They're behind Winger.

    Ahead of Nelson, though. Eeeeeeeuuuuagh.

    There are only two great hair metal bands: VH and GnR. One of these represents the beginning of the genre, the other its last dying gasp.

    Def Leppard isn't hair metal and anyone who classifies them as such should be clubbed over the head with a Tannoy speaker. They're NWOBHM goddammit.

    Scorpions weren’t hair metal.   More hard rock like UFO or Montrose.  I know their albums could be inconsistent but check out tunes like Animal Magnetism or China White, nobody did stuff like that.  Just saying.....

    It looks like he has cirrhosis of the liver and a belly full of ascites. Seriously. 

    I had to look up ascites and I think you are right.  Jesus, he’s a mess.

    My wife watches this.  I'll ask for a report.  

    Watched with my wife and I will never get that time back again.  Fat acceptance, drag queens and Jennifer Anniston don’t go together.  It was like an after school special and was  just awful.

  5. I saw Vince 5 years ago at some shitty casino gig (snoqualmie casino).  He wasn’t good and disappeared mid gig for 10+ minutes while his band just kept going.  Wife and I suspect he had to suck some oxygen because he was so winded singing every third word and moving around a little bit.  He looked 10 times better then than now.
