SOMETHING OLD:
VAN HALEN
OU812
WARNER BROS. RECORDS
1988
I hate Van Hagar. If David Lee Roth is not singing on it, it
ain’t Van Halen.
This album sucks. After Roth, Van Halen turned into a
lame and sappy pop and power ballad band, and as you all know I hate ballads.
This abhorrent piece of crap starts off with “MINE ALL MINE”-a song in
which spam-bone-ched-head, I mean Sammy Hagar, is fucking preaching. I don’t wanna hear preaching, and the Sammy era VH was loaded with preaching and whining, such as the next horrid power ballad, “WHEN IT’S LOVE”.
“A.F.U.(NATURALLY WIRED)” is the only song on this album that I can
stomach.
SOMETHING NEW:
MEGADETH
THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO
SANCTUARY
2001I just recently went to see these guys play at Gigantour. I must say
that Dave and the boys have still got it. That is much more than I can say for Dave Mustain’s former band mates in Metallica.
I have yet to hear a Bad album from these guys. I will say that the best tracks on this one are the likes of “DISCONNECT”, “THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO”, “DREAD AND THE FUGITIVE MIND” AND “RETURN TO HANGER”
MEGADETH FUCKING RULES. THE MUSIC SPEAK VOLUMES FOR ITSELF SO GO GET
SOME!!!
SOMETHING FROM OUR JURASSIC PERIOD:
Dion started out in a Doo-Wop outfit called “Dion and The Belmonts”
then he went out on his own. He was always a good singer as well as a good performer. Dion is best remembered for his hit “The Wonderer”.
Until next time you bloody lot……..
