Man in Motion may have been my last vinyl purchase as well too. Paul

Keith Olsen would be very happy seeing you guys rank "Man in Motion" so highly. When I told him I bought that record as a kid he said "Oh...you were the one!" :) Paul

I loved the Waltham stuff and the USA!USA!USA! tunes are fun as well. I love their sense of humor. The new video was very creative. :) Paul

LOL! What were they thinking letting him wear that jacket? Oh boy....

Pretty cool and definitely entertaining! I put on my headphones and listened to the whole thing this morning while doing my TPS Reports. :)

I bought Promised Land the first day it was released and was so eager to hear it. I played it once and was incredibly disappointed...I could hardly believe it was the QR I knew and loved so I played it one more time to see if I just didn't get it on the first listen. The second listen bummed me out even more and I never listened to it again. :(

Agreed. It was a great interview and I miss him in Heart as well. Ann and Nancy really need to find a better guitarist than the one they've been playing with for the past several years. Paul

Definitely best of luck to you. Try to stay relaxed and be yourself so you can think quickly on your feet. Also, the right answer is sometimes "I don't know"...honesty/believability goes a long way. :) Paul

The energy with which he performs is staggering too considering his age. He holds nothing back...he gives the audience everything he has and he's genuine. Paul

I love Sammy's voice and he has written a ton of great songs (I was a Sammy fan before becoming a VH fan as a kid) but yeah, sometimes he misses just a little outside in the lyrical department. ;-) Case in point...the 2004 VH reunion song "Up For Breakfast". LOL!!! OMG!!! I'm sure he was just having fun but still...that sits around for the world to hear forever. Ugggh! Truth be told, ev

The first Iron Man movie was perfect in my book. Did you guys see a special premier or is Iron Man 3 already in the theatres? That will be a must see for me.

LOL!! Yeah, "Tantra" is a pretty song but it does sound like a song for a Disney animated movie and not for Journey. Overall I liked Journey's Eclipse CD but it did not resonate as strongly with me as their Revelation CD did. I really don't know why. I'm a guitarist and I love songs with big guitar solos and Eclipse had that in spades. However, I connect even more with songs than I do g

I loved the song "Russia". Best song on the Shadow King CD. That was a warm up vocal that Keith recorded unbeknownst to Lou. Lou never got another take. He didn't need one. :) Paul

I loved "Midnight Blue"! That was a fave song of mine for a long time back when it was on the radio. I personally chose the cherry red though... ;-) Paul

It's really too bad. Richie's the biggest talent in that band. I love his guitar playing and vocals! Hopefully Jon and Richie can work this out. There should be plenty of money to go around for both of them and Jon should value Richie's contribution more than this latest scandal might make us think he does. Paul

A friend of mine quite literally just ran into Rudy Sarzo on the street in downtown Bellevue, WA this morning. Rudy told my friend that he had joined QR and was in town to rehearse. Paul

The title track was great...very catchy chorus with great guitar playing. I'm listening to it right now. I'm struck by how much I don't like the mix though...Dave is way too loud and the snare is really thin and pointy from an EQ standpoint. Other than wishing the mix was better though, it was a very cool song! :) Paul

Yeah, that was my fave song on Balance as well. :)

The other guitarists were huge session guys along with Dann Huff. Terrific players to say the least. All of which you have heard time and time again but just didn't know who they were because session guys are the unsung heroes of pop music. Paul

Yeah, Eric! I agree! Keith and I were actually working on a song together when Dave first called Keith to ask him to participate in the movie. So I have been hearing about this movie for a long time. :) Keith and I talked about Sound city last week too and especially in regard to the drum sound. The bottom line about the "live room" was that the space was so big that it sort of took the

The Foo Fighters are great! I was never a Nirvana fan but Dave Grohl writes great melodic songs. Dave and Rick would actually be a good combo but neither really needs the other since they both create great music on their own. :) Paul

I have indeed heard his song with Dave Grohl and saw the movie too. My favorite line in the movie is toward the end when Dave is talking to Paul McCartney and he asks Paul "Why can't it always be this easy?" and Paul replies back "It is!" :) Keith Olsen and I talked about that last week. He even knew which line was going to be my fave from the movie. :) Anyway, you are very

Wow...Bobby's vocal on the chorus of Africa still gives me chills after all these years! His vocal is what made the song along with the cool world beat feel. Love that song...which is a weird thing for a guitar guy to say because it's not a very good guitar song. It's just a fantastic musical statement from the band in general with everyone pooling their talents to serve the song and serve it wel

I just worked out this morning to the electric version of the CD. I bought it at Best Buy so it has the "Let Me IN", "Jet", "Lust", and "Her Body Makes Vows" bonus tracks. I'd love to have the other bonus tracks that were released for the other versions of this CD like "My DUI". I already had "Lust" since I have the Sahara Snow CD from t
