Both CD's released 20 years ago today! I vividly remember buying both of them on Day 1. I called my friend Jeff (who is a little hearing impaired) and told him the new Winger album was called "Pull" and he thought I said "Pole." Of course, he thought "Pole" was a stupid name for an album title. I said, "no it's Pull like push and pull." Jeff replied, &

I popped on the Bring Back Glam Website earlier today and somebody mentioned "Loudness was jawdropping, aweness, OFF THE CHARTS INCREDIBLE." I saw them live a few years ago and really enjoyed their set, but I thought it was funny when you said "Awful, awful sound. The worst of the day." Just goes to show that different people have different experiences seeing the same band

Most areana acts don't sell out a 12,000-15,000 seat arena. I just saw Bob Seger and Joe Walsh and the show sold well but you can always see a lot of empty seats in the nosebleeds. If you open the entire house - and push up the capacity to 16,000-18,000 seats, you run the risk of the empty seats making the show look like a failure.

There's very little, if any, non-LP b-sides from the OTTN or HND era. If they did Deluxe Editions of those albums, they'd either have to include demos or live stuff as bonus tracks. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

There is a Slang Deluxe Edition on the way - and should be released any week now, in fact. Viv and the rest of the band have confirmed it for months, but no solid release date has been given. But Viv said it's done and ready to go... As a huge Leppard fan, of course I would suggest you pick up the Deluxe Editions. The 1983 Live CD from The Forum in L.A. is a great bonus disc to Pyromania an

YouTube is the national TV station now if you haven't noticed, so EVERY live performance is televised! whether it's from the CMT Awards or a small club in Billings, Montana. It doesn't matter - every band, every artist is having to deal with the reality that their concerts are being recorded and broadcast for the world to see.
