Wow, looks like conversations about music get as hot as those about politics and religion.

Not saying we should ban them, but I for one have religion about my music. Meaning it ranks up in my top five in life.

That's why I don't talk about politics, religion or music - too passionate about all three.

I did a story on this on my blog, although I don't get into whether GNR is better than Nirvana or not.

It also has another video of my duo live at the NY bar. Doing 'Heaven's Door' of all things!

Hey, I mean while we are all so eager to share our personal opinions, this one always got the job done for me... :D

That`s not all you don`t get. :lol: You seemed to also miss the fact that no one discouraged sharing personal opinions, personal tastes in music...

You got that right. After the first five or so albums, Aerosmith did in fact go downhill. May have been caused by their heavy drug usage in that time. They were not known as the 'Toxic Twins' during that time period for nothing. They did come back strong with the 'Pump' album, but other than that, their output pretty much sucked. It was interesting how Joe Perry and the rest of the band threatened to tour without Tyler, after his falling off the stage at the bike rally in South Dakota. What a mistake that would have been! Sort of like when they broke up in the eighties, and the Joe Perry Project produced an album, and Brad Whitford created his own band as well.
'Old timer'...well, as I stated in another thread, I find in extremely difficult and rather pointless to discuss rock music with most anyone under the age of 47 or so, as their frame of reference is somewhat limited. I mean, for example, how do you convey how great and influential the Beatles were to someone who was not 'of age' (or even born) to appreciate their music, to say nothing of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Who, etc.? Sure, one can recognize the genuis of the music, but to fully appreciate the impact, you 'had to be there'!

Wow...Aerosmith and the J Geils Band to play at Fewway Park on August 14! Damn! I remember when Peter Wolf was a DJ at the great Boston FM radio station WBCN in the late sixties! I was on the stage in 1971 when the J. Geils Band played a live gig with Yes. Magic Dick and the 'lickin' stick'. 'Roundabout' and 'Looking for a Love'...great show! Holy shit...great memories of the Rat in Kenmore Square, to say nothing of the Orpheum, the Paradise, Uncle Sams, the Channel, and the other clubs in Boston in those days.

The J Geils Band, circa 1979 (the party can start now!)...

Brother GringoTim mentions in the Tagline area, one of the best all-time alt-whatever bands--Drive-By Truckers. In addition to their own significant work, they are the go-to band for backing all manner of new/emerging or re-emerging artists. Check'em out, dudes. BR5-49 is another group like that.
