    They don't make 'em like they used to eh?

    I'm blasting out Nazareth, Cinderella, Warrant and Night Ranger (great names too) with 5,000 watts of raw power here, and I can see a mob of people coming over the horizon to join me for a party.:)

    So who likes the old glamtastic rock ballads? Go on, admit it, I won't tell anyone.

    There's a reason some things should just allowed to die out.

    They are the worst thing to come out of the 'hair metal era'.

    You wonder why grunge laid waste to the entire genre ?

    I blame Aerosmith's 'Angel' for starting the entire mess.

    But Glam is the is the bane of all metal

    in any case I am growing out of metal, but still clinging on like that manchild and have narrowed down my interest to to like 3 bands or something who are on the verge of retirement anyhow so good luck with that too.

    Foreigner always comes after Poison. It's like an unwritten rule.

    There is nothing better than listening to rock ballads on a midweek night whilst drinking alone in your boxer shorts.
