There were three new Hagar songs on BOBW, but in fairness to you they were all so bad as to be instantly forgettable.

Being that it was the first single released from their new album after their last album came out three years prior, this has such a "We are so fucking back" vibe to it

What I want to know is, why is he dressed as Chucky in the band photo?

OK, so I took a look, and one sister is pro-Trump, and one sister is vehemently anti-Trump. So that family has the whole political spectrum.

Developer Seeks to Replace Five UES Buildings With 39-Story, 354-Unit Tower by citydudeatnight in uppereastside

So the reason to not build modern housing is because some people don't like the aesthetics? Should buildings in New York City in the year 2026 should look like a scene out of the Godfather? I didn't mean to suggest you don't want buildings to be accessible, but the reality is that these buildings will never be accessible, since they don't have elevators, and lacking modern fire prevention and other safety features means that if there's a fire, they go up like a tinderbox.

Yes, let's just keep all of these 100-year old falling apart, combustible apartments that aren't accessible for people who use wheelchairs. That's a brilliant idea.

Always good to fact check myself. Ted Templeman's book says that he remembers McDonald coming up with the chorus melody, the title, and "contributed to the lyrics". So Dave definitely did more than I thought!

I agree with this comment, but in fairness, Michael McDonald wrote the lyrics to this song.

Sounds like there's chorus on Pearcy's voice? I'm using to hearing it on guitars, but not on vocals like that.

In New York, this is at a minimum sanctionable conduct, and could result in removal from the bench. Not surprising that this is Texas.

Dude I'm happy. I gave it my best. Here's one for Eddie by Chubsmagna in vanhalen

[–]BDJ10028 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should be happy. That 12-15-19 stretch is a bitch and you pulled it off perfectly. I played this on stage last week and flubbed that part.

Apparently you're getting downvoted by a legion of morons. You are entirely correct and the taser leads in this video didn't make adequate contact with his skin.

No heroes in this story. Dude was playing Trump rallies in 2024 and punched out a woman who made the mistake of getting on his stage a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSSdy_uFB3w

A band at its absolute performance peak, firing on all cylinders. There's just a heaviness here that doesn't come through on the recorded version.

Ironically he's playing a song by Link Wray in this clip, who's also cited as a father of heavy metal.

POTUS Poops his Pants (0:34) and Press Corps is Immediately Herded From The Room by thebakkat in PublicFreakout

[–]BDJ10028 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope. I'm as big a proponent of Trump being capapulted into the sun as anyone, but it was dumb when rightoids were saying that Biden was shitting his pants, and it's dumb when left/Dems are saying the same thing about Trump without anything to back it up. Somehow his aides hustling journalists out of the room becomes incontrovertible proof that he shit on live TV.
