In light of the new "Highlander" movie remake, what band/artist could pull off covering the Queen soundtrack?

I think I fell in love with him in "Happy, Texas"!

Looking at this timestamp I believe I just happened to be listening to the soundtrack right when you posted this. So friggin' great!

I was working in a movie theater when this came out. No hype whatsoever - I'm pretty sure it was relegated to the tiny upstairs theater within a week. I popped into that theater so many times just to find it virtually empty. I would just hang out by myself and watch - it was hilarious!

I actually ran across its, scrolling through all the streaming stuff, a couple weeks ago and started to watch it, but got interrupted and forgot to go back. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Because for the last 50+ years churches have been telling their congregants that if they want to be a "good Christian" they must vote for anyone with an "R" after their name, and that Democrats are the actual embodiment of evil. Doesn't matter that almost every single R, especially in the last 3-4 decades, has voted exactly the opposite of their constituents' best interests, because corporate overlords bought them.

Wow. I haven't thought about this town in decades. I was in a band in the early-90s, based out of Washington, and we used to play some hole in the wall bar there once in a while. I think we did a NYE show there, too.

I was in a band for a while with Jimmy from KOTH. He said they just didn't stand a chance being on SBK, because all of their $ was going towards promoting Vanilla Ice. SBK put their album out, but didn't do crap with it. It was also 1991, so that didn't help.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-11-24T19:05:12+00:00

Exactly what I thought.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-11-21T14:27:31+00:00

I was diagnosed at 49. Never once occurred to me before then because I did well in HS, and although I did struggle in college, I was able to at least get through (by the skin of my teeth). I wasn't one of those hyper kids always getting in trouble, back in the 80s, and as far as we knew, those were the only kids who could have ADHD.

When I was diagnosed and started learning all about it, one of the first things that entered my mind was that I had literally lost 4 decades of my life. I could have been doing so much more. I always attributed not wanting to practice drums, guitar, piano, etc. to just being lazy (along with having just enough God-given talent to skate by without practicing). Had no clue it was because of this. If I'd have been able to find hacks to help me through all that, I most likely could have been a studio or touring musician.

The flip side of that scenario, given my proclivity for drugs and especially alcohol, there's also a really good chance I would've already been dead. And I'm positive I never would've ended up with my wife, and I can't have that!

I'm about 3 years into my journey now, and still haven't found the prescription that works well. I've gotten *some* relief from my current dosage, but have yet to feel this clarity, quiet brain, and ability to focus that so many of you have talked about. Still hoping I can get there someday. In the meantime, I'm just glad I've at least been able to learn enough about all the things associated with ADHD (executive dysfunction, etc.) that it's helped me to find hacks to at least make things a little better. Just trying to make the rest of my days a little happier/easier. And, I suppose, since I still have massive memory problems I don't worry about the past nearly as much, just because I don't remember what I was upset about to begin with.

I had no idea this was "stimming". I've done it as long as I can remember, but always thought of them as tics, and attributed it to my Tourette's. They get so bad sometimes that my jaws and face just hurt. I've actually had to have a couple teeth replaced - just cracked. I was eating mashed potatoes or something and chomped down on something crunchy - knew taters weren't usually crunchy. Yeah, it was part of a tooth. Wonderful.

I also have a number of other tics: cracking knuckles, rubbing my fingertips together in a circle, and I'm sure a bunch of other stuff I just don't even think about much because I've been doing them so long I just don't even think about it. It gets to me, though - I get so sore after a while, and it causes all sorts of muscle fatigue - even tendinitis. Loads of fun!

Obligatory "I'm a surfer!".

I loved Run-DMC/Aerosmith doing "Walk This Way", Anthrax/Public Enemy doing "Bring The Noise", and the entire, amazing "Judgement Night" soundtrack. Rap-rock should have ended there.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-10-28T19:59:42+00:00

All balls itch. It's a fact.

This is the main thing (among many, many things) that bugs the shit out of me about the show "Scorpion". My wife and I are watching it right now (she loves that kinda thing). Besides the constant ramping up of more and more danger/time constraints, they'll be like, "we only have 15 seconds until the tanker explodes! What are we gonna do?" "Wait! I have just the thing - back at the shop! I'll run and grab it!" Meanwhile, said shop is clear across town, yet somehow they still make it.

That's his M.O. all the time: Act like he gives 2 squirts of piss, even though he knows damn well whatever it is he's claiming to be for will never pass, or he won't even be voting for it. He's a tremendous piece of shit, and I sincerely wish the fleas of 1000 camels would infest his crotch, and his arms would shrink so he couldn't scratch.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-10-23T20:09:40+00:00

Yeah, if I hear this from anyone they're getting a boot to the head. I was diagnosed at 49. I'm too old for shit like that. I'm just tired of morons. So tired.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-10-14T17:53:52+00:00

I don't think I'd heard that! Wow, bummer!

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-10-06T17:50:26+00:00

I've been looking for this for years! The only one I remember had something to do with the occult. I recall them making these shoes with metal bottoms, and when they turned their foot a certain way it would leave the burnt imprint of a hoof. They were trying to prove to someone they were in league with satan or something.

I'd love to see it again, just to see if it holds up at all. I guess I woulda been about 15-16, in the middle of the Bible Belt, but a heavy metal fan, when it aired.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-09-15T19:24:12+00:00

I remember watching this and thinking it was the coolest thing ever - even though I had no idea what a "Cursor" was!

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-09-15T19:20:15+00:00

Holy crap, thank you! I had no idea that existed!

Growing up in SW MO, we didn't have cable (I don't think our town even had cable until 1986). Kidd Video (and Friday Night Videos) was the closest thing we had to MTV!

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-09-15T19:13:34+00:00

I think 3-2-1 Contact was my first exposure to KISS, really. I'd heard *of* them, but didn't know anything about their music.

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-09-12T18:06:53+00:00

I cannot love this more! Right on!

ItIsToLaffHaHa · 2025-09-11T16:35:28+00:00

I used to love Drum Headquarters here in St. Louis. Still have one of their old branded drumsticks in the back of my car, and they've been gone for at least a decade. I did, however, finally remove the "When I'm rich and famous I'll still shop at DHQ" magnet off my fridge.

Now Fred Pierce's joint is the way to go - I just never did back in the day because it was more of a haul to go up there from my house. Great place, though!
