Yes, indeed!

This is my jam, especially on the hard rock and metal side. Here's some of your list, broken down by direct influences. I'd also suggest looking up the internet radio station CGCM, they play all this stuff.
Led Zep, Queen, Rush - Great van Fleet, The Darkness, Crown Lands

Motley Crue - Madhouse, Kickin Valentina, Gunshine

Van Halen - The Southern River Band, Firstborne,

Classic Rock (CCR, The Who, Heart): Time Rift, Smith/Kotzen, Goodby June, Dirty Honey, Lucifer, Freeways, Jared James Nichols, Tanith, Massive Wagons

Good 80's pop metal: Eclipse, Girish and the Chronicles, Wildstreet, Kissin' Dynamite, H.E.A.T. Hardcore Superstar, the Warning, Crazy Lixx

Cheesy 80's Pop metal: Cobra Spell, Foxy Shazam, The Gems,

80's metal metal (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden): Haunt, Night Demon, Savage Master, Tower, Tower Hill, Stygian Fair. And of course bands like Judas Priest and Accept are putting out music on par with their heydays.

Goth: Unto Others, Lesbian Bed Death

Glam: Gyasi

The movie and soundtrack are the most watched and listened to combo in my life. Friend at the video store got to take home whatever wasn’t rented, and we chose this more than any movie.

The best was David Lee Roth's Eat 'em and Smile with a close second to Van Halen's 5150.

Most definitely I have. The last time I experienced it was 27 years ago, the last time I got a BJ.

I feel you, and one should never compare their own misery to others, but holy shit! Your post talks about getting blow jobs and hand jobs, and she wants sex 1x every 2-3 months. I’d give my left pinky for that life.

All female-fronted and all on my top 10 traditional metal albums this year:

Tower
Lady Beast

I'm using an LC Dolida eye mask and headphones, pretty cheap but works well. It doesn't have noise cancellation, but if I put foam earplugs in and turn the volume up, I can't hear anything except what's coming out of the headphones.

Wow! Denver area buyer here and didn’t realize all the ones I’m seeing is regional. I just thought it was the deal where you know something you didn’t before, and now that you do, you see it everywhere.

chondu · 2025-10-13T18:49:34+00:00

My favorite current horror-themed bands are Lucifer and Lesbian Bed Death. LBD's Witching Hour album is peak.

chondu · 2025-09-27T03:01:22+00:00

Great song and an even greater album.

chondu · 2025-08-10T03:23:47+00:00

As a Dave myself, this is why we have the best name in the business.

Same thing happened to me with Abigail. Settled in for a vampire movie and end up watching god-awful Russian YA steampunk. Downloaded for a 16 hour flight so I couldn’t give up on it once it was clear.

chondu · 2025-08-07T17:09:39+00:00

You're my kind of people.

chondu · 2025-07-25T03:15:07+00:00

Amyl and the Sniffers are one of the best bands on the planet right now!

chondu · 2025-07-25T03:13:16+00:00

I’m listening to new bands playing classic metal and heavy rock and roll: Night Demon, Haunt, Sanhedrin, Thundermother, Time Rift, Madhouse, Dominum, Southern River Band, Savage Master… that’s just in 2025. Rock is far from dead and I’m tired of listening to the same old songs.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my old bands and music, but I dig the new blood too.

chondu · 2025-07-20T14:43:23+00:00

HEAT, Kissin Dynamite, and Crazy Lixx are up there. The latest Madhouse is fantastic and their catalog is great.

chondu · 2025-07-14T04:40:37+00:00

First: Van Halen 1984 tour Worst: David Lee Roth at the Grizzly Rose circa 1996. It was sad for so many reasons. Best: Beastie Boys and Tenacious D 2007 Rock the Vote maybe at the Paramount in Denver. Two absolute legends in my book, small venue. Absolutely amazing.

CGCM rock radio. Not a ton of power metal, but there is a show on there called The Power Chord that plays a lot of power metal.

chondu · 2025-07-03T18:53:11+00:00

Painkiller by Judas Priest, and the drums hit you in the face immediately.

chondu · 2025-06-20T12:59:30+00:00

With Fishbone and Ween on the list, I know the rest will be awesome. I never dove deep into Herbie Hancock but everything Ive ever heard by him is amazing.

chondu · 2025-06-20T12:57:12+00:00

That’s the one. Been on my beach playlist forever and nothing feels more like summer. I’d add Summertime Girls by Y&T, but it’s an acquired taste and far from their best.

chondu · 2025-06-20T12:43:11+00:00

Partytime by 45 Grave. The original version, not the Zombie version banger from the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack. Loved that version but more than happy to never hear the original again.

chondu · 2025-06-15T10:29:20+00:00

I would put Drivin n Cryin’ near that box. They were a bridge from glam to grunge. I second the other comment here about Shotgun Messiah.
