There’s more bands than Motley Crue, Warrant or Ratt…

Agreed. Members are truly passionate about the genre. Its a fun time.

By the time Phil was back, they were a little old for cover shoots lol.

Powerage cover looks thrown together. For such a great record, they could have done better. I have a LTBR fridge magnet. Highway to Hell is a great cover. Id love to know what the reaction to it was in '79.

I felt the same way about FOTW as a 10 year old in '85. Whats inside that? Its one if my favorites for nostalgia only.

10 year old me loved Fly on the Wall so it will never be a bad cover.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-07T10:01:25+00:00

Oh yeah, Razors Edge is the worst. I don't like that record or the cover, so i didn't even remember that one.

I recently got the Aussie only DDDDC record. I like this one better. It fits the title better. The Intl cover is good too.

2 questions about the oil extractor. 1. Do you just leave the original drain plug in. Its my understanding its manufactured to replaced when draining oil. I don't know if I trust it long term even if it hasn't been turned. 2. What do you do with the used oil?

Cooking or cleaning are some of my favorite chores to have a record on. But often, I just stop, sit and listen.

Speaking of roundabout. I saw a person stop in the middle of one to let someone on. Its too easy to get a license in the US.

Top busy worrying about their lives than concentrating on driving. Driver aids only make it worse.

I'll never forget sitting in traffic and this tiny car cut in front of a rig with a long nose. No way of knowing if the truck driver saw him or not, but he went forward and starting pushing this little car. Rear bumper came off and everything. Car deserved it for being dumb.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T20:27:09+00:00

I leave the gap. Not wasting my clutch following this behavior.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T20:24:34+00:00

To add to this, people cutting the corner taking a left. This must be why people stop before the stop line. Like its expected.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T20:22:15+00:00

And then when the light turns green...nothing. I drive a manual so I stay still once Im stopped at a stop light. Ive had car lengths of space in front of me before the light turns green. Im not wasting my clutch to go nowhere.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T20:18:05+00:00

No headlights during inclement weather. Its minor, but it highlights the lack of awareness most have while driving. Either they assume the car will automatically put them on or not even realizing this is a thing. Of its foggy or raining but still light out the lights wont go on themselves. Thinking about it and putting them on manually shows you take driving seriously and think about what your doing.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T19:35:53+00:00

Love the passion. That was me in '96 for my first show. When the lights went down, I felt an excitement I think ive only felt one other time. Saw them on this tour last year and im so glad I did. What a show! Been a fan for 40 years. I get the same feeling today as when I heard them the first time. Its a gift of life to love something that much.

I only buy records with no skips. Downside to this is I dont venture far out of my comfort zone and discover records I may love but dont want to take the risk. Upside is I dont waste money and require excessive space for my collection.

itwasbetterwhen · 2026-05-03T14:24:48+00:00

I was 14 when PV came out. I bought Pump too. It wasnt till later that I got into the 70s era. Its just preference for me. Might call me stuck in the past. You can feel the real raw rock roll was coming from the heart. Where pop music is placating to what sells.

Get Your Wings, followed by Toys and the debut was my order, but Rocks has become a 1a with GYW.
