They're an old punk band that hipsters like to listen to today, to be all retro and shit.

Yeah, I think the character sucked.  I'm not sure if the actor was bad.  When he went nuts, that was pretty convincing.

When I think about the different arcs of that show, of all of them, the ones that really stick with me are those four "boys of summer", and how they end up at the end of S5. 

Let's just say I knew how he had died before seeing the actual obituary. 

The life of a rock band! You can't even go into the studio with your producer without people starting rumors.  Maybe some equipment was broken and they wanted to take a look at it!

I was in middle school when this hit, so there were numerous people in my class who wore their pants backwards.  It wasn't me; I wasn't popular enough to be different.  But here's a tip for those of you wanting to start wearing them backwards in time for this concert:  You have to get them at least one, preferably

If there's an inventory of "Comebacks that were much better than you expected", the "new" Beavis and Butthead certainly makes the list.  Too much Jersey Shore, but the videos still were great.

They've got whatever Different Strokes kid and Webster had, so be respectful.

Why does American rock suffer so much compared to UK rock? Who would VH fight for the top spot? Aerosmith? Guns N Roses? I'll be across the pond, with the Zeps and the Sabbaths and, I dunno, Queen? The US is a leader in many cultural exports, but our rock acts pale to the Brits.

My roommate in college bought that album, and we all harassed him non-stop.  He admitted it was a bad album, but I think, even if he liked it, there was just too much razzing to say he actually liked it.

I always thought of Gene as someone protective of his place in music, so I thought he would be reluctant to produce some young up-and-comer.  But, above being protective, he loves that sweet money.

Any EVH solo that has no pyrotechnics is dead to me.

The good old days were when roadies who were angry at the band would do that.  Linda McCartney had some off-key singing that they isolated and leaked in the 70s.

He used positivity to beat it!  Or something along those lines.

The director of "Punisher: War Zone" was on How Did This Get Made and was very similar.  She sounded like someone that, in her spare time, would never, ever watch a mindless action movie, but basically did it to get a film added to her resume.  I remember her saying something along the lines of, as a young filmmaker,

Do Wages of Fear and follow it up with Diabolique, by the same director.  Sure, it's annoying that he put his wife in every movie he directed, but Clouzot's a pretty good director (also directed The Mystery of Picasso, or Draw Something: The Movie), and does 50s suspense better than anyone not named Hitchcock.

I went to First Ave for wrestling a few years ago, and saw Lenny Lane (who was a jobber in WCW) fight a jobber in whatever this league was, and that guy's "move" was to repeatedly karate-chop, alternating hands, the chest of his opponent, like a walking, chopping robot.  Lenny sold it, but the crowd wanted that guy

Plus, it has the most insane death in any Hitchcock movie, and I cannot even think about what would be number 2 on that list.  That girl that gets strangled with the tie, it's like Hitchcock did it as a middle-finger to people who thought he was too old. 

Well, it has ninja robots, for starters.  If you're still reading, I guess you might want to watch it. 

I consider most of the songs on that album superior to the versions on "The Smiths", plus it has "Handsome Devil", the best gay sex song they ever recorded. Seriously, that guitar riff snarls.
