I have thus far managed to avoid hearing/seeing this and that pis above certainly does not make me feel that I've missed anything.

Dokken was awful. I'd rather listen to any of the other hair metal bands than the dreck Dokken put out. OK, not White Lion, but almost anyone else.

It was a shock meeting Buck Dharma after seeing him on stage a bunch of times. The whole larger-than-life rock star thing came crashing down when I noticed he's like 5 foot 2.

The best part is clearly "The Virtual Flowers feature has been turned off for this memorial because it was being continually misused."

I liked this movie quite a bit when it was called "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion", so I'll probably see this.

If Star Trek is the "best", I guess I'm not going bother at all with Into Darkness, since Star Trek was a dull unmemorable mess.

My parents had pretty good taste in music (I can't remember not knowing all the words to Sgt. Pepper, which came out when I was 4), but my mother drew the line at Alice Cooper, probably solely based on the song title "Dead Babies." I had to sneak a neighbor's copy of Killer into my basement bedroom in order to…

Actually, McDonald's fought the idea of switching from styrofoam for a while partly because it was so easily recyclable. Of course, most of it didn't actually get recycled, so public pressure continued and they switched to the plastic-coated, harder-to-recycle cardboard that's still used today.

Hasn't his drug use been overstated over the years, though? My understanding was that he did drugs on occasion, but not to the extent that you'd consider him a "druggie."

I've heard it argued that Linda (Eastman) McCartney was more of a contributor than Yoko to the breakup. Paul was, at one point, pushing for her brother to be the group's financial adviser. Note that the other Beatles wanted Allen Klein, so they're probably better off for having broken up over it (among other things).

Yeah, it is definitely better than it's reputation would lead you to believe. Great scenery chewing by Charles Dance and Tom Noonan, too.

The fact that Round and Round was by Ratt has no bearing on it being the best Van Halen single ever.

I've heard it described as the best Van Halen single ever. Hard to disagree.

While I'm sure it won't sit well with the hipster/indie crowd around these parts, I'll defend Aerosmith's output up to and including Get A Grip and even like a couple of things on Nine Lives. The first Aerosmith album without a single good song is Just Push Play. Obviously, there's a drop in quality from their 70s…

I actually found the most hilarious part of the book to be the fact that Nikki Sixx seems to actually believe he's a great lyricist.

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends (at least while the ratings hold up).

Last year, I went as Heisenberg: http://imgur.com/oI6ZwCB. This year, I wanted to do Walter post-Granite State, but found out I cannot grow a full beard. Over a month of not shaving and I looked like a homeless guy with mange. I ended up going as a random member of the Sons of Anarchy (which consisted of putting on…

Holy fuck! I just read what Clapton said. I think Mel Gibson may be a better human being than this prick.

I wasn't aware of that in Clapton's case (mostly because he's been so fucking boring since about 1972 that I haven't paid him any attention at all) and I thought Page ceded the "biggest asshole in Zeppelin" ground to Robert Plant ages ago.

Fact: Jeff Beck is a better guitarist than all of his contemporaries (Clapton, Page, etc.). He's just not much of a songwriter and is apparently an asshole to boot. Otherwise, everyone would know just how goddamned good he is.
