Where's that jerk who calls himself The TICK?

Really? Maybe it depends on the venue, but seeing them at the Fillmore in San Francisco was nearly a life changing musical experience. Amazing live band, one of the best I've ever seen.

"New Miserable Experience" is one of the great albums of the 90's. It sounded extremely "peppy" in places but is one of the most depressing records to ever find mainstream success. The band fell from relevance because the guy who wrote NME (Dough Hopkins) died shortly after the record was released, and had been

I loved reading this. My grandparents used to "make" me watch Andy Griffith and it was always so easy to get caught up in. I'm surprised there was no mention of "Mayberry R.F.D." or Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C." but that might be related to how I just didn't want the article to end.

Dio Sabbath was great. It's a shame that devil doesn't get the due it deserves, but the history of the Sabs has been completely rewritten so that it basically starts and stops with Osbourne.

You are completely right. I think it's really a combination of three different shows cut and pasted together by Page. Some of it was just to find the best performances, there were also some copyright issues where Page couldn't get the clearances he wanted for some of the medleys in songs like "Whole Lotta Love."

It was on the back of the "Immigrant Song" 45. It was recorded to be a single.

DVD! How come nobody talks about that? It's worth whatever price simply for the Royal Albert Hall show from 1970.

Actually the album everyone should really own isn't an album at all, it's the DVD set from 2003. That thing is a monster, and a monster in the absolutely best way possible. Zeppelin live is a completely different beast than the band in the studio and "The Song Remains The Same" doesn't quite capture all of the

I completely disagree with the notion that the Rockets two titles should be ignored. Even had his Airness played in 93-94 that's no guarantee his Bulls would have gotten back to the NBA Finals. Jordan's supporting crew changed considerably between the Bulls two championship runs, and the pieces weren't quite there

At least "Arrow" offers reasons to dislike Laurel, "SHIELD" tries so hard to get people to like Skye yet the character remains awful.

"will air live on CBS" except on the West Coast because CBS is terrible.

Is it really fair to talk about "live" events when the West Coast gets all of this stuff on a three hour tape delay? If you want to watch something like this and form your own opinion and live out here you have to basically avoid social media in the three hours leading up to these events. (We even get awards shows

Completely not true and terribly inaccurate. In hindsight it feels like everything flipped over night, but that wasn't the case. In 1992 bands like Extreme were still getting airplay and being shown on MTV, often right after Pearl Jam and Nirvana videos. Tesla's "Psychotic Supper" came out in 1991 and was certified

Every time I see "Captain Marvel" I want the article to actually be about Captain Marvel, the Big Red Cheese, the superhero whose name Marvel stole and now DC calls "Shazam!" Sadness.

Fantastic sound track too. Loved the movie and then listened to the Wailing Souls, Super Cat, and Worl-A-Girl for about a year straight.

Musically the Beyonce performance was all over the place, but as a piece of entertainment she was top-notch.

An absolutely perfect pop song. I've listened to this song at least 1000 times in my life and oddly this is the first time I've ever seen the video.

Ugh. The story of David and Goliath is as factual as the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.

So "Castle" doesn't even warrant "What Else is On?" coverage.  How dare you sir.
