Just wanted to say that picking up Adam Willard as their drummer was an awesome choice. He rocks.

I'll say it…"Put 'Em On The Glass" is Sir Mix A Lot's masterpiece.

I won't lie…this new single is pretty good. I mean, they're never going to recapture what they had circa Puppets or Ride the Lightning, those days are long gone, but this sounds like they are having fun, and just trying to lay down some thrash riffs. Death Magnetic felt way too much like they were trying too hard to

Sorry…but David Cross is a dog-fucker.

Honestly, the only post-YHF album I got back to is the live one. It really hits hard, and does a great job of representing what the Nels Cline/Pat Sansone era of Wilco is capable of. It's a really great band, but the studio records have been a little light for me.

I know these are intended to be short overviews, but you really can't underestimate what Jay Bennett added to Wilco, starting with this record.

I'll always remember him for his portrayal of Krusty The Klown in "The Krusty The Klown Story: Booze, Drugs, Guns, Lies, Blackmail and Laughter".

I think Dean Deleo really flies under a lot of people's radars. He was, in my opinion, one of the most adventurous guitarists of that era. Where guys like Mike McCready were essentially doing their best SRV/Ace Frehley blues licks, Deleo was doing some absolutely masterful layering.

Considering the solo in Alive basically quotes Ace's solo in Kiss' "100,000 Years", that isn't a wholly inaccurate statement. McCready is a good player, though not all that groundbreaking. He's an SRV fanatic, which is really the worst thing you can be as a guitar player, except maybe being a Clapton fanatic.

Frances and Al Jourgenson's daughter should start a club. They seem to have the same skills for questionable choices in significant others.

Man, the intro to the song above had so much promise. Then BANG, slappy slap bass garbage and Anthony being Anthony.

RIP Ass Dan.

Nice! I grew up in Bourne, and at that time, most likely made it to that Newbury comics because my mom was going to the mall or something to that effect, because that would be been around 1991 or 2, which would have made me 14 or 15 at the time.

A defining musical moment in the life of young Maritime Pilot was a) seeing the Hurdy Gurdy Man video on 120 minutes, and having my mind blown by the fuzzy delirium of the guitar solo, and b) going to Newbury Comics in Hyannis, Ma (I was a Cape Cod kid…no getting to Boston for another year or so…) to get the Pioghed

It's a love affair. Mainly you, me, and Gibby's vocal on Jesus Built My Hotrod.

I can't imagine that a guy who wrote a song with the chorus "I want to party on your pussy" would ever do something like that.

John played on Mother's Milk, so…sorry?
