I vote for a "Power Ballads" night in the Canteen! All in favor? : )
I like it alot too. If you want to get depressed about lost love, listen to the Stone's Memory Motel from 1976's Black and Blue album!!
That's probably why most of them got into bands in the first place.
30-40?
I can't help it...I grew up saving every dollar I made for a concert to these bands and a T-shirt
37 here. I remember "camping out" in front of the mall all night waiting in line for concert tickets. Partying, underage drinking and bong hits always ensued and the cops pretty much left everyone alone. Often camping out for the tickets could be more fun than the concert itself! A $20 bill paid for a 12 pack of beer, the concert ticket and then breakfast at McDonald's later that morning.
What kids miss out on these days!
I saw them in 2000...and they STILL rocked!
Did you know CC's a Republican?
So is Meat Loaf, since someone brought him up.
I think you nailed the reason perfectly!
The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses" is one my favorite songs in general. It's just one of those songs that's hard to explain to others why you like it so much :)
It's hard to see the Stones as anything other than a parody of themselves these days, but when the history of this era is written I think it will be said that Mick Jagger knew how to sing a song. Besides being a very good blues singer, he had the ability to put himself in a character while singing and this emotion/feeling call it what you will translated very well through the recording process. The whole phenomenon might be roughly equated to what an opera singer does, not in a technical voice sense but in a sense where there is a sort of a coming together of both acting and singing in a way that gets under the skin of the listener.
No question you hear this in Wild Horses as well as many other of their better songs.
I!
Who was it?
Bret Michaels is one of the few singers from that era that has managed to not ruin his voice and still sounds as crisp and clear as he did in '88.
"One Thing Leads To Another" !! LOL! :)
Oh he!! yeah! Eddie rocked!
This is sad,
Half of them I don't recognize,
and those that I do I don't like....
Wait,
maybe that as good thing!
Hey sweetness..what ya got going on today?
lol- what a list!
Where's 'Fly to the Angels' by Slaughter?
Or 'Feel it Again' by Homeymoon Suite?
Those songs on that list lick the wank.
Some of the more recent Stones stuff is still damn good.
