    We saw VH back in '98 with that 3rd singer they very briefly had, Gary Cherone, from Extreme, and I swear to you all that the there was hardly noone there! The ampitheater was so empty that they could have just closed the grass bank and easily fit everybody there up under the shelter part of it.

    As for DLR's songwriting abilities, well, they did do a lot of cover tunes back then. You Really Got Me, You're No Good, Dancin' In The Streets, Pretty Woman, Happy Trials, etc.

    They did cover tunes. And they did them greatly. Because they made them their own. And they wore their influences on their sleeves. Which is fun and good.

    But DLR is a very good songwriter. From... I just tried to make a list of great DLR songs, from "Atomic Punk" to... "Hot For Teacher" to... "Hina" to... "Lose The Dress (Keep The Shoes)"... He writes great rock and roll lyrics, man. He's got a style and swagger to him that lends these simple songs some heft.

    Very akin to the early AC/DC stuff. It's simple as all get out. SIMPLE. But it's pretty smart stuff. With a couple exceptions of just his own sheer silliness (DLR is the same way), Bon Scott also wrote some kick **** rock and roll lyrics.

    Yeah he wrote the lyrics to 1984 while drivin his rod around the hills of Hollywood.

    He was obviously very influenced as a front man by Paul Stanley and the guy From Black Oak Arkansas whose name I can't recall offhand, as DLR was like a cross between those two.

    Right. Just like you can't beat a song with a title like "Shot Down In Flames," you can't beat a song with a title like "Lose The Dress (Keep The Shoes)."

    I could prolly come up with eight more examples of this using just AC/DC and DLR. :D

    That guy in Cinderella was the biggest Tyler rip off. Also that guy in Faster Pussycat as he even used scarves on his mike stand.

    1. Black Oak Arkansas: "Big Jim Dandy" Mangrum was the singer. [Whoops! Sorry Jcaut, we posted at the same time.] But Tommy Aldridge was the drummer -- that's the real key to BOA. Tommy Aldridge went on to The Blizzard of Oz.

    2. You all are turning my angry hateful thread into a love fest. I'm going to have to rethink this thread. In the meantime, go discuss frontmen in the goddamn frontmen thread so I can get back to the business of being angry and hateful here! :mad:

    DLR got the spandex from him and the karate kicks and cheerleader splits from Paul Stanley.

    Dude, I used to live about 35 miles from Black Oak, Ar. Freaky, spooky, EVIL little town and county for that matter. When you would cross over the county line, say on a bridge or something, there would be all kinds of satanic graffiti. Every once in a while there'd be an animal hanging from a tree.

    I drove thru Black Oak on my way to Jonesboro one summer, on a Saturday afternoon, beautiful day...........not a single freakin' person to be seen anywhere.. I mean straight out of Children of the Corn. Spooked my ****. I was praying that my truck didn't breakdown,,run out of gas, had a flat..... REALLY FREAKY ****!!!!

    Sounds like Wrong Turn. That movie sucked. I knew how it ended by looking at the back of the DVD box.

    "Prosecutors have said a state psychologist already determined Lafave was not insane, while one hired by the defence concluded that she was mentally ill."

    Think she did her magic to the psychologist?

    More importantly...

    "The boy told investigators he and the teacher had sex in a classroom, her house and once in a vehicle while his 15-year-old cousin drove. He said Lafave told him her marriage was in trouble and that she was aroused by the fact that having sex with him was not allowed."

    Did he get an 'A' in the class?

    Hey MC:

    Please tell me you're not one of those people who **** about US employment moving overseas and then goes to Walmart... I hate those morons...

    Other than that, continue with this enlightening conversation!

    BTW: AC/DC is far more Angus than Bon but whatever... ;)

    Did I **** about this? I did not. I have no problem with American unions **** their constituents by outpricing them from the competitive job market, forcing companies to go to China to find ways to build products that can be reasonably priced and then whining about it. In fact, as bad as I feel about Americans "losing jobs to cheap overseas labor," I blame unions for making ultimately unrealistic demands on US manufacturers. I'm all for workers' rights, but when you make unrealistic demands you make your own bed.

    And what the heck else is the third world for, if not to serve us, the first world? I mean, I think that this is why they keep having more and more children, so they can make more and more stuff for us, cheap.

    I think that Walmart is awful merely because I am repelled by the people you see in there, you know? It's a freak show. You don't see those people in Macy's, you know? I don't care that they don't give their employees benefits or anything. At least they give them jobs. I drive thru bad parts of Baltimore and see plenty of people standing around doing nothing while "Help Wanted" signs abound. So, who can figure these people out? The jobs are at Walmart. Good for them!

    MC

    Oh, and Angus is not the heart and soul of AC/DC. Maybe he's the heart, but he's not the soul. How do I know? Because when Bon Scott died, AC/DC's music took a dive downward in quality. Bon was the soul of AC/DC. I'll let Angus be the heart, okay?

    Greek babes and Greek food are both on top of their respective pyramids.

    Cretan babes are at the top of the Greek babe pyramid.

    Crete is in full swing right now. Most of the European babes are there on vacation walking around in various stages of undress. Then along comes some Cretan honey fully dressed on the way to the market, and puts them all to shame.

    On the Walmart thing, I was just checking, not making accusations. Gotta agree with you on the unions. I mean $18-27 for scanning groceries? $25+ for driving a forlift? Come on!

    Just dealt with an offshore move. The Union went on strike and wanted more money, the company had already been planning to move oversees. This just sped up the process.

    On the AC/DC: If Angus had died and Bon had stayed on, AC/DC would have been far worse than the current situation. IMHO
