However, I have it, plus several other whole albums on one mp3 cd I play on my drive to work. As I parked this morning, For Those About To Rock came on. Needless to say, I walked in to work on time, but barely.
All of the songs sound exactly the same.
Being a big Rush and Van Halen fan I have difficulties with their actions and choices later in their careers song and touring wise. I always wind up with Van Halen on my i-pod from any era because the music is timeless...even the Hagar and Cherone stuff is still very listenable to me. Rush is another story. 1978-1990 is easily their best period of work and yet I hear fans all of the time telling me how their latest record is always the new “Moving Pictures” or “Signals” or “Permanent Waves”...yeah yadda yadda right...never happens not even close. Rush has changed their formula so many times its ridiculous. But they are given credit with doing that. However, it is commercially not accepted and that is the truth. You look at how their records sold even 10 years ago when an album would certainly go Gold. So many of the hardcore fans that stuck with the band in hopes of them turning something incredible out like they used to basically gave up and downloaded what they wanted to hear.
Guns n Roses was easily the biggest band on Earth along with U2 until 1991 when Metallica’s black album came out and they took over with Nirvana in 1992. Without that original line up or something close to it...zip will be on the menu for Axl.
