@symeew13 Led Zeppelin weren’t together. Bon Jovi hadn’t even released their first album yet.

Singer songwriter, Nick Gilder, has issued the following statement about his massive single, Hot Child In The City: “It’s come to my attention that some Gen Z and some Gen xers misunderstand the use of the word child in a song. This was a common usage in classic rock if you google it you will see a long list of songs using it, its wasn't about small children. It was used in the sense of free spirited and freedom and inclusiveness in a broader sense… children of the sun. When I wrote Hot child in the City, I was in Los Angeles and in Hollywood there were many young people etc. that had gone there to pursue a dream of stardom or simply to find themselves… some did find that dream for others it was more of a life lesson but that's what make life interesting… is to go after your dreams. I, in some convoluted way, probably indentified with the character because that's what I was doing there, and there were dangers at some level for all who did, but if you don't try you don't get!”

@StuntmanStu Every time I’ve gone to the States, ordered a Dunkin Donuts coffee and expected it to be comparable to Tim’s, I’ve been disappointed.

Is Dunkin Donuts really better than Tim’s? Or is it because Tim’s is so bad we’re just looking for a better option? We had them when I grew up but things have changed. Genuinely curious.

@HairMtlMessiah Edge is awesome. He tone and style is unique. You know it’s him as soon as you hear him. I can’t call anyone overrated. Anyone you’ve heard of is way better than me.

@mitchlafon Simple. Vince can’t sing anymore. He should be showing these young contestants how it’s done, but he doesn’t even sound qualified to compete with them.

Seeing a lot of negative comments about Mötley Crüe being on American Idol last night… why? ROCK was on National TV - In front of a whole new generation of fans. Why is that bad? Isn’t this how we quiet the ‘rock is dead’ crowd?

@HairMtlMessiah 83 may have been more influential, setting the direction with albums like Pyro, Shout, Mental Health. 87 was a bigger year though, with Appetite, Hysteria, Whitesnake, etc.

@sammyhagar @VanHalen If Sammy could just say thank you Van Halen bros for saving his career of playing state fairs and shitty casinos that would be appreciated and then never bring Van Halen up again.

@NikkiSixx Sixx Sense was great when you were talking to other musicians. Not sure how it would work if you were doing something else.

For years after SIxx Sense I’ve been asked to do a podcast. What’s your thoughts? It would not be a rock music show. Have to cover way for ground. Thoughts ?

I would take out Van Halen (he was just a technician incapable of melodic or soulful playing) and fill the last two with Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. It is interesting to note that since he spoke out against covid restrictions, the word has gone out that Eric Clapton should no longer be mentioned in any discussions of great guitarists.
