Sammy Hagar had a fairly successful solo career after Montrose before he took the Van Halen gig.

You'd prefer the Stairway to Heaven? I think I'd take ny chances with whatever was known in the lift.

Ah yes. The best article title ever

If I remember correctly, the Carnage 12" has the extended remix of War on the b side. This makes it a contender for the best 12" of the 80s.

I was noticing that more and more towards the end. In one of the last ones I read he was what we Scots would call "blootered" for a good portion of the book.

Jeepers I'm all over the place. I thought it went Sea Change, Guero, Modern Guilt. There's no excuse for this, it's not as though it was 20 years ago or something.

Is it any good? The cover looks like it would be a Beck album that I'd like, but I drifted away after Modern Guilt.

Beth by Kiss and Lonely This Christmas by Mud (I'm nor even sure the ventriloquist's Dummy was a member of the band).

Yup, 75. Just found out that there are also some 28 short stories, but let's pretend we didn't know that. *taps nose*

That's a good one. I'm halfway through Maigret and the Tall Woman. Six to go after this. I can see the finish line at the Brasserie Dauphine.

Who remembers running away from the ref on FIFA? 😂

The 1983 Temple of Love EP for me. At least we agree on the year! It's the only one of the original EPs that has a clear production, and TOL is their best song. I love Lights and Burn on Reptile House, but the other ones are just ok for me. Even the 1983 radio session is the best one!

Today's listening. I suppose like most Sisters fans, I prefer the original, but I do love this version as well, the extended version is a beast. Of course I have the CD Box with the postcards. #sistersofmercy

I think since 2011. Was definitely there for the 52 shows, but might have been listening before then. Let's just say 2011 though, I don't want to steal any credit. Joined the forum but didn't post much.

Looks nice. Does it actually taste of strawberry or just smell like it should? I've usually found fruit teas make better air fresheners than beverages.
