@Shawn. Lol. You beat me to it. I was going to put the over/under for Thanksgiving. 😂😂😂. I'm in Cleveland right now. Just did the Rock and Roll HOF. Pretty freaking awesome. if you ever get the chance, do it. I also voted for Motley as the most deserving band not yet in it. Surprise, they were leading the voting by almost 1000 votes for the top 100 not yet enshrined Plenty of us out there 😂😂. 🤘🤘

Can't wait for the CMS to handle this ongoing no show saga. What about all those box sets he promised??What a dick that Vickie is.

interesting.
vinnie has been quietly added to the “days of the dead” con in dallas in october. think i’ll take my chances there to have him no-show instead.

@Gary I envy you - I do want to visit that place one day...

@Shawn. Do it for all the guitars that are on display alone. You’ll be glad ya did 👍

Well, Stu, if Days of the Dead is related to Halloween, which it sounds like it is, given the event’s title and timing in October, Vincent is certainly already in costume for it as an elderly Elizabeth Taylor.

Or, wait a minute, more accurately, a Joan Collins impersonator. “Impersonator” being a term that was widely used in the 60’s and 70’s before “drag queen” replaced it, not that I have anything against them.

Nevertheless, I hope he shows and cranks up the tunes. What a killer guitarist he was in his day. I just wonder if he can deliver a blistering solo anymore. Certainly, he’s not the Speedball Jammer he once was.

And Gary and Shawn, I’m with ya! Been meaning to go to The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for years, not only for the exhibits but for the I.M. Pei designed building it calls home. Now that it’s less than a 2 hour flight from where I just relocated, I’m ready!

Also, Gary, with ya (and apparently a lot of other people) 110% as well that Crüe should be inducted immediately! Just imagine that show with them playing live!

Epic!

And even more so if they had Corabi as part of it, as well, even crazier having him perform “Hooligan’s Holiday”, though it would probably NEVER happen due to Vince Neil’s stature ... in the band and just which members the TRaRHoF would permit to be inducted, similar to how they confined KISS to just the four original members only.

Oh yeah MB, that self titled cd sold millions! I still recall the deep lines at all Tower Records across the country, standing in line to purchase this dynamic blockbuster. Im sure diehard Crueheads like myself would be so concerned with where Corabi is. What has he done since? Asking for a friend. No, i doubt theyll even consider inviting a homeless guy up with them. Especially since 0 of those songs on the self titled cd are listened to by anyone these days, thats not a true diehard fan. When was the last time you heard fucking Hooligan's Holiday played at a sporting event? If we're inviting that scuzz bucket we also need to extend Samantha Maloney an invite! Lol
September 6, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBkallday
Hmmm, BK. I guess that means Samantha Maloney is one of the friends who can’t come Neil was singing about.

Look, man, I only mention Corabi because he’s the very first guy Mars went into the studio with after Crüe retired.

And, again, it’s not about number of albums sold, man, it’s about artistic integrity. The self-titled “Hooligan’s Holiday” album happens to be Mars’ favorite of all the Crüe records.

I guess I can't help myself. Check out the three posts above this one. Metalboy! agrees with Gary and adds a sorta' 'wish list' idea (which he acknowledges is not going to happen). Just an opinion, right? Bkallday responds with his typical aplomb. Metalboy! offers a rejoinder. Then silence. I have said this time and again, if you poke Bkallday the wrong way his 'live and let live' approach just falls to pieces. But if you tickle his frail ego, he might throw a metal horn or two your way.

I wouldn't bring this up--after all, I am more a reader than a poster these days--if not for the fact that Bkallday very recently posted this nugget of clear-headed thinking:

"Worrying about what others do is a huge pet peeve of mine. I think we should all just do ourselves and not worry with what anyone else is doing, unless it is negatively affecting your quality of life(and its been proven to do just that). For example, im a carnivore, but i don't think everyone has to be one. I love thrash metal but if you don't like thrash metal, and you prefer country, all the more power to ya! People are waaaaaay too worried about everyone else in 2019. I think European ppl should bathe more and shave more(esp under their arms lol). I think they should pay more attention to listening to the dentist but im fine with them doing them, and hope they are fine with the way i choose to live my life. People need to stay in their own lanes and not worry about everyone else!"

Take that above comment, quoted verbatim, and compare it to the ebbs and flows in Bkallday's posting history. Thing is, I agree with the quotation (putting aside some slippage in the overall train of thought). But I can't really say for sure if Bkallday does. I'd like to think so. Again, this is one of the reasons I don't post here much anymore. At least, when I post, I try to offer something up beyond OMG LOL (yes, that is a reference). I also respond to responses that contradict me, prove me wrong, or challenge my opinion. Consistently. I guess I am baiting a hook that I don't really want to lure in. So let me do this. No reply necessary. As I will not reply back. But at least I am being clear about my motives.

Back to the initial post:

(1) VV is a shattered soul who duped fans who loved him. On this one, I think Simmons is right. He is one for three right now, if I am counting correctly. But he has a history of letting people down, no less himself. And when he does that, who does he blame? Anyone but himself. Hmm. Purchasing a ticket to an event involving him is like purchasing a lottery ticket. But what do you really win if they call your numbers?

(2) I concur with other posters. I have said on several occasions that the only thing interesting or enjoyable about the RaRHoF is the museum. It is certainly worth the price of admission.

Now back to my bomb-shelter. OMG LOL, right? Try the veal.

Wow, the boring ass kisser is back. Nice to have a stalker! Hey HIM, ead! Me & this lame peon couldn’t be more polar opposites, & he’s been passively aggressively trying to chase me off this site for a long time now. Not gonna work!

Btw, the post before my post was about Motley Crue’s self titled cd, was it not? Was I not giving my opinion about what was posted? Or was I bringing up something completely different, that no one was even discussing, so I can then start to attack ppl? No, I wasn’t, I was merely giving my honest opinion of what was said before me. This idiot has no clue what “stay in your lane” means, obviously. Again, my OPINION of what was being discussed. This putz gets triggered so gd much, I know his type & I figured he wouldn’t respond back, that’s how his kind rolls. Hey HIM 🖕🏼& you can keep off this site, for all I care. There are plenty of political sites out there for ya, that you would be much more suited for. Just curious, did you play any sports in high school? And no, soccer doesn’t count. Oh nm, that’s right, you aren’t gonna respond. 🙄

For the record, I don’t like attacking others like this but when someone starts it, I will be the one to finish it!
