I'd rather hear Eddie Van Halen shred on the slippery and NJ songs, that would be an 80's dream come true. All they would need then is a triumphant video.

Lol, nice.
I'm not a big fan of either band, but I like a handful of songs from both, so I was considering going if they came my way.
Might have to think again, lol.
#423 Re: The Sunset Strip » STONE TEMPLE PILOTS return with CHESTER BENNINGTON as their FRONTMAN! » 630 weeks ago
^^I saw him with STP in Jersey back in '01, and he blew me away too. They were headlining the Family Values Tour, saw them shortly after 9/11 and they played the best cover of Revolution by the Beatles, dedicated to the recent event. It's was pretty moving.
Real shame what's happened with him.

Thanks to the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty, fans are getting more bang for their buck this summer tour season. Or should we say, thanks to their agents.
Goo Goo Dolls bassist Robby Takac told Radio.com that the joint tour between the two bands was set up by the higher-ups.
“I think the agents looked at it and said, ‘Why haven’t we done this yet? This makes sense, we should do this!’” he said with a laugh.
Even though both bands have been around since the ’90s, Johnny Reznick said the two have rarely crossed paths, but he was more than happy to team up with Rob Thomas and the guys for a summer tour.
“By the end of the ’90s was probably when the both of our bands were at their most popular,” he explained. “You know, we’re both putting albums out and we’re still on the radio… It’s so rare to see any band that’s put out ten studio albums [and] has been blessed for 16 years to truly have a real career and make a living with this.”
As for whether the Goo Goo Dolls, whose new album Magnetic comes out June 11, will be jamming with Matchbox Twenty, fans shouldn’t hold their collective breath. The guys said they shy away from joining fellow bands on stage. That is, unless they can dress up in some funny costumes.
“We have run around in animal costumes while another band was playing,” Takac said. “Not too much jamming, though.”
The Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty summer tour kicks off June 25 in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Eh I honestly cant see Jon saying something like that.. That's a bit overboard.
I can believe it. Anyone and everyone is capable of saying something fucked up, that they wouldn't otherwise saw, when they are angry or suffering from grief. Jon's daughter almost OD'd, he could very well have been holding on to allot of anger and taking it out on others.
But, this article comes from a gossip website and it uses unnamed sources, so it very well maybe bullshit.

Word. Its funny that I'm willing to accept different gnr lineups but Jon Bon Jovi using Bon Jovi without Richie? Nah. Get a new name.
Lol, you know, I felt exactly the same way at first, but now I think I might be able to get over it.
If nothing else, I'm very interested to see what happens if they try and move on without Richie. Will they bring in Desmond Child to fill in for Richie's co-writing? Will David Bryan contribute more as a song writer? Will they bring in a new guitarist to help write guitar songs, or will new songs be more piano based? Will they replace Richie, or bring someone in as an unofficial member? Will new songs sound like Jon's solo tracks, or will they still sound similar to previous Bon Jovi albums? I'm dyin' to find out.
Bottom line, if they come out with new music without Richie, I'll give it a listen, if I like it I don't really care what they call themselves. They can call themselves the Jersey Shore OG's for all I care.
#426 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Thread. » 630 weeks ago
Superman Returns is a good movie in terms of special effects and Kevin Spacey makes a great Lex.
I hated Spacey as Lex, I hate Spacey. I just hate his face, he's got one of those faces you just want to punch for no reason. There was allot wrong with the movie, but Spacey as Lex is what ruined it for me. 
But also, I was annoyed they Used Lex as the villain again. He was already used in 3 films before it, it's not like Superman doesn't have other villains. I wanted to see Brainiac, or Doomsday, or the Parasite, hell I'd even take Mr. Mxyzptlk over another Luthor flick.
Definitely better than the crap that is III and IV. Those movies are unwatchable. Despite Reeves intentions for IV.
I actually like 3. Richard Pryor was halarious, and it was cool seeing Clark back in Smallville, Lana was hot. 4 was my favorite when I was a kid, because I thought nuclear man was bad ass. While I don't argue that it was a crap movie, I have a soft spot for it.
#427 Re: The Sunset Strip » Queen's of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork Live » 630 weeks ago
Not to deep, but there are a few stoner rock bands I like; Baroness, Moon Duo, and Torche. Torche I just got into last year because they had just come out with an awesome album, Harmonicraft.
Totally interested if you can recommend any more.
#428 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Thread. » 630 weeks ago
Hey man, it's Superman, I'll watch it. I didn't care for Superman Returns that much but still went to see it twice.
As for Hulk, I actually liked both stand alone movies, but agree avengers was the best. Nothing beats Hulk smashing the "puny god".

Same here, bro. I'm especially excited with Dave Grohl back on drums for this one.
