110 users online. Everyone loves a good fight.

So, while so many are reading, may I take this moment to plug the new Rick Springfield release Venus In Overdrive. Take note the Angelmilk Records version is a regular jewel case and adds the rocking bonus track Who Killed Rock N Roll.

RELEASED NEXT WEEK FOLKS.

Ok. now where were we?

Don't worry Andrew. I'm buying it here Tuesday morning.

I don't even own a Rick Springfield CD and I'm buying this one! And not because he's a major hunk, either.

Do you remember the music? It's not about numbers. It's not about who's most popular or who's the best looking. It's about the way the music rocks your fucking soul. The way you wake up with a song in your head and you can't get it out all day. The way the volume knob on the stereo just doesn't seem to go up high enough. Or you can't sing loud enough. It's all about what it makes you feel in your heart. Jeff Scott Soto does that for me - and apparently he does it for quite a few of us.

POST OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!

AMEN!!!!

Pity the rest of the post was just another heated rambling from yet another JSS fan (likely female with I love JSS/JSS Rocks or God forbid the prerequisite 'Me and JSS' picture in their avatar) punching keys two forums above their weight. It's not as much about the music as some peoples need to defend 'their man' against any form of criticism. Its getting really old fast as pretty much every interesting topic inevitably turns into a thread about JSS which then seems to turn everything sour.

Now I like JSS and DO think some of the criticism is often unnecessary and repeated ad nauseam. Its just that everything is getting to be very predictable and I'm no Nostradamus!

Hey, I took that picture! I may not be Ansel Adams, but I thought it turned out rather well. As for my avatar, it's the best picture I've taken in 51 years (sad, I know) so I am darn well gonna use it as my avatar! In fact, when I need a pic where it needs to be just me, I crop Jeff out!

There are some pretty gorgeous ladies running around here with SA in their avatar, too!

In defense of the ladies with JSS in their avitar, why is this a problem for you? We choose what we want for our avitar as a personal thing. I never seen JSS in concert so I remain neutral where he is concerned. But I really think it is funny how people are attacked for likeing the musician they like. Isn't music a personal choice of expression? I say ignore it ladies, the avitars are nice!

So it means I must hate Perry now because I got old SA over in my avatar...
I agree with artist... who gives a shit what's in a person's avatar. Its relative to nothing. How about next week I'll have Steve Perry punching a kitten (for those of you following the Sony Fight in the other thread). So there.

Actually I probably can! Will have to be later on, as I'm presently and unhappily away from my photoshop. But that should be easy.

BJG, Does Steve have a little a tan going on there, or were you brushing a smudge off of his belt buckle?

Well, you got to admit, he looks like very pleased about something.

I promise you my hand was nowhere near his belt buckle.

But thanks for bringing up his tan and drawing attention to the seriously lily-white girl next to him.

Nothing about that picture is photoshopped and I wasn't touching his crank.

Behave, people.

Please do not continue to argue your point as I will not be swayed 0.0000000001% in my opinion on this subject.

Agreed, I don't care how many times you state your "stats" it will never change my opinion either. Units sold have absolutely NO baring on how I choose my music, never have and never will.

I don't know Deb - All those 'Rick Rolling' YouTube links to Eric Martin have started to have an affect on me and I am actually starting to dig some of his music! I blame the sheer number of times I got duped into link clicking!

See Andrew, EM's got fans here. How about an all things EM/TMG/Mr. Big type forum....maybe one of the dead forums below.

Heck, I don't care if I'm playing by myself. I'll load that sucker up with tunes and video!

Don't you already do enough playing by yourself when it comes to EM?

Hey, once ya go Mr Big.....

[Tomulator]

Oh so now Andrew deleted it. Funny how you mentioned Jeff said this in TWO different occasions. So I guess BOTH threads got deleted.....
Yes. I am calling you a liar, because you lie. Pretty simple.

All I needed to hear.

It may be all you NEEDED to hear, but rest assured you will hear more if you dont shut your mouth.

You could never shut my mouth...least of all in person. Remember that.

Another badass hiding behind a monitor and keyboard.

yeah ............sure he is ..........

I just find it funny that someone would feel threatened to the point where they would go to the trouble to puff out there chest and claim that someone else who they have probably never met could not "shut their mouth". You never know when the next person that you talk all big and bad to is going to be the one that will leave you walking around with your jaw wired shut. But I guess you can claim anything you want from behind the safety of your 19" flat panel. It is the nature of the "High Noon" playground that is the internet.

I guess you haven't been around long enough to see the famous Deano then? Dude, come on, in one thread we have tits and dicks..you mean you REALLY need to tell me you are bothered about an message board argument? This shit happens on here EVEEEERYYDAYY. This is one of the most entertaining threads in awhile. In one corner we have Behshad dry-humping the words of Jeff Scott Soto, telling Dan to shut the fuck up or else.. a "certified rock god" defending himself on the ropes because of what a fan said... and everyone else who follows that talks to JSS like he's 12 years old. (Get 'em Jeff, believe in yourself! ([cue Full House piano.)]

Both sides have valid points. Dan is right. It IS annoying how people talk about Soto. I think people react that way because they know he'll read their posts and feel "apart of the group." Whatever, it's annoying. The same annoying when you go over your girlfriend/boyfriends house and the gf/bf leaves you with their little brother for a minute then all that little brother talks about is how he is going to wrestle you ALL NIGHT LONG. That annoying.

And JSS fans are right. They have EVERY RIGHT to believe and stand proud of their favorite musician. Shit, that's why people are here, to express stuff like that. Behshad said it best in his post. Does it really matter to ANYONE what that person likes? No.

JSS looks like a douche though. Does he REALLY need to come to the defense of himself? Come on now. If he was the professional and best in the business like people say he is, then he wouldn't call people over the internet fucktwits and argue with a fan. The fans are supposed to decide that.

That's what makes this thread so highly entertaining to actual see the fire that's being typed from every keyboard. Keep it up Ladies and Gentleman! Melodicrock.com never dissapoints.

I sure miss ol deano!

Where did he go, btw?????

I missed all that. What happened???

El Deano has been gone for couple of months now, where have YOU been ? lol
He is back in action at http://whatthefuck.forums1.net/index.htm ..... and this time he has no mercy!!! (like he ever did )

Knew he was gone.

Just didn't know WHY.
