What do these artists have in common?

[Arkansas]

So what's the answer?

yeah, whatsup? they all have really short bass players that sing?

Nope- that's only four of them- not sure about the other two...they're all still only relevant in Japan? That's my guess...

[ProgRocker53]

All of these bands have released new albums within the past year or two that have been a creative risk, a new direction, an updated feel, and artistic step forward for them.

Most of these bands failed to be relevant in the public's eye at all after the early 90s came and passed. Did that stop them from moving forward and tackling something new, something different from what they had done before? Nope.

All of these bands released what are possibly some of their best works this late into their career that will likely be looked back on as some of their finest music. A lot of Toto fans I have talked to seem to agree that Falling in Between is their best album, period.

They are unlike Journey in that very way. Instead of progressing forward in a new direction with a new singer and scaling new heights, Journey has resigned to perform their hit singles to a nostalgia audience. Great move, guys.

That is my point! Shocked nobody else saw the similarities.

I didn't think Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell III was any huge risk or new diection...however the tour he undertook to promote it sounded incredible. Playing all 3 CDs...now THAT is how you stand behind your new material.

I took the wife to see him in Cleveland. He did play material from all 3, nowhere near in their entirety though if that's the impression you had. Good show though. Couple nice pieces of eyecandy on stage didn't hurt.

Kip Winger - Only ballerina rock singer. Total Fag. He's proud of that Ballet training too.

I am pretty sure that "fag" has nailed more tail than you ever will...

[chf34jmac]

Oh yeah and your total pussy count is the true measure of a man right?

[jrnyman28]

Usual defines the term "fag" though...

[chf34jmac]

Um no actually I believe the textbook definition of a "Fag" is British for a cigarette or American slang for a person of homosexual orientation. I don't remember webster referencing pussy count in any of it's definitions. I'm just saying.

[jrnyman28]

So tell me, does Kip smoke?!

[MrsPerry]

* Their guitar players havent gone through as many divorces as Neal?

* They were all smart enough not to have Neal as a member?

Humor me here, how many times has Neal been divorced?

[chf34jmac]

If I'm not mistaken I believe he's on divorce #5

I think you should throw financial comparisons in there too when defining success. I mean, if possible at all, take all of these band's separate incomes and then let everyone decide who is doing what is right. Most of us wanted Journey to take a new musical direction, however, the bucks don't lie. If they are indeed making tons of jack off of the catalogue, then I really don't blame them for doing what they are doing.

Life is short. Make enough money that your grandkids will enjoy it too. Business is business. Being a band doesn't make you any less of a company than any of other board of directors.

Should GM start building motorcycles or airplanes? No. They're good at trucks.

Chief, I think if you went to a Winger show, you'd be begging to drink the sweat strained out of Kip's spandex banana hammock.

Humanity Hour 1 is a prime example, I think this is one of the best albums the Scorpions have done.

That is a great album for sure!

[Journey69]

I have zero use for Rush or that fat slob Meat loaf. I wouldn't see either one if they were playing in my basement. In fact, I'd call the police. And not the police with Sting, either.

For slamming Rush in this manner, you should have your scrotum peeled off with a dull butter knife and your still-connected testicles used as ping pong balls.

Damn ! Where is the popcorn emote?

[Journey69]

They're all on this list?

I saw them something like 2 months ago.They're still going strong as ever.Meine's pipes impressed me,as well as the tightness of the band.
I don't care what kind of an abracadabra is Meine using on stage (he has a special custom made mic and stuff like that) fact is that he can deliver flawlessly for almost 2 hours.
I have some pics uploaded on my Myspace.It was an awesome show.

Holy shit, you don't know George Lopez? He's one of my favorite comedians. Here's a bunch of clips from one of his shows.

Peace&Music, all
