Maybe he was in need of a cheeseburger?

Decent compilation of a few notable Def Lep (Steve, Pete and Phil) solos from 80-87.

He’s fine in the studio. Live it’s just a mixed bag of wanna be shredder nonsense.

He definitely is not part of the "David Gilmour school of soloing".

I don't remember which comedian said this but he described seeing Iggy Pop in concert and all he could think of was that he literally looked like he was made of wet leather!

At a certain age, even if you are in shape, you don't look good with your shirt off. Iggy Pop is definitely there already, and Collen is closing in on it.

I would argue that Elizabeth Hurley, Salma Hayek and Halle Berry are NOT there yet.

Joe Elliot from Def Leppard recently did some guest vocals on a new track from Ghost. For those that don't know, Ghost is actually POP type rock with guitar solos.

"Spillways" featuring Joe Elliot

AP, I saw Ghost when they opened for Iron Maiden back in 2017 at the Isleta Amphitheatre in Albuquerque and musically they were'nt that bad but their stage masks and costumes were just plain weird!
