This is a great video… Thank you… Sometimes I think perhaps his death should have been investigated

My take on this is the band is entitled to keep going if they want, but as a fan if we feel that the band doesn't sound good anymore, just don't go to the shows or buy the albums...the only real issue I have is when the big bands that have plenty of money, if they can't put on a good on a good show anymore and don't sound very good anymore, they could at least try to keep the ticket prices reasonable, but hey that's just my opinion...enjoyed watching u guys as always....take care and Rock On🤘

Okay Bryon answered his own question when he asked, "Who are you to tell somebody not to keep going when they are making money?" You said when people stop going to the show, it's time to hang it up. We live in a time now where we express our opinions online like we are doing right now. We do have the right to say these things when we are concerned and they have a right to hear these opinions to help them make that decision.

Scorpions still kick butt in 2024. Klaus(Singer) just had spine-back surgery earlier this year and he is still out there playing 95 minute shows and playing 50 shows a year in arenas and stadiums all around the world. Yes he can't hit all the high notes from the 1980s but still sounds amazing in concert.

I’m not going to any of these shows.‘I’m going to to hold onto the memories from back in the day and spin the record instead

Im glad I saw lot of these classic bands in their prime in the 80s and have no interest in going to see them live today.

Great Topic! Glam and Hair Metal have been a prominent part of my life since I was about 13, unfortunately tho I was born about 10 years too late to see the spectacle in its prime. With that being said, some bands I've made a point of seeing regardless of how they might sound and in the case of some of the smaller bands like Bulletboys, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, L.A. Guns etc... the chance to grab an autograph, shake hands and shoot the shit for a few min with the band is more then worth them not sounding 100% at least for me. Where it stupid imo is a situation like Crue, it's the same B.S. every fee months. They play a show, Vince sounds like shit, the fans call him out on it and then Nikki makes some dumb comment attacking the fans trying to defend Vince.

F# Canada thanks I’m thick skinned I can take it wasp debut I love can’t wait to see them play it in Van oct 30, shout out to lee Aaron and helix

So happy I found this channel… I saw Warrant last week here on Long Island.. the brought back so many memories... I forgot how much I love Jani back then.. So I'm researching all about him now.. My heart hurts even more, but I appreciate all you have shared.

When twisted sister covered leader of the pack it was over too bad cause they backed up iron maiden just before and killed it

Lots of people have good voices. It takes far, far more than that to reach the top of one of the most competitive industries there has ever been. The two of you do not, cannot and will not understand the demands of the business and what it takes to attain what these men have attained. That you somehow seem to think they reached the level they did and then accomplished the significantly harder task of remaining at the top in an ultra-competitive field despite not having any marketable skills shows just how out of your depth you are. Perhaps you're capable of being K-Mart greeters. You certainly can't do this well.

People don't have to accept anything. The singer is getting paid. He's not doing any favor. So, if he/she screwed up the concert because he/she can't sing anymore (for whatever reason), that's not my problem. People pay the ticket. So, give them good. Or improve your skills for better. No complaints.

Great topic guys. Naturally, as a huge fan, it's just sad to see/hear. Unfortunately, the aging process is somewhat kind to some & not so kind to others. As stated tho, I think how you treat yourself along the way is a big factor. Vince Neil, Stephen Pearcy, Don Dokken, etc. etc. have been on the vocal struggle for years now. Others, like Joe Elliot & Sebastian Bach still sound pretty good, but not the "old days" good. Not an 80's voice, but I still enjoy Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. His seems to be holding up well for being almost 60 years old. As always, thanx for a great watch Guru & Bryan !!

You did go to see a band where the drummer couldn't move any longer if you saw the Kiss reunion tour.

Musicians are artists so they could always try another medium if they can't perform anymore. As an artist myself I've always been interested in other types of art. Growing up I always doodled and self-taught myself how to draw. Later I ventured out in to other types of art such as playing guitar, harmonica, and saxophone. I wrote a couple of short stories and poetry for a bit and I still like to carve pumpkin designs around Halloween but my main passion now is photography. Some musicians try acting but that's tough to get consistent work. Guitarist George Lynch was in to bodybuilding for awhile, horror writer Clive Barker ventured in to painting, etc. Probably can't necessarily make a living in these other activities unless you are really good, but it's fun to participate.

Awesome topic Guru! Love the banter between you and your co-host! Off topic, I’m not on Twitter/X/FB. Would it be possible to connect off line regarding your rock/metal items you have for sale? Also, glad to see a fellow NoDak on TH-cam! Grand Forks born and raised!

You should do a video on what bands do when fans piss them off on stage.. is there a video on TH-cam of Angus Young getting something thrown on him and then you have the security guards bring the guy to the front of the stage so he can grab his nose and yank it

Side note Ritchie Blackmore once brick wall the keyboard is Tony Carey's door and set off a fire alarm because he was tired of him doing drugs

Side note Ritchie Blackmore claimed that he wanted to hire some thugs to jump Gillan after a show and beat his ass

Why did Vinnie Vincent replace Robert Fleischman with Mark Slaughter on the videos.. and then whitesnake did that with their album 1987.. replace the whole band. Ronnie James Dio wiped out his whole band the lock up the wolves.. Celtic Frost wiped out their lineup for Cherry orchards

Please talk about that Ozzy impersonator that Lita Ford did a remake of close My Eyes Forever with.. that is absolutely ridiculous

What would happen if Ozzy got sick seconds before a show and they had the Ozzy impersonator that currently does s*** with Lita Ford.. that is an embarrassment for Lita Ford to actually appear with impersonator

Glenn Hughes was punched in the nose over a cocaine argument before a Black Sabbath show and had blood in his throat so Ray Gillen was always waiting in the wings behind the curtains unknown to him..low.

After Quiet Riot 3 album the band left Kevin sleeping in a hotel room and slipped a note under his door that he was fired

If they can't cut it live anymore (by live I mean fucking live...no backing tracks) then they should retire. Period. The only person I give a pass to on this is Vince because he always sucked, so if you're paying to see to Motley you know what you're getting. BTW if you can't play the songs at the proper tempo then you should also pack it in. Go watch a live video of Faster Pussycat (for example) these days...they play so slow the songs are practically ballads.

I wish Janie Lane could have lived to see how awesome Cherry Pie was in Bad Grandpa. That alone made the entire existence of that song worth it.

What about when axle was in ACDC.. I thought he sounded better on the Brian Johnson s*** he just could not pull off the bon Scott because he didn't have the soul for it

When ripper was in Judas Priest they lowered the Tuning and it sounded like crap.. when Blaze was an Iron Maiden they did not alter the tuning.. but Blaze singing the wrong key

You should do a video on all the Van Halen singers.. including Mitch Malloy.. you should talk about the kitchen sink tour that was going to feature all of them

WASP are the kings of breaking the live shows... And what about Motley Crue.. Mick Mars went on That Metal Show and said that if they were to ever reunite the first show would be free.. what are the odds that that actually happened

Another great video from the grunge Guru..🎉🎉🎉 just kidding you know this is my favorite Channel.. I have to chime in and maybe give you a suggestion for doing a video on bands that promise things that they never follow through on or lie about retiring..WASP. Blackie said that when they came back to America for the 40th anniversary tour they were going to do the Electric Circus the way it was meant to be done originally with an actual Freak Show.. now I know that he says a doctor f***** his back up.. but when they came and did the tour finally last year there was no freak Show but there was a bunch o f digital images behind them.. and blackie was up in a modified wheelchair turned into a microphone stand with handlebars.. they were even clothes hanging off the sides of it.. and drinks surrounding him. That's the last straw

I recently saw Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Def Leppard and was at that same Adlers Appetite show in Fargo too. You’re right, Stevens vocalist tore it up, while the old bands are just not cutting it anymore. I’m gonna be 50 in a couple of months. I don’t know what’s worse,,, Watching the world fall apart or seeing my heroes age.

I'm a huge Dream Theater fan, and there has been arguments over James LaBrie's voice for years in the fandom. He was incredible, but after his vocal accident in the 90s his voice hasn't been the same. I've seen videos of his being poor, but when I've seen him he has been great. However, in the last few years he has been unlistenable live. On th elast tour, i refused to go because he was so bad. For years I was against a change but now? Maybe its time.

to be honest, back in the day many singers weren't great live, so we were used to it. Now, everyone has to be note perfect - thank X-Factor for that! Don Dokken can play guitar so maybe he should do that to still get the buzz of playing live but get a good singer in to sing the songs. Coverdale essentially did this - he filled the band with great singers and leaned heavily on them and got the crowd to sing the rest!

Another great topic and discussion!-thank you Guru!(from a kiwi)

You can support bands like Babylon A.D. still the same singer and sounds great and they have a new album. Its good!!! Also Jack Russell is done due to health issues, so it is slowly happening.

I saw David Lee Roth in Sydney on the Skyscraper tour with Vai and Bissonette, it was great and I’m glad that’s my only live memory of Roth.

Great video ❤❤❤

There are videos from Aerosmiths last night when the Demon of Screamin destroyed his voice. He was sounding pretty good, not the same as 20 years ago but still good.

I am going to see PEARCY Friday night I know he can't sing anymore my favorite band love the music. I will go see Pearcy every chance I get

It just sucks, we're getting old, still love them all!!!

What the good bands do is rework the classics a l little bit, make it sound a bit like they’re old stuff and pump up your amps as loud as you can . I saw mega death on a off night,he had a cold or something , they turned up those amps and went for it. Man,mustaine can fucking play. Who I feel bad for really,is pat cenatar, she was a fucking rock goddess in the seventies and eighties.now she sounds like crap. cc

Im a Y&T fan! Saw them 3 months ago. Dave Meniketti, he still has it! Sammy Hagar, he's 70. He still has it!! Klause Meine, not great, but still very good.

I seen dokken in 1999 they were fantastic, also seen them in2023 and his voice is gone but I still enjoyed myself Music was fantastic and Chris MCcarval the bass player does harmonize with Don and I would go again

I agree ,if you know that their voice is gone and you still want to see them well you get what you pay for

Then you got a Bon Jovi where he can't sing anymore and there's no Richie Sambora. I'm not paying full price on a ticket to see that

Steve from Kix can still bring it

you have all these guys that cant sing still touring then you have a guy like billy squier whos voice still sounds great but he never tours

Man, what a topic. At 54 years old, this is the biggest issue for the bands I love. I won’t go see singers I know are basically done. You won’t catch me at a Motley, Jovi, AC/DC show at this time. All bands I love and have seen numerous times but there’s no way I’m subjecting myself to that. I recently saw Slaughter and Mark is right on the edge. The band is phenomenal and Mark still hits the high notes but he can’t slink in and out of them the way he used to. He hits them but it’s at the expense of missing a couple words or fluctuations. It’s a touchy subject because guys like Mark or Milo from Steelheart are still delivering (even if it’s a notch down) but you don’t want to get stuck getting assaulted by the guys that are completely spent. It’s almost easier to stick with bands that were never vocally explosive ( Phil Lewis still sounds like the records for LA Guns but he was never reaching to begin with). Every time I go see one of my 80’s bands, I just pray that I’ll make it through the show without cringing too much. It’s funny that you mention Dokken as a a band that can’t replace the singer. Lynch, Pilson and Brown released the T&N album with Pilson singing lead on songs he wrote and guest vocalists (Pinnick, Mason, Bach etc) covering Don’s songs and that album slays. Its so much better than the Dokken versions. I might be biased because I always thought Don was a weak singer (nothing wrong or bad just weak) so to have powerhouses singing those songs was incredible.
