    Desmond Child is royalty when it comes to rock songwriting. The 80s belong to him if we talk about Hard Rock. ''Heaven's On Fire'' influenced Bon Jovi. ''Livin' On a Prayer'' influenced Alice who wanted that same sound. So on and so on. Joan jett, Aerosmith, Cher, etc... The man is still going today and now, the hits are legion but for me, Desmond Child will always be my musical identity from the 80s. You can't beat the sequence from 88 to 91 where he also worked a lot with Diane Warren. Even his demos were part of the soundtrack of my life ("Sword & Stone", "Time Traveler", "Love Is War", "Edge Of a Broken Heart"). The name is cool. The character is cool. The man is cool. his way of seeing life is cool and his outspokenness is even cooler! He has his own way of putting a person in their place that I admire. I loved his songs so much that I studied them all to the point of knowing each of his little characteristics. These little things that made Diane Warren say in an interview: ''That's a Desmond thing'' (stopping the music for a second and blasting the final chorus into a higher note, the surprise modulations, the ''Nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, hey, tut, tut, tut..., the long bridges of four phrases which modulate, the voice which rises an octave, etc...). I wish we could go back to the 80s and relive more songs like the ones Desmond wrote. I want another ''Poison'', another ''I Hate Myself For Loving You'', another ''Emotional Fire'', Who Wants To Be Lonely'', ''These Times Are Hard For Lovers'', etc. .. Thank you Desmond Child for everything. My life wouldn't be the same without your songs.
    By the way, i just bought your book on Amazon. Can't wiait to read it tomorrow.

      I had to sleep on this and come back for a second listen. I know KS was involved in the Nine Lives record and Silverchair. I believe he is referencing him at the 9:00 mark about being in NY.. in regards to his songs making it on the record. I am now curious how that all transpired. Sounds like Kev had a part in advancing those songs Des had help compose. Maybe I’m wrong. Interesting.
