I vote Tommy Lee and Vince Neil change their last names to Three and Four so that the Mötley Crüe members will now be: Tommy Three, Vince Four, John 5, Nikki Sixx.

edit: to all the people who said 5, Sixx, Seven, Eight—I could not agree more

Hello everyone!

I came here to share with you some news. I have been working as a song writer with a band named STIXXY for the last couple of months and our EP “Purely Black” is out now if you want to give it a shot.

It's an 80s hard rock inspired thing and it's available in I think every music streaming service.

Thank you!

Tuesday, September 19: Gamma, "Four Horsemen"

R.I.P. Ronnie Montrose (1947-2012)

If the first Montrose record was the great hidden gem of early ‘70s heavy rock, Gamma’s second album was the platonic ideal of late ‘70s/early ‘80s hard rock/AOR.  In other words, Ronnie Montrose pulled it off twice, because Gamma 2 was just straight-up awesome, and “Four Horsemen” kicked off with a killer fast-paced opening featuring stellar drumming from Denny Carmassi and a racing riff from Ronnie before switching to a slightly more swaggering groove in the verses.  It wasn’t super metallic, but had a great balance of aggressive heavy rock and classic rock: Montrose’s soloing was dexterous and elegant, and even if Davey Pattison sounded like a cross between Paul Rodgers and Lou Gramm his inflection had just the right personality for the sound coming out of the rest of the band.  Just like Ronnie’s namesake band, Gamma was a great outfit that suffered from bad luck and a mercurial leader that seemed constitutionally incapable of playing the game, but “Four Horsemen” was quintessential classic hard rock for its era that also had a bit of futuristic feel that didn’t sound as cheesy as one would think.
