12 Great Bands Plus 3 More

This is a list of 12 great bands. None of the 12 bands listed below are new to this blog - there was an existing label for each and every one of them so I have included an appropriate link in the list. I think it's interesting that Motley Crue and Guns-n-Roses have so many pages.

1. Quiet Riot (15)
2. Bon Jovi (9)
3. Motley Crue (62)
4. Cinderella (8)
5. Twisted Sister (11)
6. Poison (19)
7. Europe (4)
8. Guns-n-Roses (35)
9. Dokken (34)
10. Winger (4)
11. Ratt (18)
12. Warrant (9)

In contrast, when asked, I often will say that Metallica, Bayside, and Count the Stars are my 3 favorite bands. Here's how many labels for each of those bands exist on my blog:

• Metallica (1154)
• Bayside (241)
• Count the Stars (19)

Lamb Of God's Chris Adler Explains Why He Skipped Slayer Tour
And, speaking of Lamb of God, their guitarist Mark Morton contributed to Dee Snider's new solo album. This is a song from it:

Which is it: played more than 9000 or performed live over 9000 times

This is a case when the author of this blurb ran out of data points and repeated what had already been mentioned.

I would have 'published' the following:

---

French is most famous for his role as the founding member and one of the guitarists of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister. Since his first performances with Twisted Sister, French has played more than 9000 concert performances. Being an avid runner, French has also completed two New York Marathons, in 1981 and 1986. As a guitar player, manager, producer and executive producer, French has sold over 20 million albums, and performed in 34 countries and performed live over 9,000 times.

I think that eliminates the clunky "performed" and "performed" construction.

JP is a Cover Band?!?

Judas Priest Called A Cover Band By Jay Jay French

Wrong Reason

Mick Brown, Dokken's drummer, said the original lineup (Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown) reuniting to play some shows in Japan is being done for the wrong reason: money. He's blatantly honest. After I read the article and you can do so here, I noticed in the comments this:

---

People want old shit from old bands nowadays.
Alice Cooper, Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Judas Priest, AC/DC., Twisted Twister's setlists etc. have the majority of old songs.

---

That is so true. Because I have zero desire to see Alice Cooper, I'll withhold my commentary about his setlist - he can play whatever the hell he wants to play - I couldn't care less.

Moving on, there are songs that bands must play.

• KISS can't replace "Detroit Rock City" with a tune from "Monster"
• Metallica can't replace "Master of Puppets" with "St. Anger"
• Megadeth can't replace any tune from "Rust in Peace" with a tune from "Risk"
• Slayer can't replace "War Ensemble" with a tune from "Diabolas in Musica"
• Judas Priest can't replace "Living After Midnight" with a tune from "Turbo"
• AC/DC can't replace "Back in Black" with a tune from "Fly on the Wall"
• Twisted Sister can't replace any tune from "Stay Hungry" with a tune from "Love is for Suckers"
