  1. I'm not sure what to think of this. Ron Asheton is obviously the Stooges guitarist and considering the history and the clash between James Williamson and Ron it seems almost insulting to his legacy to replace him with James, again. I'm not sure how Scott Asheton could accept such a thing.

    That being said, if their tour reaches the northern latitudes I'll be seeing Iggy & The Stooges without a doubt.

  2. Is Twisted Sister still that popular there to get that high a billing??

    Yes they are. Atleast in Finland, but in nordic countries generally as well. Twisted Sister realesed a complication album for Finland only and when I saw them live (on their few dates in UK + nordic countries tour) Dee Snider said we ought to thank their tour manager who knew that TS (and "80's heavy metal") is still big in the nordic countries. Twisted Sister is propably one of the only bands of it's type I like, there's just something different about them. The band sounds.. true I guess - TS doesn't try to be New York Dolls or T. Rex.

  3. I agree with you. We can post 6000 x 6000 pictures but signature limit is the same 20kb it was +5 years ago...............

    Actually I love the sig limit. All the big picture sig's are a bit annoying anyway. I just changed my board settings to not show sigs at all.

    Exactly. Users with slow connection or who are otherwise annoyed by sigs are welcome to use this feature.

  4. can somebody define power pop for me, in their own words? Its not a term i really understand...like Roxette and shit?

    Actually I don't think there is a good explanation, muff sounding pop songs, maybe? :D Synths, strong melodies and a stand out singing voice.

    Thaty Bonnie Tyler song is quite good. Would work better as a ~3min song though.

    E:^I don't think power pop is really limited to only ballads.

  5. ^UK Subs is from GMT and they're speculating his successor.

    I've said this a few times already but can't hurt to say it once more... This board needs more moderators to keep it running organized. Especially if a new tour is coming up. There's been a completly random thread in the VR section for a few days, ffs :P
