saw him a few years ago in Houston and he put on a very high energy show. Loved it, and yes Stevens is an amazing lead guitarist who was sporting a wife with some high end upgrades
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

As a young lad, I had VCR recorded Cradle of Love from MTV, and watch and rewatched that video for the young hottie. I liked the song, but the video was better than anything out there as this was pre-Internet. In seeing it now, it seems so tame compared to what is on Instagram or Tik Tok now.

Still, good memories.

Also Billy delivered a hell of a strong ~75 minute set last week.

First time seeing him and was curious if he still had it.


I am pretty sure that is Flea.
Good guess, but it's actually Dolph Lundgren.

He should have already won an Academy Award as well!

I just realized Phil Collins is not in as a solo artist…150 million records sold worldwide.How the hell did this happen ? Heck, I feel like everyone over the age of 20 is aware of In The Air Tonight alone.

That's surprising. I think he should be in before Billy Idol.

Are you serious? Phil Collins WAS Genesis. A fantastic musician who could play the drums and sing at the same time. That takes a boatload of talent.

Can you get in twice? I know that Jack Irons wasn't included with because he was in with RHCP.

So after high school (1990) I was living in Australia and worked a year before coming back to the States for College. I worked 30 minutes away and road everyday with a guy that lived close to me for a year. Before that had zero interest in Billy Idol. He literally listened to the Rebel Yell album every single morning for that year. By the end, was a big fan. So hell yea!

He wasn't on their first two albums, and he didn't take over as vocalist until their 7th album, after their best material was released. A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering were good albums though. After Steve Hackett left then they started going downhill.

Yes, the famous Prince guitar solo was with George Harrison's 2nd induction.

Lots of people in twice. Grohl, Page and Clapton (Yardbirds), all The Beatles, and most recently Stevie Nicks and Tina Turner. Also Neil Young and Ronnie Wood/Rod Stewart (The Faces).

Weird thing is Peter Gabriel is in twice, but not Collins.
