[Him]

That first yowl sounded more like a yawn and an egg cracking and I was worried. But, no worries to be had. This is MM doing MM as MM has done MM for at least 3/4 of his career. Are his vocals a touch less high and a bit more low? Sure. The guy's 60 . . . LONG . . . years old!!! I admire him sticking to what works. Him and HR were so close, I mean soooo close, to get to the big stage. But glad to see he is still gracing the smaller stages and making it sound great.

Now I want you to imagine this baby: Bret Micheal(s) Monroe. Maybe "Love on the Rocks" would sound a touch less derivative of, well, you know. I kid. I always kid. And I also like baby goats.

One final aside: Slash does indeed rock. But he is no guarantee that a song _will_ be a rocker. Tons of clunkers in his catalog. This song is a rocker because he is swept up in the MM sounds. And he does it proud.

Hope the middle of the week is tipping into a fine end of the week for everyone!

This frickin’ ROCKS!!! … Man, Slash hasn’t sounded this pure since one of the throwaways from “Use Your Illusion” …

I once saw Michael Monroe having drinks with Billy Idol at the 23rd Street Bar & Grill in NYC … Ironic that Monroe sounds way more PUNK than Idol once Idol threw all that way when he abandoned Generation X to go solo, an endeavor that sounds way more middle of the road than anything Monroe or Slash could ever be conned into except for the patter’s questionable “November Rain”.

Clever video, to boot!
