At the end of the day, I loved TLJ and Empire but I would have to put Empire No. 1.

I think PJ in 1994 was actually my first concert. I remember seeing REM a year or two later.

I think they'll release something today before the weekend.

They looked like douche bags back then, which makes it so surprising that they can’t see this chode for what he is
What is wrong with looking like femine hygiene products?

I had to google Watt to remember what he looks like and found a pic of him with his natural dark hair. I think he should go back to that, otherwise, I think he looks good. Like a music producer would look like I guess.

Metallica/Ozzy
Boston
AC/DC
Poison
Cinderella/Judas Priest
Ratt
Loverboy
Kix
Stryper
Dokken

Then I found Soundgarden and "grunge" in 91/92. But before that you can imagine how douchey I looked.
That's a great list lol! I was knee deep into the hair metal bands in the late 80's...I remember being third row for Tesla/Motley Crue around that time and it remains one of the best concerts I've been to. Now, it might actually have sucked in hindsight but my memory of it is that it was amazing. Tesla, in particular was a very underrated live band. Anyways, college and grunge hit in the early nineties and I haven't looked back but hair bands are still a guilty pleasure.

I don't think "I don't like the sound of this album" should translate to "Watt is a shitty person" but wattever

We really do...don't make us wait for shitty iPhone recordings and half-assed reviews from record store listening parties.

also, it's definitely not just rich people who look like Watt

conversely, many rich people looked like they haven't washed for a month (the "grunge" movement)

Eh...Watt can you do about it? It is Watt it is
:D
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Those two things are always 100% correlated.
