I've never heard this about an 80's Queensryche performance. They were absolutely fantastic live from what I've heard.

I saw that tour. queensryche was great. it wasn't that they sounded bad or put on a bad performance. it was more that the complexity of their music was over the typical ratt fan's head.
The pairing of those bands on that tour was strange.
I liked ratt, but on their best day, they never sounded this good live.
rage for order show from montreal

for me, no band has put together a run of records as good as the ep-empire.
although one can make a great case for metallica, I prefer queensryche from that era.
each record is very different in style, but there's no mistaking who it is.
didn't like much they did after empire. tate's voice went downhill as did the writing.

Amazing to have momentum going into OT and we choke.

amazing?
it's disappointing.

Anyone else experienced this?

Certainly. these sympathy threads pop up regularly here.

I really wish they would offer the charger in a coupe version

a coupe on that particular car would not sell very well.
Much more difficult for the basket seat passenger to participate in the drive by without his own window to fire out of.

Wasn't he one of Curley's "Four Horsemen" or whatever they called those four highly touted backs that all came out of Texas and all of whom Curley was remarkably able to turn into duds?

he wasn't a part of Curley's Fab Five. It was
Robert davis, artie moore, david butler, jay Johnson, & Robert toomer.
Davis transferred to UAB & Moore to Ole Miss.

How did Betances become so bad? He was so damn good

He hasn't been consistent since he was put into the closer role last season. trade him after this season for a 7 day metro card. that's about what he's worth.

I feel like Eli is only as good as those around him

you could put him behind the '98 broncos ol with rice & moss as wide receivers, & he'd still lead the league in interceptions.

I'm boycotting using the words "actually" & "literally". Like the people that over & misuse them, I find them to be very annoying.

Yanks manage just a run on three hits against porcello, who was 7-14 (someone has been hitting him) entering the game and lose 5-1. They drop 5 behind the red sox.
Judge strikes out again making that 37 straight games with a K. He's 3 for 40 against Boston since the all star break & has just 7 hits in his last 48 at bats. He's also had a few lapses in the field recently. Time for him to sit a few.

14 runners left on base. Yanks have to lead the AL with runners stranded in scoring position. they're the worst at being able to come up with a clutch hit to put teams away.
Where Boston is going to make you pay if they get an opportunity. they're just a much better team than the Yankees.
Right now, I have no faith in this team even making a wildcard. they've still got about 6 more games against the red sox. they'll be lucky if they can win 2 of those.

I saw After the Fire (Der Komissar) open for Van Halen. Bizarre.

van halen has had a tendency to have some odd openers. they took bachman turner overdrive out with them on the 5150 tour.
nothing will ever be as out of place as them taking kool and the gang out though.
