You know what recent trend is pissing me off more and more? Great bands who feel cheated because their iconic singer died and decide to tour with a different (always inferior) lead singer. How can you replace Jim Morrison, Freddie Mercury, Layne Staley and (I guess) Steve Perry? The answer is, you fucking can’t! Take the money you already made off their talent and pack it up. If you are going to continue touring, at least have the common decency to change the name of the goddamn band. Paul Rodgers singing with Queen is no longer Queen. It’s a simple equation. I know the Doors changed their name to the 21st Century Doors but that is only after John Densmore (the original drummer) sued them!

Another thing, so called “supergroups” don’t work. See: Audioslave, Velvet Revolver etc, etc. And while I’m at it, please die Scott Weiland and Courtney Love. It’s about time.

Thanks.
