Macedonian punk sludge. This is how I imagine music played in hell.

Today I am rather liking the disjointed, spiky but fluid solo in this  
Starts just after 2m 10s.

Since seeing Rick Beato's breakdown of this solo, I have been reliving my love of Journey this week.



It is beautiful.

 finally got a physical copy of the first Solitude Aeternus demo. Not Rob Lowe's majestic vocal delivery but there iw a rough charm to these versions.

Bon Jovi on BBC4. Some vocal struggling going on and no Phil X (I’m sure Ritchie is more interesting to fans but I like Phil X).

Got better although I wasn’t sure why they seemed ashamed of their bassist.

@EricTheWeary I'm assuming it's an old show?  Unless they've got Richie back and I hadn't heard about it.  I'm not a big Phil X fan, but he's a talented chap and totally wasted in Bon Jovi.

The bass player thing is weird, Hugh McDonald was in the band for 22 years before they made him an official member.  For some reason they didn't want to officially replace Alec John Such, but he was never going to come back (and he certainly won't now, RIP).

Looked it up, 2014, I’d assumed it was recent. Hugh was up the back, largely out of shot. There was a second guitarist who at least got to stand near the front. It was all quite lacklustre. Wikipedia says Ritchie left in 2013 which is a bit confusing, but presumably this was one of his last shows with the band. 

When I was a student I had a friend who was a big Bon Jovi fan so I remember all that eighties stuff but this was more the ‘poor man’s Bruce Springsteen’ side of them.

That's the only side they've had for ooh, 35 years now.  But I'd say they're more like the poor man's Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes... so they're the poor man's poor man’s Bruce Springsteen.  I'm tempted to watch it to see if I can smell the tension with Richie.

They do a couple of fist bumps and look fine, part of why I thought it was more recent. Although Ritchie looked pale and Jon has what MrsTheWeary would describe as a Resting Bitch Face. 

Someone on here was recently asking about how to get the Living on a Prayer guitar sound, the answer seems to be turn it into a turgid acoustic number which involves no reaching for high notes.
