Added Episode Index

For whatever reason, VH1 Classic video links are broken and won't work on this site or anywhere for that matter. So, I'm posting the Index that has Episode 1. When the links are fixed, I will go back to posting individual episodes as before.

I'll have to check it out on the tv, my computer sucks I guess. It's like watching a slide show with the visuals. 

Sometimes I forget that with my souped up PC and slick monitor, that other's may not have the same options when it comes to viewing experiences. If I wasn't happy with my set up, there is no way I would have given up cable.

Episode 3



Special Guest: Marky Ramone

Now THIS ia the best episode of either Season 1 and Season 2. First with Marky Ramone stopping by, all 3 bands had to take their existing songs that they have learned and turn it into a punk song. Sounds so much better to my ears. But the meat and potatoes of this episode was that each band began work on writing their original songs. And let me tell ya, each song they came up with kicks ass. I was floored in how good the songs where. Still some rough edges that need to be worked on, but they all have potential to be top shelf songs. I really don't even know which song I like best. This is worlds apart from last season where only 1 band produced a worthy original song.

I'm gonna have to watch this episode again. This is actually a primer on how to take simple riffs and expand on it and build till you have something solid to hang your hat on.

FYI, Katya is a joke. She is going to try and dictate how to write a song when she herself can't even string 3 chords together?

Episode 5 (Season Finale)



Special Guest: Sammy Hagar

Easily the best Special Guest for Season 2 is Sammy. I'd want to hang out and jam with him and write a song or two with him if given the chance. As for the bands here, they each did a really good job on Hagar's songs: Rock Candy, I Can't Drive 55 and There's Only One Way to Rock.

This episode started off with a bang when Jesse and Starr literally tore each other a new one. Stuff like that is just going to tear apart any band, especially one that is only a week old. Their band The Spaceball Ricochets by Mark Hudson were the weakest of the 3. They had no energy or chemistry the entire season and I would never pay to see them play.

On the flip side, Duff McKagen's band The Ex Hangups were by far the best of the 3 and were very tight and in the pocket when performing. I would definitely go see them live, as long as they got rid of Katya who brought nothing to the band, except her own self manifested drama. :::sigh:::

Just like last season, they let the audience decide who this years winner would be to join on stage and jam with Sammy Hagar. And just like last season, the band with the most fans in attendance cheered the loudest, enabling their band to win: Matt Sorum's band, The Bad Kick. They are good, just not the best which I have The Ex Hangups being.

Well, that sounds like an unfair way of a band to win 

It is. I was livid last season when I saw how they chose the winner. It's not based on merit but on who can get the most friends to show up. Having already gone down this road before, I knew before Season 2 even started that they would do it the same way. I had already mentally prepared myself that a lesser band would win so when it came to fruition, I wasn't as piiiised off this time around.
