TMS returns March 31,2012.

Hopefully Eddie Trunk has been fired and replaced by John 5 as main host.

*Guitar Solo*

I liked the episode too...Lars was cool and like you said, seemed genuinely impressed by Mike's drumming...."and he's probably doing it was a single bass drum" I think was the exact quote that really stayed with me...must be really cool to have Lars be impressed with your playing...what that translates too beyond some nice words...not really sure.

don't really know the other guys band very well....never been a fan...would I check them out...yeah probably...have I....barely if any/.

Machine head always felt to me, just based on time period like a lot of the grindcore sort of thrash stuff that came out...prong, man I can't even remember all the different band names...none of it was that interesting to me.

good episode...would I watch it again....eh...probably not.

I'd go 3 out of 5.

Special Guest Drummer: Brian Tichy

Okay, I will go on record and say that no one will top Brian for best Guest Drummer for Season 10. That was just awesome  s h i t  he displayed. He's a great drummer and a hell of a showman to incorporate a Speed Bag into his arsenal. The other thing, although not entirely original, the dude can play with his bare hands and doesn't suck at it because he plays with just force whereas other's favor their hands so as not to hurt them.

Anytime you get Alice Cooper on your show, you are going to have a lot of cool  s h i t  to talk about and this was no exception. Just listen to him tell his story about the time he met Elvis Presley and you will come away liking the dude even more. Great storyteller. Jack Russell had some very interesting things to say. I was unaware that there are now 2 different version of Great White. First the Beach Boys, then LA Guns, now we have to go through the same  s h i t  with Great White? Ugh.

Pretty cool to see Scott Ian sitting in on the Top 5 List for Best Guitar Duo's in Rock. But I gotta say there were some pretty big omissions on their part. My Top 5 List is: 1. Steve Clark / Phil Collen 2. Chris DeGarmo / Michael Wilton 3. KK Downing / Glen Tipton 4. Angus Young / Malcolm Young 5, Joe Perry / Brad Whitford.

The Throwdown was pretty interesting: What's the Best Comeback Album: Metallica's Death Magnetic Or Van Halen's A Different Kind Of Truth? Everyone on the Panel picked VH, except Don who went with Metallica. The audience sided with Don.

Special Guest Drummer: Brian Tichy

This episode was kind of a train wreck. Normally TMS brings out one guest and they get time to talk about what it is they want to talk about. But in this one they bring out not one, not two, but all three people that make up T&N. What we are left with is everyone on the panel stepping on each other's toes to get a word in edge wise, which made for a cluster f u c k  of epic proportions. I like the guys and love their music (Dokken), but I certainly didn't enjoy the interview style that went down. Too much going on and nothing really note worthy was said.

Having said that. What the hell is T&N? That's about the dumbest name for a band ever. They should call themselve Y&T: Youth & Tails and have a Giant Robot as their mascot.

Pretty surprised to see Slash show up as the guest panelist for TMS Top 5 Title Tracks. Some good choices, but in the end the list sucks. Mine is better and I defy anyone to top it. My Top 5: 1. Love Gun by KISS 2. Highway to Hell by AC/DC 3. Back In Black by AC/DC 4. For Those About To Rock by AC/DC 5. 1984 by Van Halen <--------Sarcasm. 5. High 'n' Dry by Def Leppard

The Throwdown: Eat 'Em and Smile Vs. 5150 was interesting, not in who picked what. But interesting in that Eddie doesn't have the balls 98% of the time to ever pick against anyone that is a guest on the show. No balls whatsoever. Both albums are awesome, but Eat 'Em And Smile is a much better album in every way, shape or form over 5150. In the end, the audience was 50/50. As Jim liked to say, the tie went to Eat 'Em and Smile.

Even though George was backing saying he didn't say there was an impending reunion with Dokken, I think he is full of  s h i t. They both went on the show with the intent to announce it, or imply there would be. Why else would they be on stage together after so many years apart? To say they are friends? Yeah, right.

This week they are introducing a new segment: Mud Wrestling with Jennifer. I say make it an hour long special.
