![]() I know almost every great rock band has one of these clinkers in their canon, but this one cuts me to the quick since I love these guys so much.Ħ) George Michael Gets Arrested In The Bathroom. Proving that maybe Greg Lake was right about producing ELP records all along (at least he should have had a hand in this one beyond writing insipid ballads about lost children) these last bunch of tunes almost rival the first half of Love Beach for fan vitriol. I hate to get down on my most favorite group, but really, when the boys released their last studio recording in 1994, the collective fan base (what there was left of us) groaned as loud as when Fonzie literally jumped that shark. jawed a bit, and Huckabee called Chris Squire “Chris McGuire.” Another sure sign of the apocalypse.ĥ) Emerson Lake and Palmer Release In The Hot Seat. Hopefully passing beyond most everyone’s notice (how many Huckabee viewers are prog rock fans anyway?), the latest incarnation of Yes (sans Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson) stopped in on the ex-Presidential hopeful’s cable show to play “Owner of Lonely Heart.” With Huckabee staff members, the Little Rockers standing in on guitar (Steve Howe was conspicuously absent). Now with John “The Ox” Entwistle dead, they still carry on!? And in almost every interview, Townshend claims to have only ever toured those later years because Entwistle needed the money! What’s your excuse now Pete?Ĥ) Yes On The Mike Huckabee Show. How many members of a band have to leave, quit or die before the remaining members of that band decide that it ain’t that band anymore because the members have left, quit or died? I could go on and on about questioning integrity when a group tours with so many new members they shouldn’t they even use the name any more (can anybody say Queen and Paul Rodgers? Journey with Steve Perry sound-alikes?), still this one gets me where I live because Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey lost Keith Moon so many years ago and didn’t give it up then. Tour with whomever, but don’t go out as Zep, please…please!ģ) The Who Carry On. Albeit, there has been a lot of them in the rock and roll world, but “The Rumor” this year (and maybe one of the scariest ones in the past decade) is that John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Jason Bonham might tour the mighty Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant! The jury is still out on what’s going to happen on this one, but man it gives you the shivers to think these guys are even contemplating it enough that it makes the papers. happened within even a yard of Steve Tyler, he would have wrapped a scarf round her and “Oops, did it again,” to her a thousand different ways! Steven and Britney did their thing for the cheering football fans while real rock and roll nuts (not to mention Aerosmith fans) looked on, convinced they were witnessing one of the sure signs of the apocalypse.Ģ) The Led Zeppelin Touring Sans Robert Plant Rumor. The Backstreets Boys were there too, but seeing the Bad Boys of Boston mix it up with the tart pop queen was one of the most emasculating moments in rock and roll. ![]() You be the judge.ġ) Aerosmith and Britney Spears Perform Together At The Super Bowl. Although I’d argue that the entire run of MTV is the biggest bunch of silliness the rock world has ever seen (and continues to see), I had to get beyond my prejudice and find some real actual moments that caused a ‘d chill’ down my back enough to win inclusion here. Not of the Ozzy –bites-the-head-off-a-bat-but-doesn’t-know-it’s-a-live-bat variety, there have been moments in rock history that have been so out-and-out silly, embarrassing, jump-the-shark insipid that I felt a light little list of ten might be warranted.
