That song has some powerful lyrics.

Cult of Personality is in my top songs ever Sucks that Vernon Reid doesn't get the credit he deserves for being a damned good guitarist.Videos? They still make those?
MTV is more like MehTV these days.
I miss the days of Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes and Liquid Television.
In protest of the void MTV has become, here are the SwiftDog Video Music Awards:
Best Rock Song of the 80's (lyrics are still very much on point in today's world)
Video that bests represents what new Van Halen should sound like
Best video from the 2000's that no one ever saw (I've partied with these guys. Very cool and chill people!)

Thank goodness he does! Wish popular admiration was as large, because he's amazing. I remember seeing them early on, and hearing them, him in particular, was like... electricity. I couldn't get the grin off my face, and my heart was pounding! It's frickin' magic, watching or hearing someone do something so well that it seems supernatural. Gets me every time. So many seriously slammin' guitarists get little notice, while kudos are heaped on just a few, based on name recognition.Burnin' Vernon gets his props in musicians circles \w/
Listen to this isolated guitar track from Cult of Personality . It's SICK. I've been trying to correctly play the verse fill and bridge to this tune for 27 years and I still can't get it!!!
....thanks for turning me onto some acts that this old fart wasn't aware of....that's the kind of style I grew up with-just with a modern twist....Video with SwiftDog's favorite 80's female singer
Most White Zombiest White Zombie video
Video that shows there is still hope for rock music
And finally the best video from the best rock band in the world right now
You should check out their (Berlin) song 'Sex, I'm a....' and 'No More Words'. The lead singer Teri something is now an actress. On their first album she was credited as 'Vocals. BJ's.' At least they had a sense of humor back then........thanks for turning me onto some acts that this old fart wasn't aware of....that's the kind of style I grew up with-just with a modern twist....

I love the group Berlin. Their first album was called Pleasure Victim. The lead singer's name is Terri Nunn and she was an actress even before being in Berlin. She's one of the two teens who Try to win KISS tickets in the movie Thank God It's Friday.You should check out their (Berlin) song 'Sex, I'm a....' and 'No More Words'.

Do you guys remember the group Missing Persons? The singer (Dale Bozzio?) wore Lady Gaga outfits before Gaga even thought about what to wear! Dale wore some really far-out outfits.I love the group Berlin. Their first album was called Pleasure Victim. The lead singer's name is Terri Nunn and she was an actress even before being in Berlin.

I absolutely remember the group and her (I still listen to them!). And that's what I mean about Gaga looking to the past. I am positive she has knowingly channeled Ms. Bozzio in some of her outfits.Do you guys remember the group Missing Persons?

Wow! Never saw that. She's not half bad. Thanks GNT!
