What is the name of the 80′s sci-fi television series featuring young, science misfits?

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Here are some of the things I remember; a male character that could control electricity, one character could change size, a gray cargo van, came on about the same time frame as the later seasons of Knight Rider. It was on regular TV, not HBO or Showtime. It had a very short run, either part of a season or just one season.

Metallica – The 80′s Albums – Coverkiller Band Review

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011


You already know how i feel about St. Anger and Death Magnetic, but its time to go back to the past. To Metallica’s origin. Metallica didn’t always draw my ire, in fact, at one time they were my favorite band. Lets start with their first decade, considered by many to be one of the best decades in metal for a band.

What’s the difference between the rock bands from the 80′s and early 90′s and the rock bands now in 2009?

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

I personally think that the bands from the 80′s like Aero Smith, Guns & Roses, Journey and others are much better than the ones we have now. The lyrics, the music, the singers are much better. Their songs told stories that you could identify with, many of the songs of the bands now are just repetitive.

What is your opinion?
