Bachmann, Thunder, Overdose <<
What Hurricane Irene really meant
Michele Bachmann was wrong. Hurricane
Irene wasn’t sent by God as a warning to
Washington politicians. With the news
that the storm destroyed Sebastian Bach’s
house, along with Skid Row mastertapes, it’s
obvious it was just another step in His
25 year campaign against US hair metal.
Just look at the facts:
Motley Crue left behind their heavy rocking
ways in favour of MTV, hair dye and make-up
after Shout At The Devil in 1983. God was
obviously angered so He fired a warning
shot across the bows to the LA rock scene
by getting Vince Neil to kill Razzle from
Hanoi Rocks in a car crash. It wasn’t heeded
so over the next two decades He subjects
‘Crue to all sorts of indignities – Nikki
Sixx dates Kat Von D, Vince Neil gets fat,
they all overdose.
Ratt’s Robin Crosby announced he had AIDS,
then died from a heroin OD. The band then
entered a lawsuit over rights to use the
name, during which Ratt neither recorded
nor toured for five years.
Poison’s Bret Michaels gets a burst
appendix, brain haemorrhage and hole in
the heart. He does so much reality TV
no-one remembers he was in a band.
Warrant’s Janie Lane, dies in an LA hotel
room in August, aged only 47. And not in
the Chateau Marmont or Sunset Marquis, but
a Comfort Inn.
