“Yeah. I sucked and I knew it, but I took your fucking money anyway.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it! Lou Gramm admitted that after his brain surgery, he couldn’t remember the words to Foreigner’s classic songs, but he kept touring and collecting paychecks.

Holy hell, Motley Crue is trying to sell their Theatre of Pain box set with a live single from 1985, and it proves that they’ve always been bad live, even when Vince Neil was in his prime! But that’s not the worst news—Lou Gramm is admitting that he forgot his Foreigner lyrics after brain surgery 30 years ago but kept taking fans’ cash for terrible performances. Meanwhile, Robin McCauley’s band Black Swan is back with some killer new music, but with Journey kicking off an ambitious farewell tour (that is totally reliant on backing tracks), is anyone going to pay attention to quality rock anymore?
