6 more weeks of poutine. That's nothing. DeBlasio whacked Staten Island Chuck after he gave us 6 more weeks of winter. They buried him in a mini oil drum in Fresh Kills.
Had the two-lane version of that when I was a kid. Alas, we did not have a bat cave, like those people did.

Musically, I WENT to Rock 'n Roll High School. Pretty much everybody who's my age did. As opposed to Punk HS, Shoegaze HS, or Alternative Academy. We had a daily diet of it, as you already know. Pop Elementary and Middle School were just as great.
Dude - it's a rare screening. We've been over this before. Schlock rock was already farting itself into oblivion by the time R&RHS came out. Punk/New Wave was about returning to the simplicity of early rock. Not Rick Wakeman doodling for 10 minutes in a Merlin robe.
YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY WHORE MOUTH ABOUT RICK WAKEMAN! Lol,j/k,the cool kids were listening to Chris Squire holding down the bass.
There's nothing rare about garage bands who get out of the garage because nobody who listens to them knows shit about music.. Wakeman shits on your musi- uh, sonic heroes from a great height
I shall playeth a 10 minute harpsichord solo while casting a spell on ye! No Steve Howe love, ye cretins?
"Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out!" --Jello Biafra Incidentally . . . Has anyone identified this band? The bass player looks like comic and podcaster Marc Maron if the podcasting thing didn't work out and he needed to live out of a van.
I'm going with Guitar Tech, Soccer Mommy, Undercover Keanu Reeves & the douche who will marry your wayward daughter.
Didn't Wakeman ditch playing with Bowie to form Yes? Sorry, personal preference --- I can't stand most ProgRock.
You really should give Epica a go. https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-outer-limits-how-prog-are-epica
Say what you want about Rick Wakeman, but the dude had the absolutely best RRHOF induction speech ever.
