When I first got this, I was all, ‘Uh, this guy’s a fucking joke now, right?’ I figured the only people who still dig on him are like your skuzzy older cousin who popped his cherry in the back of his Trans-Am to Skid Row. Then Bach’s badass hard rock wail comes on like he’s trying to kick us all in the junk, and I’m all, ‘Well, 18 and life is pretty awesome and I kinda wish I popped my cherry to that shit.’
So by the time Axl Rose makes a couple of cameos, including on an Aerosmith cover, the vintage menace to society, neo-80s-revivalist hard rock keeps throbbing and pounding, making me wanna get wasted and go tell my parents to fuck off. At which point I think that maybe I’m the skuzzy dude, cuz I can’t deny that Bach is still pretty fucking rad.
