what. the. fuck. is. that. shit.

not a Shat-hater or anything, just don't give a DAMN for a comedic album to hear him "sing" is all. which, past the first couple listens (at most) won't be worth the $10-15. if anything, it could be an embarrassment & straight-up BLASPHEMY of some of these classics, despite Wylde shredding like a madman.

this "album" might just be the death of this "the way Capt. Kirk and William Shatner talks" joke.

i guess BLS ain't doing shit, so why not, eh, Zakk?

Thank God he didn't cover Space Station #9 off the first Ronnie Montrose record!?! We used to play this stuff on UMD radio back in the early 80s. It was a comedy show....NOERB
P.S. I'll always loath QUEEN!!!!!
