@@animeshowtv3351 I'm Filipino and I can even say that Arnel Pineda is a pretty good singer, BUT he cannot touch Robin Zander. I mean Pineda has range of course, but he lacks a lot. Maybe it's the accent he can't 100% shake when he sings? Not sure. But you can tell he's trying too hard to sound like Robin when he sings. Trying to sound like him is fine but the point is you can tell he's clearly trying so hard when he sings this song.

Most people have heard of Zepplin, Aerosmith, skynyrd, Almond Brothers, The Who and cheap trick. They felt the same way about our music as you now feel about the kids music today. It was written for you so you probably dont get it and they dont care if you get it. They prefer you dont because it's their music just as this was ours. Music is driven by the kids and they know what they like just as you did even though your parents said it was noise.
