Firefest 2014

Fantastic lineup there at least from my perspective. Danger Danger is one of my all time favorites so the inclusion of them with all five original members is crazy good!

 

Wish Plunkett wasn't out of the picture for the Autograph set but I suspect they will still bring it with Daniels.

 

Firehouse: always fantastic and they are playing the debut from start to finish: killer!!!!

 

Love Coney Hatch, B.A.D.and BnB, too.

 

Really hoping Andrew can steal a few of these bands for MRF4. Chicago is infinitely more accessible for me.

 

So it is the Canadian Blvd and not the Euro band playing FF?

Canadian BLVD :-))

 

Not sure about Black n Blue - not familiar with their material, and looking on You Tube is seems pretty basic straight ahead rock with dodgy vocals

H.E.A.T, Boulevard, Pretty Maids, Coney Hatch, Brother Firetribe, From The Fire, .Of The rest, Shy, Danger Danger and Firehouse maybe but seen before, but the rest... No thanks. Will seriously have to think about going as 2 bands a day I really want to see is pushing it.

 

The unsigned band vote should have been Moritz by a mile, although they should have been automatically on the bill imo.

Mate, check out songs like "Without Love," "Rockin' On Heaven's Door," "Nature of the Beach," "Miss Mystery," "Hold On to 18," "The Strong Will Rock," "Sight for Sore Eyes," "The Snake"...

Why should Moritz be automatically on the bill?

 

Apparently the FF guys turned down around 10 other class melodic rock acts - most of which are probably far better than Moritz.

 

There were over 5000 votes cast, far and square, and Moritz didnt make it into the final 3.

 

To be honest I didnt vote, but Angels or Kings and Fahran sound better than Moritz to these ears.

 

Jimi Anderson band sounded pretty damned good as well.

 

So I would guess that those 3 bands are in the running on merit.

 

Cheers

Because they are one of the best UK MR/Aor bands around at the moment, and I think something like Firefest should be supporting more of the good UK bands that are around (and I don't mean just FM either).rather than some bands that are reforming/have in the past reformed, just to play a one off gig and get a few extra bums on seats. Moritz are a quality live band and are imo.much more deserving,. I understand they want to go out with a bang with this one, but compared to some of the acts on the bill, Moritz (and AOK and maybe the other 2 aswell) would have fitted in very nicely alongside some of the bigger names.

Sorry mate but id rather see the bands on the bill.

 

Id take blvd, babylon, pretty maids etc a million times over Moritz.

 

I can only make one day so it was a tough choice between sat & sun which is also great (apart from Axxis!).

So, who else decided to attend Firefest this year? Or is it just going to be Glen, Andre and myself?? I will be there all 3 days, making the most out of it.

Well... every year I want to go. But every year I can't afford it.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
