heaven&hell

Rick and myself were partying hard at Skull Fest on his birthday!

I just saw Tony at Skull Fest and it hurts me to say that he was a dick on stage. It was great to hear him sing and he even did a Westworld song too but he seemed to be to annoyed with people at the bar watching the football game and not paying attention to him.

He did announce that there is a new Westworld album in the works which is great but without Mark Reale I'm not sure they should call it Westworld IMO.

Damn thats a hell of a deal but I have both LOF but need the Dimage and really meant to buy it at MRF.

This is a great album plain and simple and their great live too!

My fav LOF song and you guys ruled that night. I hope you get an electric set next time!

Well I bought the first two after seeing them at MRF3 and they were awesome live. While there are a few fillers on the first two I do think the debut is slighly better but Out from the Cold is very good too IMO. I just ordered the new one today. My wife did make a point to say that they didn't sound as powerful on cd and they did live. They tore the roof off in Chicago!

 

So better than it looks on paper; excellent. I'm going to have to stay up one night and watch a Chiefs game sooner or later...

You don't want to watch the next two as we will be 9-0, then they have a bye week. Tune in 4 weeks from now with a showdown with Denver!

 

Denver will lose at least once to KC and you know I'm a Denver fan so thats not easy for me to say. Our D is suspect and our WR are having issues with seperation the last few weeks and we have major injury issues on the O line and it is affecting pass protection big time.

I love every album by Mr. Big (both Gilbert & Kotzen eras). If I'm honest, Mr. Big are one of my favorite Melodic Rock bands....probably mainly because of Eric Martin's vocals...he has such a great delivery and vibe.

I'm a big fan to Shawn especiallyt the first 3 albums and the underrated Kotzen era Get Over It album. It was great to hear Eric sing at MRF and him do a song from that disc. Did you meet him?

I still haven't got this but it looks like it comes out here next week or maybe the week after.

These guys were great at MRF3 last month. I just wish they would have had some cds there to buy.

The song is average IMO and I loved the last two albums so hopefully this is not a sign of what's to come on the new album.

From the Skull Fest festival:

Leatherwolf - S/T(1st album/2002 Band Reissue)

Leatherwolf - New World Asylum

Ron Keel - Wild Forever 3 Song Single

Innersiege - Kingdom of Shadows

AdrianGale - Sucker Punch!

Farcry - High Gear

Farcry - Optimism

3 great discs!

Adriangale - Suckerpunch

Harem Scarem - Voice of Reason

Black N Blue - Hell Yeah

Mad Max - Stormchild

Right now I'd say Wet 'Rise Up' but that could change by the end of the year. I need the new Eden's Curse, Reckless Love and several others and I just got the new Alter Bridge and I love it so that could jump to the top of the list. While there have been many very good albums there haven't been as many great ones IMO as say there was in 2010 or other recent years but still there have been many very good ones.

Coldspell - Infinite Srargaze

Not The same Without Steve But Simon Has A Great Voice And Was Supposed To Play Skull Fest But Pulled Out.

It Comes Out Here Later In The Month.

Impulse was at MRF3 and it was nice to buy in person and not worry about what was and wasn't in stock. I bought several cds and he had some great sales going. I really could have spent $1000 at their booth but had to walk away if I wanted to stay married....

No Love Lost - S/T

Maxx Explosion - Forever

Coldspell - Out from the Cold

Alter Bridge - Fortress

I didn't know this was out yet. In the UK?

I can remember way back in the day when I was at 50 posts, man those were the days.

It's different from the others for sure and more Melodic Metal almost. The singer was in Dimage the pre-Line of Fire band and also has been in Whitesnake tribute band in the Carolina area WhiteFake. I just dig the disk myself and I like that it's different than the others and like every song on there.

Coldspell - Out from the Cold

Alter Bridge - Fortress

I Love The New Disc But Not Sure It's As Great As Crunch For Me But I Still Love it.
