Cliquey? Really? I've never gotten that vibe at all compared to some other boards I'm on, but then again I'm not as prolific a poster as many are here. I've just not seen it. Sure, Geoff has his buddies, but I've always seen him as being buddies with just about anyone, given half a chance. I've never gotten an insider/outsider feeling with all the interaction there. If you feel that someone(s) is derailing a topic that you started and feel strongly about, by all means contact one of the mods and we can try and get it back on track. Who are you again? [KIDDING!] Mainstream bands that have been perceived as overplayed, overhyped, or played out (Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue, KISS, Van Halen, AC/DC) routinely have bullseyes painted on them. I don't think it's unique here. They're easy marks, as they've gotten the fame and the money when many equally-talented bands toiled in obscurity. And there I think is the major problem you're encountering here on the board: People here KNOW about the obscure bands that were as good as, or better than, the mainstream acts, so you're more likely to see people here taking umbrage at the mainstream bands success, than in other forums. It's because the focus here is moreso on the unknowns, the almost was's, and the never were's. I could be offbase in my assessment, but that's perhaps one reason for it. -Dan

Agreed. Jerk. Don't talk to him, he's not part of the family. Kidding, I think it's great that you're into this stuff AND you're 23, that is something that should be appreciated. Anywho... it does seem like more people are posting, and this is good. \m/ i love you both. Watch it! This is a no-cuddle zone. MAN SPOON! Things sure have changed around here, since I've been gone. I remember a time when Matt's love was reserved for Geoff and small furry animals only. He's become quite the tramp then, hasn't he... I believe the proper term is "slut".

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of JEFF SCOTT SOTO’s double live album “Live at Firefest 2008” on December 3rd 2010. Firefest has become a pivotal event in the Melodic Rock season in Europe. Born from the ashes of the ‘Gods of AOR’ festival, Firefest started in 2004 and not only did they continue the tradition of Europe’s finest Melodic Rock/AOR festivals, but exceeded all previous expectations. Not many bands have the chance to play on ‘that’ stage nowadays and when Bruce Mee and Kieran Dargan have realized the demand for particular artists to continuing rounding up annually. Jeff Scott Soto was no stranger to ‘that’ stage. He performed at the Gods festival in 2002 putting up an amazing show that was mirrored with a live CD/DVD. So when the call came to Jeff about the new and continued version of this proven festival, he wasted no time in answering “Of course!”. But not all good things come easily… “Unfortunately the date clashed with my commitments touring with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in the US for their annual Winter Tour” recalls Jeff. “This meant a week of 12 hour rehearsals in the US, leaving on a Friday to land in London on a Saturday morning, bee-line it up to Nottingham for 4 hours in traffic, meet with the band for 30 minutes, as they were wrapping up the ONLY rehearsal we had prior to the show (the last time we had played together was nearly a year prior!), straight to the venue and onstage within the next hour!” But once onstage, the warmth of the crowd and the energy transmitted by the electricity of the event was such that Jeff and his band stormed through our 70 minute set like gangbusters! It was the first time the songs from the “Beautiful Mess” album were performed in Europe and the last show the original JSS band featuring Howie Simon on guitar, Dave Dzialak on drums and Gary Schutt on bass played together. In JSS words: “Here it is in all its glory, a little extra something for you all to help me remember this wonderful night of music and memories”. “Live at Firefest 2008” tracklisting includes: CD1: 21st Century; Colour My XTC (prelude); Soul Divine; Drowning; Our Song; DD Solo; Guitar Jam; Mountain; Eyes Of Love; Testify; Broken Man. CD2: Hey; Crazy; Piano Medley (If This Is The End, Nobody Said It Was Easy, 4 U); Gin & Tonic Sky; I'll Be Waiting; Funky Medley (Play That Funky Music, Jungle Boogie, The Roof Is On Fire, Brick House, Shake Your Booty, Kung Fu Fighting, Yo Baby Yo, Macho Man, Ice Ice Baby, Stayin’ Alive, Another One Bites The Dust, Walk This Way, My Love, My Friend) The songs “21st Century” and “Eyes Of Love” can exclusively be listened in full in streaming on the Frontiers Web radio.

Nah. I always thought that Udo Dirkschneider should have been the choice for Journey's next vocalist.

Daniele Liverani & friends return to Melodic Rock as a « PRIME SUSPECT » Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of PRIME SUSPECT debut album on December 3rd 2010. PRIME SUSPECT is a new melodic rock combo formed by Daniele Liverani, Tommy Ermolli and Dario Ciccioni, three Italian musicians who came to the attention of the Melodic Rock crowd thanks to their performances on the three KHYMERA releases. Liverani, the most experienced musician of the lot, had a long career in the Italian HR/HM scene releasing albums with the Prog Metal groups EMPTY TREMOR and TWINSPIRITS and also with the GENIUS Rock Opera in 3 chapters, showcasing an international all star cast of singers including Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation), Mark Boals, DC Cooper (ex Royal Hunt) and many more. Since the KHYMERA last two albums saw the bulk of the songwriting from the brothers Tom and James Martin, Liverani started to put together some Melodic Rock tracks which could live on the quality of arrangement and performance of the previous KHYMERA releases. "The awesome songwriting of the Martin Brothers for the Khymera albums I've been arranging and producing inspired me a lot and that's why I decided to accept the challenge of writing some original material in the more Melodic Rock style” says Daniele Liverani presenting the new album. “I would say that Prime Suspect is a combination of what I've been learining with Khymera and my personal style and I have been thrilled with the result... It's been very refreshing to work on this record, and it's been awesome as usual to work all the musicians involved, that provided great performances and the right sound for this new challenge". After a few demos, the three musicians started looking for a suitable singer who could gel with the material written and the search was over when Olaf Senkbeil, fron the german band DREAMTIDE, came into the picture. The icing on the cake was offered by the Swedish songwriter Christian Wolff (On The Rise, Johnny Lima, Mecca) who contributed with two songs “What Do You Want” and “It Could’ve Been You” for the amazing final result. "Basically there's a lot of classic melodic rock inside the tunes" tells Liverani "but the sound is very modern and powerful with a touch of experimentation that comes from my Progressive experience. That's an interesting combination that hopefully the listeners will find interesting and entertaining" A brilliant debut album which offers a contemporary and European sounding / flavoured Melodic Rock, which is granted to appeal to the fans of KHYMERA, LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM and class AOR music. “Prime Suspect” tracklisting includes: What Do You Want; I’ll Be Fine; Change This World; I Never Knew; I Would Like To Reach The Sun; It Could’ve Been You; Hear Me Calling; Deep In My Heart; So Strange; Watch Me. The songs “What Do You Want” and “Change This World” can exclusively be listened in full in streaming on the Frontiers Web radio.

In the movie "Airheads", the band "Suns of Thunder" started playing a track onstage, "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful", that sounded like it would have awesome hooks (despite the band/song being trashed by the main characters of the movie). The song, or what little portion we hear, was performed by The Galactic Cowboys. The references I see in Wikipedia, etc., claim that this song was never released anywhere. So here's the question: does the song exist in its complete form? If so, where? I'd love to hear the full version. -Dan P.S. What a stupid, yet incredibly awesome movie. Beginning of the song can be caught in this clip from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9JyMPI4dNM&feature=related

Hmmm... as a general rule, we don't lock threads, regardless of how old they are, so anyone is free to dredge them up at any time. The only exception is the Retrospect Records forum, which is set to read-only.... and no, I'm not reopening that. -Dan

Fappy birthday! No wait, that's something else entirely...

I suck at doing interviews and I hate it. I'm an introvert at heart and the less I have to deal with those icky people thingies, the better. I did formal reviews early on and found it to be a thankless task that had no upside. If you gush then people think you're in bed with labels/bands. If you're overly critical then the labels/bands take you to task or threaten to not send you any more material. You're continuously trying to walk a fine line trying to make everyone happy, and it simply can't be done effectively. More importantly, I've always been of the opinion that so-called "expert reviews" are useless. What makes person A's opinion of a CD any more or less valid than person B's opinion? What is more useful is to gain a wide variety of opinions about a CD from different sources, and thus be able to glean some sort of consensus of opinion. That's why the comment section on the main site is so useful. Both of the above endeavors take a lot of time on an ongoing basis to do well, a commodity I simply don't have a lot of these days. If it's a feature/addition that I can program that in effect runs itself, that I can do, but anything that's high-maintenance or that requires a regular ongoing commitment in order to work is going to be a problem. I don't mean to be critical, and they're good ideas, but I have to work within the realistic constraints that I have. I appreciate the effort that you and Ty and especially Mike make to the site and board, but even those tasks are such that, if you needed to a month or two away, the site wouldn't come to a screeching halt. It's somewhat self-perpetuating, with much of the content user-generated, which was a deliberate choice. Sites like melodicrock, et al., that are structured around daily or weekly news, rumor, releases, etc., require a certain sense of immediacy to be effective. If a few weeks go by without CDs being added here at HH, it's not going to kill the site... the site is based on a wealth of data, not the time sensitivity of that data. Don't have that luxury with a news- or interview-based site. Good thoughts though. -Dan

The new British Melodic Rock sensation VEGA is about to take the scene by storm ! Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of VEGA's debut album "Kiss of Life" on December 3rd in Europe. VEGA is a band that formed in may 2009 from the union of former KICK vocalist Nick Workman with the successful and respected song writing partnership of Tom and James Martin (House of Lords, Ted Poley of Danger Danger, Khymera, Sunstorm to name but a few), VEGA is a new band but rest assured they are about to take the Melodic Rock world by storm! Their debut album “Kiss of Life” has been produced by John Greatwood (engineer for Tom Lord Alge of QUEEN fame) and mastered by the one and only Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69) and features 12 rock songs which mix classic Bon Jovi and Def Leppard, with a pinch of U2 and Journey. "We wear our love of 80’s rock music on our sleeve, but we also have injected our love of modern rock music to it" says Tom Martin. "We aren’t trying to rehash anything: the sound we have achieved is 100% VEGA. We didn’t want to try and guess what people expect and get it wrong. Normally when we write songs we have the control over the lyrics/melodies but this time with Vega we left Nick to this part because we really rate him as a songwriter and he did a fantastic job with this on Kick's albums, so we knew he could make our sound more unique and make it a bit different from the AOR songs we write". Tom and James met Nick 10 years ago when KICK was supporting Thunder on the first of their farewell tours. In the time that followed, the guys had always wanted to work with Nick, and opportunity came when the two brothers and drummer Dan Chantrey met Nick for a second time at a U.K. rock festival. Conversations about movies and music finally moved on to the all important question…..”When are we going to work together?“. The answer ended up being the next day, and VEGA was born. The chemistry between the guys was obvious and two brothers became four! VEGA wrote 25 songs in the coming months and chose the best songs for recording. No expense was spared and a top UK recording studio was booked and in John Greatwood a producer with numerous UK and European top 10 albums and singles was on board! Following recording and mixing in October, Dennis Ward stepped up to the plate to put the final touches to the album, mastering it in his studio in Germany. Get ready to experience the band live! "We do have a couple of gigs confirmed and others that we are waiting on" says singer Nick Workman. "We will support Danny Vaughn at Dudley JB’s on December 10th, the week the album comes out. As we were going to be rehearsed for that it would be silly not to do another gig, so we booked a date at The Yardbird’s the night before to blow out the cobwebs!! It’s going to be a lot of fun to play these songs live" You can expect VEGA to be on many people's best of list of 2010 even if the album will be released almost... out of time ! "Kiss of Life" tracklisting includes: Into The Wild; Kiss Of Life; One Of A Kind; Staring At The Sun; Too Young For Wings; A.N. Other; Headlights; Hearts Of Glass; Stay With Me; Wonderland; What It Takes; S.O.S. - Kiss Of Life (videoclip) The songs “Into The Wild” and “Kiss Of Life” can exclusively be listened in full in streaming on the Frontiers Web radio.

I think that a lot of people are moving on to other things. The economy sucking certainly doesn't help. I know that I personally don't have anywhere near as much time to work on the site as I used to. Interestingly enough, the traffic to the main site hasn't gone down; just the board itself. So how do we spruce things up? What changes (that wouldn't require a boatload of man hours) do you think would improve the place and/or possibly draw people in? I don't go onto other forums and promote the board here, as that's considered poor etiquette, tantamount to spamming. -Dan

Farve looks asstacular tonight. What a fucked up season it is when the Vikings and Cowboys are at the bottom and the Chiefs and Buccaneers are at the top.

Just added audio samples for all tracks from the following: Allen-Lande - The Showdown Asia - Spirit of the Night Nelson - Lightning Strikes Twice Strangeways - Perfect World The Poodles - No Quarter Unruly Child - Worlds Collide http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/audio.cgi

NELSON celebrate the 20th Anniversary of "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection” hitting n.1 in Billboard announcing the release of their new album “Lightning Strikes Twice” On September 29th 1991 NELSON reached the height of the US Single charts with their evergreen hit “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love And Affection”. Their music has stood the test of time and now 20 years later Matthew and Gunnar Nelson explore fresh creative territory in the present with their new album, “Lightning Strikes Twice” scheduled for first release in Europe on November 5th, with US and Asian release to follow. Magical melodic songwriting and soaring sibling harmonies continue to ensure that this dynamic duo is still a vital part of the music scene’s future. The new album goes straight back to the absolute brilliance of NELSON’s first album, hence the title and an amazing set of songs that are going to restore the faith in NELSON. “After the Rain” was the debut multi-platinum album by NELSON in the early 1990s. They zoomed to number one with their hit song, "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection,” which made history landing America’s iconic Nelson family (bandleader Ozzie Nelson, rock legend Rick Nelson, and twins Matthew & Gunnar) into the Guinness Book of World Records as the ONLY family in Entertainment with 3 successive generations of #1 hitmakers. NELSON’s “After the Rain” record and tour became a phenomenon just prior to the rise of grunge. The last major success of the good time rock’n’roll era, NELSON has had (1) Number One, (4) Top Ten, and (5) Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit singles, plus (5) #1 MTV videos and has sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide! Nelson has always been synonymous with entertainment in America. Matthew and Gunnar follow Ozzie Nelson’s vision of embracing connecting with people and audiences through all forms of media. They have been doing television-hosting work for VH1 and E! Gunnar is also a standout reality TV star with VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club”. Plus, Gunnar co-hosted LIFETIME Radio’s nationally syndicated morning show. A&E channel’s Nelson Family “Biography” episode is still one of the top-rated ‘Biography’ installments. Matthew & Gunnar embraced this fascination by creating a touring show to celebrate the TV Nelsons and the amazing career of their legendary father, Ricky, for whom LIFE magazine coined the phrase “Teen idol”. They share video clips & tell stories about their Hollywood family and perform their Pop’s music live to audiences in RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED while separately touring as NELSON. NELSON has been headlining at major rock festivals around the globe celebrating the 20th anniversary of “After the Rain”. Touring in China, the U.K. and of course the U.S. where they have also toured extensively with Peter Frampton and Styx. In October 2010 the band will head to the UK to headline day 2 of the Firefest festival appearing with label mates Jimi Jamison, Lynch Mob, Strangeways, Pretty Maids amongst others. A world tour at the beginning of 2011 will follow. "’Lightning Strikes Twice’ has allowed us creatively, artistically and musically to resolve some unfinished business," Gunnar says. "We’ve had a blast going into the studio writing and performing some of our best songs. Plus, being back on the road with NELSON is living the dream all over again. New fans are discovering our music and original fans have shown incredible support all over the world. It ROCKS!” Matthew adds, “Who could believe we would be doing a NELSON sequel to ‘After the Rain” twenty years later? Gunnar and I feel it’s our best work to date and should live up to its name ‘Lightning Strikes Twice’. We believe NELSON fans will agree with that forecast and hope they feel it’s been worth the long wait.” “Lightning Strikes Twice” tracklisting includes: Call Me; Day By Day; Ready, Willing and Able; How Can I Miss You?; You’re All I Need Tonight; To Get Back To You; When You’re Gone; Take Me There; Come; In It For The Money; Change a Thing; Kickin’ My Heart Around. The first single “You’re All I Need Tonight” and “Call Me” can exclusively be listened in full in streaming on the Frontiers Web radio.

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of THE POODLES live package including the “No Quarter” CD and “In The Flesh” DVD on November 5th 2010. Having carved in stone their reputation as prime time entertainers with the release of three acclaimed studio albums and over 350 shows in the entire Europe in the past few years, not counting Gold and Platinum record awards in their home country, THE POODLES close the first chapter of their musical adventure and set their sails for the next step. As a tribute to the first years on the road, THE POODLES offer the fans a live package including a CD and a DVD recorded during the “Clash of the Elements” tour in 2009, which portrays the band in the most natural environment: the live show. “The high points for us as a band is anytime we go on stage”, says guitar player Henrik Bergqvist. “This may sound like somewhat of a cliché but it is no less true. It doesn't matter if we play a crowd of 10.000 people at Graspop or in front of a handful on a rainy November Monday in Copenhagen, those are the moments we relish and live for. We've had so many special moments on stage over the past couple of years that it seems impossible to single even a few of them out. Having said this, some special moments can certainly be seen on the live DVD and heard on the live CD”. “We are very proud of how the live CD and live DVD turned out and we feel that they really shows what the band is like on stage” continues Bergqvist, “being able to watch a DVD of your favourite band is great and there are a few really nice ones out there, but the connection that takes place between the band and the crowd during live shows cannot be formatted to the screen. You can catch a glimpse of it, but to experience a band live will always be different from listening to or viewing a recording of that band. Have a look and see for yourselves, though!” Aptly titled “In The Flesh” the DVD is a real in deep look at the Poodles style of life with in-deep interviews, that present each band member, behind-the stage instant footage and a collection of the promo videoclips shot for the “Clash of the Elements” promotion. In addition, a selection of the band’s classic cuts performed live shows that the Poodles are delivering the goods when the play live. The live cd, soundtrack of the DVD, plus the song “Lullaby For Jimmy” as cd exclusive, shows that behind the look and the words there is a solid band playing great music! Henrik concludes: “The future plans for The Poodles is closely connected to the band's cooperation with Frontiers Records. The band expects to play for an ever expanding audience as a result of it and take the mission of Heavy Metal to virgin lands. We want to see our beloved fans again on the road and make new friends too. The future is bright for us, and that's good because we already wear shades!” The live CD “No Quarter” tracklisting includes: Too Much Of Everything; Caroline; Seven Seas; Metal Will Stand Tall; Like No Tomorrow; One Out Of Ten; Lullaby For Jimmy; Drum Solo; Echoes From The Past; Thunderball; I Rule The Night; Night Of Passion; Flesh & Blood; Line Of Fire. The Live DVD “In The Flesh” table of contents include: Movie: Introduction; Stockholm, Party & Fun; About The Poodles; Metal Standing Tall; The Director & Crew; Being On Top; Jakob; Henrik; Pontus; Kicken; The First Five Rows; Tribute To The Fans; End Credits. Concert: Too Much Of Everything; Caroline; Seven Seas; Metal Will Stand Tall; Like No Tomorrow; One Out Of Ten; Echoes From The Past; Thunderball; I Rule The Night; Night Of Passion; Flesh & Blood; Line Of Fire. Extras: Like No Tomorrow (Video); I Rule The Night (Video); In The Flesh (Video); Warrior (The Movie Trailer); Majestic Film And Metal Warriors The DVD will be released in NTSC Region Free format with Screen 16:9 and Mix in 2.0. There will also be a limited release of a luxury packaging including the live CD “No Quarter” and the DVD “In The Flesh” is a luxury digipak edition. “In The Flesh” trailer can be enjoyed following this link on Youtube: The songs “One Out Of Ten” and “Caroline” can exclusively be listened in full in streaming on the Frontiers Web radio.

Interesting. I guess there are multiple "exclusive" versions out there. The 2 "exclusive" tracks on iTunes are: 1. Fucked Up Situation 2. Porn Star Dancing (looks to be an extended mix of the Ludacris version) The 2 "exclusive" tracks on the Best Buy CD are: 1. Without You (great ballad!) 2. Still Worth Fighting For

Special Edition CD + DVD version is on sale this week at Best Buy for $9.99. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woRaHKNEs8Y

Out today here in the states. Best Buy has an exclusive version with 2 bonus tracks, on sale this week for $7.99. For Geoff however, assuming he hasn't yet heard (or seen it), the single that's been getting a lot of airplay here is "Porn Star Dancing". Personally, I think it's catchy as heck. Very Nickelbackish at times. The first time I heard it on Octane, I couldn't get the damned chorus out of my head. Very infectious; definitely sticks with you. Two versions. First a rock version with Zakk Wylde: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Fnet0y9Ts Second, an extended version with Ludacris: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdaKwt5cHEk&feature=channel
