Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.

Judas Priest - Invincible Shield (New album coming March 2024)

I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. -
Judas Priest - Invincible Shield (New album coming March 2024)
whiplash1972 replied to whiplash1972's topic in Heavy Metal
I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍 -
Been listening to this one on and off since Friday, and must say I'm VERY impressed. This is easily his best solo release in my opinion, and is much more melodic than his work with Creed. This one might just be this years equivalent to Godsmack for me personally i.e. late 90s musicians going in a more melodic direction and it working quite well!

First, I'd recommend starting a YouTube page, uploading your songs there, and hash tagging some similar bands in your description to possibly draw in some new listeners. Second, set up a Bandcamp page. People will be able to listen to and purchase your album there. Third, and this is nitpicky, but you seem to be presenting yourself as melodic rock, when you're closer in sound to classic metal; perhaps look at getting your disc into the hands of people who regularly do metal reviews. Not saying that some folks here might not appreciate your music, but you may be going after the wrong target audience, Just my opinion there...

From the Newman FB page: Newman are very excited to reveal the artwork and the release date for their new album "Colour In Sound". The UK Melodic Rock band was formed back in 1997 by Steve Newman and quickly gained a great reputation after releasing their debut, and subsequent "One Step Closer" albums. A string of high quality releases have ensued throughout the last 20 years insuring a strong and loyal following. Highly respected by fans and fellow musicians alike, this new album will add to the bands great legacy and underline the reason why Newman are considered to be one of the UK's top Melodic Rock artists. The new studio album (Newman's 14th) will be released through AOR BLVD Records on May 24th. A new single and video will be released in the coming weeks, watch this space for further news.

ADV parts ways with Frontiers Music !
whiplash1972 replied to nyoilers's topic in General Music Discussion
So you know what ADV was being paid for his work at Frontiers? Referring to the “pittance of money on offer” implies that you do and feel that it’s an inadequate amount for the tasks performed. -

AC/DC - Back in Black with Bon Scott on vocals (AI)
whiplash1972 posted a topic in AOR and Hard Rock
Once again, AI is amazing and kinda scary at the same time. It is pretty surreal to listen and imagine “what if” Bon hadn’t died. -
