Glen

virtually impossible to cover guns n Roses as axl voice so unique

Heat - Beg beg beg

I absolutely love that

terrible inspiro garbage 🗑

don't get the dislike for IV ? Full of great songs imo. Right up ahead, great escape, disappear. livin just to die, short flight & can't take it back are all especially great for me.

IV is possibly my fav Winger album

Karma was hardly progressive lol

much prefer 1989 by Nestor

hopefully seeing them in March

gives them a chance to eat 8 hotdogs 🌭 and 10 portions of fries 🍟 👊

Japan's pens were utter shite WTF are Korea doing at the back? going 3 on 3 against Brazil. Footie suicide

fought hard but Argies could have 2 or 3 at the end. Australia had a chance or 2 themselves. Can leave the tournament proud 👏

meh

Germany & Begium are and have been poor for a while now. There was no interest in Germany (in general not the die hard fans) as they gave their side no real chance and they were right. Belgium side is too old now. As for US, they have always performed well in major champs. Australia have out performed for sure. But I'll be gobsmacked if Argentina don't despatch them

comparing this to Defiants is ridiculous- Defiants is just D2 under a different name And it will probably be best album of 2023

beautiful, all in their prime

Well u don't like old school metal do you. lol

best synthwave 2022

Well I love my top 10 and it was basically impossible separating them. All killer albums imo.

shame you missed Skid Row. They were great back then

Almost impossible to separate my top 10 as most could easily swap position (especially 1 & 2 !!). But I gave it a go. 1. Threshold - Dividing Lines Only just recently released but this was always going to be a huge album for me. 5 yrs since the release of Shires but the wait was worth it. This is a masterpiece in my opinion - melody, lyrics, vocals, musicianship, hooks all amazing. 2. Ghost - Imperia For a long while this was top of the pack and was definitely my most listened to album of 2022. The last 2 Ghost albums were amazing and this is no different. Great production, arrangements - this something really different and unique. Best gig of 2022 as well - their show at London O2 was stunning 3. Muse - Will of the People Biggest surprise of the year. Never would have imagined that a Muse album would feature in my best of list let alone end up no 3!! Easily their best album to date , love every track. Short at just 37 mins, but I love that. No filler, all killer album. Brilliant lyrics and subject matter as well 4. VHS Collection - Night Drive Never has an album title been so accurate. This album is made for night time driving - just an awesome vibe, brilliant songs. Top job all round 5. Alter Bridge - Pawns & Kings Monumental metal album. Dark, deep lyrically, crunching Tremonti riffs. Love it. 6 Kissin Dynamite - Not The End of the Road Another surprise for me. Never been the biggest KD fan but man they nailed it on this. Barely a filler in sight and easily the best pure melodic rock album of 2022 7. Degreed - Are You Ready Another top quality album from one of my fav bands. Really hate the song Radio though which keeps this out of the top 5 8. Dan Reed Network - Let's Hear it for the King I do dearly love this album, and agonised a bit over its placing, but the albums above are just too good. Massive return to form and I pretty much love every track with 'I See Angels' probably bring my fav ballad of 2022 9. Cats in Space - Kickstart the Sun Another album which could be top 5 on any given day. Just a couple of weaker tracks pull it down slightly but stuff like the title track & Smoke & Mirrors are top drawer. Brilliant vocals as well. 10. Iron Allies - Blood In Blood Out Late addition to my top 10 but my God this album is awesome! Best thing Reece has been on in years and old school metal album of the year imo. Just crunching metal and sensational solos. Go to gym album So now we come to honourable mentions - in no order - all v good albums in their own right : Reckless Love - excellent attempt at synthwave Chez Kane - another great 80s throwback Skid Row - Erik breaths new life into old dogs Palace - great bunch of feel good songs Crashdiet - best album since GW Treat - more great modern melodic rock Black Swan - better than the debut Ultraboss - v nice synthwave album Ronnie Atkins - Bit of a dip but still v nice Young Gun Silver Fox - best Westcoast 2022 Do there you go, 20 great albums which I would recommend. I really good year in music with a few surprises for me. 👍

wowser, great story. And to see Phil as well. Never saw Lizzy or Lynott solo

Today is exactly 40 years since my first ever gig. I was 12 yrs old 30th Nov 1982, Gillan Magic tour at Cliffs Pavilion with Spider supporting. I'd be interested what you guys first gig was and what date? 🍺

be closer than that. They're rough imo. Only stuck 2 past Qatar. We'll see

USA Holland should be interesting
