God I miss this band - prob my fav HS song.........for anyone who's never heard it. Shit great solo too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeCbX5MlaI0

I wish theyd put Fantasy Factory on the album....that songs rocks.

Silverstein - A Shipwreck In The Sand. v nice - needs some more plays to fully sink in.

Silverstein - A Shipwreck In The Sand The Poodles - Clash Of The Elements Farcry - High Gear Hinder - Extreme Behaviour Dream Theater - Black Clouds And Silver Linings

Silverstein - A Shipwreck In The Sand (v good on first listen, esp the last 3 or 4 songs) The Poodles - Clash Of The Elements

how excellent is the end of 'Best Of Times'

I love you mate. Monster album for me mate. I played it non-stop on the way to and fro to the hospital whilst Samuel was in special care......got me through some tough times over the last week or so.

Time For Me To Fly - REO

nice list mate......i'd have the Farcry way above Sunstorm personally. ive got the Silverstein lined up for a listen this week cheers

Touch Too Much - AC/DC

I don't think anyone actually dislikes this, I certainly don't. They're good players and it's definitely fun & amusing stuff - it's just that with only humour/smutty jokes instead of killer hooks then this is not a keeper disc IMO, just a one-spin only.... Wow mate, you know I'd have your child but just how much of this have you actually heard? No hooks? Then I guess Bon Jovi, Danger Danger and the entire 80's hard rock scene had no hooks either? Mate, this is as hooky as music possibly gets. I have had not only one, but literally every single song off this in my head from the time I first heard it. I dare you to listen to 'Girl from Oklahoma' and not be singing "Come on pretty baby suck my balls all night" all weekend! I get the impression you may not have heard this but think it's some Spinal Tap / Bad News / Fozzy / The Darkness garbage. This is NOTHING like any of those, mate. This is high caliber "commercial" hard rock n' roll, just with "adventurous" lyrics. Seriously, for that price pick it up and I have a genuine feeling you might be pleasantly surprised. I have heard this right throughout mate, and I agree the music is cool 80's MHR stuff. Some of the music is killer - "Fat Girl" would be a stunning song, so would "Community Property" - but it's just so frustrating they didn't write decent/memorable lyrics to this stuff. Yeah yeah, I know stuff like DD's "Monkey Business" isn't going to win any literary awards, but at least that stuff still has some longevity & doesn't make you cringe after a couple of spins. I've seen 15 years olds spraying funnier graffiti than some of these lyrics... My overall feeling after listening to this is one of frustration - that they didn't spend as much time on the lyrics as they did the music - rather than anything else, but respect to them for some awesome music... Yeah but they did spend a lot of time on the lyrics - it is exactly how they intended the album to be. Either you like this stuff or you dont. Simple as that. Im on the fence...some tracks I think are killer like Asian Hooker and I dont really mind the lyrics.....others not so. I think we all agree that they are awesome musicians tho.

Steel Panther - Asian Hooker

Steel Panther - Feel The Steel

Good God man - have you only just listened to these?? Two of my fav albums. Stunning choruses all over the place and awesome vox. Dont go back much further in their discography as the albums before are not quite as strong IMO. Newie soon - cant wait!

Only The Children - Toto

Rambo (the newie....ish). Jesus is that one kick arse gun he's got at the end! Out done even himself in that scene.

Yeah Big Boobs was a glaring omission, especially considering it was my fave Metal Shop song, and even one of my friends who I turned onto the band last year, has commented on that song being missing. I was listening to the CD again the other night, and was specifically trying to work out who each song was parodying. A couple were obvious, some I think I have worked out but some I got stuck on. This is what I went with: Party all day - Most blatant one imo, Livin on a prayer by Jovi If I was BJ i'd sue. Taken the music and changed the lyrics.

Hot Blood Movin - Baton Rouge

Nice one mate.

Nappies, nappies..........every fuckin where

Yellowstone...nice. Always looks stunning on the TV. Have a goodun mate.

Dream On - Gotthard

I cried when I realised that Samuel had survivied in theatre a couple of weeks ago. Traumatic and joyous all at the same time.

Well done mate....a massive milestone that one.

Difficult to tell on just one song. I quite like it tho.
