Love that Heir Apparent album. It's been re-mastered I think. They would probably have been my pick as a Geoff Tate clone, but I guess there are probably dozens of bands out there who sound similar.
-
The first song sounds real nice - not too sure about 'Give it all' - any recommendations where to buy this for a good price?
The cheapest I can find is on E-Bay from the AOR Blvd Records seller. It's about Au$11 but I'm not sure what they want for postage. Wishing Well has it for $15.

Where Do We Go From Here
Just listening to this for the first time. For those who don't know of David A Saylor, he is best known as a member of Push (UK), the band who released 'Strange World' back in 2010. He also contributed backing vocals on Atlantic - Power. City of Angels is his first solo album, and I have to say it contains some very nice songs that will definitely appeal to the AOR fans out there. The song 'Inside Love' is amazing!!
Here's a couple of exerts from other reviews:
"...his first solo album… which is a pure AOR, with lots of Westcoast & pop elements, release. How pure huh? Well, just bring artists like: Jimi Jamison, Steve Perry, Richard Marx, Tim Feehan, John Farnham, Stan Bush & Bob Halligan among others on your mind… and you’ve got the picture of how this album sounds like." - from Grande Rock
"His first solo album is a gem for classic 80s AOR lover, cause it is pure 80s AOR sound from the likes of Bob Halligan, Robert Tepper and Steve Perry. Keyboards all over the place should give AOR fans a run for their money and his voice is simply stunning" - from NEH Records

Very nice!

Cool song!!! Hey Nick, what was the name of the book about this band?
-
Happy birthday mate (-:

Sounds good, nice find.
-
Cool songs, will definitely look into picking up their first album.
"Joan Red guitarist Shawn Morgan has posted an update on Facebook which states that Joan Red are not over and will continue after the death of vocalist Anthony Basurto in 2011. He has also stated that he has come across previously unreleased material that will now be released to fans."

Wow, really cool song, would love to hear more.

I use a program called CDex for ripping from CD's. It's an older program (2009) though you can easily update to the latest version of the lame encoder. It's simple to use and very customisable in terms of rip quality and file/tag naming conventions. I rip everything at CBR 320 kbps. With the size of storage devices these days I don't see any reason to rip at lower quality. I know a lot of people are now ripping to FLAC but I think these files are too big. Other programs I use are MP3-Tag Studio 3 to sort out all my tags and MediaMonkey Gold to organise and play my music. The combination of these 3 programs is all I need.
I think Windows Media Player and I-Tunes are terrible programs. They're good in that they take away a lot of the manual work in sorting out a music collection, but they are sometimes a little too clever for their own good.

Would it be a good idea to have a 'bootleg' section on the main site?
I reckon it would.... people could comment on the sound quality, the packaging, and people would know what stuff out there has been booted.
Wouldn't that kind of be like endorsing bootlegs then?
no, not at all.
we have a bootlegs thread on here, and does that endorse bootlegs? definitely not.
i think it does almost the opposite,... it makes people aware of what has been bootlegged so they are informed on what they are buying.
people who buy bootlegs are gonna by them anyway. It's the unaware that would benefit.
the listing could even point out how to spot the bootleg compared to an original.
Good idea, I like it!

Does anyone remember these magazines from the 90's. Not sure when they started exactly but they have lots of cool bands in them. I just picked up issue 17 with bands like Hardline, 21 Guns, BB Steal and Giant. Would be interested in buying more of these if anyone wants to sell them. Just shoot me a PM.
-
I have to admit to owning the Taylor Swift album- sorry
-
Yeah, a pretty cool band. They've already been mentioned a couple of times on these forums. I'd have to say that they don't do the album justice when they play live.
-
Excellent track, can't wait for the album!
-
You can download it from here: http://www.multiupload.com/SQLMQJNF7Y
Thanks mate! I'll check it out.
-
Saw this one just sold for a very ridiculous $430 with comparisons to Jagged Edge, Von Groove, Blue Murder, Riverdogs, Voodoo X, Silent Rage and Lion. Any thoughts on this one from people here?
-
VAIN , yes the band fronted by non other than the legendary Davy Vain looks set to tour Australia around mid 2012
support acts for one of the shows if not all looks set to be none other than White Widdow
Wow, that's the best news I ever heard in my life!
Should be a great show, hope I can make it.

So did anyone who was going to Soundwave Revolution buy a ticket for Counter Revolution?
If you're a modern rock fan, for me, it still features most of what I would have gone to see at Soundwave Revolution anyway. The major glowing exception is Steel Panther. And I'll also miss The Used, Framing Hanley, Madina Lake and In This Moment. But I'll survive that. The bands that are still playing at Counter Revolution are as follows:
PANIC! AT THE DISCO
ALL TIME LOW
YELLOWCARD
STORY OF THE YEAR
FACE TO FACE
THE DAMNED THINGS
SET YOUR GOALS
FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND
HELLOGOODBYE
D.R.U.G.S.
THE PRETTY RECKLESS
YOUNG GUNS
THIS PROVIDENCE
GO RADIO
MAKE DO AND MEND
ALESANA
THE SWELLERS
WE ARE THE IN CROWD
WE ARE THE OCEAN
TERRIBLE THINGS
The other cool thing about this one, is that all the bands I didn't know of I checked out, just 'cause it seemed to be a line-up of pretty similar type bands. And I found at least 5 bands there I've bought CDs from now, and will hopefully get to see too, depending on the schedule.
Cool, didn't know about this. Are they playing all cities?

KEEL vs KIX vs HELIX
in Music Polls and "Best of" Lists
Posted
Seems to be very mixed reults on this one - I went with Kix - they're a just a good fun rock band. Keel 2nd as I love their first two albums and Helix last mainly because I haven't heard much from them but that's not to say their bad.
