    So as I've mentioned before, I'm in a period where I get to churn through a huge amount of albums that I've accumulated over the last few years and have banked up due to me being pretty busy.
    Been traveling a lot, and when I'm home, I've been walking to work and back (40 mins each way) so have had heaps of time to get through the music.

    So I've made it through over 50 albums in the last 6 months, and now I have only 9 left in my spotify.
    They are the ones I've put off as they are take a lot of listen to get into and include Revolution Saints, Jeff Scott Soto, Iron Maiden and Asking Alexandria (not sure why that one is on my list)

    So today I put Maiden on. Book Of Souls.
    I've moved away from Maiden for years now, last great album was Somewhere In Time for me, after that they got boring.

    So I'm listening to Book Of Sould for the second time, and jesus, not sure what happened to them.
    Are they classed as prog now? They sound like it.

    Only ones that have provided any hope of being any good are Tears Of A Clown, Elpire Of The Coulds, and Shadows Of The Valley (which has hope only really because of teh Wasted Years vibe)

    So wondering if they have gradually been changing, and I'm dropping back in to a prog Maiden, or maybe they just don't wrioote hooky, melodic, catchy songs any more?

    "The Red and the Black" is phenomenal.

  2. R.I.P.

    Love those first two albums.

    I always wondered why their third album and even Good Acoustics was released on a major label, when all other hair bands were dumped from the big labels by that time.

    Did he ever do anything outside of Firehouse?

  3. Glad I got to see them with Erik in front.

    All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered.

    Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.

    John says he is still in Confess as well.

    TO CLARIFY SOME STUFF!
     
    Yes, i've joined forces with Crashdiet, which feels very exciting indeed. With that being said, I’m still very much a part of confess.
    Confess is my high school Rock'n roll band that i sang in for the past 15 years and i have no intentions of leaving or changing that.
    We're currently working on new music and hopefully have something new to show you guys pretty soon.

  5. This one is not hard to guess, but still funny, again with the balls :lol:

    'Resurrection time' is killer!!! A riff with balls so large they'd not fit through the door. Absolutely killer and some of Johns best work ever! Oh, just before I go... the rest of the album is a stinking pile of shit, IMO. This is where it all started to go downhill for the very talented Mr Norum... but 'Resurrection time' is still a killer track! Amazing solo too...

  6. Cool.

    I thought the new intro to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" were made for the "Vault" album, but it says official music video in the clip above?

    I remember buying the "Vault" record and thought the intro to the song were soooo much cooler than the one on Hysteria.

    It's one of the best songs in the world btw.

  7. So, my brother came to visit last weekend, and we went down memory lane on youtube, watching some of the videos we remembered from our old VHS tapes from back in the day.

    One of the videos we wanted to watch was "Don't treat me bad" from Firehouse, turns out the video we found, was not like the one we remembered.

     

    The one we had recorded from Headbanger's Ball on our VHS tape, was this one:

     

    Are there other examples of this?

    They should separate the words. Warkings looks like Walking or Warning rather than Warkings. And Warkings would be a shit name to call your band if its pronounce as one word.

     

    Yeah, nothing like Kingofthehill which just rolls off the tongue beautifully :lol:

    Funny thing that this is brought back up as been playing 2018s Wreckfest game again the last few weeks and forgot these guys and One Desire both have two songs on the soundtrack, and it reminded me I still have not picked up their last album.

    Unsurprisingly the game developers are Finnish.

    For those who use Spotify, this is the game soundtrack

     

    Yeah, I've played that game quite a bit in the past as well, remember the soundtrack got some harsh words in the reviews I read, I guess the writers weren't too familiar with the Finnish hard rock scene :rolleyes:
