While I won't complain about anything new/unreleased by Billy, it pisses me off that they don't just do some kinda compilation album of them or a box set. I bought Rebel Yell last time it was re-released with bonus tracks, and several of the songs were either alternate versions or demos of songs already on the album. If they knew this shit existed, this is what they should have put on it.

With the length of his career as a solo artist and with Generation X, I reckon they would have enough unreleased stuff to fill at least a double album.

He sounds exactly like him

As of 30th April

Thats just it I'm in the middle really most music on that site is heavier than me but yet this 1 is more softer than I like ...lol. 

The thing is that site is kinda a mixed bag with some borderline stuff. Stuff like Iron Maiden, Saxon, some Sabbath, Dio and a lot of early Priest really are not that heavy and kinda straddle the heavy and melodic spectrum but everything has to go somewhere. And lets face it a lot of people call Scorpions "metal" but they are on HH not BM. All down to how people judge what genre they belong in.

Even bands like Twisted Sister, WASP or Fozzy could fit on Brutal Metal as well as Heavy Harmonies.

Done

No idea why, but for some reason I thought Audioslave was already on HH. I concur; I believe they are a definite fit. 👍

Ok, I will pull the CDs and submit them

Me, myself & I don't care about any of those bands listed but I'm obviously odd man on this site .... but at same time I'm right on the edge of liking metal not quite all the way over..... but I know some stuff I listen too wouldn't be on here either. I'm in the middle I guess.

The more metal stuff has its own database https://brutalmetal.com Just in case you had not spotted it.

There is one band I do think should be added that while not on the list, is connected to one of those bands and that is Audioslave. Cornell is a fantastic vocalist, but Soundgarden does not belong here, and only some of his solo stuff does, but the three Audioslave albums should defo be considered.

If Alter Bridge is in the database, Audioslave should certainly be there.

Kid Rock is/was great in his southern rock phase, but as much as I like that I don't think he really belongs here.

I'd rather have stuff like Bowling For Soup on the site than all of those bands on the list, and I ain't even convinced they belong either.

Scorpions - Acoustica

Seeing as I saw them again last night, a live track rather than studio

After a few listens my opinion has not changed, but I will say they really did Vince dirty in the mix. Can hardly hear him at points. While yeah his vocals are shit live, on record they do studio magic so not sure why his vocals are buried.

Ok, well this at least made me laugh. Tracii just posted it on Twitter and said "Guns N Moses are back" So that is one positive about it.

It's about time !!

I actually bought the CD when it came out in 2019, and have to say I really am not that fussed about the bonus tracks. The studio track has been downloadable for four years now, and never interested in live tracks. For anyone who didn't get the Jap import this is defo a win as it's pretty damn cheap as well.

Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan.

It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks.

One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single.

Posted the first few videos when they dropped but realised I had not posted about the album, which is probably as I can't afford it. Not only is the CD $20 ($30 signed), but the postage to the UK is $46.25, which is by far the most anyone from the USA has tried to charge. Their answer when I questioned this was "We don't control the postal system". Now I know US prices are high on postage, but not this high. $30 seems to be the norm these days, but I have had two CD orders from the USA that have cost $9 and $5 (not sure how but I aint complaining).

Anyway, the album is already out

“Dogs of War”

 

While it isnt terrible, its also not great. Pretty meh really.

Sounds better than anything Boring Jovi has put out for a while, and defo better than the turd that was RSO.

I miss Richies voice.

Who really give a shit about poor Mick?

 

Anyone with a brain and common sense.

Did they do Mick shitty? Absolutely.

With that said, I’m still damn interested to hear what they’ve come up with,  with John 5’s input. Hopefully it’ll be damn good. 🤞 

I have heard a small snippet, or at least thats what someone claims it is, and I am divided. Sounded nothing like Crue.

John 5 claims Nikki has shown him songs that sound like demos from the first two albums, but I really doubt anything they record now will sound anything like that. Just wish Sixx would write modern stuff for outside projects like Sixx AM and keep Motley sounding like Motley.
