Only 4 tracks

4 out of 11 tracks is still quite a few. If it was one or two, yeah that would not be many, but four is 36% of the songs that were supposed to be on it.

Lyric video

Be interesting to see who they are "teaming up with" and whether that will bring the fucking prices down.

Gotthard - Defrosted 2

The third album will never happen. Quite a few tracks for it have showed their faces on various band members solo albums over the years already. Plus the only way it would get released is if the record label either releases it themselves (highly unlikely) or gives up the masters and rights to the songs (unlikely) or the band completely re-records them (once again, unlikely).

Funnily enough I was reading up on this a few days ago.

Where the fuck is Matti Alfonzetti? 

It's been a while since I've heard anything about him. He should be more prominent. 

One the the best Vocalists in the business.

Here's a couple. One early, one later, both quality. 

 

 

 

 

I think he had mostly been doing stuff with Skintrade in recent times, but he did post on FB a month or so ago that they were laying the band to rest.

"ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END,,,,,

As of yesterday we have decided to disband and to put Skintrade to its final rest. We want to sincerely thank our fans for sticking with us throughout the years and we have nothing but respect and love for you guys.This is a joint and completely amicable decision by all members of the band . We look forward to seeing you all again in some other shape or form soon .

Peace , love and respect

Skintrade"

 

He also did what I think was a solo album back in 2021 called Shake my blood. Only physical copies were available at shows, otherwise digital only and he says he does not know if he will have anymore copies made.

I know a few people on here won't listen to songs unless they are sung in English, but I have always been of the mind that as long as it sounds good, listening to foreign language songs is not different to listening to an instrumental.

Some of my more recent foreign language bands have included Indian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish (Mexican variant), but in the last week or so I have been listening to a lot of Mongolian rock. It's very different compared to most rock and metal as they use traditional Mongolian instruments, but fuck me some of it is catchy.

First band that introduced me is The Hu (not The Who). And from that I also found Uuhai.

The Hu have been getting quite a lot of attention recently and a few of their songs were reworked for deluxe editions of their albums, including western singers from the likes of Halestorm and Papa Roach among others.

Original:

Rework

Gun - Hombres (signed)

$43 against the £95 for the Black Sabbath 4CD boxsets which come with no bonus material (well as far as songs go) ... just reinforces how much of a rip off any of those Sabbath sets are.

Was just listening to this cd yesterday...great minds eh? (maybe not  )

I keep meaning to pick up the album, but had that song since the early 90s on a Metal Hammer compilation.

After a first spin I have to say it's ok but not great. Beyond a few songs it doesn't really sound like classic Gun. Will probably take a few more spins to fully dig in.

Three songs from the killer "Von Groove" '92 album "Once in a Lifetime".

A great band that features a Drummer as Lead Vocalist. 

There's a few examples of that, but it's fairly uncommon. 

 

 

 

 

Love Once is not enough. I remember buying the Japanese version around 2002/2003 as I saw it cheap on eBay. Friend of mine had a radio show at the time and she would often play Lily so though I would give them a go even though it wasn't on this album. Bought their entire catalogue except Mission man, seeing as it was essentially the same album as Chameleon. Then they just seemed to vanish off the face of the Earth.

Only other singing drummers I can think of off the top of my head are Ted Poley, Paulina Villarreal, Micky Dolenz, Karen Carpenter, Don Henley, Ringo Starr (although saying he sang is stretching it), Roger Taylor & Phi Collins.

Of course their are drummers who left drumming to sing like Dave Grohl.
