they certainly are not sleaze glam and are nothing like nickleback. theres a thread in the aor/hard rock forum about them already.

Probably because it is a terrible song and there is not a band on the planet that could make it sound even listenable. As for this thread, I think it's safe to say Mike covered it thoroughly. Many, many tunes in those lists I enjoy. ¬¬ Okay mate, you have me totally stumped with that one. Was that a typo? What are those keys? Are they even from a keyboard? Please ease my confusion! Well obviously its this key ¬

On top of the 3 songs on the Balls of fury album and the one from The Hills Have Eyes, I have just managed to source four more tracks. Loudlion theme Lion eyes In the lions den Dawn of the dead All good songs!!! Think they are just as old as the other songs, so still not getting my hopes up for an album.

Oh, and gotta love two great covers by Lawnmower Deth. Kids in America and Crazy Horses.

Jaded Heart - Paid my dues is an absolute monster. Also love Yngwies version of Gimme gimme gimme.

With the amount of cheap unauthorised releases that are now available, you have to give it to bands like Motorhead etc, as there seems to be a new live album released every couple of weeks.

Not a bad album at all. Certainly a lot catchier than Treat for me, but still not a match for Reckless Love, Ratt and Jettblack.

And even before that, when I was listening to their dicography recently and reading through the booklets - it seemed as though someone else had played bass on most of the actual albums, only to have Gaines return just in time for the band photo in the CD booklet and following gigs? From what I remember, he quit mid way through the recording of To Hell With The Devil (I think he contributed some of the bass tracks, and Brad Cobb the others), but rejoined again just before it was released, purely as a touring bassist. I dont think he played on In God We Trust at all, but was still their touring bassist. He did though return to the studio for Against the law, but wast on the cover of Shining Star, for some reason.

Listening to those samples, it sounds exactly what I would expect of a band following up their debut album nearly 20 years later. Its not got the same attitude as the first album as very few people are the same people they were 20 years ago, meaning they have new views on life. Stylisticly though, it sounds spot on.

Quite frankly the term glam punk annoys me somewhat, as punk was not about a singular sound, it was about attitude and an image. If you listen to the true punk bands of the 70s, then you would notice that of the bigger bands, none of them even sound remotely similar. Some were sloppy, some were tight. Some were heavy, some were pop. If you take bands like The Sex Pistols, Ramones, Blondie, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Generation X & New York Dolls, and compare them to each other, there were very little similarities in their musical styles, yet were all classified as punk. Bands that came along later like Offspring and Green Day were certainly never true punk bands, as they never had the attitude which was key to being a punk. Many people have said over the years that the first Motley Crue album has a punk sound to it, but once again, if they think it was a punk sound, then they have no real knowledge of punk.

Just a quick posting from their Facebook page

As far as I know he hasnt been on one of their studio albums since Against the law. Tracy Ferry has been on the last two.

The rule in the past was always to just post in the comments section that there was bonus tracks, and not resubmit the album, as there are so many reissues these days that the database would probably take forever to update.

With the recent rise of 80s style rock/metal/glam artists like Airbourne, Jettblack and Reckless Love etc getting a good degree of media attention, it would be a perfect time for Deeds (Dirty or otherwise) to make a comeback of sorts.

Personal faves are the title track, Slip it on, When it comes to love, Mother fucker, Fooled by a rose and Not even love. Initially I was take with Two hot girls, as well, but over repeated plays, it starts to pale in comparison to some of the tracks that were not as instant. For me the sign of a good album is that when you play it a second time, you remember some of the songs almost word for word, and this is one of those albums.

He rejoined for the 25th anniversary tour.

Revolve is unofficially the last album we'll get from danger danger / d2. Wait, what? Why???????????????????? I asked Bruno at the recent melodic rock fest in chicago about when D2 plan on releasing thier next album was given a firm "never" & according folks that know him well, Bruno means what he's said due to stress he was under in completing "revolve" among other things. Westy also said there's no current plans for another D2 / danger danger album. Dude, this ruined my weekend! Seriously? Did he act like it was issues with Ted again? What stress...I don't understand. To "compose & record" another album amidst the odd gig & day jobs may be a tad harder than it makes out to be. Dont forget how late the album came out, if I recall correctly "revolve" was supposed to be out over a year before it got released. Ted pretty much said the same thing in an interview in Power Play magazine a few months back. He mentioned it very difficult to complete this one so he didn't seem to know or think that there'd be another one and it would be up to Steve and Bruno if there was. I say it's a damn shame since Revolve was sooooo good. At the end of the day, I am sure they said they would never work with Ted again after they fell out, and I know Ted was very bitter over it (just look at the cover of the live Bone Machine CD), but time heals old wounds. Just cause they felt that Revolve had been a tough album to make doesnt mean that given another couple of years, that they wont get the taste for it again. Just look at how many artists have retired from the business or touring because they state its all too much, and within two years or so are back out on the road or in the studio.

I see it a bit differently, the one word abbreviations are fine. The initials are completely rubbish and D2 is about a million times worse. There are so many stupid abbreviations at work these days, maybe this one is the straw that broke the camel's back. In terms of annoyance, this is the HH forum equivalent to people on the football message boards I use who write 'loose' and 'loosing' when they mean 'lose' and 'losing'. (And I'm talking about British people with a British education.) They should be humanely destroyed. And the irony is that you call this the HH forum. There is a big difference between people using abbreviations, and people who cannot spell. I dont see your logic on that one. Eh? Only logic is that I hate both. That's all. As suggested in the thread subtitle, it wasn't meant to be anything profound. (I'm not suggesting people who say "D2" should be eliminated, it's just a personal choice, whereas "loosing" is just idiotic.) Yet, as I say, you have used an abbreviation for this forum, so I dont quite understand you dislike for abbreviating a band name. What is the difference?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this album was actually recorded in the late 80s, and was only released long after the band had split up.

I like the abbreviation, D2, and certainly cannot see why it would annoy people. Its certainly no different to any other abbreviation, whether it be letters like PBF, GNR, EZN & DRN or single words like Maiden, Sabbath, Priest & Zep.

I have to disagree on most of whats said above, as I feel Bret has written some truly great tunes over his solo career. I also like the fact he does some country stuff, as its better that he keeps it to his solo releases, but then again, we aint exactly getting any new Poison material anyway. I'd also make a slight correction, Driven is not a dance track, Go that far is. While for me, the only weak track is the aforementioned Go that far, and I couldnt give a rats arse if a lyric has been used more than once (you show me a rock band that hasnt reused a lyric a few times during their career), my biggest problem with this album is the same problem I have had with the bulk of Brets solo albums ... the fact that he keeps using the same songs over and over again. Instead of getting an album of all new material, we seem to always get a re-recorded version/remixed version or even a totally unchanged version of songs that have been on previous solo albums. Go that far, Rock n my country, Every rose (country version), Driven, I'd die for you & Open road have all been on previous albums in one form or another. Now if you take out those six and the second version of Nothing to lose, thats only five new tracks.

Ceilings and walls suffered due to record label interference, with them trying to push him as a house wives favourite akin to Michael Bolton. Shine though, was an awesome return to his melodic rock roots, and am surprised that anyone could say it sucked.

The first time I ever heard them was live, supporting Reckless Love, and they were great. The whole crowd was into them, even though the bulk of them had probably never even heard of them before that. I am looking forward to seeing them again almost as much as I am looking forward to seeing Reckless Love.
