Yeah Tyketto is one of the bands I would not classify as AOR. Heart would be another. As for Valentine, that is a tricky one as Hugo is so Steve Perry in his sound, they always get compared to Journey.

To be fair the few times I have spoken to Erik online he was really friendly, and even the time I met him and HEAT after a gig, but not enough time to talk and sign everyones stuff. Seb I have spoken to online maybe once or twice, and he was pretty decent too. I just think Bach is a motormouth, and some of the stuff he says gets him in trouble. But of course I don't have to work with him. Saying that though, the fact him and Rob Afuso are willing to work together and Rob wont work with the other three tells me that maybe Seb wasnt the biggest Arsehole in SR.

The thing is it all comes down to what you classify as AOR. Some bands on this list I really would not call AOR. Dave Ling though is one of the top AOR journos in the UK, so who am I to argue.

Yeah I don't believe there was a third album released late last year as they released the first single from whatever the upcoming album is back in early December (Insanity). Maybe the single is what Doggy is getting confused by. Even on their Spotify there is only two albums, and the two new singles.

Where was I upset or offended? Calm down dude you are the one coming across as upset and offended. Was just saying the Mick Mars thread is probably the best place to talk about him not an Oranthi thread. And you gonna take a pop at the board for being "half dead"? Then why are you here? Was just trying to be helpful. People get so sensitive over nothing. Jeez.

There is a post for Mick Mars. Not sure an Oranthi topic is the place to discuss Jacob.

Such a great song. Amazing considering how small Giant were compared to a lot of bands of the era, that both Lana Lane and Bulletboys have covered this song. That is how good it is.

As it would have been Bobs birthday today, this one is for him

There was four years between album 1 & 2, so it's about that time for a 3rd album release seeing as the last one was 2020

Well looks like she has left Frontiers going on this social media po orianthi · My single “first time blues” ft Joe Bonamassa will be out in February through Woodwardavenue records can’t wait for you all to hear it , I produced it and it was mixed by awesome Kevin Shirley recorded at robby Krieger’s studio

Wouldn't say it's a miss, but certainly not her best cover and certainly not a patch on the original. It's one of those songs that very few people do justice to. Only version for me that hits it 100% is the Jettblack version. I

Premieres on 15th Girish Pradhan on vocals

Could be ABBA style

As much as I love A7X, I just could not get into this album. Loved the first single but everything else was just a bit too weird for me.

Yeah that Ozzy tweet is what lead me to the video

The thing that always makes me laugh is when Bee Gees get classified as Australian, despite being born in the Isle of man, spent their early years in England, moved to Australia when they were between 8 and 11, only spent about 9 years there and moved back to England. I can accept AC/DC being Aussie, even though most of them were from Scotland as they moved to Aus and stayed there, but Bee Gees are about as Australian as Mel Gibson

Not really familiar with the guy, but believe he is usually more blues/R&B. Have to say this is pretty damn impressive for a guy that does not usually perform rock/metal, and his backing band nailed it. The women sitting behind him obviously have no idea to react to metal though

Strange album to reissue. I picked it up years ago (and have one of their singles somewhere) and it's pretty much always been cheap as chips to buy. Can't imagine there is much demand for a reissue.

The belief is it was cardiac arrest, but he has been a struggling alcoholic for years, which was what caused his depature from Scorpions, so who knows if that played a part.

The vocalist issues were in June last year when they cancelled all plans. The photo was from October and has Jimmy and Andre together, so it would seem the issues are solved, although nothing has been posted since.

I do find it funny that Delta Goodrem is number two yet Kylie Minogue and INXS don't even make the top ten.
