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.

They really lost me with the utter shite that was Phone number, and the comeback has been sporadic with changing vocalists and albums that never really hit the same as the first three albums, but were a move back in the right direction. Have preordered this as its cheap and signed, but the singles give me hope.

Really? Edge of a Broken Heart was already in the 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong box set. I'd be more interested if they included Borderline, which was only released as a single in Japan. An international release of that song is long overdue!

 

Edge of a broken heart was also a b-side on the Always CD single.

Yeah debut was great...2nd album was shit tbh

Only song I even remotely cared for was the opening track, From my window, but even that was piss weak compared to the debut.

I have always been an Elton John fan, even before I was a rock fan, but mostly only listened to the big hits that were on the radio. When I heard about the Two Rooms tribute album and saw JBJ was on it, I waited til it dropped in price and picked up a copy. i had never actually heard the song Levon before, so was totally new to me.

I fell in love with this cover, and due to that this song is now possibly my fave EJ song as well.

Wont be to everyones taste here, but ya cant please everyone

Sic Vikki - I Don't Want Nobody But Yours.

I remember buying this CD in '93 not knowing anything about them.

Turning it over and seeing Steve Plunkett as producer sealed the deal. 

The album is definitely one of the unsung Masterpieces of the genre.

 

 

The weird thing is, I remember a review of either the album or the band themselves in Kerrang or RAW back when this came out, and it was titled something like Sons of Autograph. It didnt really mean that much to me as had never even heard of Autograph at the time (my first introduction to them was 2002 in the soundtrack to the game GTA Vice City).

I seem to remember there was some reference to them sounding like Ratt as well, but I may be confusing it with another review. I did pick this up probably in the late 90s quickly followed by the second album, so I still had not even heard Autograph at this point, but I sure as shit did not see the Ratt comparison.

Loved the debut felt kinda meh about the sophomore effort.

Interesting choice. Until now, I never even knew that there was an alternate version of the song. I personally prefer the original, but each to their own.

It was a on the US version of Crossroad instead of In these arms which was on the international releases and also appeared as a b-side track on Always.

I think its a good version, and had they stuck to this kind of reworking on This left feels right, that might have actually been a good album instead of being The shit sounds shite.

I think her vocals on this sound a lot more like the HITC style, so I have high hopes here

Not familiar with her, but will be interested in seeing how this works out.

And lets be honest, she is better looking that Davide

Which set do you have? I'd like to check it out since I love listening to demos.

It's just called Unreleased demos and b-sides. Some of the stuff is songs from soundtracks or tribute albums, some is stuff from the deluxe or international releases. Some live tracks and a few solo bits of various members like Richie singing In these arms.

You'd be surprised by all of the stuff they still haven't released! If you can, look for Sessions from the Vault, It's a 11 CD bootleg which contains just about every demo these guys ever made! There's a playlist on YouTube which contains the entire collection except for the first CD, but in the last video, there's a download link in the description for the entire collection.

 

I have an 8 disc set of demos and unreleased stuff, and so much of it has been released since it was compiled. And most of it is not from the Slippery era.

I never wanted another FireHouse album. The last two weren't very good. Many bands can't recapture the magic of their earlier work, or evolve into something better.

While not as classic as their early stuff, I thought tracks like Jumpin, Take it off, Don't you fade on me, I'd rather be making love, Prime time & Door to door were cool songs. I will admit the sound on Prime time was a bit muffled though.
