Captain Howdy

Ooh, was just playing the Hail to the heroes music video and started reading the blurb under the video and saw this interesting piece of info "The debut album, currently unavailable on streaming platforms, will be reissued by Frontiers at a later date."

New single, 18th Feb

Oh and a collaboration with another artists called Endigo

I have no fucking idea what I just watched, but in this age of Eskimo Callboy, I am finding myself enjoying some weird shit. Why is it though that I watch this and think this is what a band would be like if @Geoff created it?

Just found this cover from last year. Not many people can do Miljenko justice when they cover his songs, but I think this is about as good as anyone could get.

One semi decent face shot and it didn't look like him on drums, but it was still blurry. Have to say though, regardless of who is or isnt in the band, this is a catchy as hell song and the two guitar solos fucking rip. If this is the direction the new album goes rather that the last album and Moonchild, then it could be a true return to form and I would not care if Jesus, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden were members.

Well it says that the upcoming single is the first from the new album, so am guessing neither of these two will make the cut. To my knowledge they released two non album tracks between Self titled and Bad blood rising (Skydiving without a parachute & Drag me down) .

If this is the first song, looks like Moonchild and Crossfire don't make the cut, but then again they have a history of releasing non album singles.

"Under The Gun", the first cut from the upcoming 5th consecutive Santa Cruz album "The Return Of The Kings" out Feb 25th. Pre-save NOW https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/santacruz5/under-the-gun

This would be my guess, but as I said earlier, Gunn did forget to include that Quireboys song on his initial playlist and only added it later, so we may still be in luck.

In your opinion.

Nah, I didn't get into the band until a little time before the second album, and by then the debut was already deleted. I think I heard one of the singles from album 2 and then a bunch of covers they did (which are great btw, especially the AC/DC medley they do as the singer nails both Scott and Johnsons style). Did speak to one of them around that time, and he did say that they were trying to get the rights back to the debut so they could re-release it, but never heard anything beyond that.

The last album was their second album, not debut. Most people missed out on the first as it was only ever released in India, and its been deleted for quite a while.

They did. So either they were wrong, someone changed their mind or its been missed off this list.

Final episode this week, and not much to shout about soundtrack wise it seems.

I listen to what I like. Really don't care if other people like it or not.

Playing a bit of catch up and also got some new releases in the last month or so: Slash - 4 (boxset with demo cassette, patch, guitar pic, poster and booklet) Slash - Living the dream Damn Dice - Thriller killer Band Maid - Domination Band Maid - Unseen world (Japanese box set with 2CD version, blu ray, poster & booklet) Tragedy - Disco balls to the wall Tokyo Motor Fist - Lions Girish & The Chronicles - Hail to the heroes Dee Snider - Leave a scar Lawnmower Deth - Blunt cutters Romeo's Daughter - Spin (signed) Romeo's Daughter - Organik (EP) Nocturnal - Daughters of the night (signed) Daniel Leigh - Any other name Electric Boys - Upside down Diamante - American dream Airbourne - Boneshaker Bulletboys - From out of the skies Drowning Pool - Drowning Pool Drowning Pool - Full circle Avril Lavigne - Head above water Enuff Z Nuff - Rarities & Demos Hollywood Vampires - Rise Iron Maiden - Senjutsu (casebound version)

I forgot all about these guys. I bought the debut Nasty Habit CD when it came out, but while it was ok, I never rushed to buy the follow up, and didn't really like what I heard of Major Crush. Dunno if they are even a band anymore as the two brothers (vocalist and guitarist) now seem to have some crappy pop channel on YouTube with shit like this

Thing is though, they never actually played Home sweet home, just the Cena on piano version and I think Gunn has had that put that up on Spotify himself. He did though do it with 7 o'clock by Quireboys. I think it appeared in first episode but he added it later. I also had a look at another playlist of hair metal he started back in 2020, and it had some of the stuff like Tigertailz that he has used on the show, and other stuff like Roxy Blue, Wildside, D'molls, Spread Eagle, Sleeze Beez, Cats In Boots, Rhino Bucket & Alleycat Scratch. Even back then he had stuff like Crazy Lixx and Crash Diet as well, so he really is a fan of this genre and doesn't just know the big guns like Crue, GNR and Poison etc.

Amazon UK says 25th Feb, but I preordered direct from AFM and their website says 25th March.
