Songs sound pretty good.

various sources: Former Tesla guitarist Tommy Skeoch has a new band, SKIN SUIT, which are releasing their self-titled debut “Skin Suit“. Is there any reminiscence of Tommy’s previous group? While listening to it I ask myself; is this a solo album? Yes, there’s a lot of Tesla here, but that’s inevitable, this type of classic hard rock is part of Skeoch’s DNA. The stylings of Skeoch’s former band Tesla are different these days without one Skeoch in the fold. I mean this in the most flattering way possible. I felt that the band’s ‘Shock’ album last year was very well done and rocks. Where does that release sit in comparison to The Great Radio Controversy or Psychotic Supper? Well, that’s where that key ingredient that I mentioned earlier comes into play slightly. Honestly, that opinion though is not going to be pursued much further because frankly Tesla always release great music. Well, let’s go with Skin Suit’s album now. After the first track, I was completely floored. I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! As I put on opener “Knocked Down”, I immediately got excited. There was that in your face guitar styling that I had been missing for years. Skeoch was always classic for the use of the whammy bar just at the right moment. It becomes apparent that Tommy Skeoch still has that killer instinct within him. As for the vocals of singer Rob McManus, it is different than Tesla singer Jeff Keith, but still gives me chills. McManus is more of an articulated, intense vocalist where Keith is more raspy and laid back, but always brings it. It’s like apples and oranges. What also stands out on this track is the use of the ride cymbal, very close to late ’80s / early ’90s Tesla albums. Next, “Dream Girl Nightmare”, again, sounds like Tommy Skeoch. Balls out everywhere. It’s like being at a nude beach. There’s nothing to hide or hold back. It’s just you and your Skin Suit. “Skin In The Game” has more of a ’70s Alice Cooper vibe to it. Skeoch starts solely playing the chords on and off as McManus makes his presence felt as the drums carry the beat in typical high-hat, snare / kick combo. The band builds up nicely leading into an infectious chorus. “Legacy” may be the closest song on the album to the classic Tesla sound. This tune has a very ‘Modern Day Cowboy’ feel to it. Tesla fans will be quite impressed. The vibe really brings you back to early days of the young band from Sacramento, California. “I Forgive You” could possibly be the hottest track on the album. This really has a Psychotic Supper vibe to it. With the band laying back in the verse allowing Rob McManus’s vocal to be executed perfectly, it also gives the song the chance to build up to the chorus. What is also obvious, is the guitar stylings of Skeoch. I think back to those old Tesla albums where Skeoch and Frank Hannon would play off of each other’s strengths. Obviously, Skeoch is doing this all on his own, but gives the perception that if done live, the band would possibly need two guitar players? What is also apparent is Skeoch’s tone. The vibrato and feel in each note is so enlightening and it really sounds like, well, Tommy Skeoch. “It’s Finished” starts off slowly with acoustic guitar and some background effects. Almost the ‘Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)’ type of sound. This song also makes me wonder if in some ways did Skeoch have an influence on the Tesla music in terms of changing timings and feel within the song. It kind of brings me back to The Great Radio Controversy where songs like ‘Lazy Days, Crazy Nights’ or ‘Did For The Money’ really had that kind of energizing vibe. Now, I am not going to analyze every single song. I wanted to give the readership an early indication of what this album has to offer. Possibly, you’re sitting at home, on your computer, reading this very article and are wondering who or what Skin Suit really is. Well, if you are reading this, you now know in some ways. If you are like me and want to relive the early days or a continuation of what Tesla may have been had Tommy Skeoch remained in the band, this may be it. I truly admire and love Tesla for all that they do year in and year out. They are one of the true, genuine rock n’ roll bands of the ’80s generation. With all that said, who’s to say we can’t love both Tesla and Tommy Skeoch’s Skin Suit? What I take out of all this, is that in these uncertain rock n’ roll times, we are lucky enough to now get music from two great artists. I don’t see it as a competition. I see this is as artistry at its finest. What more can I say? Honestly, I can’t find anything wrong with this release. It is an in-your-face, all out hard rock album that will surely please the old Tesla fans and those who love straight ahead classic 80 / 90s oriented hard rock music.Welcome back Tommy Skeoch.

Still not that great.

Another demo from Vicious Wishes. The killer "Bullet In The Back".

That was playing during your first scene with Cody in Boys Who Blow Boys Volume 6

Agreed. Awful!

You're welcome DarkStone:

Dylan's ass has many YouTube fans. Her ass is spectacular.

The album was horrible. Horrendous pile of dog doodoo if I remember right. That song above is why I bought it at the time.

from various sites/sources: UK quintet VOODOO VEGAS are back with their new album, “Feeling So Good“, continuing their assault on classic, catchy hard rock. A British band taking their cue from acts from the Sunset Strip circa 86-91 – read Cinderella, Skid Row and Ratt – Voodoo Vegas do more than stand their ground… in fact, they’re taking ground. With the new punchy and bombastic affair, Voodoo Vegas are quickly becoming “the band to watch”. The album opens with a song title more suited to a ballad, but looks can be deceiving, as ‘Don’t Need Your Love’ is a ballsy hard rock swagger. Up front, in your face and bold, ‘Don’t Need Your Love’ is a “party starter” and a raucous rocker that will make listeners sit up and take notice. ‘Revolution’ thunder stomps its way into view, coming straight out the 80s sleazy rock genre with just a little hint of blues. Voodoo Vegas have grown since formed a decade ago, and it can be heard in the maturity of their songs. And yes, it took only two songs to realize that. ’Follow Your Leader’ capitalises on this new found maturity by exploring more mellow territory, almost power ballad in its delivery, but just remains heavy enough to stay in the hard rock genre. Swaggering into view, ‘Puppet’ is an up tempo and highly energetic sleazy rock romp. Everything that makes the genre the spectacle it is, you’ll find here. Voodoo Vegas may have an American influence, but they are from Britain, and the hard edged rock they play is distinctly British. ‘Pretender’ is reminiscent of American rock giants Aerosmith – big riffs, punchy, crunchy and the swaggering rhythm that just oozes sleaze. Chiming in at over six minutes in length ‘How Much Is Enough’ is a slower, much heavier foot stomp than anything heard so far. A punchy blues driven riff drives this song, and if this was played at a barn dance, the lights would be turned down low, and everyone would be slow dancing. ‘World Keeps Turning’ is a one minute tension filled, atmospheric build up that acts as an intro for ‘Who I Want To Be’ – a swaggering, staggering, extremely catchy head nodder. This will make everyone singing the chorus, such is its infectiousness. The title song ‘Feeling So Good’ toes the borderline of the blues rock genre, maintaining a massive melodic edge. And of course keeps alive the British rock punch that the album has in absolute abundance. Rollicking into life and thundering along all bluesy and funky, ‘Come On Over’ will wake up any party that’s gone stale. It’s lively and energetic and will entertain and thrill party goers of all ages. The album ends with another six minutes plus song, the huge riffing, end of the party anthem ‘Love Shines’. A fitting end to an album of constant party feel, a happy album with all the ingredients needed to take on the might of the American sleazy hard rock giants – and win… “Feeling So Good” is so good. And I feel good to able to report that fact. Even better, it is a timely reminder that Voodoo Vegas are still around, still have plenty to say, and they belong up there with the best of UK hard rock.

Exactly. It's all to appease the blacks. Black Lives Matter? More than 350 blacks kill other blacks in my city every year. It only matters when a white is involved.

Sounds good to me.

I'd like to cut Cody's fucking balls off, soak them in Geoff's nasty pile of shit, and then shove them back up his ass. Was that vile, nasty and vicious enough??

I think he's talking to you
