  1. Oh man, that would be horrific. I dare someone to sit through this one. agreed!
  2. This new story makes me really excited to hear it. Especially the bold part. http://bravewords.com/news/rhino-bucket-to-release-the-last-real-rock-n-roll-album-in-april-hello-citizens-track-streaming RHINO BUCKET TO RELEASE THE LAST REAL ROCK ’N’ ROLL ALBUM IN APRIL; “HELLO CITIZENS” TRACK STREAMING Rhino Bucket will release their seventh album, The Last Real Rock ’N’ Roll, on April 21st via Acetate Records. The album track, “Hello Citizens”, is available for streaming below. "We never did a ballad. Never will," states Rhino Bucket singer/rhythm guitarist Georg Dolivo. And the dozen songs on Rhino Bucket's aptly titled seventh studio album bear witness to his statement: The dirty dozen tunes on The Last Real Rock 'N' Roll are no-holds-barred rockers boasting irresistible sing-along choruses, stellar solos, and gut-roiling rhythm section, making for riff-tastic bluesy bar-band rampage. If you don't stomp your feet to "Falling Down The Stairs" and bang your head to "The Devil You Know," check your pulse. The irresistible "Last Call" boasts stellar female backup vocals and Hammond B3 organ for a bit of a stylistic departure, which leads Dolivo to laugh, "Are we in danger of growing up?" The answer is still an emphatic NO. Rhino Bucket has lost none of the hunger, propulsion, beer drinkin' 'n' hell-raising that they began with in 1988, leading Jesse Fink, author of The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC, to boldly state: "More than any other band, Rhino Bucket has awakened the ghost of Bon Scott. His spirit lives in their music. They're more AC/DC than AC/DC - and that's saying something." The Last Real Rock 'N' Roll was produced by Supersuckers frontman Eddie Spaghetti, who Rhino Bucket first met when the bands toured North America together in 2006. "We got to know Eddie and really got along. We had great respect for his talent, especially as a songcrafter, and when we got into the studio he was such the positive force," says Dolivo. "He really understood the band and helped us elevate the songs." The band sequestered at Studio 64 in Highland Park, CA, for about a month with Spaghetti to lay down The Last Real Rock 'N' Roll, leaving egos at the door, and turning amps up to 11. The Last Real Rock ’N’ Roll is Rhino Bucket's first album since 2011's Who's Got Mine. Featuring founding members Dolivo and bassist Reeve Downes; renowned guitarist Brian "Damage" Forsythe (of Kix fame), who's been with the Bucket for more than 15 years; and drummer, Dave DuCey, the quartet's years of road work show in the drum-tight playing and vibe. Loud, proud and unapologetic, Rhino Bucket signed with Warner Brothers/Reprise in 1989 and recorded two albums with the label. Their song "Ride With Yourself" from their second LP, Get Used To It, was featured in the hit movie Wayne's World. After parting ways with Warner Brothers, Simon Wright (AC/DC and Dio) joined the band for the next album, Pain (1994). In 1996, the band took a hiatus but roared back to life in 2001 when guitarist Brian "Damage" Forsythe of Kix joined up. The past dozen years have seen the band record the soundtrack for cult stoner film Rolling Kansas, and place songs in several movies, including “Welcome To Hell" in The Wrestler and the title track to The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Rhino Bucket teamed up with Acetate Records in 2006 and has released three all-original albums since then: And Then It Got Ugly (2006), The Hardest Town (2009) and Who's Got Mine? (2011), along with two compilation albums, No Song Left Behind and Pain And Suffering (both 2007). The interim between Who's Got Mine? and The Last Real Rock ’N’ Roll proved fortuitous, as Dolivo explains: "Sometimes you just to wait for the stars to align. We has numerous starts and stops throughout the years, but it never felt right until we got Eddie on board and the right batch of songs to chose from." Additionally, Rhino Bucket were (and remain) in constant motion - "like 43 gigs in 46 days, with 21 in a row to start the tour. Several Monsters of Rock cruises and countless other gigs all over the world. It took a while but we didn't want to rush or push anything, the if I may be so humble, we think the results were worth waiting for." From the opening entreaty of "Hello Citizens" where Rhino Bucket urge fans to join them on their rockin' "revolution" (a call to arms in the spirit of AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock" and Cheap Trick's "Hello There"), the band rallies the troops with such relatable, irresistible rock anthems as "Last Call”, “Swing And A Miss" and "I'm Your Doctor”. While Dolivo writes a majority of the lyrics, three of the songs were co-written with original guitarist and co-founder Greg Fields, with Dolivo observing, "It was nice to combine the beginning spirit of the band with where we are now." Rhino Bucket are humbled by their faithful fans, longevity, and consistent creativity, as Dolvio concludes, "We've seen the world together and are still friends. It's a miracle, right? Brian joining the band after Greg left was a godsend, as was Dave. Musically we all have our shit down, and finally we have four guys who all have the same goal: To simply be the best Rhino Bucket that we can."
  3. Your top 4 are correct, but my order is slightly different. As much as I didn't expect it, I agree Eclipse is the best album so far, followed by TMF, Confess & Lionville. So I'm right.
  4. Let's spam their f/book page with messages of re-releasing/re-recording "Early Years"! You mean all three of us? Won't that be a bit much?
  5. Agree re: the lyrics. Also agree about the sameness of a lot of the tracks. Still a very good disc.
  6. This is a pretty classic Night Ranger sounding disc. Fans of the band are going to like most of this album.
  7. Why not?!?!?! They have all these exciting sophisticated computers and satellites.
  8. I just don't understand how they consistently can be wrong on a semi-daily basis. Called for 8 to 12 inches of snow..... minimum..... maybe more the longer it snows. So I go outside around 11pm, it's not snowing anymore. About 3 inches on the ground. It's sleet.... and rain.... and freezing rain I guess..... And it ends up doing that the rest of the night. The sleet adds and additional half inch. Total forecast fail....... AGAIN. I wish I could have a job.... be wrong most of the time... and still have a job!! Rant over.
  9. Agreed. I think if the rest of the songs were like the ones we previewed, halving the amount of songs might be better than doubling it. On the flipside, how cool was "Cockroach" by Danger Danger. Released as a 2-cd set with both versions. Brilliant and both have their merits!
  10. I love all of their releases. I cannot wait to hear this!!
  11. I know that HOL posted a pic of a Japan fan has the album already. Poor fan! You're such a douche! I am! Actually gave the new HOL a 71%. Pretty solid musically dragged down by the vocals but not unlistenable for sure.
  12. What I have listened to and rated so far: Tokyo Motor Fist - "S/T" 92% Confess - "Haunters" 90% Eclipse "Monumentum" 88% Lionville - "A World Of Fools" 86% Night Ranger - "Don't Let Up" 80% Overkill - "The Grinding Wheel" 80% Firewind - "Immortals" 79% Unruly Child - "Can't Go Home" 78% House Of Lords - "Saints..." 71% Gotthard - "Silver" 70% Stephen Pearcy - "Smash" 66% Pride Of Lions - "Fearless" 65% Thunder - "Rip It Up" 65% Jack Russell's GW 65% Sainted Sinners - "S/T" 60%
  13. I re-listened a few times but my scores stand. 65% and not a % more
  14. content courtesy of zerodayrocks NASTY CRUE - Riots In Heaven (2017) To be released tomorrow March 2, "Riots In Heaven" is the full length debut by NASTY CRUE, a Polish incarnation of the '80s L.A. Sunset Strip. Take a quick look at the band's image and unsurprisingly, indeed the 4-piece are a bastard child of ‘80s US scene. But while their debut ep was a pale glam-infused / sleaze collection of songs - hence, not featured here on the blog - the guys have evolved to a more hard rocking outfit driven by sharp riffs, still retaining a sleaze touch but much more melodic and consistent. From the start with 'Cabin in the Woods' and title track 'Riots in Heaven', the guys showcase a solid songwriting with echoes of LA Guns, Britny Fox, Motley Crue, etc, but adding, as happens on the former, some keyboards to turn things more melodious. The funnily titled 'What Happens on Backstage Stays on Backstage' rocks with an intense groove, 'Movie Star' delivers a welcomed broken riff providing darkness, then 'Crime Wave' has a modern hard feel furnishing even more variation. 'Lynchburg Tennessee' is an arena anthem with some Warrant on it, 'Make Some Noise' has a highly melodic main line, on 'Friday Night Fever' Nasty Crue add a heavy-funk touch with bit of Extreme, whilst 'Johnny & Mary' come from the early Enuff Z'Nuff songwriting book. They end the record with an acoustic piece, 'Find My Way', not a ballad but another nice side from the Nasty Crue 2017. As you see above, "Riots In Heaven" is a varied debut album by Nasty Crue always revolving around the late '80s Hollywood sound. There's some really good tunes and solid songwriting, and while the 4-piece still need that 'extra punch' on crafting memorable choruses, the album is pretty enjoyable as a whole. Very promising band, worth giving it a try. 01 - Cabin in the Woods 02 - Riots in Heaven 03 - What Happens on Backstage... 04 - Movie Star 05 - Crime Wave 06 - Lynchburg Tennessee 07 - Make Some Noise 08 - Hero 09 - Friday Night Fever 10 - Johnny & Mary 11 - Find My Way J.J. (Jøn Jøndrensen) - vocals Peter Shuffle - guitar Paulie Skørvensën - bass Mintæy 69 - drums, backing vocals PRE ORDER: www.amazon.de/Riots-Heaven-Explicit-Nasty-Crue/dp/B06X42GHNW .
  15. Should release a 2-disc set with both versions.
  16. To celebrate such an exceptional career with their fans, EDGUY will get back on the road. And while the live program will only contain the best material of their entire career, the new release will not be just a "greatest hits" album one would expect to accompany such a tour: The 2-CD/DVD-package "Monuments" — due on July 14 via Nuclear Blast — will include brand new material, their best tracks of the last 25 years, and old rarities that have never been published before. In addition, the DVD will include an entire show from EDGUY's "Hellfire Club" tour in 2004 as well as the complete collection of the band's video clips. The limited edition will include an extensive coffee-table book containing material from throughout the entire history of EDGUY.

  17. Agree 100%. As I have been tracking down some local bands here in Baltimore, some of them don't reply and if they do, they have an attitude and don't want to talk about being in a hair band.
