  1. Agree. And throw in "Humanize Me". Been stuck in my damn head for over a week.
  2. Haha. Me too. And when I saw that the song "Without You" was a cover, I immediately assumed it was the Motley Crue song.
  3. I agree that Sickening is the weakest track.
  4. Hit the nail on the head. I don't mind the vocals, gives them their own identity. Agree 100%. Nothing wrong at all with the vocals.
  5. I mean this song could have been on Lipservice:
  6. 'Cause they suck? When has that ever stopped you from starting a thread? ;} Ha ha true. Although quite a lot dont suck either No... it's martinsane that posts all the bands that suck! Ha just saw this it's funny cause apparently it's true. It's all in fun man! No hate! Keep posting 'em!!
  7. Some killer tunes on this one! Strongly recommended.
  8. I will referee this fight. It should only take about 15 seconds. Amirite Geoff?
  9. Anybody have a problem with that cover? After the nightclub fire, I think it's in poor taste.
  10. I can't believe that people who loved Lipservice don't like some of the songs on Bang!
  11. Bang! was a killer disc. A few fillers but quite a few great tunes also.
  12. 25.10.2016 New Album "Silver" There’s reason to celebrate! 25 years GOTTHARD mean that we’ve left Paper, Leather, Wood, Crystal and China behind us, and can properly drink to the Silver Wedding. A quarter of a century of band history is a decent anniversary and appropriately molded into “SILVER”. Three months before the official release on January 13, it’s clear that we should pick the little black dress up from the dry cleaners and iron the good shirt, because dressing up for “SILVER” is only fair as the record sports quite a fancy look as well!
  13. FIRE ROSE - Devil On High Heels (2016) “Devil On High Heels” is the debut album from FIRE ROSE, a Swiss band formed not long ago yet including experienced musicians from the local scene. Their music is classic '80s hard rock with a strong middle-80s European style, think German / Danish bands from the era. You can tell Fire Rose was founded by guitarist Simon Giese, as “Devil On High Heels” is a true guitar driven album. There's lot of riffs & solos here, but also powerhouse vocals by Pascal Dahinden’s who owns that classic raspy output, plus we find quite anthemic choruses. Dahinden is no longer with the band having left after the recording due to personal problems and bassist, Adrian Thommen, sadly passed away. This album will surely keep a bit of him alive. As said, Fire Rose is classic '80s Hard Rock but with a punchy modern production, and a one really one for sure despite being self-managed. Opener 'Wheels On Fire' is one of the highlights, a really catchy hard rocker with a pumping rhythm section, sharp guitars and a huge chorus ready for the arenas. "Fire 'n' Ice" adds more groove in the vein of Fate, then the highly melodic 'Fades To Grey' has a Jaded Heart and German overall influence as well, another highlight for me. Some tracks like 'Falling' go a bit for a metallic edge, as well as the anthemic 'Together We Stand', while 'Don't Need Somebody' and 'Devil On High Heels' have a more classic hard rock feel. They can craft a quite powerful ballad too on 'I Love You' (Gotthard influences), and a party-rocker in 'Tequila'. “Devil On High Heels” is one of the best albums I heard from a Swiss hard rock band in a while. Fire Rose has the chops, the musicianship and they know how to write a classy song in this genre. There's variety as well; hard rockers with groove & melody, more edgy metallic numbers, ballads, all wrapped by a really good production. Solid stuff.

  15. http://www.melodicrock.com/articles/news-feed/2016/10/17/former-heat-guitarist-dave-dalone-returns Former H.E.A.T Guitarist DAVE DALONE Returns Share Artist: H.E.A.T It's a case of out with the old, in with the old as guitarist DAVE DALONE returns to the band he left just a few years ago. "Ladies and gentlemen. In case you missed it. Please give a big welcome to our “new” guitar player Dave Dalone. Dave has since the beginning been a huge part of the sound our fans have come to love. With his guitar skills extra ordinaire, combined with excellent songwriting skills, Dave really does not need an introduction. We could not be happier to announce that Dave Dalone is returning to H.E.A.T. “As soon as Rivers had unfortunately decided to leave, the first name that really came up for the job was Dave. He was there from the beginning and has gone through every success, development and hard work together with us. He really knows what it takes to be the guitar player for H.E.A.T and we’re confident he will once again do a great job taking this ship forward.” - Jimmy Jay "I'm back in the god damn groove!" - Dave Dalone." The band returns to active duty in the new year for recording sessions for an album due later in 2017.
  16. Excellent song. Looks like a great continuation.
  17. These guys remind me of Beautiful Creatures big time. And that's not a bad thing!
  18. I think so. Sam hasn't even been on here at all in quite awhile with any news.
