Wow.... I really like that!! I'm a little shocked!! Sounds great!!

Okay wow..... while checking out the recent videos from Lillian Axe's reunion in Dallas, I stumbled across this.

This apparently is the original Lillian Axe, calling themselves CIRCLE OF LIGHT. The band features Johnny Vines on vocals, Steve Blaze on guitars, Michael Maxx on bass, and Danny King on drums.

Here's the video of the band performing live recently:

Here are a few tunes from the recent reunion of three former LILLIAN AXE members. Featuring the always excellent vocals from RON TAYLOR, former members JON STER and DARRIN DELATTE performed a short acoustic set at the BASEMENT REUNION show at TREES in Dallas, Texas.

Am I safer selling to him via Amazon or should I just cancel his order?

 

Cancel that is the only safe option.

Should have listened to you dude!!

That Jamie Levine asshole bought a Blue Tears CD from me and I sent it to him via First Class Mail. He received it 2 days after ordering it and I know that the disc and inserts were in mint condition.

The son of a bitch filed a claim on me. This was an Amazon sale by the way.

I'm ready to hunt this motherfucker down and kick his brains in.

Jamie Levine............. this is for you FUCKTARD!!

Check out this killer band!! This disc is kicking my ass!!!

Wicked Jester born in 1987. Three guys from Illinois (Shane, D.D., and Rob) that relocated to Biloxi, Mississippi to join the native Kenny Kweens and became big fish in a little pond.

The stage performances were incredible for a band of their indie level: pyro, lightshows and big sound systems. The band sold their self-financed recordings on tape after the shows with great success.

In 1991 they headed West to Los Angeles to make a noise but it was a little too late. Even though they sold out shows and were critically acclaimed by the local rags, the band called it quits in 1993.

An independent label resurrected these tapes a couple years ago and offered the band to release their first official CD ever.

Shane and the boys have gone back in the studio and re-cut the entire record from start to finish.

The result is "Royalty Sux", a trip back to the Sunset Strip years.

I don't know how the band used to sound 20 years ago, but I can assure you that Wicked Jester 2011 really rocks!

Compact, tight and perfectly oiled musicianship, and better than that, the artistic production on this album is first rate.

Obviously, Wicked Jester is a glam 'n sleaze band, but they aren't limited to this genre. On the kick-ass "Shot To The Head" their style is more close to Skid Row's 'Slave To The Grind' than anything else. This is a melting hard rocker with terrific guitar work and big drums. Or in "In Need Of Love" the guys are very melodic yet powerful, reminding me L.A. Guns. Again, guitars are the stars here. Very commercial and catchy song. Twenty-five years back in time this track would be a hit.

Lynch Mob's influence is present on the ferocious "Glitter In The Gutter", a song with a great hook and a monster riff. "Champagne In The Rain" is a radio-ready power ballad, very well arranged and performed. This song is great, seriously, one of these tunes that stuck in you forever. Of course, Wicked Jester is sleaze too: "Ways To Be Wicked", "Screamin´" and specially the filthy "Get Back M.F." (what a great rocker!) are clear examples that this band has learned the lesson perfectly.

Maybe you are not into sleaze, a genre many times considered (wrongly) inferior.

Well, if you dismiss this album 'cos the title or the band image, you'll be committing a big mistake.

"Royalty Sux" is one of best old school American Hard Rock discs in recent years. It's fresh, raw (but polished), with lots of attitude.

There's many points that makes an album a winner; good (I mean, good) songs plenty of hooks and melodies, great vocals, killer guitars and first rate production / mix.

"Royalty Sux" has it all. A really explosive Rock 'N Roll cocktail.

Crank it to 10 and enjoy.

This shit had me rolling!! LOL!!

Damn I miss that fucking place. Spent many a drunken head banging night there!!

Wow.... I must say, I never ever thought I would even listen to this band but a friend of mine insisted I check out their new disc "All American Nightmare". Holy crap.... this is a pretty rocking disc!

What do you guys think of it? I heard this is way heavier than their other releases. Should I still check them out? What say you Geoff?

Great tune isn't it?

we surely can't judge an album by merely a sample

I fully agree with you on this, but by the same token, if you want people to buy the new album, surely you let them hear the best/most catchy song(s) first.

This is why bands release singles prior to to an album release. They dont pick songs that are unlikely to chart and are also likely to sell people on buying their album.

 

Maybe this is just the only song they have fully recorded, but unless they thought this was the song was most representative of the upcoming album, they should have held off until something was recorded that is.

 

I will be the first to admit that I havent bought a LA album since Poetic Justice (and I am one of the few who thinks that is the best of the first 3) as what I have heard since has not impressed me, but this sounds like its not going to do anything to change that for me.

You have got to check out "Psychoschizophrenia" and "Field's Of Yesterday".

Hope he don't drop the soap.

I also loved all 4 of their discs. I met Jamie several years ago at a Baltimore club called the ThunderDome.

Jamie went through the crowd and talked to people. He and I spoke for awhile and he was super cool.

I mean I even like "Water's Rising", "Sad Day On Planet Earth" and "Deep Red Shadows", but the dreary gloomy shit gets old disc after disc. Like I said before, Steve shouldn't call this Lillian Axe. It's nothing even close to what Lillian Axe was. He's tarnishing their legacy.

It wouldn't even matter if Ron Taylor was singing on these albums. It's still the music that has you wondering what the fuck Steve is thinking.

If you want to do Near Life Experience, do it. But don't have NLE's music with another band and call it Lillian Axe.

Sounds like the last few albums all over again.

Dammit Steve.... we want LOVE AND WAR era AXE. The new shit don't hold a candle to the old shit.

JAXX is a great club that I've been to many times over the years. I don't know the owner personally, but I think the bands he books are always great.

So I have to agree with you LVKix.....

FUCK NELSON!!!!

Clearly, this is their best record. The new singer takes this band to a new level!

Out today. Sounds killer!!

Charlie rules. We all would trade places with him in a heartbeat!

You love some weird shit Dan.

Wow... that's sounds surprisingly good.
