Bon Jovi - “Forever” coming June 07, 2024
tts42572 replied to whiplash1972's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
Agree.....Just kind of "there" is a good way to describe it. It would be great if this were sort of a change of pace song and there were more "rocking" songs on the album. But the sad thing is that this is probably THE rocking song on the album lol. It just frustrates me so much. I really dug this band back in the day and despite the feud with Richie and the whole corporate machine, I think Jon seems like a pretty good dude. I mean, I've watched plenty of interviews over the years and he always seems to be a pretty down to earth guy and has done a ton of philanthropic work. It's like I really want to like their stuff but I just can't seem to do it with the crap they've put out lol. I don't think another great album is in the cards. Maybe an album we don't absolutely hate is the best we can hope for at this point -
Music sounds cool but song/vocals overall not doing much for me. Having a hard time getting into a song called Daimyo...what the heck even is that? Some 16th century warrior or something? Meh. Overall, I've soured on projects like this in general so they need to really blow me away to make an impact and this isn't doing that.

Bon Jovi - “Forever” coming June 07, 2024
tts42572 replied to whiplash1972's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
New song. Obviously light years away from what they were but I don't hate this as much as most of the stuff they've done the past 15 years. At least it's not some sappy ballad....which is probably what most of the new album will be lol. It's still fairly bland and generic modern Bon Jovi in general though. -
AC/DC - Back in Black with Bon Scott on vocals (AI)
tts42572 replied to whiplash1972's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
Interesting and scary. That said though, I'm probably nuts but I prefer the Brian Johnson version. The possibilities are intriguing though. Can we get a new Warrant album with Jani Lane's voice doing vocals? Or maybe a new Elvis album lol. Heck, I'm sure they can probably even do AI video's with those guys in them too. I say this tongue in cheek but the sad thing is I'm sure this stuff is possible and probably even likely to happen at some point in the future. They're already doing AI, virtual concerts and we had that new Beatles song and video recently. I won't be surprised if we see more of this sort of thing. -
Interesting concept for an album but big blow losing Erik. I was lukewarm on the first album as I'm just not a big power metal guy but there were a couple songs I liked on it. I'll probably check this out but highly doubt it'll be of much interest to me.

Have never really listened to this band for whatever reason but have kind of had them in the back of my mind to check out at some point as I remember some of their stuff not sounding too bad. Kind of like those new tunes above. May have to finally investigate a bit.

Kissin' Dynamite - Back With A Bang (New Album 2024)
tts42572 replied to tts42572's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
Agree! They just have a knack for creating interesting, catchy, hook filled tunes. That last album might possibly be my favorite album of the last 5 years if I were making a list. It's just held up really well for me and I still play it often. Tall order for sure but off to a good start! -
https://www.napalmrecordsamerica.com/kissin-dynamite-back-with-a-bang-digipak-cd.html German stadium rockers KISSIN’ DYNAMITE return with their eighth full-length, the aptly entitled Back With A Bang, out July 5, 2024 via Napalm Records! Founded as a teenage school band in 2007 and equipped with an authentic 80s stadium rock attitude, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE have performed at countless major festivals internationally, opened for acts such as L.A. rockstars Mötley Crüe and played massive sold-out headline tours. KISSIN’ DYNAMITE’s booming career has seen several high chart entries, with the latest studio album and Napalm Records debut Not The End Of The Road (2022) impressively climbing to #2 on the Official German Album Charts. Moreover, the rock formation’s catchy hits have made it to #1 on the Rock Radio Airplay Charts several times, and the multi-million-times streamed band has gained over a million views on each of their most popular music videos. Now, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE release their promising new offering Back With A Bang, once again recorded and produced by singer Hannes Braun (Südland Music). The album was mastered by Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Robin Schmidt (24-96 Mastering). Explosive title track “Back With A Bang” kicks the party right off, setting the scene for an album full of stadium rock anthems in true KISSIN’ DYNAMITE manner. Incredibly catchy following track “My Monster” is a guaranteed future radio hit, while uplifting “Raise Your Glass” is filled to the brim with nostalgia. Epic guitar riffs and true rock vocals on the dark rock number “Queen Of The Night” and “The Devil Is A Woman” persuade. To wrap up the album, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE shows their versatility and emotional side one last time by bringing it down for the beautiful closing track “Not A Wise Man”. With their exciting, multifaceted 12-track offering, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE is indeed Back With A Bang, serving the best of modernized stadium rock with their guitar-driven anthems, loaded with hit potential and designed for huge stages. Track Listing: 1. Back With A Bang 2. My Monster 3. Raise Your Glass 4. Queen Of The Night 5. The Devil Is A Woman 6. The Best Is Yet To Come 7. I Do It My Way 8. More Is More 9. Iconic 10. Learn To Fly 11. When The Lights Go Out 12. Not A Wise Man Album off to a good start IMO with Raise Your Glass! Video here:

Judas Priest - Invincible Shield (New album coming March 2024)
tts42572 replied to whiplash1972's topic in Heavy Metal
I've never been an overly huge Judas Priest fan. I did love the Turbo album though and usually seem to find a couple tunes on each album I like. I seem to gravitate toward their more melodic stuff than their burning, power metal screaming stuff. Here, I think Gates of Hell is my favorite tune.....Really digging that one. Crown of Horns and Devil in Disguise are very good too. I wish they'd do a full album of tunes like those....which is kind of what Turbo was lol. Not too much else grabbing at the moment but it does rock pretty good and I'd think many Priest fans that like that heavier metal style would probably dig it. -
I saw from Magnus on You Tube in the video premiere that it's just a one off single that is being released on Vinyl. There is no album coming in near future. Although, I still wouldn't be surprised to see a deluxe edition of Megalomanium at some point with this song on it.
-
New song is basically more of what you'd expect in terms of sticking to their formula. That said, I like this song a bit more than most on the last album. This one kind of reminds me of Saturday Night from Wired and feels like a song that could've fit on that album. I know their songs don't really stray too far from each other but I felt like Wired had more "catchy" tunes than the last album and this song to me has some catchiness to it. Still not breaking any new ground though.
-
Agree on the production....Thought the same myself. Like you say, hard to explain. Just a little thin or something in spots. I do like the 2 new tunes though. And Fire It Up seems to have quite a bit more life to it to my ears. The 2nd half of the album isn't doing much for me with some of the song choices there but decent filler album nonetheless I guess.
-
Teaser sounds pretty good. Seems way too early for a new album though. I suppose my guess would be it's a leftover from the last album recording sessions but maybe some kind of compilation or something is coming. I wouldn't put it past them to maybe have a Megalomanium Deluxe Edition coming either...They did something like that with Armageddonize. Hoping for something that stands out a little more than most of the stuff on Megalomanium did for me. That last album just didn't grab me much. I think I have 2 songs from it in my main playlist (Hardest Part is Losing You and Children of the Night) and the rest just kind of bounced off me. It was a little weird though...Didn't dislike anything on it and sounded fine. Just not very memorable or something.
-
I dig the new tune! Honestly, might be my favorite yet from these guys. I like that this kind of gets away from the Bon Jovi Country vibe they sometimes had on the debut. For me, this has a fresh, big sound to it. Will have the new one on my radar.

Bummer. I know I'm likely in the minority, but I was never into this band until Gabriel came on board. I just dug his vocals and thought Automaton and Rust were both excellent albums. Hopefully they can do some good things with their new lineup.
