Yeah, used to be that if you had no religion you kept that to yourself because saying so wasn't the thing to do. Nowadays if you're religious, you're the one who keeps it quiet, because people are a lot more happy to debate the issue (and religion's argument pretty much starts and ends with the word "faith") I find it extraordinary that we live in a Christian society and abide by it's 'laws' to some degree (here in Australia) I've seen parliament sitting and witnesses the lord's prayer being recited at the start of the day. I used to wonder that if one day there was a definitive answer that disproved a higher power how the world would react. ie: would many people who were devout followers of a god suddenly not be able to cope with life, having never considered that there was nothing after life? Would the suicide rate jump? Would 'sin' become more prevalent? Best snippet I've seen on religion is below... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-d4otHE-YI

lol Thought of Change as soon as I heard it.

I can't, and I don't Amazing to see someone who is musically gifted. I never really understood it until I saw it myself. My kid starts learning keyboard, and after 2 or 3 lessons, she comes home from school and teaches herself to play Fur Elise in 3 or 4 hours. We sat in the lounge room and heard her progress. Now I give her songs on the guitar that I struggle with and am pretty jealous when her starting point is where I've got to after weeks lol

Thanks, I want it so I can force my daughter to play it. Not sure how she best learns, but as she's 18, likely it's through clips (didn't think of using those, I always just look for the written tabs) She's at a point now where not only is she a better guitarist than me (not hard) but she is able to play by ear easily as apparently she has perfect pitch.

Been looking for tabs to Stronger Now by Warrant to no avail. Any guitar players here come across any, or have figured them out?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EputqxBgvz8 Hold me now, I think I might be dying I'm not ashamed to say that I am frightened Hold me now, I used to heal like lightning Are yours the last eyes that I'll ever see Staring into me? [Pre-Chorus] Was I just because A mistake in love Two people who stop trying enough Don't want a brand new life This one's just right Why would I throw it all away? [Chorus] Won't you hold me now? Just before I stop breathing I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you Please, don't let me go While they play the last song ever The last chance to hold each other forever Hold me now, I've still got words worth hearing I just wanna be a human being Hold me now, we all know what I'm fearing I think I see the light, am I disappearing? [Pre-Chorus] Was I just because A mistake in love Two people who stop trying enough Don't want a brand new life This one's just right Why would I throw it all away? [Chorus] Won't you hold me now? Just before I stop breathing I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you Please, don't let me go While they play the last song ever The last chance to hold each other forever [Chorus] Won't you hold me now? Just before I stop breathing I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you Please, don't let me go While they play the last song ever The last chance to hold each other forever [Outro] Hold me now Remember how we were at the beginning

They're all nice light rock songs, following a fairly basic and well used formula. Not really my cup of tea. Kind of music I'd like to listen to if I was on a long train trip or something dozing off to sleep. Not to say the music would put me to sleep, but if I was dozing it's the kind of music that will keep me content

Not overly sold on the song, but I'd be open to hearing more from them. Like you said, it was fairly basic, but hopefully they have some other hooky catchy stuff to come.

Band from Nashville. Apparently Michael Wagener is producing them Also Mark Slaughter did backing vocals for a song. sample song embedded at https://www.reverbnation.com/Denmanrocks https://www.facebook.com/denmanrocks/

Unfortunately I let EZN fade into obscurity as well. Thought they had some great stuff in the past, and one of the best 80's bands not to really make it. Never was able to get into Fly High Michelle for some reason. For me, their best songs are Heaven Or Hell The World Is A Gutter Goodbye Long Way To Go Mother's Eyes Baby Loves You Time To Let You Go Right By Your Side These Days Who's Got You Now Rainy Day Message Of Love Happy Holiday So Long

See I don't understand that. Smacks of not really giving it a fair chance. Elation has some good songs that at the very least should allow any hard rock music fan to be happy to listen to. Nice melodies and hooks with decent vocals. For me it wasn't Jack GW, but I don't think they were trying to replicate that Having head Jack's latest offering, I'm looking forward more to a new GW album. But I'll give Jack's a go. Often the most average songs are released as singles, and the gems stay hidden. Look at Dee Snider who apparently recorded a video for So What. Which reminds me I need to review that album. I'll see if I remember tomorrow....

Off Elation, I really liked Heart Of A Man, Hard To Say Goodbye, Shotgun Willie's and Promised Land , Love Is Enough and Complicated Was a weaker album, but I hold hope that they'll hit back hard...

Yeah, sometimes these albums come about from songs that have been created, worked on, and sat on for years, just waiting for the right time. After that, creativity dies off. Kinda looks like that happened with him. Looking back, not sure how I ended up buying a Duran Duran members first single. Was never a fan of DD, but obviously had heard much of their music and didn't hate it. He must have looked metal on th cover. Back then I'd but music based only on the look of the band...

So I listened to the rest, and..... I really like the first song posted Bonded In Blood was ok, and I Would Do It All Again was alright I guess

I don't know of Heaven Below. But I fuckin' like that first song. For some reason it reminds me of when I first Heard Footsteps by Pop Evil, even though the songs are very different. I'ma listen to the others posted now...

I had/have high hopes for this one. Been looking forward to it for ages.

Meh, less than hat I was expecting

By not bad you mean freakin' awesome? I love it. No idea who this guy is, but I immediately cannot wait for this album in 2017. That's great. Maybe. I'd have to listen to it a few more times to see if it sets in. Sometimes a first impression is good and then later you find that it was maybe swayed by the mood you were in at the time. Other times you try really hard to like crappy music, to no avail. For instance I listened over and over to that Kiss Carnival Of Souls single, and started to like it. Years later I heard itr again and I really didn't remember it at all - my brain seemingly had omitted it from my memory. Maybe my tastes have changed and COS will be an easier album to listen to. Maybe I'll give it another go... Anyway, The name "The Rock Guy" kinda put me of. Wasn't sure if he was taking the piss, then the song sounded ok, then I wasn't sure what his game was...

I stated his lyrics suck and that truly lousy song sounded like shit, and I have zero interest in anything he does because I find what he produces to be pure garbage. So because I don't like his crappy music, and don't find what he does to be remotely pleasurable to my ears, you take the politically correct stance that I'm "hating on someone's talent because I don't like their style of music". Wrong. It's the music itself, as well as the style I don't like. In my opinion, I'd rather listen to artists I feel are much more talented, and actually play things in genres that don't annoy the hell out of me. My opinion - I don't like him, and his crappy music. You have your own opinion, but to carry on as if people have to appreciate shit you happen to like simply because you like it is just another shining example of the pretentious bullshit you level against those daring to disagree with you. If that's something that bothers you, well, tough shit. I'll continue to offer my opinion on things I like and dislike, and again, if you don't like it, too bad. I really don't need your endorsement on anything anyway, so spare me the high and mighty opinion of your taste and lofty opinion of yourself. Your clique members might buy your holier-than-thou attitude. I don't. I'm just too old school to give a good goddamn about a-holes, who think they know it all, and expect everyone to see things from their self-righteous point of view. Not my cup of tea, but I don't feel compelled to lose my shit because someone posted the song. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy, and he's a hell of a lot more talented than me in every way musical

Kinda average. Reminds me of The Poor, who aside from a few good songs, were pretty average also.

Not bad...

So I had a drive to country Victoria to see some customers, so had a few hours to listen to some new music. Finally got to hear this a couple of times. Stand outs so far are Bull's Eye Face The World Last Beauty On Earth Haven't taken to Kingmaker Humanize Me Sickening ("sickening, sickening, sickening" lets it down) Was That What You Wanted (chorus lets it down) Can see myself liking When God Took A Day Off Heaven's Little Devil Civilized Monsters

Everything Andy Taylor has done since the first two albums (one of which was covers, although one of the best cover albums ever) has been average. Tried the Luke Morley stuff but it was boring. Almost like he released his pent up hard rock and that was it.
