Not an album, just a track I've just seen.

I don't know much else about these guys.

Watch this space I guess.

One of my fave covers. Could not give a shit about the original, but JH turned it into a monster of a tune

 

The Anastacia version is pretty great as Pop tracks go.

What I think is very cool about this cover is one line that they completely changed while still paying a tribute to the original. 

In the original, Anastacia refers to herself in a particular line and Jaded Heart rework it to do the same.

A nice Easter egg.

A couple of killer "Tattoo Rodeo" tracks from '91.

Hard Rock with a Country twang.

Although, if you're talking about a true example of Blues combined with Hard Rock, then this scene from the movie "Crossroads", featuring Steve Vai as the Devil's guitarist is UNBELIEVABLE. 

A bit of a "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" vibe.

Great movie BTW.

Actually, this may be the ultimate Blues Hard Rock song.

Yeah, as jondavis mentioned above, Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues" and "After Hours" are pure quality, as is the "Muddy Water Blues" album by Paul Rodgers. There's an incredible line-up of guitarists on that one.

Of course you can't mention Paul Rodgers without mentioning "Bad Company".

This is one of many killer tracks from "The Eternal Idol", which is one of my favourite albums.

I love all of Tony Martin's work, but this album is far, far superior to "Forbidden", IMHO. 

I've just done more to promote this album than the owners of the rights have FFS.

Maybe Warner Bros won't give them rights. Does seem weird though to exclude his first album with them.

100% it was about rights, which I don't understand. 

Surely this would create interest and publicity in a property that wouldn't be getting much interest at the moment; i.e., "The Eternal Idol".

Anybody interested in this box set would know that there was one missing.

No "The Eternal Idol", so it's not a complete collection.

Why bother.

My favorite Sabbath era.

Ask Bonnie Tyler, she's the expert on these situations.

Or Erik Martensson.

The movie "Black Roses" from 1988 was decent enough, but the soundtrack was phenomenal. 

This track is MHR ballad perfection, which is not surprising considering the vocalist. 

I don't feel comfortable with people making fun of Stefan.

As a show of support I'm posting the National Anthem of Finland.

This one's for you mate.

Yeah, a Russian site, actually. Don’t have my laptop today and can’t remember the name off the top of my head. It’s a downloading site too, which is not for everyone, but I’ve found these sites the only way to keep up to date with new modern releases, for better or worse. If someone has an alternative I’d happily add to watch list, but seems so hard to get all the sub-genres of modern rock / metal in one place… other than these download sites. 

Mp3Million by any chance?

The thing is Rhodes real name was Virgil Runnels, and he chose that name himself. His oldest son is named Dustin though, and better known as Goldust.

Yeah, I knew that. I wasn't impressed with Goldust's image either.

His "AOR" albums are pretty cool.

Yeah, Dusty Rhodes was unfortunate along with Chevy Chase's character in The Three Amigos being called Dusty Bottoms.

I also copped a bit of shit when this Aussie movie was released when I was about 11.

Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin. 

Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it.

I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty.

For obvious reasons, I love this album.

Here's a couple of tracks.

Harpsichord. 

I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.

Another great Robert Mason track.

This time, with a band that's actually named after me.

I don't know how they knew, but the recognition is appreciated. 

Thanks guys.

So... Chris de Burgh?

Correct. 

Silent Witness - Can't Keep From Falling. 

One from another great album featuring Robert Mason. 

He really is a gun of a vocalist. 

Stephen Chesney - Annuit Coeptis (EP featuring Robert Mason). 

It's such a shame that this project never went beyond the EP stage.

Apparently Stephen Chesney was in a band called "Waking Jonah".

Apart from a version of "Breaking Down" on YouTube accredited to them, I can't find anything else about them.

Here's the 3 killer tracks from the EP, all quality. 

Robert Mason is a gun!

Listening to these tracks today, I thought i'd bump this thread and post the regrettably only 3 tracks from this Killer EP.

I don't know what happened with this project, but an album would have been nice.
