I feel the same way about the last few Gotthard, so I understand where you are coming from. And I will admit to being a bit hasty with my post and including Ultraphobic to make my point. There were still enough hints of the old Warrant on that and some good tunes. I still stand by the Belly to Belly comparison though. To me, even lyrically that album is as far away from the old Warrant as you could get, but I think that was something Jani intended at the time. I would have preferred that the band had changed their name after Jani passed. My point was that people should at least give Rockaholic and their new one a shot despite it being nothing like the original Warrant sound. If they like it, great, and if they hate it, that's cool too.

Jorn has such a great voice. Worldchanger and Out to Every Nation were good records, but he seems to have plateaued a bit since then. I'm still waiting for him to put out a solo album that really blows me away.

I downloaded this today having enjoyed their debut and seeing all the positive comments. The production is great like everyone was saying. Haunters is worth getting but they lost some of the raw intensity that I liked about their first album.

Thanks for posting. I'm not familiar with the band, but they sound pretty good to me. Nice melodies.

Wow, without the video images, I'd swear it was some long lost Zeppelin songs. Thanks for posting. Good stuff, especially Highway Tune.

Thanks for posting, I never heard of the band before. Kind of reminds me of a more melodic Black Label Society, I enjoyed listening to it.

Good tune

I like my fair share of AC/DC influenced bands. This isn't bad, but nothing memorable. It lacks the fire that bands like Dirty Looks or even Airbourne have. I liked Jason w/ Dangerous Toys, but his voice sounds a little tired on this.

I like most of the things Michael Voss is involved with, but this song doesn't do anything for me. And the horrible video doesn't help their cause.

They may not sound the same as they did during their heyday and it is hard to think of Warrant without Jani Lane. But I would rather listen to Rockaholic any day over Belly to Belly or even Ultraphobic. Neither of which sounded like the old Warrant, even with Jani. Based on these preview tracks, if you enjoyed Rockaholic or are a fan of Robert Mason then I think it will be worth a purchase.

Good tune

Definitely intriguing news for fans of the band to possibly see them perform live again. I never really got into them, but I recall liking their song The Distance.

Not bad, singer sounds a little bit like Doro

Ousey still sounds great and with Moody and Murray involved it's no surprise the songs have got a soulful, bluesy 70's rock feel to them, good stuff

Some nice tunes, might be worth a purchase

I've never heard of them before, pretty good song

You are correct to question the absence of Le Roux - So Fired Up from my list of favorites of '83. That album was really good, especially Fergie's vocals, and could easily swap places with any of the titles I ranked between #'s 45 - 50. Lifeline, Carrie's Gone, Turning Point and the title track can each be found in many of my playlists.

Should be a great show, enjoy! I am hoping Eclipse will be able to be part of MRF5 next May, in the U.S.

I hadn't heard about that potential Genesis reunion. That would be a cool show to go to, especially with him.

These initial tracks sound spectacular, especially the first single, Sinking Ship. Has a great chorus and excellent guitar playing by Pete, as always. Thanks for sharing them. I'm really looking forward to getting this album when it's released next month.

Thanks for the welcome messages everyone, very much appreciated

Recently I took my dad to see a tribute band called Bostyx for his birthday. They are lead by David Victor who some may be familiar with from his solo album or his time with the band Velocity back in the 90's. I wasn't aware that he had actually toured with the band Boston as well, but I could see why as his vocal style fit really well with the songs. It was an intimate, acoustic set at a small venue just a few minutes from where I live. As much as I enjoyed the performance itself, getting to spend the evening with my father, who had a major influence on my musical tastes growing up, made it as memorable of a concert as I've been to in a long time.

Similar to Geoff, I'm pleasantly surprised to see these guys are still around as I thought their debut had some solid tunes. I enjoyed the video, but I'd probably only give the song a 4 out of 10. Pretty weak lyrically and doesn't have enough of a hook to overlook that.

pretty good song, thanks for posting

Red Hot - Motley Crue and Shotgun Messiah - tough call, but I will say Shotgun Messiah due to Harry Cody's killer guitar work Kiss of Death - Black 'n Blue, Dokken, L.A. Guns, Warlock, M.ILL.ION, Impera, Steevi Jaimz and Lizzy Borden - my pick is Dokken
