T-BONE

Sure glad they got Nuno....

Not too bad.... I'm hoping the rest of his new material goes back to the more melodic side and a little less heavy than previous solo stuff.

Yeah, I hadn't really ever seen it mentioned much, but he doesn't shy away from the fact they existed in this interview I saw recently. Nothing juicy in it, but at least he doesn't seem embarrassed to acknowledge them;

 

Funny thing about that Southgang footage is you'd swear they were a three piece band if you were unfamiliar with them. Appreciate Jesse Harte isn't part of the continued story, but he's definitely been sliced out of that old footage. 

Anyway, as for new M3, holy shit! Where on earth did that come from?? Had no idea this was even be a consideration again. Neither song has the immediate impact of their older works, but I'm sure this will be a good album and I don't really care if it's perfect or not - just can't wait to hear them back together again. Can't believe how soon the release date is too. Very excited. 

 

I think when Jesse left to try and fill Jani's spot in Warrant in the early 90's, it really sat spur with the other 3 guys. Here's one of the Demos if you've never heard it

I just stumbled across this power trio.... not too bad at all. The vocalist reminds me of a cross between Lex Koritni and Chris Cornell in some tunes. Nice production and good sound.

Welcome back.

I'm always reading.... just not posting too much 😉

Other than the Ready To Strike album in 85, every other release by KK blows goats..... very weak on multiple levels. The only highlights were Sweda and Philips.

Side note: I never did understand all the Googoo about Mark Free..... He was decent, but overrated in my opinion

Good lord..... they sound like they were down tuned a full step and sang with much less enthusiasm...

I've had the demo version of this for many years. Wasn't an official version released in the mid-2000s?

( I prefer the more unpolished demos Over the official release)

The balance of this album is off.... too much mid tempo stuff and not enough hard rock. Don't get me wrong... decent songs, but they need more hard rock as this album only has 3 heavy tunes.

I'd love to hear some new Julliet material. Kenny's Heartless Daze releases had some good shit on it. A few I didn't care for, but all in all it was good.

Yep, two good songs so far. 

To be honest, they're a dead consistent band. Their debut is shit, but since 'Silver side up' they've basically stuck to a formula that seems to work very well and every album is pretty similar in terms of quality. None are flawless, but good stuff on all of them... except the debut.

 

Yeah.... Curb was the oddball I didn't like. 

John 5 was the rumored replacement, but I'm leaning towards DJ Ashba considering he opened his mouth stating he played on Saints Of Los Angeles and assisted on other stuff.

This is sad news. I really liked Frontline back in the early 2000s and I loved all of their releases. Robby was a fantastic guitar player.

I kind of got excited when these guys are going to do something again. I flashed through about 20 seconds of each song and went to something else. Not sure what they were going for here but they completely missed

There was a band in the 80s called White Tiger... Mark St John (Kiss) played guitar. When I first saw the title of this album I thought maybe it was some demos from that '80s band until I noticed the spelling of the band name. As the others have stated, the production is kind of tinny on this one but I liked the direction they were going. I wouldn't mind hearing this album re-recorded with a decent production

I finally got a chance to listen to this album on a long drive home last night. My vehicle has a decent sound system in it so I cranked it to a respectable volume and I was pretty Blown Away and how poor the production was on this. Especially considering it is a journey album. The production I would say is a 3 out of 10 at best.... the songs were mostly unmemorable with only two or three that I kind of tapped my foot to.... mucho Sadness.....

I had access to dad's albums which spanned The Carpenters to The Beatles, Elvis, Kenny Rogers, Bread, Del Shannon, the Stones, ABBA and so on.... in 1983, during "free time" at school (4th grade), a classmate brought in an album with an ugly metal mask on the front and started on Slick Black Cadillac..... the nun from across the hall came in and immediately removed the record, but it was too late. I spent my saved allowance on that cassette and it was quickly followed by Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry and then Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil...

This is getting stupid..... just hang it up already. The revolving door of members in these 80s bands is ridiculous

Does anyone even give 2 shits and a squirt what these people's opinions are on anything?

Why do so many of them use their "status" as a soap box to continously mouth off and spout their politics and views on everything?

Has your opinion about them changed because of their constant bullshit spewing in the news or social media? Actors you refuse to watch their movies anymore? Musicians you'll no longer listen to? Sports you gave up watching?

There was a 2nd one? I've only heard that 5 song EP they did a few years back...

Many of the hard rock fans (DIO, Maiden, etc..) I know all have soft spots for Air Supply and ABBA.

I grew up with the 50's-70's A.M. Gold stuff before I discovered hard rock in 1983ish... everything from Elvis Presley to The Beatles to Dan Fogelberg to Bread to The Carpenters (I found them creepy once I found out they were brother and sister) to Del Shannon, etc... then I found The Eagles, Journey and Toto around 2nd grade. Then a classmate came into the 4th grade classroom and put on this album with a big metal mask on the school's record player (I went to catholic elementary School) and it took the nun from across the hall all of 15 seconds to come over snapping about that music.... too late... I was hooked

So.... there I was... watching old episodes of the TV show Hunter (1985).... and this comes on. Never heard it before but kinda dug it...

It took me a while to find out what it was... until my dumb ass downloaded SHAZAM and it told me

Apparently you can get it here

Saw them in St Paul on March 14th... Although I like more Journey songs, Toto blew them out of the water. Arnel seemed to be struggling, the set was very short with at least 4 extended Schon solos, Deen sang Mother Father and the backup keyboard player (Jason Derletka?) sang something as well. Decent show and Arnel is a ball of energy, but he definitely was struggling to hit the higher notes.

Ronnie is pumping out a lot of stuff lately. Sad to see what he's going through.

I hope this one is stronger than the last one. It was ok, but not near the debut. I think Erik is spreading himself a little too thin with all these side projects. I haven't really even been too excited for the last few Eclipse albums. The songs are sounding too much alike.

I call BS... if anybody has seen the videos from the kiss kruise and some of the stuff from Genes Vault Experience, you notice that Vinnie had a hell of a time even trying to play a guitar. It's almost like he had not touched one in the last 20 years. If you combine that with all of the no-shows at his own meet and greets in the last 2 years, I'm still calling BS
