  1. Anyone else think this sounds garbage?

    It doesn't do much for me. It doesn't have memorable songs at all IMO. The production isn't mindbreaking either, it's quite rubbish for a band as big as whitesnake.

     

    That said. I have allways loved most of the albums especially Saint and sinners, Slide it in, 1987 and Slip of the tongue.

     

    Bad to the bone was enjoyable but it had a few fillers in between the really good songs.

  2. Ok, I was sitting at the computer today thinking about who could be the new singer for Gotthard (one of my favorite bands).

     

    For me the best way to go is an unknown singer who has a similar voice as Steve Lee. And he should have great song writing skills as well. Don't want them to change to a change in the musical direction.

     

    What do you all think?

  3. From MelodicRock.com:

     

    Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the Self-Titled come back album from King Kobra on April 15 in Europe and May 5 in North America.

    Formed in 1984 by legendary drummer Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne), Los Angeles heavy metal outfit King Kobra recorded two critically acclaimed albums for Capitol Records the 1985 release 'Ready to Strike' and 1986's 'Thrill of a Lifetime'.

    Along with Carmine, the band featured four relatively unknown musicians at the time David Michael-Philips and Mick Sweda on guitar, Johnny Rod on bass and Mark Free on lead vocals. King Kobra toured the U.S., Canada, Europe and Mexico playing shows with Kiss, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, Ted Nugent, Queensryche and Autograph.

    The band was featured regularly on MTV and performed the theme song for the #1 1986 motion picture "Iron Eagle". After disbanding in 1988, each member continued his career in other successful major-label groups - Carmine to Blue Murder (Geffen), Mark Free to Unruly Child (Interscope), Mick Sweda to the BulletBoys (Warner Bros.), Johnny Rod to W.A.S.P. (Capitol/EMI) and David Michael-Philips to Lizzy Borden (Metal Blade).

     

    The year 2010 saw the band reunite the original classic '85 lineup, replacing original singer Mark Free (now Marcie Free) with veteran lead vocalist Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot). This album captures all the great points we had in the 80's, but better says Carmine Appice The music is more traditional King Kobra music. Great lyrics, kick ass songs with cool hooks and really good playing. A really great hard rock/metal record with lots of energy. David Michael-Phillips adds It truly is an all-star album. Paul Shortino is amazing! I can honestly say he is one of the best vocalists in the business along with being one of the nicest and most generous people I have ever met.

    The band is planning to get on some targeted American and European summer festivals this year. Watch out: King Kobra is smokin' hot, back stronger than ever and "Ready to Strike" once again!

     

    The new album King Kobra will include the following tracks: Rock This House, Turn Up The Good (Times), Live Forever, Tear Down The Walls, This Is How We Roll, Midnight Woman, We Got A Fever, Tope Of The World, You Make It Easy, Cryin' Turns To Rain, Screamin' For More, Fade Away.

    I listened to the samples and I think they smoke. It feels like the snake is back and strike with a vengeance. Shortino sounds more vital than I've heard him in a long time. H e sings his lungs out.

     

    Really looking forward to this release%2
