MARIAH


Recommended Posts

Before anyone starts speculating or making silly assumptions I want to make extremely clear why Mariah is no longer on the website.

 

When I signed Mariah 8 months ago I had no idea what can of worms I was about to open. An amazing band that left behind so much great music , but also harbored alot of resentment towards each other. Jimmy DiLella , Tim Compton , Johnny Dee and David Livingstone were all aware of these releases and have been paid. Dennis Lind and the original drummer Curt for whatever reason were not found and/or contacted (Jimmy's decision not mine).

 

Therefore until contractual obligations are re-negotiated I have removed Mariah from the website until Dennis and Curt and the rest of the guys come to an agreement.

 

Mariah '3' has been put on hold until these contracts and personal differences have been sorted out.

 

Dennis has been great to deal with and I've let him know how much his music and his voice are appreciated within the AOR / Melodic Rock community. I hope you all agree.

 

He has informed me that there is much more unreleased Mariah material as well as a lot of songs he'd like to put together for a solo album (I've heard one song and it's just as killer as the Mariah stuff)

 

I have not been crucified by any members of Mariah and I shouldn't be by anyone here. I had permission from 4/5 ths of the band and I am doing the RIGHT thing by completing the puzzle.

 

Mariah has been the biggest selling band on Retrospect Records and I plan on keeping it that way.

 

Thanks for your support and let's hope we can keep Mariah together as a cohesive productive unit!

Ok quick update , I just got off the phone with Dennis and it's all good including the release of Mariah '3'....

 

I guess I may have been too quick to explain what was essentially 'nothing'.

 

Anyhoo , if there are any Mariah fans who'd like to get in touch with Dennis , hear a new song , or give him some fan mail , don't hesitate to visit his site at www.dennislind.com

 

We are really excited about the prospects for Mariah in 2007 and we may even release a dvd , or do a few dates in Europe.

 

Thanks for listening to my ramblings....just trying to use the 'honesty is the best policy' theme....

    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.    
    • Super Sabre - Sugar and Spice *This is actually a full album, “Chasing the Rabbit”, with a complete band backstory included in the YT description. “Sugar and Spice” is the opening track…
