Not sure who these bands are or what this is about but it at least looks interesting...

rum_babas_1990.jpg?w=300&h=213

 

When: Saturday 20 November 2010 - 7:30pm

 

Where: Sandringham Hotel – 387 King Street – Newtown

 

One of Australia’s finest all-girl outfits the Rum-Babas will do a one-off re-union show soon in Sydney as support to the also re-formed Vanilla Chainsaws. Newcastle outfit The Dragstrippers will kick off the evening. I really should alter that photo at left to read ’2010′ but it’s a cool image to accompany this news piece. Be there !

How rubbish that it's the Tracii Guns version of LA Guns touring... not sure if I will be going as I'm going away for that weekend. If the Eels are playing on Friday night I'll give the concert a miss but if not I might try to get out there.

 

As for Stryper, yeah they were very good. Particularly guitar-wise. I was delighted to see Sweet and Fox retain that awesome sound/style you hear on the CDs. The song selection was only so-so for me, with a few of the songs I just dislike ('Sing a song' or whatever it's called. As I said to Matt, I don't even know as I always skip that song. But they opened with it and it just dragged awfully. I didn't like 'Honestly' at all either [why didn't they do 'Lady' instead?] and there were about 2 other songs I just plain and simply didn't like) BUT it was still very enjoyable and I loved their sound. Highlight of the set was probably the sole representitive from 'Against the Law,' which was 'All for one.' The encore was awesome too. Loved that.

 

Glaring ommissions were 'In god we trust' and 'Always there for you' and I truly don't understand why the albums 'In God We Trust' and 'Against the Law' were so heavily overlooked. Still, aside from that, never thought I'd see Stryper in my lifetime so it was a good night. Good to see "Happy Snapper" Matt and meet Vince after the show too.

 

And seriously, man it was loud. I was at the back of the room and my ears still got raped. I assume it's because they're probably more used to bigger venues in their prime, but some bands seem to heavily estimate how loud they turn it up on the night... Would have loved a slightly less loud and clearer sound for my benefit. ;)

Unfortunely i came down with gastro on Saturday and miss the gig. What i have heard it was went down awesome, sad that Nothing Sacred did not play due to Woolley didn't turn up. It finished around about 1 a.m. Sunday morning, and merchandise of performing artists i don't know if there was for sale.

    • So finally got around to listening to the album (still waiting for CD to arrive but at least a digital version came with the order). This is defo the best album he has released since leaving Skid Row, and is better than anything released by his former band (even the Erik fronted album). I liked his solo stuff, but he was always trying too hard to be modern and heavy, so there were very few actual stand out tracks. On here though it really is more of a throwback. While not quite classic Skid Row, it is probably as close as we will ever get, kinda sitting somewhere sonically between the first two albums. The only downside for me is the fact there is only one ballad and it doesn't even come close to the two that featured on Angel Down. Seb took a long break between this and his previous album, and I think in that time he has taken time to reevaluate what he wants to do musically. As stated earlier, even the album cover is a throwback with it being a painting his father started decades ago. Hopefully any future releases will stick to this style, and not return to the style used on his last few albums.
    • Not sure, but sounds like christian lyrics to me. And could'nt find it on HH yet. 25 years ago I would have loved this, today I'm atheist and do not listen anymore to such... explicit lyrics.  
    • Spider of Destiny-Frank Zappa
    • I got it for free when I bought the Dirty Americans album. It's a cool little sampler.
    • Ha, I remember them. Good stuff.
    • Better than I expected, honestly, as GUN was never my thing.
    • Agree. Have been a fan of Halestorm and Lzzy....she's fantastic. That said though, this Skid Row thing just feels "off" to me.  She sounds fine but I think it's simply that hearing a female voice do the songs just doesn't seem right after listening to the originals for so long.   I much prefer hearing Lzzy in Halestorm.  I'd rather see her concentrate on that and also concentrate on doing new music that's more in line with their first 2 albums!
    • From memory it was recorded after the original pledge release of Beautiful things and was added as a bonus song when it became available to the general public.
