.....of the 40 or so I have heard I am pretty attached to the Lonely Heart CD. To me it has a very unique sound and I thought all the songs were very good. Only problem I found was everything seemed to sound the same. Same is OK with me though. As for a 2nd & 3rd thats pretty hard to tell. I was impressed with most I heard. There was some that I wouldnt keep but most had at least one outstanding song on them.

O/w, Lorraine, Pretty Boy, Defcon, Mariah- S/T, Isom, Fire With Fire, Fierce Heart, Stranger- No More Dirty Deals, Crush- ...This, and the first Cuttlass album are all some of the excellent RR discs that stand out in my modest collection :headbanger: ......Jeff.

Nice selection there. I'd agree, except I'm yet to hear Isom or Feirce Heart. :( I forgot about Crush as I'm lucky enough to have an original, but that is a great CD. No doubt one of the best on the label.

I think I've been outbid 4-5 times on e-bay for an original copy of Crush so far :doh: , probably one of my top ten favorite albums. Whenever I want to remind myself of why I became interested in MHR in the first place, I spin that CD.........So, here's a toast to your venerated (and much coveted) original copy :beerbang:, may it live a long and pampered life.........Jeff.

Yeah, and the funny this is it only cost me less than us$10 off ebay when I bought it... though that was about 8 or 9 years ago now. :)

after melting another RR baby i decided to include it in my top also. i'm talking 'bout graven image.although a LA band i consider them an OH band(they moved from OH to LA searching for some success)....the cd has 1-2 weak moments(beat, wish you were dead) mostly in their effort to get some airplay, me thinks....but their heart belongs to pure US metal....trax like soul crusher, gates of steel and the unbelievable the silent truth do it for me....every time i'm listening to this monster i grab my shield'n'stormbringer and run to the nearest hill outside my office screaming and shouting(just to scare some lovely hares and foxes there)....pounding riffing and high pitched vox is my cup of tea,my ticket to asgard....needless to say that when i'm listening to this baby i feel the urge to eat at least 50 thrash/punkers for breakfast.... :lol:

 

 

edit: and also atomik cocktail is doing it very fine so far from me....yeah, some jewels are really hidden in the floridian swamps. i only pray and hope that sam will convince matt harding to release some of the apostle stuff, release the steel angel album and the 2nd unreleased lp from the mighty thatcher.....

I absolutely love Cobra Dane even though I don't own it. I just wish it had better sound and I owned a copy. The cds I have need a bit more work on the inserts and some need more work on remastering the music. I'm guessing that some tracks are as good as they're going to get, but it's still a bit disheartening to hear songs that sound like they were from a second generation cassette copy. Soundwise I think Gypsy Blue is the best release I have, but Nasty Nasty isn't far behind and I like it much better.

 

Not sure if what I just wrote made any sense, but I hope it did. From what I hear the newer releases are much better quality. We shall see at Rocklahoma. I'm going to get quite a few signed cds. Any chance I can score a copy of Cobra Dane?

I definately have to add Freakshow & Wildstreet to my list! Fantastic albums that prove that this music is still alive and well. :bowdown:

I really like these three:

 

The Action - 'Louder than words' ; good, solid 80's melodic rock/AOR with some nice keys for the whusses out there. ;) But seriously, very good disc.

 

The Blitz - 'Get it on' ; if you love Autograph, check this one out. Very much in the style of Autograph, but complimentary too. I really enjoy this disc.

 

Demure - s/t ; a few fillers, but some really strong material. One of my favourite releases from Retrospect overall.

 

The shitter? Both my car and one of my home stereos do not play CDRs anymore so airtime for these discs in my ears is very limited, but all are very good.

      Sebastian Bach New Single... What Do I Got To Lose

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      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.

      White Hotel - Walk By Faith

      By swisspaddy · Posted

      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.

      I got it for free when I bought the Dirty Americans album. It's a cool little sampler.

      Better than I expected, honestly, as GUN was never my thing.

      Erik Gronwall leaves Skid Row

      By tts42572 · Posted

      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!

      Melodic Hard Rock Song of the Day

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      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.
