I know there are a few of you who still try and get out to some live shows. Just wondering who are some of the favorites so far this year.

Probably Night Ranger @ the O2. They were excellent once again and probably had an even better set list than in 2011.

 

Honourable mentions though to Halestorm - excellent but set list was too short at just over an hour.

 

Also Fatal Smile were surprisingly excellent at the Underworld in London - certainly blew Crazy Lixx away who were supporting - surprised me that!

I nearly forgot about the MOR Cruise this year. I s'pose it's because I'm already looking forward it next year. It was definitely a surreal experience This year has been a blur. Who else did I see?

BTW, have you checked out NIGHT RANGER's new acoustic album ? Looks like the best live disc so far this year, but haven't got access to the CD yet, so don't know when and where did they record that album ? Need to get hold of the DVD if it's available, very good show based on what I hear !

Been a very quiet year for me on the concert front (because no one's come to Australia!), but even if I'd seen a band per week I truly doubt anyone would touch Steel Panther. Saw them twice in February this year and it was magnificent.

Im sure that Night Ranger probably did do a great show, but personally I hate acoustic. Always have.

 

If a band plays an acoustic version of a song live, I usually go for a piss.

I'd say my Top 5 of this year (so far) would be... in no particular order:

 

CRASHDIET

STRYPER

KIX

NIGHT RANGER

RATT (first show with Juan)

 

Still have a few left before the end of the year,,,, so we'll see if this changes.

 

 

Oh... and the worst by far was Queensryche at Rocklahoma.

Halestorm & Reckless Love are both excellent live - you should enjoy them!

 

So it was Halestorm's turn yesterday...and yeah you were totally right! Fantastic sound, Lzzy in top form and great interaction with the crowd. Arejay is one hell of a drummer and showman and could as well be this generation's Tommy Lee! The only downpoint (besides Heaven's Basement not playing as support act) would be the length, which was only about 70 minutes.

Steel Panther still on top for me...

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
