Place Vendome


The Rocker

Recommended Posts

Melodicrock.com has stated that Michael Kiske has agreed to a new Place Vendome cd for Summer 2013. In the writing process and I guess looking for outside writing help.

 

Can't wait for this!!!

Oh my god, I have just listened to the S/T disc in its entirety, and it's amazing! I already have Streets Of Fire on order, and I can't wait for the new disc! Great, great band!

Yes!

Lookin forward to that one, hopefully it'll blast 'Streets of Fire' off the board but looks like gonna be a tough job to defeat the s/t

The song - "Place Vendome" - simply brilliant. One of the most kickass, melodic songs I have heard in a while...

Love it!

Am i the only one not excited by those samples.

 

The first song is a BLATANT rip off of their own tune......the rest sound OK, but no more.

 

Sounds like a pass from me but i'll check it out on Spotify.

I some what agree,but when you have a debut album as good as the s/t our expectations are high and it would be hard to duplicate.

I agree with Glen, the samples aren't very impressive. Something about Kiske's singing is a bit too forced from these samples. I'll need full tunes to decide if I'll buy it.

Now those are lousy and cheesy inspiro rock lyrics. Not impressed with that, can't believe I might pass on a Place Vendome, after the first two releases were so good.

I feel like everyone's turned up to this thread stoned and I've the first sober person here. I really like what I'm hearing above... basically exactly what I expect to hear from Place Vendome. Will wait to I hear the full thing for an in-depth assessment, but sounds like business as usual... well, to me anyway. ;)

After those first 2 albums, this should have been a natural progression up and instead seems to stay in place. Sounds good but not what I expected.

Curious to see where y'all haters ended up with this one? I heard this today and it's good stuff. Worlds better than the debut, but obviously not as good as 'Streets of fire.'

 

I've been tossing off... I mean tossing and turning over the above hateful comments and was left disturbed by them. Disliking these new tunes to the point of losing interest in the band and possibly not even trying this CD really intrigues me.

 

It'd be like ignoring Vain because they never topped 'No Respect,' or Tesla because they never made an album better than 'The Great Radio Controversy.' Or a million other bands I could list who released their "signature" album early in their career and were never able to top it. And although these bands never topped a near-perfect disc, they still put out some fantastic music along the way.

 

As Place Vendome have done here. I truly don't think they will ever get close to matching 'Streets of fire,' but as evidenced by the new CD, it doesn't mean they're not capable of still releasing great CDs. I think everyone still likes the debut, don't they? Well like I say, imo, this new disc absolutely crushes the debut, if nothing else. And is a very good disc.

 

Harsh to give up on a band just because they can't replicate near-perfection, innit? ;)

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.
