Ok am i right in thinking that Erik Gronwall is the lead singer on Live In London? I was looking forward to hearing 1000 miles live, especially the climatic ending but he doesn't do it :( Kenny's vocal at the end of that tune is hairs on the back of the neck stuff. I'm guessing Erik can't replicate it.

Kenny was superior to Erik if you ask me, I doubt they'll ever top that Freedom Rock album.

 

You and me, brother, you and me.

The Korean Freedom Rock has Tonight as well as Living in a Memory. They're different mixes/recordings of those songs too so it's worth checking out.

 

The Korean Freedom Rock (never heard the Japan version) is actually somewhat different to the normal version. Besides a different track order, it lacks High on love and the songs themselves are quite different.. extra backing vocals here and there, slightly different guitar solos, more reverb in certain places. I dunno what the story with it is :)

Interesting, i wonder why that is and how many people actually know that

 

My favourite song so far is still 1000 miles but i haven't heard Address the Nation yet

I'm with you.

 

I never cared much for H.e.a.t when Kenny was leading. Sure, there were a couple songs that I thought were okay but never heard enough to even convince me to buy their first two albums. Don't get me wrong, Kenny is a good signer but just something about him that didn't click for me. His voice is just too smooth or something. And personally, I always got like a .38 Special type of vibe from him. And it wasn't the songs because I like all the old songs when I hear Erik singing them.

 

Erik took H.e.at to a different level for me and they've went from off my radar to being one of my favorite bands. I just think he's the total package and you really can't ask for much more in a front man.

 

 

Erik > Kenny live.

No contest

I will go one further and say Erik > Kenny live and in the studio.

Nearly every song on it is better than 1000 miles. Different league imo.

at the end of the day, the H.E.A.T contest will be like DLR vs Hagar :D

 

It's not really for me, to be honest. Kind of a non-issue if I'm telling the truth. I like all 4 HEAT albums so far. If I'm being picky, the last album was their first one that had a few fillers for me (more than the one on each of the first two), but that doesn't mean I prefer everything Leckremo did over Gronwall.

 

I just like it all. The spread of their best songs would be very evenly divided over their four discs for me, so I'm not really interested in who was the better frontman as I really dig them both.

Agree with Geoff, I like all 4 but the band has an edge and energy now that appeals to me more. I could see why people would prefer it the other way around as well. Maybe the next one will seal it for me ;)

H.E.A.T was benefited heavily with the presence of Erik because he's a Swedish-idol champion, and probably that's also the thing that got em major label contract. Good for them to have more fans and I do think both Erik and Kenny have their own strength and can't separate which one is better, both are excellent and all 4 albums to me are essential :)

I love the band but I do find the 4th album the weakest of them all. They kinda adopted this "tough guys" image and the songs got a bit heavier, somewhat crashdiet-ish in places? Talking about masturbating and ecstasy in HEAT songs just seems...wrong! :P I think Erik needs to chill out a bit on stage too.. The spitting into the air thing is just...bizzare, and fairly gross.. especially as last time he failed to 'catch' it and it hit him right in the eye. I feel his vocals seem to suffer a bit with all the gurning and hopping about he feels the need to do.

 

Bar Point of no return, Mannequin show (that one grew on me unexpectedly) we will never die, Emergency and Enemy in me, the rest of the stuff gets skipped.. which is a shame.I'll put it down to them losing Dave (who had a LOT of writing credits) and just assume they were still finding their feet.. High hopes for the next album!

 

The first 3 albums are classics though, with my order of preference being Address the Nation, Freedom Rock then the self titled... I think there's only 1 weak song on each of those albums. (Heartbreaker, Shelter and Straight Up). Freedom Rock is especially brilliant if your a fan of fantastic guitar solos :)

 

Forgot to say, the Korean Freedom Rock also has another big difference, on Black Night, Tobias Sammet sings most of the song, singing the entire second verse as well as the first.

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      Deep Purple announce new album =1 (July 19, 2024 via earMusic)

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
