Bormann can belt but I need a lyric video for this one

Posted

Actually, it's not nearly as bad as I thought before I clicked the video, based on the responses above. That said, other than the lyrics, it bears ZERO resemblance to the original song.

Nope couldnt understand any of that.

Agreed...at least Bormann may have made that a tad better but I doubt it...you cant polish a turd :)

That's not Bormann dude!

 

Alexx Stahl of Purple Rising and Roxxcalibur took over when Bormann couldn't immediately join the band. Stahl was supposed to be a temporary fill-in but they liked him so much, he is now the permanent singer.

Oh shit, good call. I read the thread title and figured that was him signing on this single. I've never listened to any of Alexx Stahl's previous work

Not bad, not great. The new dude has quite an accent... but sounds not a thing like Michael Bormann. ;)

Or Bonfire for that matter.

Yeah, that song sounds nothing like Bonfire at all.

Han is embarrassing himself now.

Actually not a bad sounding song... but it's not Bonfire in any way whatsoever. I think that if the very same song were being offered by a heretofore unknown band, people would me much more accepting.

I agree. The dude can sing and it's a decent song.

Yeah, I like it too. Good song, but it definitely should not have the Bonfire name attached to it. No semblance of anything Bonfire ever were. But a good tune.

Just don't call it Bonfire and I'm good with that.

 

Song isn't bad but calling it Bonfire is blasphemy!

Stoked to check out this album tomorrow. Really enjoy Parying 4 a Miracle.

 

Could be a nice surprise

Posted

THIS. IS. FIRE.

 

95%

 

Alex can flat out sing. The dude is fantastic. Great choice by Hans

 

Catchy songs with great melodies and soaring guitars

 

The ballad "Without You" is utterly fantastic. It's ripped right out of the 80's, lighters up. It really showcases Alex's voice and the solo by Hans is amazing

 

This is exactly how I like my hard/melodic rock

 

Disappointed it isn't on vinyl but that doesn't subtract from the quality work here

 

Highly recommended and a very, very nice surprise in the first half of 2017

Posted

All one has to do to enjoy it is take a Sharpie and ink out the name "Bonfire" everywhere it appears and insert some other band name. Easy.

Posted

I got half way through this last night........2 good songs, 'Praying 4 A Miracle' (good song but let's face it its just Khymera....nought to do with Bonfire) and 'Lonely Nights' was a decent ballad.

 

The rest.........were just dreadfully clichéd standard hard rock with some pretty cringy lyrics.....pretty much all automatic skips for me :(

 

I'll resume later from Reach For The Sky and report back.

I actually thought this sounded like a really enjoyable album. It has nothing to do with Bonfire (as evidenced when you hear the dude struggle through 'Sweet Obsession'), but it's a really good, traditional melodic hard rock album. I need a few more spins to get an in-depth view of it, but I thought it sounded like the best thing Bonfire have done in several decades. Just a shame it doesn't sound like Bonfire, at all.

    • Very nice, I have the Ltd Edition 13 track cd The Demo Recordings that they released on Steel Legacy in 2013.
    • Is Eonian releasing this one? I bought their debut direct from them but this one isn't available for pre-order from them atm (I did back their Kickstarter campaign back in August for this new release but it didn't make the target)..and Eonian reissued the debut...anyone know? Great album btw
    • BTW, @Darkstone, thanks for mentioning the Playlist thing above. I must admit I hadn't even really considered it before you mentioned it, but in my down-time between credits, I've been spending all my time going through my library getting my keepers into their yearly Playlists. Very badly needed, and great seeing things tidied up a bit. So thanks for the comment/tip.  
    • That was interesting. Dude said he'd made about 1000 songs. Does he mean 1000 created tunes, and he's picked a handful from them as keepers, or does he have 1000 finished songs he's working with? When he was rattling off all those bits from the Bible he had songs for, I came away from the video thinking he might actually have 1000 songs he's planning to release.  Dude's the biblical version of me, lol. Not quite 1000, but if I were to release all 250 of mine (and with the tsunami of interest I've had so far, why the hell wouldn't I?!) that's not far off 1000, kind of.  Anyway, even though it was just the choruses and it's very religious, I thought his tunes sounded well polished. He was talking about mastering them, and I wondered if he'd already mastered the ones he shared. They sounded good.  But yeah, he made fair points. It's interesting hearing a musician go with Suno, as Udio seems to be the go-to popular one for musicians.  Interesting. I usually get the emails, but I didn't get that one. lol, I hope I'm still on their mailing list.  I'd love to see a decent version of V4. The vocals were definitely better and more varied and I did get some good actual song results, but like I said above, the sound quality was so terrible on them I either can't use them, or in some cases am just going to have to grin and bare it and hope to the lord above there comes a way to remaster these songs into something workable. I doubt it, though, as everything else so far seems to take on the poor audio of what precedes it. What I mean by that is that if you cover a song with poor audio, the cover will also have poor audio. If you remaster something it retains the poor audio. Persona songs feature the poor audio of the persona you're using if it comes from a song that didn't have great audio. The Extend feature definitely extends poor audio (as it should to as to keep the song flowingm if that's what it is), and in the case of V4, amplifies it. At this point in time, my number one christmas list wish from Suno would be a feature that polishes any single song in your library already, or any future poor audio result. Call it remaster, or what you will. But it'd be sublime to get everything on an even, strong level of audio quality. So disappointing to get a killer result with really poor audio. Which is another rant I've meant to drop in the past, and I'll spare you, but in a nutshell, I find that you can get a good solid song with a nice polished sound. But anything that comes out really quite "unique" for Suno AI seems to always feature poorer audio. It seems that going out on a limb with something "different" doesn't really gel with the "standard" audio quality. Which is a bummer, because I love those outliers. The second song on my album, 'Waiting,' is the perfect example. I find that audio track to be utter filth, and there's no way I was ever going to pass on it, but it's equal with the worst audio quality I've heard come from Suno yet ('Why' and 'Suffer,' and even 'Faith to Fall' all suffer from similarly wretched audio, but I couldn't pass on them either). In the future I would love to not have to settle for poor audio to get a killer result, but get the best of both worlds.  Exclude styles has been there even on the Create screen? I never noticed. I saw someone use it once on youtube where they created a song with certain instruments, then did a version of it excluding them. Which is I guess what it's there for, but it's hard to see a real word scenario for that unless you're doing ultra-experimental stuff. If you're, for instance, focused on rock and metal I can't see there being much use for it. Unless, like you say, you have a random piano, which I'm yet to experience. Had piano in results, but no unwanted ones yet.  It truly seems like they released it without actually testing it, if I'm being honest. Like I said, there's a couple of good ideas in it but it's like they were so keen to get those ideas out that they didn't actually test that any of it actually worked properly. 
    • And he's done it again, crackin' song  
    • Some say that by using AI, we're actually tapping into some form of, for want of a better term, "Demonic" spiritual energy or force, so it's interesting that Pastor Brad has embraced it.
    • I'm sure you received the same email as I did a few days ago letting us know that you can toggle between V4 and V3.5. It looks like they've received a lot of negative feedback. The good news is they reckon V4 will be greatly improved in a couple of weeks. We're very happy with V3.5 at the moment and I'm guessing it's vastly superior to V1 or V2, etc, so I have faith that each new version will end up surpassing the last eventually.  I'm gonna hold off "releasing " mine to see how good the remaster option becomes in a few weeks. The "exclude styles" option has been available for a month or so now. I thought it would be handy to use on extensions to exclude piano and avoid the endless run off at the end, but it hasn't really worked. Not sure what else you'd use it for TBH.
