I quite like that song, but do not understand why if you have Francis Rossi on it, why not let you hear he is on it.

No point having a guest star if you are not even going to allow them to put their unique sound into the song.

Unlike most here who seem to think Gotthard should be exactly as they were with Steve singing, I like the recent stuff and am looking forward to this album.

I loved "Bang!". Didn't like "Silver" very much though.

Cool.
All you can do is listen with an open mind.

With Gotthard, when Steve died, the music was never going to be as it was.
To a degree they became a new band, like Warrant did with new singers, and I try to assess the material without comparing.

I am not one of those who hated Gotthard post-Steve, in fact I love some of their songs, but I do not see Warrant as a viable comparison.

While Gotthard may have changed their sound a bit, they have done that several times over the years, even with Steve (and yes, so did Warrant). The one thing they did that sets them totally apart from Warrant is Gotthard went out of their way to try and get someone who sounds similar to Steve, Warrant never did that with Jani's replacements.

Gotthard post-Steve still sounds like Gotthard, Warrant post-Jani does not sound like Warrant.

 

The one thing that they really do both share in common though is they both lost great singers who just so happened to be their main song writer, and that is where they have both suffered somewhat.

Warrant live sounded like Jani pretty well, but the new music was its own.
And I'm ok with that.

To a degree, bringing in a clone and trying to replicate what had worked in the past is doomed to fail.
Not saying that Gotthard did that, Steve's voice was probably less unique than Jani's

That's 100% all of it in a nutshell. 100% about the song writers. 

Warrant without Lane are a completely different band with a quality of song that is so far off what Lane brought to Warrant. Regardless of singers and how different their actual sound is... the main thing was only ever the song writing for me.

And Gotthard is arguably an even greater example of how important the song writer is. Not important, but essential. Soundwise, Gotthard never skipped a beat in terms of their authentic sound. But Steve Lee's death showed in no uncertain terms that he was their song writer and the one that made them a great band. Since his most untimely departure, they've been awful and with Lane and Lee gone, I honestly believe there is never a chance that either band will ever be decent again. :(

Yeah, if you look at some of the bands that have changed singers over the years and still been good, they are usually bands where another member was the main song writer. Motley Crue for instance released a fantastic album after Vince left because Sixx is the main song writer.

Warrant is a band that may have got derided somewhat during their heyday, but it was years later once people got beyond "Cherry Pie" that you could see just how great Lane was as a writer, and had he not gone down the drink and drugs route he did, he could have easily transitioned into a Desmond Child role. I think Jani could have written for almost any style of musician.

      I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.

      I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year.

      The Angels - Ninety Nine

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

      Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
