Love it but me thinks Stan must of been listening to Def Lepp's Animal before writing as there is a BIG similarity even down to the Whao's... 

I forgot to mention that, but yeah, definite Def Lep influence.

Ok, Stan. You keep that up, and I might be interested again.

 

Anyone else giggle a little at the guitar solo, though?

From rockngrowl.com:

“Dare to Dream” is STAN BUSH’s 14th the studio album and is a masterpiece. The epic track “Born to Fight” is being featured in a worldwide promotion campaign on Netflix in October 2020 for their two most popular anime shows, BAKI and Kengan Ashura. Netflix is also releasing a music video on YouTubewith performance footage of Stan and clips from the shows.

The “Dare to Dream” album also includes the hit single “The 80’s” released last  summer along with a popular music video. The title song, “Dare to Dream” is  about believing in yourself and letting go. There’s no limit to what we can do if  we just “Dare to Dream”. Another great track, “The Times of Your Life” is about  living life to the fullest and remembering every moment. These songs offer a ray  of hope in today’s troubled times. There are powerful ballads and memorable  songs throughout this amazing album.

Would I be embarrassed to play this in front of someone? Yes. And that's big for me, because I don't care otherwise, unless it's christian rock... which I'm embarrassed to listen to myself, let alone in front of others. 

But anyway, yes, this is cheesy and embarrassing, but goddamn if I don't find myself unable to resist the first three songs, 'The 80's' and 'Home.' I enjoy those five songs, but the rest is just too pathetic for words, lol. He really is a lyrical club to the face.

The thing I can't believe as I listen to this album is how he releases these songs as original pieces. When you say "never give up" and "dare to dream" and talk about the time of your life and never giving up on your dreams in every song you write... how can every song not just be the same as the last you recorded, let alone ones from an album 50 or so years into your career? I don't know how he does it, but good luck to him. It's dreadful, but it's fun to listen to in very, very short bursts.

Yes, the message is certainly different coming from a young artist drawing inspiration from the '80s than from someone who has been doing it since the '80s. Sometimes the game just passes you by.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
