Rock on 2020! #mcqueenstreet #derekwelsh #rockon #music #livemusic #newsinglecomingsoon

[Geoff]

Incredibly random, but cool news. I'll take it. 

[Captain Howdy]

Probably end up with yet another band sounding nothing like they used to.

 

[AlphaMale]

I know Chris the drummer died in 1994. Not sure if the other two guys are involved or not.

New/old single "Bad Moon" will be released soon. It appeared on McQueen Street "2" disc.

Sad. Do you know how he died?

He was bad off on drugs. Didn't OD. Died of a viral infection or something.

From Wiki:

After struggling with drug addiction and the long and taxing process of recovery, Derek's brother and former drummer Chris Welsh passed away in 1994 due to a viral illness.

Jeez, sounds like a rough few years. I can't even remember if I knew they were brothers.

So have the re-recorded this or are they just releasing a single 17 years late?

I was under the impression they remixed them and were re-releasing them.

[AlphaMale]

Still a kickass tune.

cool

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Not bad, at all. I could do with a whole album of that.

Yup. Good stuff!!

 

[Dead Planet]

Nice...

[shamus]

Wow! Last I heard the singer was in a coma from a serious head injury on a tennis court. Glad to hear he's back in action. Didn't know his brother had passed away either. Looking forward to their 3rd release.

 

Anyone know where I can find a bonafide edition of McQueen Street 2 on cd? The one released by the band not the Russian boot.

[Geoff]

That's a good continuation of form after a long absence. Way to hold onto their style. 

It's a cool song but I hope a future release would have a fuller, ballsier sound (particularly those drums) that we have become accustomed to from these guys. 

[headbanger4life]

So are they re-releasing their second album with additional tracks?  If I remember, that second one was just sold as a cd-r (at least that's what mine was when I bought it). I would love to get an updated copy of it and maybe better sound with some new tracks.

[Thrasher82]

THIS IS IT !! This is the oldskool metal comeback i've been waiting on.  Sounds 90's still. Derek Welsh is on top form here and still sounds awesome !

[Metal T]

Wasn't the singer in a coma several years ago...?  If so this is one hell of a come back-good for him!

[lettard]

Sounds really good,just like its lifted off the debut...which is music to my ears.
