If only it was any single other project he's ever been involved in, ever. Anything but more Skintrade.

Sounds excellent. Always been a fan of Alfonzetti. One of the best singers out there.

Can you elaborate on that please? I've never listened to Skintrade much, mostly Refueled and I like that a lot.

'Refuelled' is actually okay. Easily the best Skintrade album. 

If he takes this group in a melodic direction, I don't mind, but the song above doesn't fill me with confidence. 

Anyway, what I mean by it is that Alfonzetti is a wonderful melodic rock artist. Absolutely love his stuff. But Skintrade was his mid-90's obligatory "sell-out" project where he tried to fit in with the grunge and more metal scene. Those two CDs from 1993 and 1995 are purely him trying to fit in with what was going on at the time, and they're shit, imo. Rubbish typical mid-90's garbage from an artist not strong enough to stick to his guns. 

In my opinion, of course.

His first solo album was fantastic. The cover of Blowing Up Detroit is marvellous.

Yeah, his solo stuff is very good. Well, except for 'Machine,' which could have passed for a Skintrade record.

Wow, they open the album with 'Woman?' Very weak. 

'Tower' is kind of OK. 

[Stefan]

New song 'Show Must Go On'.

Heard this album and disliked it. I don't think they can un-suck.
