Aordave89 Opening Act

Guess one of the positives working from home is I have more time to listen to music. Couple of months ago I decided to revisit my AOR/Hair Metal/Melodic Rock collection, feels great to spin these albums again.

Double Eclipse - Absolute classic of our genre. No doubt at all. Stunning from start to finish. Nice to hear Schon cut loose and Gioeli is in top form. One of my favourites from 1992. 

On an album full of perfection I always had a soft spot for ‘I’ll Be There’. Superb track.

If anyone saw these guys back in 92 I’d love to hear their thoughts.

Awesome Japanese bonus track -

I played Ill Be there at a rock station, I thinkk I Cant Find My Way is a absolutely beautiful song, and I fucking despise ballads.

I’m okay with a ballad or 2 but I much prefer a higher ratio of rockers. Agreed it’s a stunning ballad. In The Hands Of Time ain’t half bad either.

"Love Leads the Way" is an essential track. I understand why the Japanese pressings had bonus tracks, but I don't understand why bands would elect to have some of their best songs be said bonus tracks, and ensure the majority of their fanbase would never hear them. Until years later when the internet became much more established. 

The combination of "31-91" and "In the Hands of Time" is such a perfect album closer, I've sequenced "Love Leads the Way" between "Bad Taste" and "Can't Find My Way." The album flows much better, and, in my opinion, is complete.

"Takin' Me Down" is one of THE songs of the era. I love "Hot Cherie" and "Everthing" also.

Actually, the whole album is a killer and definitely no skips required.

Dec 92

That's pretty awesome mate. Did you have the album at that stage? It would have been great regardless, but it would have been even better if you were already familiar with the tracks.

Saw Hardline with Schon live supporting extreme

Jammy git...saw Extreme on that tour and we got King Of The Hill as support...fucking singer changed his hat more than he sang/we got songs...still that was no bad thing I suppose :)

As for this album,absolute belter,a no skip for me,its got it all Rockers,Ballads,Production,Musicianship...pretty much perfect to my ears,it still gets regular spins.

      Babymetal

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
