Just picked up tickets to see em in the Limelight Belfast on 17th July :) happy days

Nice. 

I've only seen them once, and I'm glad it was with Pat Torpey. Highly underrated drummer.

I thoroughly enjoyed 2017’s “Defying Gravity “, and was hoping for more of the same. “Good Luck Trying” is, unfortunately, not it. Sure hope there’s a lot better tracks to come…

My brain is still fried from the whole cancer debacle so my memory is all over the place these days. I was watching that video and at first I was like "Mr Big must be one of the few bands from back in the day that hasn't changed members over the years". Then thought, "hold on, thats not Pat" ... I must have known he passed away 6 years ago, but as I say, Swiss cheese memory means its like finding out things all over again.

Same with Johnny Sollinger.

I really hope I dont have any other shitty surprises coming to me.

Damn, 1 good song out of the 3 tracks released; not boding well for the album. 😕

“As Good as It Gets”

This one doesn’t suck, it’s just thoroughly “meh”. 
 

I guess I’ll toss my copy in the car and give it a few complete spins to see if anything besides “Up On You”  is worth listening to…

Terrible album, didn't realise it was their last. They definitely had and handful of classic tunes sprinkled throughout their career.

What the new album sounds like to me, for over half of it, is a group of well accomplished musicians jamming with the mics on. A couple of songs sound structured and planned (but still bad), but yeah, to me, the other half of the album just sounds like a few dudes jamming and someone leaked the sessions onto the album for release. 

Said it a million times about this band - never going to argue their worth as musicians, but sadly it rarely translated to a good song, for me, when it came to these guys. Thank goodness for the gems amongst it, though. If nothing else, you could make a truly killer 10-15 Best Of album from these guys... and leave it at that. ;)

Listened to this album the other day.

From memory songs 1 and 3 weren't great for me but the others were good on first listen.

Hard to live up to the last album though.

    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • 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. 
    • 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.
