Kiss On My List-Daryl Hall & John Oates

Fear of the Dark-Iron Maiden

New song 'Symphony Of Demise'.    

I used to give them the benefit of the doubt and put most of my blame on Seb for what has transpired with those guys.....but after their handling of Erik, I'd now agree with you. Those guys not being willing to bend a bit for a guy that just wanted a little more balance to take care of his health and family speaks volumes to me.  Clearly, those guys didn't want to have consideration for Erik's situation so they told him it would just be best to take a walk rather than figure it out together. Agree Seb isn't an angel either but it's pretty clear now that Snake and Rachel are much bigger blockheads than I might've thought.  I mean, they say all the right things and come off as being nice guys in interviews but it's clear there isn't much give and take with them behind the scenes either.   It's just a shame.  This band was dead for basically 20 years until Erik gave them new life.  And they were happy to just toss it away without a fight.  I guess at the end of the day they had a nice victory lap/farewell tour with Erik.  Maybe that's all they wanted was one last hurrah before calling it a day.        

Snake and Rachel are in my mind, bigger assholes than Seb (not sure about Scotti as he always seems to float along in the background). Their treatment of every singer has been shitty and yet they talk about Seb as if he is the only one who is a shitty person. Said it before, and will say it again, it speaks volumes to me that Rob will not work with them but will work with Seb as to how bad those guys are. Seb sure aint no angel, but I think the picture they paint of him is far from truthful.

Pretty cool tune.   They could've easily put a Skid Row spin on that with guitars, backing vocals, etc. Skid Row really blew it by letting Erik get away.  I wasn't all that irritated at first when Erik left as I thought he sort of willingly just stepped away to take care of himself.  However, having found out recently that Erik really wanted to stay in the band and had proposed to the band that he just needed a more flexible tour schedule for his family & health needs and they basically just said "no thanks" really pisses me off. They chose to let him walk rather than be flexible to accommodate his needs. Guess it's no wonder now why they can't keep a singer.  It's clearly Snake and Rachels way or the highway.  And I find it hysterical now that they've done nothing outside of those few shows with Lzzy since Erik left.    

D.A.D - Speed Of Darkness

Should go live to non members in a few hours

Members only  

That's a pretty hectic one. Wouldn't say I love either of the first two BF albums ('Bite Down Hard' is worlds away their best album), but compared to the BES album, I suddenly like them a whole lot more. The BES was an instant sell for me, the two BF ones definitely keepers, imo, of course.  Agree whole-heartedly. Though to be fair, what even would their second best song be? I don't dislike the band at all... but their discography isn't exactly overflowing with great tunes. Except this one.
