That Looking For Love song was recorded by Khymera

 

And the DB version is way way better, good though Khymera was

A bit off-topic, but damn I loved me some "Special Forces" and "Tour De Force: when I was in junior high school.

 

This was right around the time we first got cable television in my neck of the woods, and MTV was brand new. I cannot begin to tell you how many hours my friends and I sat in front of the television watching Martha Quinn and the crew from 1982 - 1986 when all they did was play videos and have awesome interviews. You had to be there to fully appreciate the enormity of it all.

 

Majorly good albums, "Wild Eyed Southren Boys" and "Strength In Numbers" are exceptional too, although all their discography is as consistent as hell

This is AWESOME!!! Ride The Storm is one of THE unreleased albums every AOR fan has been waiting on getting a proper release.

 

Sorry to hijack the thread but this is another unreleased AOR album that is at the top of my list for a proper release, any chance Andrew ?

Seems a lot of people have heard this one, but I've not yet, and I'm really looking forward to it.

A few weeks back I stated I didn't think another album in 2017 would surpass the latest Harem Scarem CD.

 

Well, I was wrong, sort of... this Don Barnes set is AWESOME! Although it's not really a 2017 release, is it? I've been telling y'all forever... You just can't compete with the 80's!

 

Nice job, Andrew!!!

so have you all heard the .38 Special version of I Fall Back? I like it more that what is on this album but then again I'm a huge 38 fan and it was the first version I ever heard. It was the B-side to the single The Squeeze, the first things they did when Don came back to the band.

I've really tried with this one but outside of the title track, 'Lookin For Love' (which I knew from Khymera) and the best track 'After The Way' (killer Giant styled song) the rest does little for me :(

 

Its all sounds very well played, but the songs don't click with me.

Still haven't given this a full listen after buying it 3 weeks ago...... first reaction was ''wow'' cause these are old songs that are being released with proper production now BUT....... despite those songs being old it still sounds very much like a 2017 release which is unfortunate. We disussed this topic briefly but I think in this day and age it is virtually impossible for a record to have that ''sound'' so I guess it's okay

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
