Dude, why?
Actually, we don't need a second thread.
It's kind of obvious.
Give SX back Russell Allen pls.
Yes :'(
It's kind of obvious.
It is? He's thread shitting over here. I'm not over in the green day topic mocking them.

The entire AMob thread was people crapping on them.
I found all you comments very interesting and it made me want to add my 2 cents. OH, and I'm not responding to any one post.
Talking about AM outselling DT and SX, well, it is very possible! AM is in a genre of music that does sell WAY more albums then bands like DT or SX and they play in much larger venues then bands in the prog genre. That being said you also can't compare the fan base, distribution, record company support and so on, of a band like DT to AM, it is a TOTALLY different type of music with a 25 year history. You can't compare, AM which released the album 4 month ago to DT that has worked their butts off for 25 years. DT did not come out of the gates with distribution in every record store, radio play or playing big concerts w/productions, that took YEARS of hard work to get there. I'm positive that "When Dream & Day Unite" came out, you couldn't find it in any record store and you didn't hear anything played on the radio! Images and Words was the closest that DT ever came to commercial success and that was because of one song only! There has NEVER been a DT album in the USA that sold that many copies since, never. (no matter how hard they tried) Every band wants to sell lots of records, be on the radio and play HUGE concerts. Don't for one second think DT is any different because they aren't. Believe me they are very, very thankful for what they have achieved but would love to have every album go gold or would love to have a platinum selling album!!!! (and they deserve that) but that doesn't happen often in the prog world. However it does happen in the rock world and quite often.
I think the whole point that Mike is making is that AM is rock/metal music and that style appeals to a much larger audience then prog. The chance of AM selling more records, getting airplay or playing larger places is very realistic, I have heard AM, on the radio, more in 4 month then I have of DT in 25 years. That doesn't mean one band is better then the other, it's just different, TOTALLY DIFFERENT. You can't compare a rock band to a prog band, a country artist to a pop artist, a death metal band to a jazz band, but there are some facts that you can't deny and mainstream rock/metal does sell a TONS of records and gets radio play! AM is that type of music and does have that chance. People into this style of music love this album and listen to it constantly! Most of you, not all, but most of you on this site are prog fans and this album is not going to appeal to you the same way it would to a mainstream rock/metal fan. I know some of you say your metal fans but your heart is truly in prog so your not going to love this album you may like it but you probably won't love it. I am truly a metal girl always have been, I'm not into prog at all!! Only prog band I have even listened to would be DT with the exception of a little Yes and a little Rush, very little. Bands like Shindown, Disturbed, Godsmack, nickleback, A7X (I love all those bands) and so on out sell prog bands and thats the world that AM is in, it's a totally different world and scene from DT and SX. The rock/ metal world is my world, I am surrounded by those people, I go to those concerts and the people into that kind of music LOVE this band and album and some of them don't even listen to or know who DT or SX is.
Again, I think the point here is that AM appeals to a different audience then prog does and that genre of music does sell more records then the prog genre so there is a possibility that AM could out sell a band like DT or SX for sure!
I surely hope AM does well I think its a great band and truly love the guys in the band. They are really great people and they deserve to have success. I hope ALL of mikes bands do well, all of them, weather i'm into that style or not. I think the talent and songwriting for all his band is a step above most stuff out there today.

In before kotowboy:
I guess Marlene no longer feels the adrenaline.
And get off my back - i've never done anything to you apart from have a pop at AMob in a thread which was EXCLUSIVELY people having a pop at AMob.
I don't even know what your problem is anymore...
Nice edit. . .
That song Feel The Adrenaline - i can imagine that's what " Fuel " must have sounded like to proper Metal heads in 1997 who just wanted And Justice For All over and over and over.
Fuel by Metallica sounds like Master Of Puppets in comparison to Feel The Adrenaline.
And I thought " Mutha Fuckin Psycho Sane" was laughable
No, it definitely didn't get better. The only thing of note was that several ripoffs were identified, like Sevendust and others.
Actually, we don't need a second thread.
I know I'm on 50 ppp, but it's only 57 pages for me. We've gone more than that for others, haven't we?
Why do many feel the need to openly bash AMob when in most other threads people stay away from threads about bands they don't like or listen to?
I don't really listen to AMob and therefor I usually avoid this thread but it seems like this thread only exists for one purpose.
Fuck Orlando annoys me. I can accept most of his studio solos, but this is just shit;

:dunno:
It looked like he was having fun, but at the same time had that "look at how awesome I am" thing going on.
Considering how miserable the reaction was over here, that's downright miraculous. The Mob has a future!I bought it last weekend for $10 at best buy just to support Russell.
Number 7 in Hard Rock is surprising, but I have to wonder what that translates to in terms of numbers. It's behind Hail to the King for example, which has been on the charts for 26 weeks. Meaning, even if it's Avenged Sevenfold, what kind of sales numbers can the album have after 26 weeks?

Listened to it today while coding and I got through it ok. We'll see how that goes when I pay attention.
But... every bit of support you give him in AMob is a signal that he should stick with that, and not do one of the billion better things he could be doing.
So what I get from Feel the Adrenaline is that these guys got possessed by the Hellyeah demon?
EDIT: Listening to Men of Honor. It's stunning to realize that their best song so far is still a Duran Duran cover.

I don't know how accurate it is, but this link stated that it sold 3,600 copies. A7X did 4,600 for the week.

Shit, if mainstream pop dwarfs DT's numbers how is it surprising that any band equals DT's numbers?

some band called "Hellyeah"
That's rough, playing second support band. You're essentially playing to an empty venue most of the time.
Well if SX put out a record more frequently than say every 5-7 years we wouldn't be having this discussion to begin with.

that's Vinnie Paul's band

We are sad to announce that the band has been in a serious accident yesterday traveling to Canada on the current A7X/Hellyeah Tour. The band & crew are pretty beat up but by the grace of God there's no serious injuries & everyone is ok. Unfortunately the trailer flipped & equipment has been destroyed but they are figuring out the next move in hopes to continue on. Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts & prayers!!!
You have no idea how hard I'm trying not to say it.I know man... I know :lol
No one was seriously injured, so I'll say it:I just thought that and immediately scolded myself for being such an awful person ;D this forum is a corrupting influence.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, EVERYONE SURVIVED!!!!
The drummer quits.
Nobody goes to the shows.
The album is dreadful.
All their gear gets destroyed.
BUT STILL THEY COOOOOMEEE !!!
Getting them on tour with A7X was probably their best chance in getting over with any type of audience.that is so mean and so true simultaneously
Saw you last night in Burlington, VT. I was one of the few that made the trip. Such a great show, glad to see you in such an intimate setting!!
weren't ? **Or were not, depending on your English preference.
weren't ? **
Common word in the English language I thought.What about Psychosane? Is that a word too? :D
weren't ? **
Were not. It's a perfectly legit word.
So basically Mike leaving AMob is because they weren't going to make enough money for him.

That's pretty much what most of us assumed all along. At least he came out now and actually said it.
I would not be surprised at all if Russ becomes one of the more regular singers for TSO, now that he got his foot in that door last year. That was probably a big payday for him, and it exposed him to literally millions of people who have probably never heard of him before. I know if I were him, I would be wanting to make TSO as much of a full-time gig as possible, and not just because I'm a huge Savatage fan....
Tony Orlando can sustain himself off of shredded cheese alone.

Wtf, why? I think you need to be realistic about professional musicians. They can't just live off musical notes, you know.
And it's not that he's whoring himself out to some godawful act just to bring in the money. I fully believe that he is/was musically behind the bands he's been in.
All MP is doing is not betting on a horse that can barely walk at this point.
To me this is what sucks about MP leaving DT. As great as DT continues to be, I loved MP, but now he's disappeared from my music fandom.

Yeah, agree. I only enjoyed Flying Colors, but not specifically because of Portnoy. Everything else he's done hasn't really interested me.
t is interesting to see his wardrobe choices for the different projects.....Adrenaline Mob - a scent of vomit and air fresheners
I just never really dug what the band was intended to be.
A-Mob tonight on Long Island! They are also playing an acoustic set beforehand at a tiny sports collectible shop in West Islip.
I'm ready to go psychosane, baby! ;D
This band seems tight;

That's a lousy way to back out of a band though, even if that band is Adrenaline Mob.
You beat me to it..."going downhill" doesn´t even begin to describe them. Three albums in and they have more lineup changes than Deep Purple and Yes added up.
Is it just me that finds it a bit lame/creepy when people over 30 still use " lol " ?Yeah, probably.

Moyer probably saw it as a convenient way to bridge time.

I think "Dearly Departed" refers to their fan base.
Is there a person on this planet who bought into the "scheduling conflict" story? MP jumped ship when the first album was received poorly, and for good reason.
Do all the dead people on the album cover represent all the Ex Members ?

Even those 300, you can bet half of those just showed up because they could meet their previous DT idol for cheap.

I saw them live and the turnaround was about 300 people I think. Never bought MP's statement about leaving due to scheduling conflicts. Met MP after the show and he looked tired, pissed, and could see the disappointment in his face...But I gotta give credit where credit is due: he was truly a professional with the fans, talked to everybody, took pictures with everybody, signed stuff....

Was this the San Antonio show? There was no way there were 300 there.
It bugs me that since the last Symphony X album we've heard Russell on two AM albums, a covers album (and another soon to be released), and a cameo on a shitty Iced Earth album. He's one of the best metal singers out there right now and he sings on some of the worst stuff imaginable. Such a waste.
It will most likely be Dio-era Sabbath, since he´s one of Russel´s main influences. But what´s the point of releasing two cover albums on such a short period of time?
lmao this is still going on

He's so terrible. He's the new CC Deville. The sad thing is that people that don't play guitar or aren't musicians think he's awesome cuz he's all about those tricks, 'bout those tricks, no substance.
Coverta sucked, but this sucks ten times more.
Fuck, I think I'm through with trying to defend this band.
I hate Mike Orlando.
In honor of your 10191st post, Darklol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po0WPUBEk24
That's an insult to CC Deville! He wasn't a flashy player, but he had plenty of memorable melodic solos.
I think Adrenaline Mob jumped the shark. I mean, I think they jumped the shark shortly after the band formed but is it possible to jump the shark again? Because this is...this is...I think Adrenaline Mob was fine when it started. It just came off as a fun side project for some guys who wanted to play some more straight forward Metal. Maybe not everybody's cup of tea but I don't think there was anything wrong with the premise. Now it just comes off as really gimmicky.
*sigh*
I'm not going to recommend this to anyone.
Wow, RIP. Just saw him perform last year with A-Mob. I wonder what was the cause of death.
He died of an "bizarre gardening incident" according to an AP story.
He died on the tour bus?? Wow!

Wow. Those guys really can't catch a break.No kidding. :\
Yeah, the more you think the more it gets to you.
This band must be one of the most doomed bands in existence, seriously. In a matter of 4 years, 4 people have left the band, another has died, and they even had their whole equipment stolen.That's fucked up.

If the unthinkable happened and mangini were to have an accident -
- I wonder if DT would invite Portnoy back.
The carrying on for AJ Pero will be done by Twisted Sister because he was their long time drummer. Not sure what is status actually was in AM, but it's irrelevant to his legacy.
And Shep, not sure what you're into but if you like good classic hard rock, You Can't Stop Rock n Roll and Stay Hungry are both classics.

Cover art is still laughable though.

Which one of the guys was it?
Some classy lyrics like Come On Get Up also wouldn't go astray.
To be honest though, I like what the Mike and Russel are doing with this band. It's childish and no nonsense hard rock with some cool songs. I've enjoyed both albums so I'm looking forward to this one.
I'm a metal guy at heart, and I love Mike P., so I gave it a shot; I thought it was cartoony at the start, and other than the Sabbath cover, I haven't listened to any of it since the first release. Once Mike P. left (as much as I like AJ) they fell off the radar.
Doesn't help that I just don't see the what others do in Russell Allen. In my humble opinion, he is WAY overrated.

But bands do indeed include songs that aren't quite up to par just to fill space and round out an album, and the terms has always been used to describe songs that fit that category (or at least sound like they do).

When I first heard SX, I didn't connect with him either. I never quite understood what everyone was hyping on about. It wasn't until the first Allen/Lande album that he really showed me what a vocalist he is. Since then I've warmed to him greatly and love everything he does.
Hey, context!
"Another think coming" makes sense as long as it's paired with the first part of the phrase, but it still sounds dumb and grammatically incorrect.
I say we just abolish the phrase.
MOTHER FUCKIN' PSYCHOSANE
Instead of worrying about the grammer aspect, lets just crank Screaming for Vengeance to 11.
The only MP project I never liked. I even went to their first show in NYC in 2011. Other than the covers they did at the end of the show, it was pretty forgettable.
Turned it off a minute in.
Russell is one of my favorite singers but this isn't my Russell. No interest whatsoever
Felt odd watching a band that is supposed to all about energy playing on a stage in front of no one.
Stone Sour did the same thing recently, but they filled the audience with inflatable wavy things. Weird.
So now they're Saliva.
So now they're Saliva.
Might as well be Static X
This is exactly the same as Undaunted from their first album. Check it out, it's laughable.Yeah, I also noticed that some of the riffs were eerily similar to those in that song. :mehlin
That song sucks.
I kinda enjoyed the first album. I was expecting the worst, but without MP, I have ZERO interest in this. I do not connect with Russell Allen at all.
The only thing i feel while listening to this is an urge to get Russell Allen out of there as fast as i can. How can he be singing crap like this? :(

The only thing i feel while listening to this is an urge to get Russell Allen out of there as fast as i can. How can he be singing crap like this? :(
Honestly, Russell Allen is as much of the problem as anything else.
So now they're Saliva.
Might as well be Static X
Hm? That sounded nothing like Static X. Static X isn't very good, but they're quite distinct.

That new song is pure garbage in my opinion, it sounds like a cover of Undaunted without the slight sense of melody that song at least had. I don't know, their debut album had lyrics that screamed midlife crisis, now they have an actual song sounding like that and clip to compliment it. Still interested in their album though, I expect there to be some songs I can dig.
Also, Stone Sour's new song is great in my opinion, catchy chorus and Corey's performance is energetic. Watching these clips next to each other makes the AM song fall even flatter.
I'm still fascinated that a band that practically no one likes, especially not now, generates more discussion than probably dozens of bands we all likely enjoy a lot more. :lolA trainwreck is always going to be more interesting to talk about. :lol
That song sucks.

I see Stadler write in other threads, and while I know it's English, I have no idea what he is saying. So I totally appreciate these TAC'd down posts! :lol

That is the worst thing I've read in a long time.
I'm not sure there are issues. Just inactivity.

I wonder if Romeo is on board with his comments. Would like to hear something from him really.
If Romeo does a solo album, I hope it's a Magnus Karlsson Freefall type of album!

For Orlando every bar without a pinched harmonic is a wasted bar.

Do you think one or more of them owes money to the ACTUAL Mob, and this is all a way of staying on the good side?:lol :lol :lol

I just think that they represent all of what people dislike in music, especially here on DTF.
Start with the excitement and anticipation of an MP/Allen project. Then the disappointment that it's nothing like anyone had hoped. It could not be more generic and uninspired which totally goes against what is heralded in these parts. They have become the ultimate whipping post.
I just can't make it through a full song from this band
OMG that is a really bad accident. Hoping the others pull through. Man, hoping Allen is one that declined treatment.
The people in the crash and their injuries, as per the Florida Highway Patrol:I'm not sure the exact diffrence between serious and critical injury but hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds.
* Robert Edwin Haines, 59, of Largo, driver of the 2014 semi, who was not injured;
* Jason McCole, 41, of Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania, driver of the RV, who was seriously injured;
* Zablidowsky, 38, who was a passenger in the RV. [Note: The Florida Highway Patrol had not released David's identity to the media as of Friday evening, but Zablidowsky's brother Paulie confirmed his passing in a Facebook post.]
* A second passenger in the RV, ADRENALINE MOB singer Russell Allen, 38, of New Jersey, who was seriously injured;
* A third passenger, ADRENALINE MOB tour manager Janet Revis, 48, of Pitts Pond, Pennsylvania, who was critically injured,
* A fourth passenger, Dale Campiglia, 51, of Levittown, New York, who was seriously injured;
* A fifth passenger, Robert Dressler, 45, of Plaines, Pennsylvania, who was seriously injured;
* The driver of driver of a 2003 GMC Sierra, ADRENALINE MOB drummer Jordan Cannata, 27, of West Babylon, New York, who was seriously injured; and
* The lone passenger in the GMC, ADRENALINE MOB's 46-year-old guitarist Mike Orlando of Staten Island, New York, who seriously injured.

I don't know either, I would assume that critical is worse than serious. The feeling I get is that serious mean "nothing you can shrug off as a bruise that will pass", and critical means that "We have to do something about it right now".
Yea that sounds about right.I'm not sure the exact diffrence between serious and critical injury but hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds.
I don't know either, I would assume that critical is worse than serious. The feeling I get is that serious mean "nothing you can shrug off as a bruise that will pass", and critical means that "We have to do something about it right now".
My best guess is that the two terms indicate likelihood of survival. "Serious" = Quite bad but not life threatening, "Critical" = unsure about outcome.
Serious is unsure about the outcome. Critical is "this doesn't look good." While it's not standardized, this is what the American Hospital Association recommends:I'm not sure the exact diffrence between serious and critical injury but hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds.

I'm far removed from any mystical thought, but if there's ever been a band under a bad omen, Adrenaline Mob is it. The departures, the equipment theft, two deaths....I had a similar reaction when I heard about this. Like the band is cursed or something.

I know things can be misleading, and once people are out, efforts dwindle, but I can't get past that picture of the RV after the fact. Just scorched earth. As sad as it is about David Z (and believe, it's heartbreaking), I'm grateful the numbers weren't higher.

The only way I can make sense of it is that except the bass player, the other guys were standing on the grass when it happened. They were changing tires apparently, so it would make sense to be outside.

R.I.P.
And yeah, this has been a absolutely horrible tragedy and I think nobody knows what they are going to do at this point, not even those in the band themselves. This must have been an extremely traumatizing event. I hope they can get some funds trough legal means so they don't have to worry about their income for the coming time, they deserve that.

Sounds like two of the members went (mother fuckin') psychosane.
He continued: "Russell Allen, to me, is if not the best, one of the greatest voices of our generation. Jeff Scott Soto, Jorn [Lande], Russell Allen — there's a few guys. Anything they sing makes me weepy. And, to me, Russell is at his best when he's singing late-'70s KANSAS style — just that beautiful, bluesy, got grit in his voice. He can tell a story, and I believe every word he sings. He's magic. His voice is beautiful, and yet it has quality, it has a hauntingness to it. It's powerful. He can sing [Ronnie James] Dio — he does all these things. And in ADRENALINE MOB, he's doing stuff that could have easily been on a BLACK LABEL SOCIETY record or a DISTURBED album or something — it's kind of a more grunty, barky thing. I was, like, 'Why? Dude, you realize you have one of the most amazing voices of all time, a style that is so unique. That's how you should sing.' But how do you tell Russell Allen in his band — I'm the last guy in. They already are an established group of guys — four dudes — and they're looking for a rhythm guitar player. How do you tell them and how do you say to Portnoy, who's arguably one of the most talented drummers of all time, 'Don't play like Tommy Lee. Play like you.'

Yep. Rich Ward was bang on with the reasons why that band wasn't going to go far despite having all of these awesome players. Also, for the record, confirmed by MP, MP was not one of the guys in that fistfight.

On another note, in that article, Rich Ward also thought that he likes where MP is heading towards when it comes to SOA.

That's what basically everyone has been saying all along. I especially agree on Russell.
I hope Dave_Manchester doesn't mind, because I just have to share this beautiful comment he made about Adrenaline Mob's 'next' album if they were to ever make one
"It is a cast-iron certainty that AMob will write a song about the crash on their next album, and I think we can say with confidence what kind of thing it will be. It'll be a toe-curlingly awful power ballad about savouring each day....because ain't no man can say...when death gonna come your way...'cause we all got a debt to pay...so come what may...let me hear you say...that I'm savouring each day...yay yay yay...(cue fly-in-a-tin-can guitar solo). And knowing this band's luck I wouldn't be surprised if a bolt of lightning blows Russell Allen's balls off as they play the outro, and that'll provide inspiration for the album after that ("I stopped acting like a BITCH and grew some baaaaaaalls...but then God blew them off...I took one in the GROOOOOIN", sung in a castrato voice). "
Unfortunately Russell has said he's more comfortable with the A Mob style than Symphony X. In SX he's playing a character. To me it's the other way around.

That is some awesome gossip to read into because it basically confirms what a lot of us ('us' being a general term for MP/DT fans who are aware of Mike's activities) thought about the project. Not gonna lie I liked one or two songs but Rich is spot on with his commentary
