The official Accept and UDO thread

This song.

THIS FREAKING SONG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOtTyWIJD1Q

I must have listened to this at least fifty times today, and it's still amazing.

Bastard, I thought you were posting a new Accept song!   

But yeah, I like that one a lot too, one of my fav UDO ballads actually.  Great solo from Igor too.  I liked Rev Raptor quite a bit, it's not classic, but it's solid metal.

Damn, new album pushed back to August.  But a full concert DVD as a bonus, hell fucking yeah!! 

[jjrock88]

That's an awesome setlist.  Sucks about the pushback, I was looking forward to getting it at the same time as Priest.  Oh well, the deluxe package makes up for it.

I knew they had the DVD on the can. Can't wait for this release.

Yes, as usual, it does!

[jjrock88]

Was there any doubt that it wouldn't lol

Awesome tune and great video

[bl5150]

That is a cool tune - as per usual with bands of this type it'll come down to whether there's enough variety on the album for me.

I know what you mean. It'll likely alternate between songs that are awesome and songs that are excellent.

Don't forget the third choice; songs that kick ass!

[Lowdz]

Great track but I'm getting a little bored of the vocals now. They need a better singer.

Right, so damned inconsistent!

I don't know. I mean what did you think of Udo, or was he just so unique?
I don't have any issue here. To me, the hook in Accept is still about Wolf Hoffman's tone.

No, I hated udo's voice and it was the reason I was never an Accept fan. I've enjoyed the last 2 but its getting too samey as the guy has no range at all. I'm not even asking for a melodic rock singer. They had that as well on Eat The Heat but the music was watered down. I'd like a more melodic but still powerful vocal I guess.
You're right about Hoffman though. 

[wolfking]

Pretty stellar tune.

Samples can be found on Itunes Japan.

On Dime in the last couple of weeks, there's been some great classic shows uploaded. Firstly, a show from 1981 from Switzerland which is surprisingly decent quality. Also a 1985 show from Stockholm which is famtastic.

[adace]

So the new album is just fantastic. Every song is catchy and has great riffs and solos. You really can't ask for much more. I might be in the minority but I think I prefer this one to the previous two as great as they are.

Blind Rage is going in my top 10 at the end of the year for sure.

[wolfking]

I'm looking forward to picking this up.

[jjrock88]

Looking forward to Tuesday! All the reviews have been very positive so far

[gazinwales]

I used to love Accept back in the early 1980's, but pretty much lost interest when Udo left.
I haven't really followed either since, but recently was checking out Wacken 2014 on YT and decided to check out Accept.
I was shocked just how bad the current singer is, truly awful I didn't last too long and decided to check out some live UDO.
Seems that Udo has aged very well and still sounds great.

I want to preface this by saying that I have not heard anything at all from the new album...and in fact, have not heard anything from the new lead singer except for a couple of samples from the first album with him "Blood of the Nations"...and I have to ask...   REALLY???   

I mean, if anything, from the small sample I heard from BotN, I was surprised at how much he sounded similar to Udo, and what a fantastic job they had done of finding a replacement.    I can't believe we listened to the same guy...

[jjrock88]

I think Mark has done a fantastic job. He can sound abit like UDO but also  brings his own style. A perfect match for Accept.

[wolfking]

Wow.  I think Mark is fucking awesome.

[adace]

I honestly think Mark is better than Udo.

[gazinwales]

Live/Studio two totally different settings.
I spent most of yesterday searching YT for live Accept/UDO video's.
Mark might sound good in the studio, but what I have seen of him live (pro shot/recorded) he isn't any good and I won't be going to see Accept when they tour here later this year.

[Lowdz]

For me Udo never sounded great. The new guy is fine in the studio and its unlikely I'll get to see them live.

[Mister Gold]

I honestly think Mark is better than Udo.

Agreed.

[TAC]

Mark has been fantastic on the studio albums and while he did NOT have a great showing at Wacken, he's not that bad live.

[Zook]

Not a fan of Accept, but for many years my step dad pronounced the name Assept, so one day maybe 2 years ago I heard Eddie Trunk pronounce it correctly and my whole life was a lie. Who was I to question? He was the supposed fan, and I just figured since it was a band name, they could pronounce it however. I even called pronounced it as Accept, and he corrected me.

ACCEPT it , bro.

What a release!!

Accept, just like Primal Fear, Saxon & Helloween, never disappoint!

Looking forward to watching the DVD tonight

Agreed. It's an excellent metal album.
Watched the dvd earlier. Pretty good but I find dvds hard to watch when they are overdubbed and the vocals appear that way to me. May not be, but these days I find that the great picture and sound quality make live dvds look and sound weird. Too perfect. I was a bit disconnected watching it because of it. Same with the iced Earth live dvd.

I haven't got the DVD yet, but I actually agree with what you are saying. Seems a lot of DVDs lately have some sort of disconnect with the vocals.

Looking forward to getting this.  I don't think it comes out over here until next weekend.

Outstanding DVD!! Too bad it wasn't released on cd too
