Chris Caffery new album coming up - had to post the awesome cover art

bl5150 · « **Reply #2070 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:29:33 AM »

Looks like Castronovo is farked $:-\$ - reports coming through that rape charges have been added to the domestic violence.

Damn, that's inexcusable. It's a shame, because he's such a good drummer and vocalist.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2072 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:34:57 AM »

Yeah.................even back in the day when I knew him more as a metal drummer on the early Shrapnel stuff etc..... he was well known for having a lot of substance issues and I imagine he has fallen off the wagon again . As you say - if true , it's inexcusable and he deserves what he gets.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2073 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:37:09 AM »

Regardless of the outcome, it's probably unlikely he'll be back in Journey now. They'll probably want to distance themselves from it, just as AC/DC did with Phil Rudd.

Lowdz · « **Reply #2074 on:** June 30, 2015, 01:48:28 PM »

That Chris caffrey cover is about as bad as I've seen. Diy albums are one thing but it's not wise to do the cover too.
The music needs to be a masterpiece to combat that.

It just as easily could say Chris Holmes across the top.

Very cheap looking album cover

wolfking · « **Reply #2077 on:** June 30, 2015, 04:28:20 PM »

That cover is laughable indeed but Caffery's solo material is decent. The first two were excellent while Pins and Needles wasn't as good but a solid metal album. The last one House of Insanity however was poor. I hope this is better than that one.

That's shit news about Castronovo. WTF is wrong with him?

Snippet here of new Metal Church song - Howe sounds great but the riff/song ain't doing much for me

https://soundcloud.com/rat-pak-records/metal-church-teaser-mike-howe

And in Queensryche news , Wilton was quoted yesterday as saying that the new album will be an early October release.

Would love to see that Saxon/Armored Saint tour.

I don't think either band has ever done much in the way of touring in Canada

New Stryper album samples

https://youtu.be/GWeqXVM4JuQ

I'm really liking that first track but am not sure that this album is going to quite live up to NMHTP based on these samples.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #2087 on:** July 04, 2015, 11:05:04 PM »

Sounds great

wolfking · « **Reply #2088 on:** July 05, 2015, 04:21:02 AM »

Short samples, but sounds solid enough. I don't like judging too much based on short samples. I hope the production is better than what we are hearing here though.

What I wouldn't give to have AJFA with bass. I love that album, but it's unlistenable for me now. Hearing it with real bass would seriously be like hearing the album for the first time again.

I expected to love it once I got into MoP recently. Unfortunately it sounds unfinished. Muppets.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2093 on:** July 06, 2015, 02:19:51 AM »

Two or three tracks I like on AJFA - not even in the same league as MoP (or even TBA) for my taste , even if it was mixed properly. Pastor of Muppets eh Paul.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2094 on:** July 06, 2015, 02:28:52 AM »

Bass problems aside, I'd easily put AJFA at least on par with MoP, and I love both albums. I'd put TBA above both of them though.
I just really hope a faithful remix of AJFA is on the cards at some point, because I need to hear that album properly, and not some amateur Youtube remix attempt at adding bass.

wolfking · « **Reply #2095 on:** July 06, 2015, 05:26:13 AM »

I'd probably take AJFA over MOP, but it's damn close.

Bolsters · « **Reply #2096 on:** July 06, 2015, 05:28:08 AM »

I'm not much of a fan of either but MoP has a couple of songs that are pretty good so I prefer that, I guess.

I finally found time to scour my collection for live albums that made an impact on me and there sure ain't many....like I said before , live albums really never grabbed me much but I will check out those from all your lists that I am not familiar with. I was surprised to see KISS Alive 3 get a few mentions but now that I have scanned my memory I think that I also played that more than any other KISS live album. I think I was really big into Revenge around that time and had a renewed love for the band and wore that out around the time of the tour (which I attended).

The top two or three were very important albums for me - the next couple I really enjoyed and the rest got occasional play. I struggled to get to ten to be honest.

1. Ozzy Osbourne: Randy Rhoads Tribute
2. Dokken : Beast From The East
3. WASP: Live...........In The Raw
4. KISS : Alive III
5 Judas Priest : Priest..........Live
6. Tesla: Five Man Acoustical Jam
7 Queensryche: Operation : Livecrime
8. John Norum : Live In Stockholm
9 Dokken: One Live Night
10 Glenn Hughes: Burning Japan Live

If I allowed myself to drift into prog territory then Live At The marquee would get a mention.

I'll tally these up later to see if there was a clear champ.

In the meantime we seem to have drifted into Metallica territory so why not make this week their week. It's been done to death in their thread already I imagine but they deserve their spot here ,so they get it anyway

Usual drill - rank the discog (or Top 5) and Top 10 songs.

Yikes ....................
