What's so funny about what Kade said? It's a great album.

Yeah, it is.

What about this Kelly Keeling one Brent?

I have had a listen to it now and it's alright................low-mid 70's rating. It sorta sounds like what it is - a Frontiers job with all the usual suspects involved. There are a few standout tracks but the rest just falls into the decent/heard it all before category. I tend to prefer his gritty voice over more bluesy/rocking material than a lot of the stuff on this too.

If you love his voice and are a completist then it's probably worth it for a couple of the best tracks -otherwise I would stick to stuff like Baton Rouge or John Norum's Another Destination which has the killer track Resurrection Time.

wolfking · « **Reply #2208 on:** July 24, 2015, 02:00:14 AM »

Not familiar with him, just didn't mind the songs that were released. I probably won't buy it, just listen online I think. I'm actually getting a bit over these Frontiers projects myself.

Anyone check that Tolkki and hot chick one?

i didn't.

no - but I have noticed that it is getting pretty positive reviews around the traps. Maybe it's all guys watching the song videos with the sound down .

Maybe the album is actually pretty good?

Alright g-man...........I will check it out, but if it causes ear bleeds I am sending you the medical bill.

I have actually heard a couple of tracks and they were very meh!

Well it's pretty obvious what Tolkki was trying to achieve here........this is Within Temptation (tick) with all of the life sucked out of it (fail). The singer Caterina has smokin' legs and a nice ass but her voice is something you might expect to hear on Idol or The Voice - she can hold a tune but there's no personality or power to it. The music is the same - there's nothing totally unlistenable on it but there's also zero that held my attention. It's generic , write it in your sleep stuff.

Pretty much as expected.

Rating : 60%

As we expected Brent. I ain't even gonna listen to it.

New Stryper album's title track - "Fallen"

I dig the song... but some of that auto-tune/modulation is just, awful.

"No More Tours" by Ozzy in the early 90s as well

I have a feeling I don't want to hear the music ,but loving the album title/cover

Cool cover

And Kurt Russell is such a badass, he needs his own tribute album. But like you, I have the feeling that this isn't my cup of tea.

wolfking · « **Reply #2229 on:** August 05, 2015, 05:39:32 AM »

A Kurt Russell tribute album..........................I have no issue with that.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2230 on:** August 05, 2015, 10:25:34 PM »

Well I have a major announcement to make...........

Darren Smith has rejoined Red Dragon Carousel

. Seriously.

Apologies for the lack of action around here but I have been too busy Rouletting and Savataging.

I also forgot to get those ratings collated for Martin era Sabbath , so here they are. And while we have roulettes going on and so forth I will slow the feature bands down to maybe 1-2 per month. Will look to get another up for next week.

MARTIN ERA SABBATH RESULTS:

Albums:

1. Tyr / Headless Cross (TIE)
2. Eternal Idol/Cross Purposes (TIE)
3 Forbidden

Songs:

The most popular songs that got mentioned in all of our lists (me , Kade and jj)

Headless Cross
Devil & Daughter
The Sabbath Stones

Nice name.

That's a real shame. A better vocalist would be necessary for me to be interested in another album (if they could manage a whole recording process before changing lineup again).

jjrock88 · « **Reply #2232 on:** August 06, 2015, 12:30:47 AM »

I read about that RDC and Smith rejoining on blabbermouth.

Its beyond ridiculous.

This can't be a real situation with Jake. It has to be a gimmick he came up with to get attention as no one could go through that many singers in such a short timeframe. Its funny, but still ridiculous.

wolfking · « **Reply #2233 on:** August 06, 2015, 05:09:14 AM »

I couldn't give a shit about this Red Dragon band. Such a shame and waste of Jake's talent.

Q5 have signed for Frontiers apparently. Hoping for a Steel The Light style metal gem rather than a When The Mirror Cracks AOR bore fest. They've been quiet for a long time so not expecting much tbh.

I remember reading about that a while back ..........that they were reforming (maybe not about Frontiers). At that stage at least it didn't include Floyd Rose. As a guitarist that was what brought them to my attention back in the day- otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Might interest you Kade - Tony Macalpine Aussie Tour

Saturday, October 3: John Inverarity Music & Drama Centre - Perth
Monday, October 5: The Gov Hindmarsh - Adelaide
Wednesday, October 7: The Bendigo Hotel - Melbourne
Friday, October 9: Wesley Theatre - Sydney
Saturday, October 10: Crowbar - Brisbane

Yeah saw that bro. A Saturday night so I'll think I'll go. To see both EOI and MS played in full would certainly be a treat.
