Sad to hear this - another key voice from my childhood gone. I was never big into Nevermore but did have some Sanctuary. I will feature something from the recent demo album in the Best of 2017 show.
Never big into either of the bands, so I don't really have much to say other than RIP.
But I am very much looking forward to the Best of '17 show. I just last week got around to (almost) finishing the last podcast. Thoughts of the last 2 hours:
White Sister - Breaking All The Rules... damn, this sounded fine.
White Sister- Restless Heart (unreleased 3rd album demo)... it sure sounded like a demo!
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again... Rarity??? This is regularly a Top 10 of all-time classic rock song.
Widowmaker - Reason To Kill ... very nice. Might investigate more
Wild Dogs - Streets Of Berlin ... this was quite excellent too. Nice screamy vox
Wild Horses - The Riversong
Wildside - Clock Strikes ... pretty decent.
Winger - Rainbow In The Rose... I know TAC rocked out to this one.
Winter Rose - I'll Never Fall In Love Again... love that album. Glam + Young James = gold baby, GOLD!
Waysted - Land That Lost Love... meh
Winter's Bane - Heart of a Killer ... killer tune - I think JJ gave it to me in a roulette.
Whitesnake - Guilty of Love ... great early W/S
Xenon - Lay Me Down
XYZ - High Life (demo)
Y&T - Mean streak - excellent, of course
Zar - Spellbound-Hellbound
Zebra - Tell Me What You Want - excellent, of course.
Zeno- Walking On A Thin Line... good, but I wasn't wow'd
Zinatra - Two Sides of Love... lovin this
The feature album was very nice ... and the influences were indeed VERY noticeable. Just gotta say, Ben is the best. You're ok too Brent, but the youngling rocks it.
