I've got 29 of them on vinyl. Not seen the light of day in 20 years and more.

I had 40 of those pictured, mostly all on cassette. The only one I had on vinyl was Kiss' Killers.

I gave away two big boxes of my cassettes a few years ago.

32 of them on cassette to go with the 29 on vinyl. A few double up (triple up if you count the cds too

)

I had 30 of those, mostly on cassette, a few on vinyl. Between me and my best friend at the time, we had like 95% of them.

If you ever want to get rid of them, let me know.

That Noiseworks album had some amazing songs.

Listening to the new Magnum ATM and I'm surprised at how good it is.

Good to hear as the sample sounded underwhelming. Check you PM's man. It's too late though, I already ordered from Amazon UK.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1827 on:** March 16, 2014, 05:36:30 AM »

Geez. I had 41 of those between albums and cassettes.

Yeah that sample is the most odd ball song on the album, lets just say it would have made a great 'bonus' track

PM answered.

Without going through old posts, who recommended/pimped out Dynazty? Finally got around to finding some music of theirs (on ReverbNation). Nice stuff. Feeling a purchase coming on.

Must ...

Resist ...

Paul has talked about them at times and I PM'd links to you months ago . I assume you got the Tad Morose stuff - let me know what you think of that before 2015

wolfking · « **Reply #1831 on:** March 17, 2014, 05:33:25 AM »

Winger samples;

This is not what I expected. I honestly don't know what to think of these. Not digging some of these too much really.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1832 on:** March 17, 2014, 05:46:36 AM »

They sound ok, but nothing standout. Still sounds a lot more promising than the last couple of albums though. I'll check it out once it's released.

The new Stan Bush album is officially out now, although I was naughty and have been listening to it for the past week or so. I don't like any of the ballads, but the rest of the album really hits the spot as usual. Don't expect anyone else here would like it though.

wolfking · « **Reply #1833 on:** March 17, 2014, 05:47:53 AM »

I doubt I'll buy the Stan Bush but I will have a listen.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1834 on:** March 17, 2014, 05:48:58 AM »

If you didn't like the last couple, don't bother. I don't think you'll like it, because you don't have the touch. You don't have the power.

Well then, it was likely the links that you PM'd me that I finally got around to in my "Watch Later" YT list. Good stuff.

Still haven't hit the Tad Morose links. Prepping for DT concert this week is taking up most of my listening.

Three Lions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xocEX08k584

This is pretty decent. Vinny rips.

gazinwales · « **Reply #1837 on:** March 19, 2014, 12:43:44 PM »

Yeah decent song, although I don't think I could stomach a whole album with those kind of 'chic' lyrics.
But as you said Vinny rips, reminding me a lot of old style Gary Moore.

Agreed.

I love that guy's voice.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #1839 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:59:14 PM »

That Three Lions song is pretty good, nice vocals.

wolfking · « **Reply #1840 on:** March 19, 2014, 07:21:26 PM »

Yeah, I'm not sure where that vocalist is from.

TAC · « **Reply #1841 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:24:50 AM »

Given how old he looks, you'd think he'd done something before now. The comments in say the Dare guys are "introducing" him..

bl5150 · « **Reply #1842 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:26:33 AM »

As far as I know he was just a pub/club band guy before Vinny got him involved in this.

TAC · « **Reply #1843 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:32:04 AM »

I've also never bothered to check out Dare.

I'd give The Three Lions another shot, but if that is the best song on the album, its not going to be very good. Those lyrics were cringeworthy.

Blood From Stone is good too but things get a bit more chilled after that. Sort of a Celtic snoozefest... Good if you're in the mood for that but the "rock" disappeared.

wolfking · « **Reply #1846 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:54:42 AM »

I thought Out of the Silence was laid back enough let alone them softening things down even more.

bl5150 · « **Reply #1847 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:57:48 AM »

Calm Before The Storm (especially the recent re-record) isn't that much softer than Out of the Silence. I didn't bother with them after that album but it's a good one.

Blood From Stone is the real odd one out , the way that it rocks.........I like it but I think the songwriting is a lot stronger on Out of the Silence. As Paul said , "if you're in the mood" .......it's a ripper.

wolfking · « **Reply #1848 on:** March 20, 2014, 03:41:59 PM »

Might check that one out.

At the risk of being obvious - Journey, Toto, Foreigner, Survivor

New Brother Firetribe song for those interested

https://www.soundi.fi/uutiset/perjantaibiisi-brother-firetribe-better-or-worse

I've never got into them much as it's all so samey, over produced and cheesy but for what it is it's a decent song.

Neal and Jonathan are working on new Jimmy Barnes music with Jackie Barnes! Kevin Shirley producing.

Interesting. Seems that Neal Schon and other members of Journey are doing a lot of side projects lately. Can't wait to hear them all.

I like 'em. Prefer the singer's other band, Leverage, but BF are pretty good for cheesy AOR. At least the guitars are there with the keys.
New song sounds fine. Not alot different from their previous stuff but decent.

Jimmy Barnes has also been working with Joe Bonamassa again.
