Love me some JSS, I actually really enjoyed the one that came out at the start of the year, mainly cause it was a bit different and some fresh ideas.

Listening to a couple of these Art Nation tracks on youtube, yeah, nice.  Something I would definitely pick up.  Reminds me a lot of HEAT which is a good thing.

Generic. Did Joel write this or is it from the Frontiers stock pile of generic AOR?
It was ok but nothing special. JSS was the only thing keeping me from turning it off.

Yeah same.  I think he wrote most of it himself.

The last good record from Bryan Adams is 1987's Into the Fire and that was some f*ckin' 30 years ago.

haha, yeah, I've never really been a fan.  Some of his hits were great though.  I love the one with Sting and Rod Stewart, underrated forgotten hit that one.

Up to the above mentioned I was a fan of his music and saw him live several times, those were great shows. But then his music became less rocking and even more commercial and cheesy and I lost interest, although he had the occasional good tune since then.

I love Into The Fire..........or I did as a kid anyway (haven't listened in ages).   Waking Up The Neighbours - with Mutt Lange on board- is supposed to be alright too but I stopped taking interest around then.

Waking Up was ok but not great and because of Lange it sounded sometimes more Def Leppard than Def Leppard themselves  ::)

You had to listen to it to come to that conclusion?
And how is it that you could have so much nothing to do where you would even possibly have the time to listen to a new Bryan Adams song? :lol
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Probably.  I can't stand that song - it got so incredibly over played up here when it was released.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Number one in the UK forever. Yuk. Though I don't mind the song as long as I don't hear it more than once a decade or so. I loved Reckless, thought Into the Fire was a poor follow up, the def leppardisms of WUTN was fine by me (though too long). Not rated much since and haven't bothered in a long time.
He was great live back in the day.
It would be a cougar fest now...

These new Find Me samples sound good.  Safe but the first album was great.

Very safe stuff, but it's the kind of safe I like in this type of music, and it sounds pretty strong from the samples. I liked what I heard from the first album, but never got around to grabbing that one. I'll have to check them both out.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Except it's from the 10s.

Heard of them both... heard a couple songs from both... was mostly underwhelmed by both.  Not bad, just not wow'd.

I really liked Khymera's last two albums.  Dennis does have a good voice and agree with Paul that a new PC69 would be good.  Ceremonial was great.

Harem Scarem's homecoming show at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto on 2CD/DVD & Blu Ray
Out in December on Frontiers!
Frontiers Music Srl, is pleased to announce the upcoming live release by the Canadian rock group HAREM SCAREM, entitled LIVE AT THE PHOENIX on December 4th.
Available in 2CD/DVD, Blu-ray and Digital formats, this new release, marks the first proper live album recorded by HAREM SCAREM in front of their “home” audience. Singer Harry Hess explains “Canada is where we started touring all those years ago and to be able to invite our friends, family and fans to this show was cool.”
Recorded live on Saturday July 11th, 2015 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, this happened to be the perfect time and venue for the band to capture live recordings of numerous songs from their latest record "Thirteen" and also to revisit their classic early material. It was an honest and raw performance showcasing the repertoire of a band which is at the top of their game.
“It wasn't easy coming up with this set list but I think we got to all the important stuff plus it's always fun to play the new material that you haven't been playing for 20 years.” Tells Harry “It is definitely the most extensive live recording and video that we have ever done and the quality of both the video and audio are by far the best of anything we have ever done.”
For fans around the world that were not able to see Harem Scarem on their "Thirteen" tour, this special Blu Ray DVD and double audio cd is a must!!
Enjoy the live rendition of the band’s classic song “No Justice” following this link: https://youtu.be/b_wxloUX-jw
LIVE AT THE PHOENIX tracklisting includes:
CD1 - Garden Of Eden; Hard To Love; Saviors Never Cry; Dagger; Distant Memory; The Midnight Hours; Mandy; Killing Me; Slowly Slipping Away; Troubled Times.
CD2 - Sentimental Blvd.; Turn Around; Stranger Than Love; All I Need; Saints And Sinners; So Blind; Human Nature; Voice Of Reason; Change Comes Around; No Justice.
DVD // Blu Ray - Garden Of Eden; Hard To Love; Saviors Never Cry; Dagger; Distant Memory; The Midnight Hours; Mandy; Killing Me; Slowly Slipping Away; Troubled Times; Sentimental Blvd.; Turn Around; Stranger Than Love; All I Need; Saints And Sinners; So Blind; Human Nature; Voice Of Reason; Change Comes Around; No Justice.

I was thinking about going to this show, but there were too many complications going on that weekend.  It's a great venue to see a concert.
