What does W.E.T. actually stand for?

Work of Art - Robert Sall
Eclipse - Erik Martnesson
Talisman - Jeff Scott Soto

No, I'm not kidding.

I totally missed this entire movement of bands.

Looks like I have another 3 listening parties for you. 

Seriously, knowing you, you don't need to bother.  Talisman had some top stuff though.

[TAC]

Yeah, Brent sent me some links. I think I still have them.

1st WET album is decent enough, but still powder puff melodic rock. I’m totally with you Kade, re Eclipse. Those two albums are the cats meow (pun totally intended). I don’t know their first two albums (are they any good), but the three since Are You Ready To Rock are mediocre at best from what I remember.

Didn't give the first two much attention.  From memory they were pretty damn ordinary.

I will say Armageddonize was pretty Damn good actually but the last two were such a disappointment.  Maybe I'll try them again.

I’d say you only really missed Talisman, and their albums were hit and miss for me. Some great stuff along with a lot of meh. When they were hot they were hot though.

Eclipse had a couple of good albums.

WET’s first album was decent.

I think Talisman were very inconsistent overall.  You had to sort through most their albums for the gems as there were a lot of duds in there.  But the gems were excellent.  The debut was probably their best in terms of consistency I think but I haven't listened to them for a while. 

For the best representation of the band, the 5 Men Live release is where it's at.

Discovered this tune/band this morning (on Spotify, so I haven't watched the video - prolly cheesy af).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTfBPLsfT3g

Full album is out 12/4 ... might check it out.  Finally some fresh Melodic Rock.

[jingle.boy]

Another new one I stumbled on.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=791QBx_WHt4

How is this on Frontiers?  Pretty solid Prog-metal.  Not much of a fan of the keyboard sound, and the video (while high quality) is cheesy af.  I've never heard of this outfit... might have to check out their first two albums.

Frontiers back in the day use to have a little bit of this style from memory.  Not much but a little was there.

The Dokken shirt was at least pretty cool

  Easily the best part of it.

That dude was a wanker!


Controversial opinion.

If I didn't burn my eyes on the video, my ears would tell me that the Magic Dance was actually better than the Simulacrum.

Like I said, I did NOT watch the video. The song itself was pleasing to my ears, and didn’t sound like most of Frontiers’ run-of-the-mill rehashed crap.

This is a little song by a couple of guys calling themselves Rocket Up (band members Eddie Leppard and Axl Van Jovi) ...........sorta like Steel Panther meets Harem Scarem without the language.    The video has Wyld Stallyns as the band name in tribute to "Bill and Ted's"

If this is indicative of what they're working on as a bit of an 80's tribute/pisstake then I'm on board

[jjrock88]

Sounds pretty good

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, that was nice!  But gosh dangit... NOT ON SPOTIFY!!

This is the sort of bland shite that got Frontiers the reputation it has. Pleasant but no substance and no personality.

The Rocket Up was better. Just.

I feel so alone, I really love WoA.

So do I mate.  Probably my fav project of the bunch.  Tim would just hate them, that's why I said he didn't miss much with them.

New Joel Hoekstra’s 13 - https://youtu.be/4twyJ-VON5k

Not bad. Great lineup in the band; album coming in Feb.

Y’all gonna hate on this too?

[TAC]

Yup.




Just kidding. I don't even know who that is. What's this great lineup?

We'll see.  I'll keep you in suspense until I check it out tonight. 

[TAC]

Wow, that is a nice lineup. Nice to see a Vinnie Appice sighting.


That song blows chunks though. I'd rather hear the wanker from the other post.

Don't make me laugh like that in the office around people.

Hang on. Is Tim saying that Russell Allen blows chunks??? I think it’s time for an intervention

[wolfking]

The first album I picked up but can't tell you a thing about it.  Had some good guests too but the songs didn't have much substance or lasting power.  Joel is a great guitarist but haven't seen much evidence in the songwriting department.

I won't take Tim's opinion as gospel until I listen for myself.

No. I liked it. At least the vocals have some character.

I pretty much summed it up before listening it seems.

To go one step further, a generic piece of shit song like this is taking the piss with the people involved.  Forgettable and so underwhelming.

[jingle.boy]

I really liked the first album.  This opening single was fairly ordinary, but I'll reserve judgment until the entire album drops.

[TAC]

I wouldn't have known that was Russell Allen unless I saw the lineup.

I think he's very good, but he just doesn't do a thing for me.
