I think I'm missing the joke here.

You were. Last time I "didn't remember", I really didn't remember (Big Hath's post). This time, I was poking fun at myself.

And that Double Eclipse faux pas was because I was shit-faced when I typed it. :durnk:

Damn... that really should be an emot of some kind.

Whoa! Awesome. Love me my Harry. I didn't even know a new album was coming!

wolfking · « **Reply #4097 on:** May 02, 2016, 07:24:42 PM »

That First Signal song is really solid. Reminds me a bit of the Find Me, well done and quite fresh for the genre. Harry sounds great as usual.

I got a copy of the previous First Signal album based on this new song alone.

Wowers!

First one is good, a couple of filler but a lot of good melodic rock.

Same studio booking and session time?

I really fucking love this band.

I'm surprised you're so into them considering it sounds as soft and generic as anything else Frontiers churns out.

mr.com gives the new Ted Poley 96% but gives the new Sunstorm 77%!? Errrr..................

I recall liking what I heard of the Ted Poley album so far, and it doesn't surprise me they rated that highly, but WTF with Sunstorm? Why would they rate it that low? That's basically 0% from that site. It's right up their alley, and it's a solid album.

I enjoyed this First Signal track, not as much as the first one though. Sounding like a solid album so far.

wolfking · « **Reply #4108 on:** May 11, 2016, 05:54:20 AM »

Yeah I thought the same with the First Signal, not as strong as the others, but still good.

Yeah, maybe it's too heavy for Andrew or something the Sunstorm.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #4109 on:** May 11, 2016, 05:55:21 AM »

Dunno.

Maybe JLT didn't return his phonecall or something.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #4110 on:** May 11, 2016, 05:59:17 AM »

I figured this is the place to ask. I'm trying to think of an AOR band that I listened to years ago, though the band name escapes me. I remember very little. The word "warning" comes to mind, and that they had a number as one of their album titles. Van Halen comes to mind, too. Yes, I know. Wonderful clues.

bl5150 · « **Reply #4111 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:01:58 AM »

Fair Warning -4 ? Also happens to be the name of a VH album.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #4112 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:02:47 AM »

Shit, that's right.

Thanks. Off to Spotify.

Ninja'd

But come on, that was too easy.

bl5150 · « **Reply #4114 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:06:56 AM »

If you know them well Blob, you'd be one of the few around here. I was a big fan back in the day - esp the debut.

You know, I have these moments where things I should know completely slip my mind. Once he mentioned the band, I was kind of surprised that I forgot their name.

I've never heard of them, I just meant the clues alone.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #4117 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:12:31 AM »

They only have a couple of albums of theirs on Spotify, so I'm listening to Rainmaker which I never heard before.

bl5150 · « **Reply #4118 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:14:12 AM »

The debut is more hard rock , Rainmaker more mainstream sounding. The songs that come to mind are Burning Heart and Childrens Eyes.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #4119 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:21:21 AM »

I'm halfway through it. The Rain Song is beautiful. I've always been a sucker for those slow songs, power ballads, etc.

bl5150 · « **Reply #4120 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:22:17 AM »

Yeah - I remember that too. If you like that side of their music them also check out the album Go!

That's the one I heard first! Thank you for reminding me about it. Go and 4 were the two albums my friend played for me that I loved. He is probably the one person I know that knows just as much about AOR as everyone here.

Rainmaker was one of my very early CD purchases.

Their debut is a hard rock classic , so don't forget that.

I'll give you another lead to follow. Fair Warning was formed out of the ashes of the band Zeno , which featured Zeno Roth(younger brother of Uli Jon Roth) on guitar. The album featured Tommy Heart from FW (vox)on a few tracks and a number of the FW band members.

See if you can track down the album Zenology and see what you think.

I noticed that about a lot of AOR/melodic rock bands. There is always a member or two who were from another band or some other collaboration. Every band is linked to a handful of bands. You don't see that in any other genre except prog rock and power metal. I like it, though. It's an endless search for similar bands.

I was hoping to find Blue Tears on Spotify, but no such luck. True Romance was always on my depressing mix.

I'm going to look for Zenology, though. If I can't find it on Spotify, I'll check YouTube. If not there, I'll search some of the sites I use on the Internet.

*in search mode*

if you're really stuck for something , then let me know

Prog Snob · « **Reply #4125 on:** May 11, 2016, 06:39:18 AM »

Thank you.

I found it on YouTube and listening right now. So far, so good. I also found it used on Amazon for $6, so I might wind up buying it.

wolfking · « **Reply #4126 on:** May 11, 2016, 02:52:55 PM »

I only have one of Fair Warning's later albums, and it's pretty meh. Should check some of their older stuff.

Lowdz · « **Reply #4127 on:** May 11, 2016, 03:15:59 PM »

I think 4 is my favourite FW album.

The 1st two Zeno albums are ok, very similar to FW really.

wolfking · « **Reply #4128 on:** May 11, 2016, 04:16:03 PM »

I lied, I have two albums, Brother's Keeper and Sundancer. Neither really got me going.
