Hopefully he makes a recovery.

Was just listening to Strangers in the Night the other day. UFO has to be one of the most underrated bands in the history of rock music.

[wolfking]

Terrible stuff, all the best and hopefully a full recovery.

[Imaginos]

He's a great bass player, I've always loved the intro to Cherry. Plus he was always one of those guys that just looked cool while he played. Hope he's alright and makes a full recovery.

Did you guys see this?

Dio hologram performance. Pretty damn cool!

[BlobVanDam]

Saw it about a week ago. Personally I think it's a bit of a tasteless slippery slope, but I guess it would be interesting to see live.

[TAC]

I see what you're saying. I would hate to see them market a tour around it.
But as a one off in a setting like that, I think it's fine.



Don't suppose DT would ever play the 12 Step Suite with an MP hologram.

[Lowdz]

It was a bit spooky but I thought they would have chosen a better vocal

[bl5150]

At least in that performance they're not using tapes of Doug Aldrich.

[BlobVanDam]

I thought that, but it's probably also a matter of what they can get access to. It has to be a good quality multitrack live recording so they can isolate the vocal, plus there's there's the issue of which label they were able to source and license it from.

[jjrock88]

But anytime you can expose a younger audience to true metal through Dio, that's a positive

[wolfking]

Another DGM song;

Pretty damn cool.

[BlobVanDam]

Not bad. That song didn't really grab me, but it's a better blending of the melodic side and the metal side than most Frontiers stuff.

[TAC]

Pretty sure it's a typo, but are we sure Tommy Aldridge isn't actually 634 years old?

[wolfking]

To be fair, he does actually look that old.

[BlobVanDam]

I wouldn't doubt that figure for a minute. I'm sure the wind erosion patterns on his face could verify it.

Dude still rocks hard though!

[wolfking]

Dude still rocks hard though!

Rocks harder than kids half his age, even at 634! 

[TAC]

Yeah, and he doesn't look a day over 565! 

[wolfking]

So looks like the 'Trinity' 'Three Tremors' project is finally happening........but Tate got the replacements.

Wow. 

[bl5150]

 


Hopefully for jj the trinity do

A trilogy of shit stranger songs

Wow.

More like bow wow.

[Art]

I would see them live for Blaze and Ripper.

[jjrock88]

A trilogy of shit stranger songs

A triple threat singing of "the stranger" would be a musical disaster and my worlds would be colliding!

It's too bad that original three tremors idea never came to fruition around 2000-2001. I have a feeling that Geoff was hesitant to do it because that was the time period that he was really anti metal and kept giving interviews knocking metal.  But I never actually heard a reason; I'm sure the interest would have been high. A full album would have been awesome. That one duet on Resurrection, The One you Love to Hate, is spectacular

Same.

I think just trying to work around all three schedules was probably a bit too difficult also.  It would have been a great project at the time.

[jjrock88]

yeah, it probably came down to a schedule conflict

[Lowdz]

But who would have written the songs? Only Bruce writes songs.

[bl5150]

They've all been booted from their main bands so I'll call them The DiVested        Had to get a vest in there somwhere 


And Gunners touring Australia and playing the MCG in my hometown     Hopefully they get the response they are expecting as that ground holds 100,000 people (assuming what they lose from the stands behind the stage they make up for on the "floor"

[bl5150]

Coming November 4th

What do you guys think of this?
https://bravewords.com/news/dirkschneider-to-release-live-back-to-the-roots-album-this-october

It's a great setlist. Not sure what it would be like without Wolf's great tone.

[jjrock88]

I was just looking at that this morning. The set list does look fantastic but I would be much more interested in a new live album from the new Accept.  Maybe it's just the blabbermouth spin, but UDO has come across as quite bitter towards Accept in the numerous interviews they post with him. Is this really going to be the last time he plays Accept tunes? I doubt it lol

I'm sorry, TAC, but I thought that was fucking CREEPY.

Wow.

Wow is right.  There's a lot of innuendo there.  Shouldn't it be Todd La Torre in there?  Or does this mean that even Geoff thinks he's not the 'real guy' in Queensryche any more?  Haha.

The thing I thought was weird is that there is no DVD, UDO loves his live DVD's.  Seriously though, it should be an interesting listen.  His two guitarists at the moment smoke pretty hard, so no doubt they'll do a good job, it's just that their styles is of a more modern shredder as opposed to Wolf's more classic style.
