Hmm - seems Danny Vaughn was in town last night and I didn't even know.  Did a show with The Ultimate Eagles in Melbourne.  Looks like tix for this Eagles cover band were about the same as what I would pay for a KISS concert     So I guess I wouldn't have gone even if I did know.

Danny Vaughn playing with an Eagles tribute?  The fuck? haha.

Good to see the Jorn is sounding like a big step up.

[wolfking]

Brent, those first 3 random Morifade songs were okay but nothing special if I'm being honest, but those tracks from Domination were good, like really fucking good actually.

Cool. I love those songs too and unusually for me the drumming is also a real attraction. As I said in the show the real intention was to feature Domi<>nation but I know that some people prefer those early albums (and they do show hints of what's to come) so thought I would give that taster.

I've always been a fan of Tyketto, but that just doesn't fit.    Then again hearing Garth Brooks do KISS totally surprised me sounding as good as it did.

Definitely enjoyed the Domination tracks more.  You're right too, they sound fantastic, Andy did a great job here.  Probably next to impossible to get it on cd I'm guessing.

[wolfking]

Fuck yeah, that Elegy was balls out!

The only thing I know about rap is that the "C" is silent.

rapc

You could play the big hit from the West Texas Rednecks, "Rap is Crap" to emphasize that

I had not heard that before.   They're pretty crap too but not as crap as rap

There's a lot of country influences on the second Tyketto album and Danny's Vaughn albums so I can see it.

[Lowdz]

So I've listened to the two new Mr Big tracks, and the last couple of reunion albums. Has Eric's voice gone or is the production just shit?
Everything sounds dull and muddy. Needs some top end from the guitars.

Brent, not sure if you said it before the song, but is taht Elegy song a fair representation of the album?

[jingle.boy]

Ian Parry Elegy is excellent.  Not sure which song/album is on the Podcast, but I remember that an Elegy (pre Ian Parry) made Brent's Top 50.

I'm No Fool from Labyrinth of Dreams.

[bl5150]

Yeah - definitely.  That was the single so probably one of the shorter , more catchy songs but the answer is yes.   If you like that you should at least get Labyrinth of Dreams and Supremacy.

Another one you may like from the debut was The Grande Change

Fuck yeah, insane soloing!

It does give me an old school DT feel with like Tate/Midnight style vox, really good shit.

Just checking this out now. Damn!

[bl5150]

As Chad said it was in my DTF Top 50 , likely with these exact same songs linked....... 

EDIT : Looks like I featured the 2nd album Supremacy for some reason .  The debut had more impact but either way - both strong albums

[TAC]

I'm sorry if I don't have your Top 50 f'n memorized!

[wolfking]

I'm sorry if I don't have your Top 50 f'n memorized!

Same haha.

I'm listening to the full album on youtube now, it's awesome. 

[TAC]

I'll hit it tomorrow. Got the day off.

[bl5150]

I'm sorry if I don't have your Top 50 f'n memorized!

I wasn't suggesting you should   

I was assuming though that if you loved an album/linked tracks in someone's Top 50 that you would likely have followed up and know of them .  That's the whole point of following Top 50's aint it?

You were probably too busy checking out the Winger links.  I understand 

[wolfking]

Brent, worth checking out the other two older albums from Elegy?

[bl5150]

I would initially focus on the first two (debut and Supremacy) -  the cover to Lost was always a favourite but from memory some of it got a bit too "poppy" for my liking.  Having said that if you like the guitar playing I would check that out too - it does have a couple of great tracks on it.

From there the first album with Ian Parry (State of Mind) regains the heavy edge and is a ripper.   The follow up (Manifestation Of Fear) is a concept album with 2 or 3 great songs but other than that I wasn't a huge fan.

After that the main guitarist and founder of the band left and was replaced with Patrick Rondat who IMHO should've stuck to instrumentals......I know Chad differs on this but to me the songs just aren't there in those last couple of albums.

So.......if I were to buy 3 it would be Labyrinth of Dreams, Supremacy and State of Mind.

[wolfking]

I'll just check them all out I think!!

Brent, my brain is only so big.

[jingle.boy]

Of the Parry-era albums, I mostly agree with Brent's assessment

State of Mind > Forbidden Fruit > Principles of Pain > Manifestations of Fear

Brent, my brain is only so big.

You sure it's your brain that gets big listening to Winger?

[TAC]

Shrinkage. Total shrinkage!

True. I think the different vocal styles throw me off. Though, anything is possible. Slayer doing In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida?

[wolfking]

That Portrait was awesome.  I liked the song you sent in my roulette Brent but that track from what I remember was better.  Definitely have to check it out.

So in my basement, I have this giant blue bin filled with old stuff. It has all of my concert pics, ticket stubs. That sort of thing. Today I finally grabbed it and organized my pictures and threw out some junk. Over the years, my pics had all become mixed up in giant piles.
My plan now is to eventually get them all scanned in. Going to crop out some arms and heads. Hopefully as I scan them, I will post a few. Have some special ones for you, Kade!

Thankfully, I've been such a packrat, I've managed to hold onto all of my ticket stubs.  I have all but maybe 5-6 that were shows where they either took them or didn't have physical tix.  I have them in 3 books specifically made for concert tix.  I have any picks gotten from shows alongside the corresponding tickets.  They're cool to look through every now and then.  My first concert (KISS @ MSG, 12/16/85) was $12.50 for the ticket.  I miss those days!
