Luckily, I need a reason to get 'into' Edguy.  I only have Space Police and Rocket Ride, so this package is something that appeals to me.

Unluckily, I'm unemployed and really should be watching where I spend my money.

phsaw.

The tracklist is actually really shit and not a good representation of their best IMO.  Get Mandrake and Hellfire Club, then Savage Poetry and Theater of Salvation.

The guy's a good drummer (I really like what he did with W.A.S.P.).  But, the more I hear and see of this guy, the more he really comes off like a tool.  At this point, he's really just pissing on Kevin DuBrow's grave with what he's doing with Quiet Riot.  Apparently, he's not good enough to have latched on somewhere else in the 10 years since DuBrow died.  He has to continue this revolving door of singers.  It's not quite as bad as Bobby Blotzer's Ratt.  But, it's not too far off.

Usually if I'm getting into a band, I will go for a live album. Burning Down The Opera is pretty good. It came between Mandrake and Hellfire Club.

I prefer THE Savage Poetry, which is an upgrade over Savage Poetry.

Apparently he's got a dude from f'n American Idol now on the new album. ONLY because I was glued to my couch for a few days, I checked the two tracks that Bravewords posted. Holy shit what suckage!

Good call, that live album is excellent.  Yeah, of course I meant the re-recorded Savage Poetry.  The original is bloody hilarious!!

Yeah, he replaced this guy Seann Nichols who was there for 10 seconds, but long enough to record an entire album.  Then, QR and Nichols split and Banali shit all over him in the press.  Now, both sides are re-recording the material their own way.  Nichols' versions of the two songs I've heard sound better than (but still not great) QR's versions.  Ironically, Nichols is now the singer in BB's Ratt.  And, regardless of who's version you're listening to, the new material just isn't QR.

Thank God I stopped listening to Quiet Riot and Ratt in 1985. They sucked then and I can't imagine WTF they must sound like now.

As far as Ratt goes, the other guys are back together (with Carlos Cavazo in place of Robin Crosby) and touring.  Apparently, they won the name in court, which is why BB's Ratt hasn't been seen or heard from in months.

RATT were great back in the day, and I have a soft spot for the s/t from a few years ago. Pearcy has a shit voice but it's ok on their albums.

I was never into QR at all, couldn't see what the fuss was about. You should never be allowed to get famous on the back of a cover version until you've had hits of your own. They should make a rule 😀

I was on them from the beginning. Their singer truly held them back. After the first album, I literally couldn't listen to him/them.

They certainly succeeded in spite of him, rather than because of him. I saw him live at Monsters of a Rock in 84 and he was pitiful. Saw them a few more times and he wasn't any better.
I loved their guitar tones though. And Di Martini was great. He was, however, surprisingly shit in Whitesnake when I thought he would have been perfect.

I was very disappointed with the track list. Too many rom the latest album, nearly all of the Superheroes ep (though I do like those tracks). It has arrived but not played the DVD yet. Cricket has been on 😀

Alright you fuckers... then give me what should be the double-CD "best of" Edguy.

[TAC]

Burning Down The Opera.

Honestly, I haven't cared for much that came after. I totally skipped Space Police which I'm told was pretty good.

[Lowdz]

The first disc and a half of the Hall of Flames compo and the Rocket Ride and Hellfire Club albums would be a start.

New Alice. Only heard the first 20 seconds but I like it so far 😀

Not sure why, but when I saw that a track was released today, I thought it was the same song he released a while back.

I like this too. Based on the first two tracks, this album is already a big improvement over the last few.

[jjrock88]

I'm not feeling these new Alice Cooper tracks at all

Challenge accepted fucker!  I have a couple of hours doing nothing right now so I'll be back in an hour.

Fantastic.  Created my Spotify playlist, and will be spinning later today/tomorrow. 

I find this to be an excellent way of discovering a band - rather than try to work through a the discog of a band that was (as I like to say) off my radar - especially when its 5+ albums to try and sift through.  Brent helped me out with Tad Morose and Talisman a while back.

[wolfking]

Cool stuff Chad.

I'd like to know what you other Edguyheads think of my compilation.

[Lowdz]

Not much wrong with that at first glance.

Played the new Edguy songs on the new album, enjoyed them. Still not watched the DVD but I don't think the cricket will last all day tomorrow so may get a chance then 😀

Piss off Vince you fat fuck.  Funny they actually apologised for booking.  Damage already done bro lol.

Looks like this release got pushed back a week down here.

Glad you are enjoying them.

[bl5150]

I find this quite offensive - "full figured fuck" would be more sensitive Kade.

I have missed you guys 

Doesn't seem that I have missed any major DTF happenings in recent weeks - should be up to date by mid week in terms of anything in this thread , PMs etc...

[TAC]

Slim challenged fuck!

[bl5150]

Speaking of slim challenged , but with more class than Vince has in his little finger...........

Steve Grimmett out there and rockin it barely six months after losing a leg and almost dying - and sounding pretty good doing it

[TAC]

Yeah, I saw that. You can't say that he's not a trooper.

Finally the Brent has come back to the Official Hard Rock/Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabillia Thread!
