Having a listen to the new (well, most recent) Mike Lepond, not bad. I like what I'm hearing more than the first one. Not really what I expected. Reminds me heavy of later Metal Church, even Overkill without the thrash element turned down a bit. I think mainly cause the singer sounds a lot like Bobby.

Meat and potatoes, no bullshit style metal, above solid.

Yeah, it's a cool album. Been enjoying it very much!

wolfking · « **Reply #9452 on:** April 17, 2018, 05:32:01 AM »

Had a couple of listens to the new Borealis too. Even though there's nothing new and it's petty much a continuation of the last one, it's really quite impressive.

Agreed. 'new' or not, great music is still great music.

Herbie Langhans no longer in Sinbreed?

Their last album was awesome.

So I just bought Rainbow's...um..excuse me..Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow's

Memories In Rock II. Apparently I missed the first one..but this has a new studio track..Waiting For A Sign.

What do you guys think about it?

Romero's voice really is a great cross between Dio and Coverdale. For being the first new song in a million years, I'd say it's a little underwhelming, but listening to it a couple of times, it's actually pretty good. Very classic sounding.

So this is my thought...Blackmore's disappearance from the hard rock scene is a crime.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #9456 on:** April 17, 2018, 07:05:46 PM »

I'm a big Romero fanboy. Will definite spin this when I get a chance.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #9457 on:** April 17, 2018, 07:23:58 PM »

It's pretty mellow, but I dig it. I can easily imagine Ronnie singing that one and I think it would fit in nicely on "On Stage" with a five minute guitar solo.

Cool tune

Lowdz · « **Reply #9458 on:** April 18, 2018, 05:26:07 AM »

With the new song and the re-record Of I Surrender, I felt that he just couldn’t be bothered to record a rhythm guitar.
Romero always sounds great.

New Lizzy Borden track https://youtu.be/-vJdiJ8A8Qo

Musically it's pretty much what I expected. A solid enough track but I have some issues with the production. Not a fan of the effect on Lizzy's voice and he's mixed too quietly. I know sometimes Youtube isn't a good indicator of how it will sound on CD so I'll hope that's the case here.

Sounds very "single-ish" but yeah.........solid enough to suggest some effort has gone into the album. Not sure about the sound but we'll see when the real thing hits.

God Damn Wal Mart.

I would imagine Stryper was intentionally looking to cause controversy with this album title, so this Walmart story is probably exactly what they want.

Same after I listened to the new track I started listening to some of my favorites from Appointment With death and long story short ended up listening to the full album out of order. I forgot how much I enjoyed that album.

Just got back from a Vince Neil/Helix show.

I think Vince looks exactly like Mickey Rourke. Vince was...........rough to say the least, but he tried.

Now Helix, they have good lyrics. Gimme an R...O...C...K....then the crowd yells really loud. That's a concert! Now Rush don't do stuff like that. They have lyrics about how trees talk to each other and how different sides of your brain works and outer space bullshit (Chad will get it)

jingle.boy · « **Reply #9467 on:** April 20, 2018, 05:21:40 AM »

I saw Helix/Lee Aaron back in the fall. Both sounded pretty good, but holy shit do Helix look like there are some HARD miles under the hood.

New Dokken

https://bravewords.com/news/dokken-premiers-official-music-video-for-new-song-it-s-just-another-day

Did not listen to the new track today (I got a download, and moved the new track to the end). I will say that musically, the live performance is really good. Vocally, live, Don's not the same guy at all. He isn't as dynamic as he once was. But I am enjoying it so far. I may even go buy the physical edition (I got a promotional press download).

A shitload of work, two girls that are lovely but nerve wrecking at the same time

and not enough time to listen to music. But I can't complain, everything's good.

Good to hear.

I am guessing that Tim will be pleased to see Ken Mary is into Flotsam & Jetsam as a permanent member

I am also guessing that Paul will be interested in my old aunty's review of the recent Robert Plant gig here in Oz ........"bloody horrific". And that's from a Zep fan

At his prime he would be bloody horrific. Now? I don’t think there are words. I’ve taken him off my To Punch List, because he’s an old man now.

I went to the G3 gig the other night and despite Uli Roth being completely awesome, his singer wanted to be a Robert Plant so bad, and I had to resist the urge to get on stage and slap him 😀

Well, I was not happy that Jason Bittner left. He was fantastic on their last album, and had a style very similar to Kelly Smith's. It's one of the things that gave the s/t that classic feel.

bl5150 · « **Reply #9481 on:** April 30, 2018, 07:16:52 PM »

Might've been Jay I was thinking of who is a big Ken Mary fan (Fifth Angel and all). Bittner left to be in Overkill if memory serves correct .......I assume that's a minor step up in terms of the "pull" of the respective bands.

Rumours around that the Conception boys have been spotted together. I realise that probably means little to many but I'd be on board "bigly."

Now confirmed

Def Leppard are bringing their Hysteria anniversary show out to Australia - I had decided I couldn't be bothered this time around but have changed my mind seeing as Scorpions are supporting . They have never done a proper Australian tour as (Winds of Change aside) they were never big out here.. I can't say that I am their hugest fan but I do like plenty of songs and would like to see them.
