The Official Hard Rock / Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabilia Thread!

I thought that LeBrock was pretty damn good.

Wrong thread!

[TAC]

So one listen to the new Place Vendome.

At the halfway point, I'm thinking that the second half can suck and it'll still be their best since the first one.

And on cue, the second half sucks!
Actually, I'm sure it'll get better with subsequent listens. Kiske sounds amazing. I don't need a great album of music to enjoy Kiske.

Other than Strong, the first half is pretty um..strong.
Riding The Ghost Kai Hansen 

And Kiske on Breathing    Holy hell!

All in all, I'm happy with it. Gotta relisten to the last two PV albums at some point.

Didn't do much for me. It was just kind of there. I wasn't too into that style back in the day.

I've  never checked out PV. It sounds like I probably should...

[TAC]

Start with the first one. The first half is stellar!

That's about all you'll need, though I haven't heard the new one. The tracks they released made me really not want to.

I've ever really liked Kiske's voice that much.

I've ever liked it too!

Apple obviously love it too and have rigged their keyboard to have no disagreement . Trump will be doing that next...

[wolfking]

Good to hear it's pretty good, since the oreo mouth filled samples had us all worried.

And you do know there's a Magnus Karlsson track, right?

PV didn't do much for me.  It was enjoyable, but I wasn't wow'd.  Though to be fair, that seems to be the trend with a lot of new music for me lately.  Same can be said for the other releases from yesterday - Unruly Child, Bloodbound, and Lionville.  All were a nice listen, but that's about all I can say.

[TAC]

Totally fair. Only a handful of really good songs, but maybe only a couple that outright suck. I can live with it. Don't have a choice really.
I can handle some mediocre music, which is what this is, to listen to Kiske. If Kiske was not involved, TAC would not be involved.

[TAC]

Same can be said for the other releases from yesterday - Unruly Child, Bloodbound, and Lionville.   

Just sampled.
My God, what absolute suckage!

[jingle.boy]

Yeah... They were on the softer end of Melodic Rock, which I enjoy from time to time. These 2 were rather mediocre at best.

[TAC]

You'd think a band called Unruly Child would be a little more....um..unruly!

[Lowdz]

Played the Unruly Child earlier. Nice, inoffensive stuff but won't be playing it again. The Tokyo Motor Fist is decent at first listen . Sounds like everything Ted Poles has done outside of Danger Danger.

[Big Hath]

Ted Poles

is that his porn name?

[Lowdz]

It would seem so.

I've been playing the new Armored Saint live album.  It's short and to the point, but excellent.

Out of all the 80's metal singers, John Bush's vocals may have stood the test of time the best.  He really hasn't lost a step and he's truly as good as ever.

[King Postwhore]

I'm watching on ASXTV Real to Real- Inside Metal: Pioneers of LA Hard Rock and Metal.

Not bad, nothing amazing though.  Yeah, saw there is a Magnus track too, should be sweet.

What did I tell you Tim.........fine then, don't listen to me.

Classic Kade!



After Chad's post, I figured I'd check 'em out. Such a bad idea.

I hate being the only kid in the room that doesn't know what's everyone's talking about.

That's because John Bush is not human.
We finally get a great live version of Aftermath. I was so bummed it wasn't included on SWQ. Such a great tune. My second favorite AS tune after Book Of Blood.

New House of Lords is a snooze fest. But I am in a bad mood so not really in the ballad mood 😡

I think I'm going to go for a nap

[TAC]

House Of Lords? A snooze fest?


You don't say!
I can't believe it!
I would never have guessed!
So shocking!
No way!
You're kidding!
You cannot be serious!
I'm completely caught off guard!
What a surprise!

Absolutely agree. I saw Armored Saint in November, and then again a couple years ago opening for Saxon.  He has really taken care of his voice. In some ways, he's actually at his peak now, as opposed to 20 years ago.

Great song. And no, Bush is not human.

hefdaddy, you're supposed to sing!!!

[Lowdz]

I enjoyed the first Vandroya.
Can't say I'm too excited for the others. I'm hoping the Ayreon is good.

[Lowdz]

Just listened to the Labyrinth ANewDream track and have changed my mind. Loved it.

[wolfking]

I'm really looking forward to the Pyramaze.  The last album was brilliant.
