I saw Royal Hunt coupla nights ago, supporting Dio... great gig all round... I was very impressed by John West´s singing and want to get something with him on. But where do I start? Royal Hunt´s Fear? Artension (which?)? Solo? My tastes hover around the Malmsteen-Dio-Impelliteri-Ten-Sonata Arctica area. All comments gratefully received!

The guitar players on 'Permanent Mark' are Jeff Kollman (Mogg/Way, Edwin Dare, Cosmosquad) and Scott Stine (Haji's Kitchen, Enaic Requiem). Both are absolutely phenomenal - Scott's an all-out shredder while Jeff, who can rip it up as well, brings more of a jazzy-Schenker-on-steroids vibe to the table - very tasty licks. Both Scott and Jeff contribute songs on PM - the rest was written by George Bellas who must have bailed before the recording for some reason. My fave songs are 'Permanent Mark', which is Jeff's, and 'Pariah' by Scott, but everything is very, very good - even most of the Bellas stuff. Easily one of the most underrated metal albums of the late 90's IMO.]]> John Q NoticeboardTue, 13 Jun 2000 10:26:03 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2158#msg-2158 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2158#msg-2158Out of interest: anyone care to comment on RH´s best? Which album does "Message To God" come from (bought the single at the gig, can´t stop playing it! That´s DC Cooper singing though, right?)? Thanks again!!!]]> Steve, Denmark NoticeboardTue, 13 Jun 2000 04:36:54 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2145#msg-2145 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2145#msg-2145it is a great CD with all the elements you are looking for. The first song
sounds like Glenn Hughes at his rockin best. I also like the Artesion stuff alot.
However the new Royal Hunt was a letdown, his vocals were too much in
check to fit the format. John West also sang on Cozy Powell last CD, which
he sounds great.

I happen to disagree with you on many points but I do agree with you on Vitalij Kuprij's second album - Extreme Measures, as being totally sick in the sense that it is a neo-calssical extravaganza - mindfuckinblowing!]]> sabatar NoticeboardMon, 12 Jun 2000 04:58:26 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2130#msg-2130 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2130#msg-2130 John Q NoticeboardSun, 11 Jun 2000 19:53:29 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2126#msg-2126 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,2126,2126#msg-2126 Steve, Denmark NoticeboardSun, 11 Jun 2000 18:40:23 +1000
