<title>As I travel back in time...</title>
<description> Sorry peoples, dribbling about past glories once again. As I've said a few times my musical journey is heading in the opposite direction to most as I revisit the stuff I missed as a younger (and poorer :-( ) dude. My latest acquisition is Steve Stevens' Atomic Playboys album, and my how impressed am I. I've been long familiar with two tracks from the album &amp;quot;Atomic Playboys&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Action&amp;quot; and had to satisfy my long time curiousity by purchasing the album. Well I've been playing it non-stop, its unreal. The diversity of the tracks, a nice little instrumental, the singer's voice is fantastic, so powerful. And although Steve can play, I don't get the impression that he's wanking all over this, the playing is great don't get me wrong, but I think its more of an overall sound that he got out of it and not just concentrating on his guitar work - and for that he gets respect!

Anyone else got it? I spose I'm the last person on this board to get my hands on a copy, as per usual, I'm a bit slow you see. But hey, great album, its up there with most classic albums of the late 80's in my opinion.

And so ends this page of crap. Aussie aussie aussie...

Cheers and beers

Can you remember the film clips, they were pretty cool too, especially Atomic Playboys - go the chicks! Well I'm out to find the Warrior album you have suggested then, I rate his voice highly. I'm almost back to '85 in my journey so I've got it on my list now. Thanks for the recommendation.<br /><br />Cheers and beers<br /><br />Benno]]></description>

<title>RE: As I travel back in time...</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,5975,5976#msg-5976</link><description><![CDATA[ Benno, the Atomic Playboys album kicketh ass indeed! SS and PMcC cover a lot of ground here, very unusual for the time it was released (and probably a tad too eclectic for the average melodic rock fan, unfortunately....which must be the reason why it didn't go over too well). Other than the title track (one of my favorite songs ever!), the 'Action' cover, and 'Run Across Desert Sands', I really dig 'Power Of Suggestion' - cool horn section in there! Steve is simply a phenomenal guitar player without the constant need to showcase his abilities like the Yngwies of this world. Parramore McCarty is a powerhouse vocalist and he fits in nicely even though he's really a true Halford-meets-Dio-style heavy metal singer. Check him out on Warrior's 1985 classic 'Fighting For The Earth' (L.A. metal at its best!) and the more recent 'Ancient Future'. Also, Stevie's latest, 'Flamenco A Go-Go', is a stroke of genius! I don't think those two guys realized how good of a thing - musically anyway - they had together...]]></description>
