Yesterday I bought the new album from Frederic Slama "AOR - L.A Temptation". For this occasion the participating vocalists are closer to Hard Rock than in previous albums. Among them is Paul Sabu. One of the songs he sings is "Out on the streets". His voice is horrible, and he is singing out of place all song. If you thought Meat Loaf was painful, you have to hear this.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919525,919525#msg-919525Sun, 26 May 2013 07:47:35 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919525,919705#msg-919705 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919525,919705#msg-919705-------------------------------------------------------

Dane Donahue, Fergie, Bill Champlin, Lukather, David Roberts... and Jerry Hludzik and Philip Bardowell on the last few... just smooth.
That's what they need to get back to! :)

So we've had to push them more and more towards heavier AOR for every album to get labels interested...]]> Tommy-Denander NoticeboardThu, 15 Nov 2012 08:05:13 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919525,919528#msg-919528 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919525,919528#msg-919528I remember in the early 2000's when the AOR albums were a real high class westcoast treat to look forward to, sounding like Toto, Chicago, Richard Marx, etc... but they are more mainstream melodic rock now. Here's hoping on the next one they go back to their routes, and make an album that recalls sitting on a beach at sunset drinking cocktails... rather than the end of the night on the strip like that Paul Sabu song does... I know what imagery i'd rather have in my head!
