Something about the acoustic guitar reminds me of CCR's Who'll Stop The Rain? and there is something about those striking opening notes that reminds me of The Traveling Wilbury's or even Tom Petty's Mary Jane's Last Dance? Definitely hear the Steve Perry comparisons.
I showed my daughter the video and she said the singer looks like a cross between the lead singer from Train, John Stamos, and Adam Lambert.

It works fine, in some songs.


"Maybe if he sounded more like Fergie Frederiksen he'd get more love here..."


For sure!

And, rocknut, both of those songs you mentioned reminded me of Manic Street....just not as good. The vocalist sure gets annoying.

I can actually hear Steve Perry in there too, and as someone mentioned, there are hints at Vigilante era Magnum in there too (!). Not sure about Travelling Wilburys though....as that is another band I've avoided.

Because it sounds like The Travelling Wilburys with Steve Perry singing the chorus...simple really.]]> gary191265 NoticeboardThu, 07 Feb 2013 22:29:24 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929657#msg-929657 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929657#msg-929657 rattman NoticeboardThu, 07 Feb 2013 22:13:44 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929654#msg-929654 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929654#msg-929654 Scott NoticeboardThu, 07 Feb 2013 21:56:23 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929653#msg-929653 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929653#msg-929653 Duncan NoticeboardThu, 07 Feb 2013 21:40:35 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929651#msg-929651 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,929649,929651#msg-929651
