It's hard to tell whether Nicky's disparaging remarks had a hidden agenda or not, to call Heartland the worst ever band is ridiculous. Your pionts - RATHER LARGE CANINE are valid. I stick to thew contention that Ousey is one of the best vocalists in the business and with a harder edged sound I foresee the next Heartland album being an absolute cracker. And as for the Escape records jibe, Nicky I think it's exremely unfair. For a comparatively small label ESCAPE have one of the best quality ratios in the business - I've hardly ever purchased a cd from them that hasn't impressed me. Credit where credit is due.KAOS FAN...
