Sounds good to me as just what I wouldn't want (i.e. predictably top class melodic rock in the James Christian/ HofL style!). Bring it on (and bring on a JC solo tour or show doing his solo material at a future Firefest).

Rush of Fools - We Once Were (Switchfoot/The Afters style Christian rock). Colton Dixon - A Messenger (Christian rock similar to David Cook/Daughtry). W.E.T. - Rise Up.

Yes yes yes Benitez for City! He can drag them even further backwards! Bring it on! Brown, O'Shea, Neville brothers, Butt, Scholes, Beckham, Rafael, Fabio, Wellbeck, Cleverley, Evans, Giggsy, Sharpe, Sparky Hughes, Gibson. There's a few United youth players in the first team for numerous apperances over the years. Plus unheard of bargains like Schmeichel, Kanchelskis, Smalling, Hernandez and t

Great news for sure! Love all seasons, some more than others, and can't wait for a return. Movie was mentioned lots but never materialised. Homeland season 2 was superb and that really is another absolute gem of an American TV series. Classy drama.

Classless decision by a typical money driven classless club I'm afraid. No loyalty, no honour, no respect. Never liked Mancini obviously as a United fan but winning the league and FA Cup plus being second in both this season after decades of nothing can't be justification in anyone's books or by any club for a sacking. Pathetic and dispicable decision handled terribly just as it was when S

Is this really true?! Thought it was done n dusted for good or may still have a movie version left at best but this was my favourite show for years so would love to see 24 return if they can keep the standard high without getting ridiculous. Very interested/excited.

I love Christian rock musics with lyrics I can personally relate to due to my own faith and I love secular rock music with lyrics that I'm often quite comfortable with and sometimes a little uncomfortable with but the quality of the music and songs can enable me to overcome my temptation to turn off if lyrics are too overtly pervy/sexualised for my tastes. The tracks/albums that are too strong

My dad's an Aldershot fan so they're up there in my soft spot teams after United. Dean Holdsworth was sacked by the Shots before they finished bottom of league two and got relegated back to the Conference so I say 'get Deano Glazers'! In Rafa we rust so definitely not that plonker ever!!!

No refunds needed for me. Shame Richie won't be there but can't wait to enjoy Bon Jovi live again and I'm sure the replacement will be a class act to be chosen for a band of this magnitude.

Oh guys! Love these comments and gags! Made me laugh out loud! Dean Saunders is clearly the way to go though (although I thought Rene Meulensteen was serious for a minute when interviewed earlier and he suggested our mascot 'Fred the Red'! Steeped in the traditions of the club!!!). For me it's Moyes.

Ha ha re Suarez line! Nice! Amazing news on one of the most historic days in United and world football history in my lifetime as a United and footie fan. No sufficient words to describe the success and legacy of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. The trophies and stats say it all. LEGEND!!! Nobody can ever replace the man but for me the next boss should be Moyes or a United legend for Ferg

Skillet Harem Scarem re-record Mood Swings (plus 2 or 3 new tracks) Winger newie (get in!) Work of Art Guardian (if it ever happens?) Night Ranger So far this year it's W.E.T., Vega, Colton Dixon and FM up there for me as the best of the lot (plus best 5 or 6 tracks off Bon Jovi - skip the rest!).

What a classic this was mid-90s amidst a very barren time for melodic rock quality albums as Grunge took over the world. Provided some joyous much needed respite for me in the wilderness years. Yes it is ballad heavy I agree, but when the ballads are this good...

Can't wait for the newie. Loved all of their last 4 albums and particularly the huge last 2 CDs. One of my favourite bands of last 10 years. Corking modern rock music with HUGE CHORUSES!!!

Good shout ROCKDOG! Just ordered it at that crazily bargainous price. Can't wait to hear those silky tones of John Elefante rocking again.

My favourite year of melodic rock music and you can add 'Hold Your Fire' by Firehouse to the list too I think plus 'Prisoners in Paradise' by Europe and was 'Backlash' by Bad English 92 too? What a peak in melodic rock 92 truly was just before grunge hit! Just recently ordered 21 Guns 'Salute' on CD and it's a true classic of the genre. Awesome CD.

A few references to Avengers but nothing essential to know about if you haven't seen it. Just out in UK today and saw it this afty. Absolutely stonking film, very entertaining and funny with superb action. Not sure why 3D was necessary though other than for the cash! Stay til the end of the credits folks too. Great funny scene that would mean more if you saw Avengers for that one thing alon

Only stating facts. City were the better team overall last season, played some cracking good football and Fergie congratulated them when they won it (no insisting they were 'lucky' and that his own team are 'the better team' a la Mancini tosh this season!). Fergie also agreed that Chelsea deserved to win at United in FA Cup first match at Old Trafford. Gracious in victory or defeat is somethin

Partially agree. HAND is the modern Bon Jovi peak and full of modern twists on the rocking Bon Jovi classic style but this latest release and 'The Circle' have some real gems in there but are like music from a different band and have far too much average 'filler'. More 7 out of 10 albums than the 9s and 10s of albums 3-5 (Slippery to Keep the Faith) and HAND for my tastes but thankfully just a

Snap! I was in North West quadrant at Old Trafford for a night of pure joy and celebration too. What an awesome party and that first 30 minutes was stunning, particularly that immense 2nd goal! Goal of the season surely for technique and skill level alone! United 20 times Champions and steaming ever further ahead of those whinging Scousers!

Wow that voice sounds as perfect as ever. Loving the passion in the vocals, music, lyrics and sound of these samples. Looking forward to purchasing this one asap once it's out. Sounds great.

Yeah me too. I enjoyed the debut and it has a blistering start for sure and is very consistent but a little melodic rock by numbers in places for me whereas the new CD sounds fresh, vibrant and full of melodic rock classics. Sure it's not original but what is in melodic rock really? I love the new 'Rise Up' Cd probably a mark more 9/10 than the debut 8/10 for me and can't wait to see W.E.T. l

I love the first 2 albums, thought 3 was slower but a grower definitely, liked the acoustics album and loved Category No.5 for a slightly more contemporary vibe. Bought O2 and Prime Time and give or take 2 or 3 tracks was very disappointed in both and sold them on. Deeply average for my tastes alas.

Love th enthusiasm Woody and I agree with just about every word (although I didn't see and am not into Serpentine yet). Great night, cracking music from Vega and FM and a quality crowd reaction. Felt like a mini-Firefest to me. Loved it!

Superb album this and definitely a significant step up in quality from the very good debut album. Bigger choruses that I love and up there with recent releases from FM, W.E.T. and far outdoing Bon Jovi's new CD for my tastes. This band deserve much greater recognition and promition for me and if the scene is to survive beyond the aging legends of the Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Journey

Yep my favourite REO album too definitely! Glorious melodic rock tracks on there with a little less twang from your average REO album. Great CD.

It's the 87-92 era for me and probably 92 itself I think for a wealth of classic releases just before grunge hit! Off the top of my every-balding head I think 92 saw the releases of: Firehouse - Hold Your Fire Giant - Time To Burn Harem Scarem - Mood Swings Europe - Prisoners in Paradise Bad English - Backlash (I think?) Loads more I loved but can't remember now.

Couldn't agree more re quality of Vega and FM sets and bought the new 'What the hell!' CD too. Wow! On first 2 spins it's awesome and a real step up from the enjoyable but not amazing debut. Vega were superb and great to hear loads of quality new songs. FM were typically superb and got the crowd reaction they deserved. Interesting set list and not 100% my preference (as my favourite albums
