Good grief. I seriously worry about this board sometimes.

Crazy thing is that I didn't really dig the first 2 BR albums. This one just has the right songs and a huge sound.

Burning Rain Epic Obsession is well, ummm...EPIC. What a leap forward from Pleasure to Burn. Doug's playing and writing has gone to a new level since working with Whitesnake. Loving this right now even more than H&E.

I don't mind the songs, although I'm not sure what sets this apart from being another HOL album, especially with the list of players. The clips just sound off to me. Like they're unmastered demos or something like that. I'm hoping that's just a quality thing with youtube.

Excellent album...and with Black Tiger and Mean Streak, it represents the most consistent time in their careers. I love most of what the band has done, but it's hard to top those three. And they still hold up today.

Love the sound of both, actually. I didn't mean the music was a joke, just that it was a funny little side project that they didn't take seriously. Bleu should put it up on Kickstarter and get that thing released already.
Forum: Noticeboard

I thought it was a joke...almost like a tribute album. It had Bleu and members of Rooney, The Donnas, and Bang Camaro. Sounds like a side project that never took off.

I always felt the debut was too generic, save for the couple of singles (18 & Life, I Remember You, YGW). Otherwise, it's full of hair band nonsense like Can't Stand the Heartache and Rattlesnake Shake. By the way, plenty of filler on the debut, too (Midnight/Tornado, Here I Am, Makin' A Mess). Slave had strength and attitude and kept the melodies in place. Songs like Psycho Love and Mu

I'm sure the Pearcy book will wind up being entertaining, but a few chapters in and it rivals the Mustaine book in terms of vapidness. I'll stick with it...I'm guessing he's got some great stories of the sunset strip in Ratt's heyday.

Anyone else pick these up? Just got mine from Amazon and started the Pearcy book immediately. A couple of chapters in and I'm already thinking I should've started the Lou book first.

My favorite track from my favortite TNT album. Great melody and so reminiscent of the late 80s.

Blizzard by a mile. He had the right songs, production, musicians. Lightning in a bottle on that one. Last great Ozzy album, to me, was No More Tears. Everything after was good to mediocre.

Another one: Black Sabbath Dio used to do some Ozzy songs back in the day on the BS tours. Paranoid, NIB, War Pigs, and others. I don't think we'd ever hear Ozzy doing Heaven & Hell or Children of the Sea. 2 reasons as pointed out by the Captain: 1. The singers are just too different. Vocal ability comes into play. 2. Ozzy doesn't need to do any Dio songs. But Dio always had t

The bonus tracks on CT, In Color, Heaven Tonight, and Dream Police are likely the ones from the 2006-2008 remasters. There's no indication of bonus tracks on Lap of Luxury or Busted that I can see, but they are newly remastered as part of this set (along with One on One, Standing on the Edge, and The Doctor).

Interesting. I'm not a fan of Piers, but he did a good job considering he had two stars to deal with together. By the way, that song Eddie plays on is dreadful. Sounds like that rap Mike Tyson does at the end of The Hangover 2.

The Black Keys are also a good (sort of) new band in the same blues-rock vein: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_426RiwST8

Going back to what inspired The Quireboys, try The Faces (with Rod Stewart). Pretty much the same sound, but with a better vocalist. Others: Dogs D'amour The Angels Georgia Satellites Burning Tree The Crybabys Govt Mule Allman Brothers Primal Scream Raging Slab Stevie Ray Vaughan Depends how far you want to go back. There's always Humble Pie and Cream for history's sake.

Agreed on all of those. One of the easier ones to get done would be Skid Row. Seems like they're always close and then something goes wrong (probably Bas).

Even The Score is a pretty close imitation of Under Lock & Key. Some might say it's an exact replica. Rhino Bucket's debut is a tribute to any Bon Scott-era AC/DC album, but mostly Highway To Hell (or pretty close to my ears).
