Got my tickets for this one. I first saw him solo acoustic at the Barfly in his first UK show where he played a lot of the old stuff and some covers etc and it was to this day one of my favourite shows. I have seen him and his band a couple of times since then (once more in London and then at the Night and Day show) - great again but bot quite as good as that first show he did. Either way i

Excellent band - not eveyone's cup of tea but I like there music and their drive. Great singer too.

Excellent news. I really like the album more each time I listen to it.

Personally I have liked nearly all Sabbath albums and singers that went with it all for different reasons. Ozzy Sabbath is the original - not saying the best but agree with others that without Ozzy Sabbath may not have been the iconic band they are. Ronnie version is probably my most listened too version of the band but I also started to listen to Sabbath then as this was when I got into metal.

I am sure Manowar could help you out with a few tunes! Fighting The World, Courage, Defender, Hail to England......too many to mention but appropraite if you like them that is!

I liked Saxon before this one but this was more my thing (as Crusader and Power were starting to get more commercial too). I liked the production and Biff sounded better on this than most other albums. Rock The Nations I think was too raw for me though had some good songs. I liked Destiny and still listen to it - I liked the introduction of a new drummer (I think he used electric drums for some

Love the Pull album - there best. Down Incognito was played to death in my flat and bot di my flat mates hate me for it...though they never knew it was Winger and a more metalheaded flatmate said...'the bass is pretty cool, for you that is a pretty good tune" (I was more melodic rock and metal - they were metal and thrash).......when he found out it was winger he was 'enjoying' he did change

I like this one a lot but agree that there is some filler. Under My Skin is her best by a distance and Butch Walker helps out a bit too. Best Damn Thing is a good album too but agree again that there is some filler too. I quite like her new single.

Eye to Eye is one of my least favourite CDs by them but it does still have some good moments as well. I have just been listening to them (a self made greatest hits type thing) and they are still brilliant. Bad Boys Running Wild starts off the cd and it still makes the hairs on my arms stand up when played loud. Lovedrive through to Love at First Sting was I guess my era and I went through sev

Great tune....good words!

Ultravox always had a rock element to their songs....try their greatest hits. Tears for Fears if you haven't got that - try Songs from the Big Chair...or any of the first few a-ha cds - I still really like the first one they did and also a couple of the more recent ones...Minor Earth, Major Sky is, to these ears anyway, a good pop/rock album. If you like production then Welcome to the Pleas

Love it but you have ot get the deluxe version for the Butch/Sinclair tracks. On the first few listens there were a few tracks I was not sure on incuding the Eminem one and Slut...but even these have grown on me a bit. Agree with the sentiments that Butch and Jake need to do more stuff with her - I think she would like to do it but I get the feeling that the record company are not so sure as

For me it would be: Scorpions - Still Loving You Or something from Steelheart maybe.

Sounds like a great set list and I just wish I was there. Hopefully a bootleg recording will show up as woudl have loved to be there. Saying that Maiden were great last night in Glasgow!!

Fairly new to making comments but I have to say that like many here I have favourites in all of the CDs. The first will always (for me) be th best and the one that hits almost every spot. I really like the production but then I was, at the time, going through a Beau Hill 'period' due to my love of all things Winger. For me Unruly Child has always been about the combination of the three main pe

Wow, wish they would play him at half time in the Scottish Premier League! Better still he coudl tour over here more too! Good to hear him getting played. All of his stuff is great, can't ever see too much wrong with his CD output! Scott

What a great show in Manchester and met some fine people too which is always the case at a Butch show! I realy like what ever he does to be honest but like most woudl prefer the inclusion of even just one or two older tunes which I guess is why the Barfly show will always be the stand out show for me (London like maybe five years ago...it was Letters era and he was doing strings for Rise and Fal

I ordered the CD from the states...scary postage but the last couple of CDs have taken a couple of months to get over here at a resonable cost so no way I am gonna wait that long for it! Butch is one artist where I don't hang about...always buy the cd asap!
Forum: Noticeboard

Agreed. Great band with a huge legacy. It is a shame but I respect the move they are getting on a bit.
Forum: Noticeboard

I think from what I have seen he gets through but pulls out for some reason that is most likely to be related to having a management contract or being very close to the age restriction (28)...either way 7th Heaven have said he has is no longer doing Idol and is working on the current live dates with the band. Hope that was not much of a spoiler but was really up for this until I found out that h

Butch seems a popular topic on here at the moment which is all good. I sort of agree with you all here. Hey Album is quite different to RSG in terms of style and does have a lot of classics in their. The indie version of the Hey Album is even more different and less polished if you have ever heard that. The demos for RSG are more like Hey Album but then once it got produced it did really chan

I will disagree here and say that it is 'good'. Not his best but still 'good'. Not really a true Butch Walker CD for me in that for the first time he didn't write the music all himself. For me it sounds more like a movie soundtrack in terms of style but some very good songs on there. Probably my least listened too Butch CD but still a very good listen. I have ordered the CD from the webist

Always been a fan from the very early days. Grew up to his music and still listen to it a fair bit. I would suggest getting hold of a copy of Vive Le Rock as this is a excellent CD and producde by Tony Visconti. I have a butchered version with a few b-sides and out takes which makes it even more of a rock record. Can't Set Rules was I think his first ever 'ballad' and it a very nice tune with

I have to say that I like what he is trying to do. I followed his perfomances on ITV2 here in the UK and both my wife and I supported him all the way through....for that program he was the best singer and best talent....by miles. I think whatever he does he will do well as he has the voice to do what he wants and do it well. He is very camp and that doesn't bother me as long as you are enterta

I definately plan to got to see these guys if they come to Scotland. Really liking the new CD (not the digi packaging though!) and they seem to be doing pretty good live too. Paul does seem to be struggling a bit in the higher register froma couple fo clips I have seen. Still it is Kiss and they can't have many tours left where they might come to the UK.

Love this song and looking froward to a a more 'rock' cd coming from Butch. Excellent show last month as well...the man is a legend (IMHO)!

I am really enjoying this CD. Some great stuff on here and looking forward to hearing it 'electric' in London in August as the songs came over really well acoustic in January. In my blinkered view, Butch can do little wrong as I really rate him as a writer and producer...some of his stuff is better than others but each CD has some real gems and I guess that is what is important. I like his voc

I am a big fan of Butch and wanted to give my opinion (and that's all it is). My preference will always be for LOSC or RSG style Butch as these are two of my favourite CDs of all time (nudges shoulders with more metal stuff from Maiden/Scorpions as well as melodic stuff by Winger/Unruly Child/House of Lords etc). Taste is a fickle thing, but I like what I like and that's it. Personally I think

Butch rocks...no doubt. I am going to see him play at his London show and can't wait. Really like the new CD too...live the first five songs will go over great as they are upbeat and very sing along (as are most of his songs). This CD is a bit of a departure for him...still it is a better cD than Letters (which is still great) but for my taste isn't up there with Left of self-centered...that C
