Simply comparing songs, I don't think the Todd-Ryche songs I've heard are necessarily any better than the Tate-Ryche songs...it's just that Todd-Ryche is trying harder to sound like Queensryche than Tate is.

I don't think that's live...I think they're miming to a playback to film a video. A- Todd tells everyone to scream and act excited even though they don't know the song and... B - there is a rhythm guitar underneath a two-part guitar harmony at the beginning (3 guitars) when there are only 2 guitarists on stage

It's OK. It certainly sounds more like what people, I think, want Queensryche to be...but it's not blowing me away.

What's funny was both he AND Gary say the same thing..."Eddie said I was in then I saw them w/ DLR on TV"...somebody was getting lied to.

Q2K is better...but there are a handful of decent/good songs on FU...just not enough to warrant repeated listens from me...sad, as I L.O.V.E. everything up to and including Promised Land...

I like VH3...saw them on that tour too and they rocked it! As was stated earlier, it's not a perfect album but there are some very enjoyable songs on it.

The local used shop already has 2 used copies of FU in stock...but they're both $9...I'll end up getting it eventually, but I'm not paying any more than $5 for it...

I agree 150%!!!!!

Walsh has been doing FFWF and PTGT as far back as 1996...I've seen him do it twice live myself.

I actually recall Rob saying he'd gladly perform Owens-era songs as they are part of the history of Judas Priest and he honors that history...then he never did it. LOL!

Years ago, aspiring guitarists would bring their guitars for him to sign...being the 80s, early 90s, they'd bring Jackson, Charvel, Ibanez, etc....he'd always sign "Play Fender, Yngwie". LOL!

The one time I saw him, he did not come out to meet people...instead, he stood at the door of his bus, thanked everyone as a group for coming, then said he was sick and if we wanted anything signed, we had to give it to his manager who would take it in the bus for him to sign (it was cold out).

"Would ya like something thick?"

Half good/decent (mostly second half)...the re-records are terrible and the front half (except for "Cold") is shit, IMO.

Not going to make the songs any better...

I didn't follow the Iron Man comics...so if there's a precedent, I'll allow it. ;-)

I'm a little nervous about it. When I saw the trailer on TV and Pepper was in the suit, I was like "Really?!"
Forum: Noticeboard

Yeah, his albums are really strong Power Pop...
Forum: Noticeboard

Great record...
Forum: Noticeboard

A different mix is not going to help or hurt any of the songs I heard off the album.
Forum: Noticeboard

This is so ridiculous.

>> Really has nothing to do with what made them, but hey, if they like playing this stuff...<< Every album since 'Crush'...

That is badass...it could be a Mr. Big song, IMO. That chorus rules...

Funny as hell...

I love watching that show...Steve sounds so good, even if not peak. He interprets the songs within his range quite well, IMO.
Forum: Noticeboard

I think Never Too Late is really strong...
Forum: Noticeboard

OK, I've heard the whole thing. Here's the initial verdict... DECENT TO GOOD: Cold In The Hands of God Life Without You Everything Fallen (good verses, weak chorus) The Weight Of The Workd SUCK: Dare Give It To You Slave Running Backwards Re-Records I don't know what it is about front-loading the albums with the worst songs while putting good ones at the end, but GT is becomin
