Yeah this has been posted about only recently... I agree it is quite mellow certainly for a lead track, but that aside I reckon this is bordeline excellent no doubt getting hands on full album will hear it improve ;) I reckon too that Todd sounds great capturing just enough of old Tate while bringing his own voice also, very cool. The opening line where he lands on Again, 'So here we are A

LOL Jorn has been doing Dio fer most his last number of years anyways... But based on the longer samples A has put up and now iTunes, I like it! Reading yer post inspired me and jumped straight onto iTunes to purchase but still another weeks wait or thereabouts until release down here aaaaargh! Really like the upbeat material and The Man Who Would Be King quite likely the best of the bu

Good fer you Ken. I've no doubt the hardships Lou has encountered these past years and the after effects/damage cause from brain tumor surgery causing weight issues etc can't have been easy, in my books health comes first and for that reason alone the man's a winner, and has forever left his mark on the MR AOR genres, those were the good old days ;) Might bust out some Lou Gramm this aftern

^ What Figge said. But I do get both sides of the discussion in that I can also get an idea whether an album might offer more based on at least a minute length sample from MR or iTunes for example. And of course that can still go wrong, prime example VanHalen's Truth which I intended to ignore based on the samples but after encouragement from music mates and online communities such as you

Wilton answered this in a recent interview stating they 'needed' to have a release out sooner than later and while they had additional material being worked on they did not want to compromise with where the album went. Said they only realized the final product was so short when they received the masters. Take that or leave it but I dunno, as annoying as it may be, the last number of years the

Yep - Fanbloodytastic too. See, thing is this was never about Tate bashing and personally if he released something of quality I'd be the first to snap it up and applaud the guy, regardless of recent shenanigans (albeit a hard pill to swallow). But while liked American Soldier absolutely did NOT like Dedicated To Cabaret nor FU, THIS however, is how it should be done! Sure not every song i

Not quite as hard hitting as expected after the first single but the tunes are still cool regardless. Reckon this is a great debut and hope it does well and yeah agreed, she can indeed sing ;)

LOL entertaining thread :) It doesn't suck! For what it is it's not bad far worse out there but certainly doesn't stack up against her HITS era. But, aside from the overuse of keys and whatnot and it being lyrically yawn, it's okay. She still looks hot too at her age ;)
Forum: Noticeboard

I always thought lyrically aside from a few direct tunes from DeGarmo Promised Land was more Tate's work? Hmmmm...
Forum: Noticeboard

Nice post! And for the very reasons you prefer the debut I prefer Touch LOL... You mention two of my favorite Noiseworks tunes in Live And Die and It's Time, exactly the Noiseworks I loved (River Of Tears gets props too) if only they had continued as such instead releasing the fun but otherwise gimmick that was Hot Chilli Woman *sigh* That tradition did of course continue here and there with

Noiseworks Brent? Actually thought their Touch album far superior to the debut kinda went for a more Aus Rock vibe and was better for it IMO!? Was it their slight change in sound and away from the pop stylings of their debut? Just curious :)
Forum: Noticeboard

Promised Land was as much a Tate album as it may have been Chris'. Musically Chris sure but otherwise very much Tate's story and direction. Promised Land certainly disappointed initially and for a while too, it rested on the shelf for quite a time until finally one day it clicked. The beauty of it is even now it reveals more to like with fresh listens, the performances stories behind the son

Really Troy? Hmmm... One of the immediate draws to the original On Target fer me was the thick wall of sound production souded very cool bottom ended to my ears but perhaps that was because first listen was on a thundering bass heavy car stereo (still remember that exact late night LOL) so dunno, as far as remasters go thought too the recent reworking it got was quite cool. Love the album perha

Thanks Shadows, never hear Atomic Opera before and considering my love for Saigon Kick back then I'm surprised I've not heard of em sooner. Cool track and sound will check em out ;)

LOL yeah no denying LIVE Kelly didn't bring it the way those songs deserved but as far as his compositions went for Q2k, I found a lot to like for example OneLife RightSideofMyMind. Granted yet more a departure but so too was HITNF from the original line-up so... Slater didn't do too bad a job with American Soldier considering I mean some of those tracks were, while not the Queensryche many may

Ummm, while am completely on board with most this thread I gotta say I'm not quite of the same opinion regarding musicianship, it's all personal taste of course but actually think what Gray brought to the fold during the Q2k era and Slater and Gray regarding American Soldier (MCII hasn't much appeal these days particularly knowing now session musicians were involved) was pretty good considering w

The term 'Thinking man's metal' was a tag given to Queensryche as a collective, never just Tate alone!?

Yep 3 great songs right there Cap, that debut was fantastic and I'd be hard pressed to do a top10 News tunes LOL... I do however miss their rocking (to be true I have since HardAtPlay after which they seemed to drop the rock and went exclusively jazz R&B), but what's that, six albums of back catalog worth to go back to!? Still enjoy em ;)

I don't appreciate the hate either but ceratinly hate what became of this once great band and how their history has been tarnished! Disappointed yes... It's suggested the split came about due mostly to the loss of democracy ie; one man (with a little help from outside friends), does NOT make for good Queensryche! From what we've heard already IMO this majority Queensryche are proving this to

Trailer looks awesome, just hope they get it right! The reason why the Reeve movies worked so well, and continue to still work now, is that much like a good many of the great comic stories over the years, they primarily focused on the character and delivered people stories. Aside from the 'turning back time' finale which was rubbish, the original got it right in many ways thanks in no small p
