I have to agree...Bret Michaels has become a joke...in fact ever since his Rock of Love series...that is when his reputation has taken a serious downspiral into sadness. Not sure if Bret is attempting to gain back his rights to the music by re-re-re-recording the same damn Poison tunes and packaging them to oblivion or not. Though, Bret is killing the essence of what Poison was... the bands

Well 2 day shipping is always free on any item if you have the annual membership for Amazon Prime. Which works out well for my household because we order a variety of items from Amazon...everything from vitamins, books, cds & dvds, educational products for my classroom and for my daughters learning, etc. We use Amazon as our price comparision...and about 90% of the time Amazon is cheape

Thinking the same thing...... I already purchased their one live album awhile back with the 4 newer tracks (great live release by the way).....and then they just released another live here within the last couple of months.......NOW another one?!?!? Yea - sorry, not interested. Too many live releases within a 5 year period is a bit of overkill IMO.

Autograph - definately a missed band. Steve Plunkett has been quite busy over the years though, he still writes and records tunes in a number of genre's....rock, pop, country, etc. I have collection of about 100 differnt tunes that Plunkett has recorded since the last Autograph ablum ...most are tunes that were slated for a second studio solo album, some to demos for a follow Autograph album an

The Best Buy version and extra bonus track is a "live" version of Nativity in Black"....... so really not worth it IMO.

I preorded this album on Amazon a week or so ago and unfortunately it never listed what the bonus disc was ... Today I checked and found this listing in the description: Track Listing 'End Of The Beginning' (8:07) 'God Is Dead?'

Thanks for the review......was there any mention of what will be on the the second disc of the deluxe edition? I have been hearing rumors that they went in and recorded some classic Ozzy-era Sabbath tunes...ala a greatest hits disc.

The irony here is that DL is preparing a Deluxe 2-disc edition of "SLANG" slated for later on this year. Now, IMO why would they re-release this album instead of High N Dry is beyond me. In any case a remaster deluxe edition of High N Dry can contain the leftover track "Me & My Wine" and the remixed version of "Bringing on the Heartbreak" on disc one.......THE

Andrew - I know you have a lot on your plate here recently with news, reviews, MRF3, etc., but in the near future could you do a little research on what is going on with Steelheart and the new HUrricane? These bands were supposed to be releasing new albums late last year, and wondering if the projects are now dead, delayed, or still in progress? We haven't heard from these guys on MR.com

I agree as well.... It is a decent album, not great by any means either. I have spun it twice already and really it has not impressed me at all. It will be another Bon Jovi album that will fall to the wayside, and be easily forgotten by summer (for a majority of us). The problem I am seeing and hearing is a lot of fans want that return to the sound of 7800 F, SWW, NJ... it just isn't going to

I, like so many others on here can honestly say they were not around or way too young to "experience" Sabbath in their hey-day with Ozzy. When I first started listening to rock and metal around 81-82, I did not know who Sabbath was with Ozzy, Ozzy was Ozzy with Randy, and Sabbath was Dio later on. Sure I have Sabbath albums with Ozzy, doesn't really move me the way Dio did or Tony Ma

I agree that someone like Kotzen would be a solid fit - but with that other project in the works, I seriously doubt that would work. Though, IMO a nice fit would be Vito Bratta...i think if he would ever make a comeback, this would be a good way to get back into the game.

However, you would think with Tate putting together this so-called superband, and having some well known guest players/writers on the album - it would sound pretty damn good. I will have to agree that Todd-ryche will far exceed our expectations, especially after Tate-ryche's album is released...

A lot of you are correct, HAND and CRUSH were probably the last two solid rockin' Bon Jovi records...ever since they have been wandering into the mediocre of AOR/Commerical rock that would fall close to Springsteen and AIR SUPPLY. To be honest, I do not think Bon Jovi knows how to write and record a true guitar rock album. Both Richie and Jon said that this new album was more guitar rock orien

After listening to the samples provided on the site here...I am wondering if this release is a true "live" album or not? Because it sounds a lot like a re-recording studio album.

You know, it is hard to ascertain what the future lies with VH after these dates. There has been rumors that another albums worth of material was already recorded with Dave that could be released - nobody knows to be honest.

I see his point - however, I believe that Phil Collen was quoted saying that their motivation is always putting out new music, but just change how they do it. They are really interested in steering away from a full-length album these days... evermore so due to the fact they are mostly in control of all their newer copyrights. So, I can image that, as the band has mentioned prior, that they will p
