T-Ride, the never finished second album.

Yes, really good album.

Great album, always loved it. The whole album. Very Steely Dan'ish... (no, not danish) :P His only solo album, but he's been around playing with others, jazz & fushion etc. I still got this well played vinyl.

No. Very NO. As a long time Kiss fan (since '75) I'd say that VV never in KISS at all would've been nice. Sadly, that didn't happen. A pathetic creature.

Han Solo! :D I'd like another Paul Stanley solo album as good as his latest. (yes, I loved that one & his first, of course) and yes, Ricky Medlocke! One of my all time heroes, far too good to be hidden in the Skynyrd bunch. But I can see the logical solution, and the age makes ppl have to do such decisions. I respect that. I think ageing is the reason I can't see a lot of those m

First to enter my mind... Girl - Sheer Greed Japan - Adolescent Sex Magnum - On a Storytellers Night (and more Magnum and others by the amazing Rodney Matthews) Kiss - Alive! Van Halen - Van Halen + Several early Maiden ...and a lot more.

Just an amazing album. It sure is BIG. Love it, the story how it was made and all, and the not quite ordinary result. Far from it. And no guitar solos! Their couple of videos, good looking as they were, was a bit too hairy, 80's & posing, but the music was just however stunning. In my ears. Their unfinished demoes of their next album, sounded promising, but far from finished. Most p

Auto tune hell, for sure. A pop album, not meant for my old ears, sounding very 80's. I like REO Speedwagon and their pop stuff, but this... big disapointment. More like Christopher Cross or Leo Sayer (which I sort of liked, but he is what he is, never a rock person). Dropping the auto tune could've saved this, I'm not sure, I can't listen to this enough times to find out. Sorry to say.

Sounds good! I'm looking forward to this album, I really liked their "Waters Rising", "Sad Day On Planet Earth" and "Deep Red Shadows" albums. And earlier stuff, of course. Not very light weight party oriented music, and that's a good thing too. Leave that to others like Steel Panther. Some days really feels like a Sad Day On Planet Eart, I think... then

You're right, Dave, of course. :P I remember it wasn't easy to get information on all bands back in those days, but much easier now, with the web. Great music anyway! I guess I got a bit carried away there, making this list. I surely forgotten some (such as Zappacosta + Surrender). Wireless - one of my favourite bands, I've always seen them as a canadian band, and I read later that

Time Tells No Lies & Samurai are two PERFECT albums I just loved from the time of release, '81 & '82. Man, those were great years to buy good music! A BIG SALUTE to Rock Candy, again. Just GREAT news! Thanks, peteaor :D
Forum: Noticeboard

I've been obsessed, sort of, by the quality of canadian music through the years. Searched and collected a lot on vinyls, most of it sadly long gone. CDs happened, and I started to buy all over again, then mp3 saved me from ruin. I still often play the good ol' canadian hard rock - music perfectly suited for my ol' ears. :D April Wine Triumph Rush Saga Pat Travers Frank Marino Moxy Tea

What's illegal is... Illegal? Already. And there might be a suitable punishment that may be carried out formally under a system of the law? To stop/cut the ISP isn't a reasonable option, as most stuff to exist these modern days are done by the internet, such as work and bank operations, payments, travel ordering, etc. That's like taking away the roads when driving too fast, by second thought

Good question. Not an easy task, but here's my list (in no order): Kiss - Kiss The Wildhearts - Earth Vs. The Wildhearts Sixx AM - The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack Van Halen - Van Halen T-Ride - T-Ride Boston - Boston Toto - Toto Montrose - Montrose Rick Derringer - All American Boy Mr.Big (UK) - Sweet Silence And then it's the rest...

Awesome!! I saw this at the same tour, at The 4th Golden Summernight Festival 16. aug. 81, in Nürnberg. To witness a 'hungry' Foreigner at their tour of that years album, "4" (Release date: July 2, 1981) - was just a dream come through, and yet we didn't know how classic that album would turn out to be. Just AWESOME! The bands that day was: More, Iron Maiden, Blackfoot, 38 Spe

Maybe not a label to hit the big times, I agree. They had some great releases anyway :)) And then they pushed quite some old best of collections etc., that always looked cheap. Cashing in on their vaults, but as you said, not the place to get anywhere.

Ahh, the white 10" Girl vinyl was of course the great Russ Ballard song "Love is a Game". My head works slow, apparently. Love Is a Game

LOVED Girl, GREAT band! Bought their releases from the start, including some singles. Maybe they was ahead of their time, they sure had something special goin' on. A cool 'weirdness', an out of the box approach to their music. Which made them stand out from the start. In my ears, that is... I didn't like their Kiss cover much, though, but I was a huge Kiss fan back then. I guess no one coul

Fair enough, dude. I see your point. I loved "Metal-Rendez-Vous" when I bought it in 1980. Then they turned very AC-DC, and my high hopes for them was gone. Good enough band, I thought. But prefered the real thing. Which was STRONG that year with "Back In Black". :))) Both band have the same idols, I guess. Yes, live these guys are good & great fun. Beerfest.

C'mon guys, be kind. I mean rocknut. I know the Barbed Wire dudes, and they're a small hard workin' band that always deliver good rockin', raw enough boogie rock live. And the greatest guys. No pretenders, pure fun. You can hear what they like, hear the influences, and they're life long fans of good music too, of the bigger bands that rocks in the big way. There's no money involved in this. Th

wikipedia: "Warm Ride" was a song written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees during the 1977 Saturday Night Fever sessions in France and was recorded by Rare Earth, Graham Bonnet, and Andy Gibb.

THANKS again for more GREAT memories! Iron Maiden was awesome from the start, and their two albums with DiAnno couldn't be done better. My fave are the debut - not a second on it is a waste, just perfect. It helped to be around when thing started, I guess. I saw & met them and got their autographs when they played support to KISS at oct. 13. 1980, Drammenshallen, Norway. The memories a
