Good to see Paul Taylor working. I always wonder why Tom Keifer has always looked like he just crawled out of a dumpster? No matter the venue, live, TV, videos, interviews, or promo shots always the same. I have interacted with him many times outside the industry and he is very well put together and super professional. He is a very smart dude.

Japanese fans are very loyal. If they like a band then they support them forever. They tend to like melodic music in general. US audiences tend to be more trend driven and masses of fans completely disown music they like when a new trend comes around. People love to accept revisionist history. So many of the grunge guys that destroyed melodic rock in the US were fans of melodic rock bands and

Depending on the arrangement of the song Jason or Keith is putting to note on top. In this case Keith, with Robert and Lou filling the bottom. Most likely some keyboards layered in for depth. I know Yes uses keyboards to add depth. Most people think they use tapes, but they don't.

In the case of Asia and Heaven's Egde at least the bands didn't have input in the covers. Blatant stuff.

They never found a label to release the record. The record is complete and mastered.

Difford also did very little singing in Squeeze, maybe one or two cuts a record. His phrasing is so unique. "Cool for Cats" and "Slap and Tickle" were his only hits. When Glen and him sing together is what makes Squeeze so special. "Take Me I'm Yours" is a signature song for them.

I wish he would play some dates in the US. He is quite a talent. He wrote "Love Will Keep Us Alive" for the Eagles. The funny thing with him, is that "Tempted" and "How Long" are the only songs he sang on the records in which they appear. He was only half the lead singer in Mike & the Mechanics. His solo work is great. If I had to pick a signature song of his

Patty does this with Glen on a radio show that was released on disc. They go into the writing of the song and how Glen tried to get Patty to lighten up the lyrics. Very funny. If I knew how to upload, I would put it up on YouTube.

Collective Soul - Home is by far the best rock band with orchestra performance. The orchestra's parts were created for the peformance and were unique to this setting. In most of the other settings I have heard the orchestra is just doubling other parts already created. That, to me, seems like a novelty. I want something new and creative. Yes' Magnification had no keyboardist. The orchestra

Sometimes labels can't get past the money invested in the recording when someone wants to release a product. It doesn't make any money on the shelf. There is one track on You Tube from the 2nd Darling Cruel record. Big Blue Parade. It sounds like an natural evolution from the 1st record. I have the Lana Lane. Good record. His latest solo record is called Coloured Life, which is the song L

Guns £ Roses did it on the Use Your Illusion tour. Metallica on the Black album tour. Garth Brooks almost always did it. Yes did it for Union. Journey on the Escape and Frontiers tours. Barry Manilow and Josh Groban did it within the last couple of years.

I saw Saigon Kick the last two nights. They were really good. Both shows were small clubs, but packed and everyone knew the songs. These guys were actually getting along and having fun. Jeff Scott Soto came up in LA to sing "My Life" from the debut which he sang on the record. Very memorable shows.

Billy is all of those things, but he is just going to fix the mix. I doubt that, besides minor drops, he will be recording anything new. Good thing is he can add or remove effects and filters off the original recording so the record could come out sounding quite different. Who knows. It still can't fix flawed material. I am trying to keep an open mind, but the history with Geoff hasn't bee

The money is not insignificant. It is a great deal of money or the artist wouldn't do it. You would be surprised how many songs you have heard in commercials and movies that have been rerecorded. Just for the initial use Dennis DeYoung was paid $150,000 for the rerecorded Mr. Roboto for a VW commercial. That was for a set amount of time. If they ran the commercial longer he would have been pa

Atma Anur is billed as a member of Journey. By Chas West's definition Kevin Chalfant could call himself a member of Journey. I guess since Steve Perry never felt like he was a member of the band, somebody should take that spot.

I'm going to see the Dan Reed Network perform on New Years Eve in Portland. This will be their first show in more than 20 years. My first opportunity to see them. Super excited.
