A fantastic talent, only time I saw him live was playing guitar for French synth-pop-electo-types Air a few years back. Author Unknown is an essential album!

I seem to remember liking 2 Tribes at the time, think they supported Extreme in Liverpool in 1991 and were pretty good live. What Do They Want From Us was a cracking tune.

Roxy Blue - Todd Poole went on to be a founding member of Saliva and played drums on their debut if my booze addled brain remembers correctly. A few others that come to mind... Big House - one independently released EP then a fantastic full album and then nothing. Johnny Crash - Great debut, then their second got a very, very limited indie release a few years back (does that count in this

Totally agree with Frazzle-Batt, just be happy that music like this is getting out to a new audience. How many movies have every song that's on the soundtrack album actually in the movie? Not all that's for sure. Good to see a band like AC/DC still pulling in the punters and getting the airplay that they deserve.

Sad news indeed..... American singer and guitarist Alex Chilton, known for his influential work with the Box Tops and Big Star bands, has died aged 59. Family friend John Fry said Chilton died on Wednesday at a hospital in New Orleans after experiencing what appeared to be heart problems. Mr Fry, the owner of Memphis-based Ardent Studios, said the death "was just a sudden and unexpected e

Great live band with two very good albums under their belt. Hope they do record a new album and i'd be happy with a style like either of their first two albums. Cheers for the heads up Chris!

It's also rumoured that they'll be playing the whole of Back In Black for the 30th anniversary. There's a quote from Andy Copping (Download organiser) on Blabbermouth about it.

There was advance notice of the Key Club closing it's doors, I read an article regarding Steel Panther moving to The Roxy for last weeks show because The Key Club was closing before it happened, although it may have been short notice, it was known about though. The lease was up for renewal and they decided it wasn't worth renewing as audiences had declined so much in recent times. Shame really, i

This is the only UK festival appearance for all the bands announced so far for 2010, however for Motley Crue and Iron Maiden it's their only UK appearance at all of 2010.

Yes, that same John Baxter. The difference being I didn't instantly write them off for using the name Queen. I still bought the album, went to the tour and didn't threaten to boycott their label for putting out the album under the name Queen. I went in with an open mind and was very happy I did. That's the bit that I don't get the most, the melodic rock scene is small enough as it is and yet some

I'm not a fan of Giant, never was and not keen on the new stuff either BUT you all need to get over yourselves.

Thought the album was pretty good and Bumpin' was a great tune, all of which was ruined by seeing them live. Put simply they were by far the worst band i've seen live in many a year! Absolutely awful with no effort put in, terrible playing and vocals that made me wince throughout. Can't listen to the album now, the gig has put me right off ever hearing them again. Shame as I was really looking fo

I saw them in October and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Shouldn't be using the Queen name but they were still extremely good.

It's a fantastic album, raw as f**k sound-wise but that's exactly what they were going for and it works very well. Don't go expecting the lyrical content of Space Age Playboys era stuff though, it's right back to the angry-hate-the government type stuff again. Stunning return from one of the best bands ever to record an album imo.

Whether people or even the band themselves consider it to be their debut album or not...the fact remains that it is. As I said in my other post, it is a piss poor album but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Forum: Noticeboard

Got this but not listened to it yet, just to point out to all that keep mentioning that it's better than their debut......you do realise that Extreme Behaviour was their SECOND album right? There was another (piss poor) album prior to that called "Far From Close". I liked Extreme Behaviour but the first one was just shit.

"Due to the short timeframe of this event and the huge number of fans expected, the band will only be signing copies of its new album, "Lightning Strikes Again", which was released on May 13 via Rhino Records." The huge number of fans expected? Oh dear.....it's gonna be a tad disappointing for Mr Dokken I think! Anybody else have visions of Spinal Tap with this signing?!?!?
