Check this Guns N Roses cover out!! Guns_N_Roses How three people can play three separate songs at the same time is amazing! This is even better than the cover of The Final Countdown!! Paul

Absolutely love the band, love the song - but I'm not sold on the video. When the first lyrics popped up, I thought, 'Oh please, not all the way through' and they were! :o( I think they should release Story Of My Life as that could get them some serious attention - but no lyrics on the video this time please!!

I agree with 2112. I see nothing more than a pub band. I've got both albums, didn't really like the first one as I thought it was a bit bland when I heard the whole thing. I thought I'd get the new one with all the hype on here about how good it was - wish I hadn't now. I saw them live with FM, didn't like them. The songs didn't come alive and the band looked uncomfortable on stage. I'm glad p

Giant - Last Of The Runaways Bad Company - Holy Water Dan Reed Network - Slam All three remind me of summer nights, drinking beer and laughing a lot. Every time I play them, I'm transported back to the summers of 1989 and 1990. Paul

Just a couple of words about FM in Manchester the other night. On cracking form! Steve Overland! Well, insert your own superlatives and they will all be true, Unreal. A very Indiscreet heavy set list and the new tunes from Rockville sounded great live. How is it possible that they keep getting better and better? Have to be honest though, I didn't really enjoy It Bites. James May on the keyboar

I've been an FM nut since Indiscreet. After living with Rockville for a bit, I find I'm liking it much more than Metropolis. I think Metropolis was them finding their identity after getting Jim in, and it's not an album I return too all that much. Rockville, (I still hate that title with a passion though!), seems to be them hitting their stride. I think the songs are stronger and the choruses big

FM have used backing vocal tapes every time I have seen them, including last time I saw them on the Indiscreet 25 Live shows. But, a chorus of Steve overland's coming out of the speakers isn't a bad thing! One week until Rockville. Looking forward to that very much. Still hate the title though! Paul

It's just a shame that he sounds like he's breathing in when he sings! With a different singer, I could quite get in to Megadeth. I love their music, but that voice puts me right off! Paul

Surely a Frontiers tour would be the same backing band with different singers? ;o) Paul

I just read a Facebook post from Michael Sweet who said that they are going to do another album of their own songs and do ones from In God We Trust and Against The Law this time. Don't know that they can improve on Against The Law, but I would love to hear The Writing's On The Wall re-done. Paul

I absolutely love Stryper, have done since the 80's and regularly still have their cd's on. I heard these samples last night and I agree that Michael Sweet can still sing as good, if not better, than on the originals. But, two things struck me when I listened to the samples - (admittedly, only twice each). Firstly, for me, I thought that Robert Sweet overplayed in parts of them and made the mu

I'm with Andy C! I absolutely love both albums for different reasons! I was shocked when I first heard Blood From Stone as it was a lot heavier than Out Of The Silence, but I took it for what it as and really enjoyed it. Still do! I really do think Dare are missing Vinny! Paul

Anything by Threshold! Especially Critical Mass, Hypothetical, Subsurface and Dead Reckoning. The new one March of Progress is good too! Paul

I know who it is!! It's Def Leppard! Phil Collen has called Tommy in to play all the rhythm parts that Viv Cambell was due to play, (as he obviously doesn't want Viv playing anything), and then he's going to solo really fast all over them. Paul

My son was raised on a healthy diet of rock from the 70's to current day. All the while, I encouraged him to find his own likes. So, as well as rock he also loves dub step and some electro dance. Looking at his iPod, he has everything from FM, Winger, XYZ, Styx, Dream Theater, Threshold and Testament through to Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia! Paul

Forum: Noticeboard

Has anyone heard the two songs they've released off the new album? I must admit, to me they sound like rather generic metal. The riffs seem poor, almost amateurish and the lyrics are atrocious. The fan reaction has been overwhelmingly negative to both songs and their Facebook page makes uncomfortable reading for them. I believe the drummer even went on and put a heated post that was soon deleted.

Death Magnetic was a step back in the right direction after a long long time. But, some of the songs were un-necessarily over long and repetitive and the Rick Rubin production was awful. Get Fleming Rasmussen or Bob Rock back. Hell, even give Mutt Lange a go after working with Nickelback, but don't let Rick Rubin near it again! Looking forward to hearing what they're doing. Paul

Too many to pick from this year, Dream Theater, Steel Panther (twice), FM, Nickelback, Testament and Skin! Possibly Testament and Nickelback at the top though! Paul

Yeah, we thought that at Manchester. You couldn't hear the vocals, rhythm guitar, bass or keyboards because the lead guitar was too loud! Fuuny, as Skin had a fantastic sound where you could hear every instrument clearly! Paul

Yes, wasn't at all impressed with Knighthood, the first band. Apart from the bass player, they all looked bored and the drummer kept slipping out of time the whole set. Skin were amazing. As a long time fan, it was great to see them back together. It was obvious they were really enjoying themselves and the crowd were really in to it. A fantastic performance and a great sound mix.
