Modern country?? Not from the songs/samples that I heard. Sounded VERY modern edgy/bluesy to me and not in the best way. Not similar to her 'Believe' cd at all. I'll check into it again tho..sorta forgot about it as it didn't click with me when it came out.T

Welll... I GET the fact that if a cd has alot of tunes,and some are filler,then it's too long and should have beeen pared back to the better/best tracks. Lots of albums come under that description of course. But..when a cd is realy short and STILL has fillers,that's another story. Not saying the new QR has fillers (yet),but I DID hear 4-5 stronger cuts and at least 2-3 weak(er) tracks. All still

Very short cd. Maybe they rushed this to get it out there,too(?). Def needs 2-3 more tracks. But they may be along as bonus cuts--the way things are these days. INO--decent enough,but it sounds like it slows a bit in the midsection. Then again, I've always liked the more melodic sense of the band as appose to their adventurous side. T

That's a pretty cool read--thanks for posting the link. This is the kind of stuff I could read about for ages. So intersting to get behind the actual fabric of our most beloved music. VH1Classics has done a decent job of presenting some of the old stuff,but there is certainly room for so much more like that. bring it on, I say.. T
Forum: Noticeboard

Listened twice now and I like the track. Better than most anything I've heard from the band in quite awhile,in fact. Most def will be into checking out the entire cd upon release now. And I'm no huge QR fan..T

What I thought of the Burning Rain samples was that doug rewrote alot of his WS style in these tracks. I've heard a bit of the BR stuff awhile ago,and it never reminded me of WS. Maybe aldrich is just stuck in that mode now after working with Cov for this long. T

Well..I didn't exactly mean he 'stole' the songwriting credits. But Gramm apparently allowed him to take much more credit for certain songs. Which comes down to moola when it comes to rights to any given song and how much you get in royalties. T
Forum: Noticeboard

Wonder how that went down? maybe Lou thinking it wouldn't be wise of him to try it. Maybe Jones opening up old wounds and ticking him off again--or a little of both. In Lou's book he does get into the element of copyrights on some of their tunes where Mick seemingly 'stole' most of the credits. Too bad..seems Lou should have stood up to him over that but maybe just wanted to keep the peace back t

R.I.P. Ray. Very inovative player and one of the only musos in a rock format who also played the bass parts on keys. Influential cat! T

I knew of it's upcoming release but haven't investigated samples yet. Nor do I have any of his solo stuff. Think I've heard a somg or three along the way and it was pretty decent. Not sure I'f I'd be into it enough tho as it IS Country,after all. I'll try checking the sound clips and see how I feel about them. Likely I can score copies of his other 2 at the library system here,so... T

I was gonna say let's see some more y-tube vids of Tate looking cross-eyed/shaking his head at fan's reactions to his new cd,while his old bandmates release a much more solid effort true to the QR legacy. But this idea is much more funny... T
Forum: Noticeboard

Gotta admit that this IS more like what fans would want/expect from the band. Too bad they couldn't get there with Tate but they just grew in different directions,obviously. He/they handled that pretty badly but now they need to figure out what will happen with the name. Still can't get over how it's even legal to have two existing QR bands with new product about. How bizarre. THis Todd guy sound
Forum: Noticeboard

Well.. THe story goes that Lou & Mick have re-connected over this Music Writers Hall of Fame award that's coming up. So there IS some talk of them doing some sort of reunion tour because of it. Doubt it'd be very extensive tho--Lou just can't handle the rigors of the road anymore,and his voice likely can't either. T

Styx..Foreigner..Night Ranger...3 bands you do NOT ever want to miss in concert. Three of the very best live acts ever-hands down. T PS: would not have ever thought it about Foreigner--and I've seen 'em with Lou. But they've upped the ante to the max since Hanson has been on board (along with the other newer members). newer,rocked up arrangements of their old classics. Those guys are SO revit

Thanks loads,Carl---you guys rule! Listened twice already. What perhaps resonates so strongly for me personally is that, I used to see Billy play with Talas way back in the 70's around Buffalo,NY. My band at the time even opened for them twice around the time they toured with Van Halen. It was a real hoot and we went down quite well (they were superloud in those club days). anyway- this stuff is

First time thru the samples I was a bit worried. But i went to the site thru Andrew's frontpage link and they sounded better. No idea why that would be,but online feeds aren't always rthe be all end all of how a given release will sound-espescially on disc. Hoping this will sound crystal clear as it surely deserves it--great writing/singing!
Forum: Noticeboard

They def need some time off/away. BUt they never give it to themselves presumedly because Schon NEEDS to tour to pay all the exes. They've burned themselves out badly these past few years. Maybe with Schon's newest projects,they'll get enough time away to relight the spark a tad and want to record a follow up more like Revelations which is truer to their legacy in sound. We'll see... T

OMG-- Three tracks so far-Three GEMS! Dare I say this just could be album of the year if the rest is as great as these songs! Now THIS is the real deal right here. The kind of stuff you just can't ever tire of listening to! So much energy between these 3 guys. I haven't actually read it yet but this is most certainly one awesome 'super group' if there ever was one. Man I can not WAIT for this cd
Forum: Noticeboard

I've seen them over the years with each version/singer,and I must say the best shows were always with Perry (go figure-he had the voice and stage presence). Augeri was decent to good but not much of a fire onstage. Arnel breathed life back into them live but the band itself has NOT been all that engaged looking for years in concert. I've seen a good show here or there,but uninspired ones just as

Just reread Tommy's quote. My guess ? Still the Robin Beck cd. Sounds damn good by the samples. Best female fronted melrock cd in years (and I love the Orianthi-'Believe' disc). This RB reminds alot of Patty Smythe and Allanah Myles. Nice! T

Well..for me it's been the new Tom Keifer,and then a couple by Meatloaf that I just discovered recently--- Hang Cool Teddy Bear and Hell In A Handbasket. Both pretty different but I like them despite that fact. After that, I've been relistening to a few from 2-3 years back including Night Ranger, Foreigner, Whitesnake, Journey..and The Click Five are still getting some spins in there. Really dig
