It's just some real good music folks...all the way thru. This and the new Pretty Maids get top billing from me so far this year.

Listening now....and liking it...alot. After looking at the track listing, I thought to myself "Not another song about "Babylon." Turns out it's already a fave...

Y'know I have "Hellraiser" and I "like" it for the most part, but when I wanna hear Krokus, I always go back and crank "Eat the Rich," "Headhunter," and "Night Wolf." Just some ripping songs!
Forum: Noticeboard

Guess I need to give this a listen... I "discovered" Krokus during the Headhunter album and loved that, and "The Blitz" as well. I bought some of the early stuff but was less enamored with it. I heard the new record harkens back to the old material. Is that a fair assessment, now that you've had time to digest the whole record?

Totally agree on the "Genesis" record. He does seem to "go for it" more on that. I think it was his voice that actually attracted me to Malmsteen back in the 80's too. (Though I didn't really know who he was at the time.) Jeff sounded great, but the production to my ears sounded a little flat. Given Andrew's latest Malmsteen review, I don't think I'll be checking out any Yngwi

He just sounds more loose and natural to me live...I think you nailed it with the "faithful to the original" part though on the material he covers.
Forum: Noticeboard

Does anyone else think that he has yet to be captured as he truly sounds? I saw Jeff live when he filled in for Steve Augeri/Journey on the fly in Bristow, VA years ago, and sought out his back catalog because of it. The dude was on fire! On recorded material though, (solo, and even the debut W.E.T. album,) something sounds missing to me. Thoughts? (Dunno, maybe it's just me.) The guy can sing f

Debut for sure. They were firing on all cylinders for that one! Glad I got to see them live that year as well.

Check out their cover of "Carry On Wayward Son" if you get the chance. Absolutely stellar.

Responses like this are always my favorite. It's like opening up a Christmas gift. Great riff as well. Classic, and instantly recognizable!
Forum: Noticeboard

Yeah, well I'm satisfied with the results and the level of participation for the most part! The hidden goal in this was to discover an awesome riff I never heard. Still looking I guess... The interesting thing about this though, was the number of times "Kiss of Death" & George Lynch were mentioned. I guess he's still my favorite guitarist for a reason. (Him and Paul Gilbert.) "

"Into the Now" represented a new high point for me, but I like the whole catalog. Just a great, solid, consistent band.
Forum: Noticeboard

Can everyone name their most favorite/memorable opening riff to a song or lead off track on an album? (Does't necessarily have to be guitar.) I know there are many, but I wanted to see what we could all come up with. Van Halen always enters my mind, but I'm trying to think of newer stuff... My fave is The opening riff to "Undertow" by Mr. Big off the "What if" album. Wha

I think I've seen Tesla live more than any other band. They opened for some of the best bands out there. Starting with Def Leppard in 1987 and now today as a fantastic headliner. I'm one of the few that think "Mechanical Resonance" was the best debut rock album back in that day. Yep, even over "Appetite for Destruction."

I like their other releases, but something about the singer leaves me cold, like their other releases. I'd buy it for Aldrich though.

in Europe etc...where it was released last week, but I just got the new Pretty Maids "MOTHERLAND" here in the US and HOLY S, this is GREAT RECORD!!!! Everyone on this site needs this record in their collection. Seriously. Most prolific and underrated band on the planet, bar none. There, I said it. Thanks for listening. (A US PM fan since 1987.)

Ironically I can remember the running order of at least 12 of the songs without a printed set list on-stage, and I'm not even a member of the band!

I was always curious about this...I don't know much about recording/producing/editing, so I was wondering, how is this done? With enuff studio trickery could I sound like Coverdale?

Surprised to see Jake E Lee coming up as a replacement so much in the comments. Since Jake is now working on new material, I doubt this would happen, but it would certainly make me stand up and take notice. Do artists ever get contacted when there is a wave of opinion that they should join such and such a band? I always thought Jake would benefit joining a "supergroup." (Kinda like Chi
