<title>Talisman // Human Clay // Humanimal (3 replies)</title><link>https://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1382701,1382701#msg-1382701</link><description><![CDATA[ OK, so...I'm a fan. Full stop.<br /><br />The obvious common thread here is JSS and Marcel. They are integral to all of these projects.<br /><br />My question to you all is this:<br /><br />What elements of style/sound separates these three entities?<br /><br />IMO, they all have massive musicianship, amazing vocal performances, and stellar melodies.<br /><br />For some reason, these were all separate entities as opposed to all being called Talisman.<br /><br />I can see how the Humanimal project being maybe a little more funky? Maybe?<br /><br />So, I'm asking...to your ears, what separates these three entities?<br /><br />I'm hoping Jeff chimes in, as well. Cheers, dude!]]></description>

<title>&quot;Do You Have Any Interest In Making This Kind Of Music Again?&quot; (14 replies)</title><link>https://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1382661,1382661#msg-1382661</link><description><![CDATA[ Greetings,<br /><br />I often see people on here complain about latter day material from a band or artist where there may be one or two rockers and then it falls off a cliff into sleep inducing soft rock, pop rock or ballads. Be it Bryan Adams Def Leppard, Bon Jovi or others.<br /><br />The thing I don't understand is why doesn't anyone ever ask these bands/artists in interviews - do you think you will ever make a front to back rock/hard rock album again?<br /><br />Well to be honest, I do understand - music journalism is dead. Now everyone just gives blowjobs, so they don't want to potentially offend the band/artist and never be allowed to interview them again, but there are completely respectful and not remotely offensive ways to phrase the question just to see what their response would be. You can even phrase it as this and put the blame on the record label: has the record label ever pushed you into making a full on rock record again?<br /><br />It would even be interesting just to hear them say ya, rock/hard rock isn't for me anymore - that way fans won't be disappointed when they are hoping the new album is some sort of musical comeback, but it is more of the same lame stuff they are doing recently.<br /><br />Of course you hope the person isn't an asshole like Butch Walker with his Ask Me Anything. At the 7 minute mark a fan asks him if he ever feels like making a good old fashioned rock record like the stuff that inspired him. Totally fair and completely respectful question, but Walker responds like a fucking douchebag.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkRkVfJoQxc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkRkVfJoQxc</a><br /><br />While Walker seems more open these days to talk about Southgang with Rick Beato types, he really went through a phase there where he was completely embarrassed to be associated with hair metal and would barely acknowledge Southgang even existing.<br /><br />So what do you think? Is it really crossing some sort of line to ask a band or artist if they would ever want to do something rocking again in a completely respectful way - not in some &quot;I think your new album sucks&quot; way?]]></description>

I got introduced to the band by way of the BBC series &quot;Robin Of Sherwood&quot; which ran from 1984-1986. I still have the soundtrack cd. She is the sister of the singer Enya.

I’ve got one store holding the new Collective Soul LP for me (apparently very much influenced by The Cars so if that’s true, I am going to LOVE it), and then I’ll be going to another store (opposite direction, of course) to see if I can snag the Stalk-Forrest Group (before they were BOC) release. I hope to meet Billy Squier there, during his meet and greet, too.<br /><br />Other albums I’d be interested in would be The Cars’ Heartbeat City tour album, and Foreigner’s live album from 1981-82, but as I am generally not a vinyl guy, I’ll be getting those items in their respective box sets, for less money.]]></description>

My God, I do not know why this band has never received any attention at all in the states. Their first 3 albums with original front man Francis Dunnery are all massive high tech AOR albums that have been compared with yes's &quot;90125&quot;. Everyone on this board should appreciate this stuff. I follow Francis's current YouTube channel, and he seems to be a great guy to go out with and have a drink with. A massive personality. lol. I do know of Kino and the It Bites version that features John Mitchell who replaced Francis. All of that materiel is top notch. This 2nd album of theirs is a front to back classic. I hope somewhere tonight that some1 on this board checks this out and is amazed. &quot;Yellow Christian&quot; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL-u_QxjA64&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL-u_QxjA64&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=3</a> &quot;Black December&quot; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b-641fKvz4&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b-641fKvz4&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=5</a> &quot;Plastic Dreamer&quot; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcAkpfywECc&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcAkpfywECc&amp;list=OLAK5uy_lTlw6OMpzeIQf86IfcOSGE9Nd3SLaNifk&amp;index=8</a>]]></description>

You are completely wrong!<br />He's so much worse than that what a piece of shit this guy is I watched him start fights. I watched him be a douche bag, and I simply said hello to him, and he almost kicked the shit out of me. He was such a nasty piece of shit he's a fucking washed up drunk he embarrassed his family. I felt bad for his kids and his wife who watched their father and husband make a complete douche bag of himself at the VIP party and I've lost all respect for him and Sebastian-If you're reading this- fuck you! you don't deserve what you got you don't appreciate what you got and I respected you right up until I met you.<br />Ted Poley here brother come find me if you think you're tough.<br />I have told literally hundreds of people that they must be wrong. Maybe they caught you at a bad moment, but now I understand and I am ashamed for having defended you.<br />You ruined twisted sister, and you embarrassed your family and your peers. FU AHole.<br />I wouldn't treat my enemies the way I saw you treat a room full of people more talented than you. Anybody who takes issue with my statements, unfriend me because I am supporting the people who told me the truth and I didn't believe him.<br />No longer a fan and zero respect.<br />Literally an immature, crybaby monster.<br />There you go love it or hate it if you don't wanna hear it, unfriend me, I have thousands of people waiting to take your placeand then enjoy your experience with the biggest asshole I've ever met although I didn't really meet him. I said hello and he almost went off on me, I wish he would've. He was drunk. I would've kicked the fuck out of him.<br />And he was fighting with my buddy Stevie Rachelle, who would've had my back and we both would've stomped him right there in front of his family.<br />What a POS<br />????????]]></description>

<title>O/T? Zodiac Mindwarp (4 replies)</title><link>https://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1382597,1382597#msg-1382597</link><description><![CDATA[ I don't know if many people remember Mark (Zodiac Mindwarp) Manning. I heard some very sad news, Mark/Zodiac has suffered catastrophic brain injuries from repeated seizures, that have left him almost entirely incapacitated. He can remember being Zodiac etc, however he is constantly unaware of his present predicament, literally forgetting everything in his present life every ten minutes. He currently resides in Devon with his ex-partner &amp; her new husband, as he simply cannot care for himself in any meaningful way. A further tragedy is his ex is now suffering from cancer, but can't tell Mark/Zodiac as he simply cannot take such news in. Whatever you think of Mark/Zodiac and his career - i cannot conceive of a more unkind brain injury. Knowing of his legendary escapades with drugs and alcohol, i guess you have to ask if the two are connected. Regardless, I've always had a big soft spot for 'The High Priest Of Love' - i'm currently re-reading his hilarious &quot;Fucked By Rock&quot; book - which is still uproariously funny :)]]></description>

<title>What Long Term Band/Artist Do You Hope Releases One More Album? (55 replies)</title><link>https://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,1382476,1382476#msg-1382476</link><description><![CDATA[ Greetings,<br /><br />What long term band/artist who hasn't released an album in a while or just released a new album with the thinking that it will probably be their last - do you hope put out one more album?<br /><br />For me it would be David Coverdale. Yes I know about his voice and that he retired, but prior to that he spoke about wanting to do a solo album - more blues based which probably would have been more suitable for his voice.<br /><br />I don't need another Whitesnake album as I feel the band members he had weren't bringing out the best in him with Flesh And Blood and he can't wail anymore, but something more like Into The Light, Restless Heart and Coverdale/Page? Yes please.<br /><br />It's not going to happen, but I can't think of anyone else - pretty much everyone I like is still active and will probably do another album or two in the next couple of years or so like Richie Kotzen either a solo album or another Winery Dogs, etc.<br /><br />I would have said The Black Crowes, but their two newer albums just are not the same as the previous era of the Crowes with actual band members like Steve Gorman, etc. and not session guys.<br /><br />How about you?]]></description>

Very good, I’d say 300+ people there. First time seeing Warrior Soul too, and Collateral were an excellent opener. But during songs and Danny’s stage banter, some guy was talking louder than the singer about his fence and garden… honestly, why.<br /><br />Also, tall people… why do you always stand right in front of me.]]></description>
