You can't type that - try "can't" :P Our friend Act's "mistakes" are due to the fact that he's Scandinavian (at least I seem to recall he is), and Scandi languages don't have verb conjugation like many other languages do. (don't know if that goes for all Scandinavian languages, but I'm certain it's the case for Norwegian). I've noticed it before, but it doesn't really both

Well, it's not going to be me, that's for sure. Totalling 428 right now *blush* Been off & on the board at irregular intervals - life intervening & all that.

Quotegaryt Love Up from the Ashes. John Norum and Billy White were a great guitar duo. I don't think Lynch was missed at all with those two around. Wish that band had stayed together for a second album. As for Norum himself...one of my favorites. His first four solo albums are highly recommended. This (though tweaked a little :P)! Rocket! Sven.

Love the Sleeze Beez! Insanity Beach is indeed a tad harder than their other albums, and I prefer it over the other ones for that. Live in Tokyo is great, too. It is indeed kinda Skid Row-y... Powertool was a bit of a let down due to the (forced) Leppardesque style, but still has a bunch of good tracks. SB&T is, if a bit uneven, a good album too. I seem to recall they made another album b

Like someone said, there's nuggets to be had from all his albums, but apart from the Constrictor to Hey Stoopid run, 2 albums that stick out above the rest for me are 'The Eyes of AC' and 'Welcome 2 my Nightmare', as these have a more consistent set of stronger songs (to these ears, anyway - I kinda consider those old skool AC with a contemporary sound :) Rocket!

Revenge & HitS are the Kiss albums I like best (as a whole). I like bits & pieces of the rest of their catalogue as well, but mostly only half (or less) of their other albums... Rocket! Sven.

I'm with you on the Flying - Extremist combo - awesome albums, that. Since then, I've been particularly fond of his 'Shockwave Supernova' album, and to a lesser extent Shapeshifting & Strange Beautiful music. I'd say those would be the ones to turn to if you like your instrumentals 'song-like', without too much widdling... Rocket! Sven.

Must've been the 2nd half of the 90s, because these albums were released in 94-95 & we didn't have the Euro yet - there was a small music shop in a shopping mall that mainly sold the charting pop stuff & hardly, if ever, had any rock-related albums, and they did a sale - must've been something like (the equivalent of) 5 euros per album, 4 if you bought 5, and 25 euros for 10 albums.

There's a lot of great covers out there, and then there's a lot of meh ones. And I'm happy to be able to fit this one in the first category. Although I'm usually not big on acoustic covers, this is really well done - while it doesn't burst open as does the original, it sets a great haunting mood indeed and in doing so delivers big time. Respect Dennis! Rocket! Sven.
