"Now here are the cabbages" ?!?!??!? WTH? :lol: :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:

Hadn't picked up on the "Men in Black" alien until Tank mentioned it.

Tank's a very astute & reasonable person who makes great points - his comments on their style & how rock fans don't have to be serious all the time (9:20-ish for about a minute) REALLY resonated with me and I agree 100%

Thanks for the link - I would have got notified over the weekend when I got round to signing on, but it's better to find out via here :wink:

I could happily listen to these guys over and over as the world burned - that's how "up" / cheerful they are (and NO - I'm NOT sharing the video the kids surreptitiously took of me dancing in my chair to this a week ago with my headphones on and the volume on 80!)

Will see what the rest of the album has in store for me a little later.
I am currently stuck at 9 tracks in, I keep replaying Watcher In The Sky and Twenties.

LOL - "Twenties" is probably my least fave track (excluding the horn-driven "Dominion") - but I still love it - LOVE "Watcher In The Sky" (possibly my fave along with "Spillways", "Darkness at the Heart of my Love" and "Griftwood").

Oh my - so much wonderful on this album . . . glad you seem to be enjoying it . . and DAMN have you got some great tracks ahead of you . . . "Darkness at the Heart of My Love" + "Griftwood" + "Bite of Passage" + "Respite on the Spitalfields".

"Respite" (a stunningly beautiful song) has one of the more obvious "borrowed" bits from 70's/80's rock history :arrow: the "duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh" from Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" (you'll know it when you hear it).

And the album exits as it starts.

Took a break from Ghost and listened to this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWm3X8GdP5Q

FFDP have had some emotional songs and videos in the past, but I think this one hits home the most.
That line in the middle of the song really hit me

New single thrown out there today.

100% agree with the sentiments from Lzzy, AND her lyrics, but the song didn't reach the heights they are capable of. It's OK, but nothing special . . .

Acoustic version uploaded today - and I LOVE this one (has a southern rock feel to it - which is never a bad thing!)

Not quite up to "Blackfoot" standards, but (just like Rickey Medlocke) - Lzzy proves again why she's so respected as a vocalist . . . chills almost as soon as she started singing.

I like it.
Not as much as the regular version, but it is good acoustic as well.

Halestorm's new album "Back From the Dead" is out today - and there is an official playlist up on Ye olde YouTube :arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbGTaOT ... G1vJj4Mf2O

It doesn't follow the order on the album, but that turned out to be a good thing because although I'm not a fan of the 1st 2 singles ("Back From the Dead" and "Wicked Ways"), I LOVE the 1st track on the playlist - "Terrible Things" . . . slow, seductive and moody - perfect for Lzzy's voice (but then, what isn't?) . . . Lzzy showing her softer side . . .

It's funny how many musical groups we both enjoy, and yet we prefer different songs by them.

I much prefer the middle-end of that play list

I feel I need say no more than quote my post from a few weeks back :)

      I'm shocked, shocked I tell you :shock: :)

      Listened a few times - it reminds me of some of the tracks on the "Vicious" album (which was easily their weakest album to date).

      This one gets filed in the "Halestorm's contribution to elevator music" folder. They can do so much better.

See, there is the difference.
I like the songs that let her unleash her snarl.
Like 'I Come First'

Which is why I rank songs like
I Am The Fire
I Miss The Misery
Scream
In their top 10

My goodness - there's some overlap :)

Lzzy's voice is always 100%, but she needs the music to back it up.

Seems like (well - we already knew) Lzzy has good taste in bands too :)

You can't complain when someone says they're "Obsessed with Impera" :lol: :arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXsUzBW7_-A

I was lucky enough to hear about this on the day of release (April 1st) but for some reason best known to students who study advancing senility, I had completely forgotten to post here.

No doubt (the observation, not the band) several of you have already heard of this, and maybe listened . . . but for those of you that haven't - be prepared to have your minds blown! :shock:

I loved Vai when he was with Dave Lee Roth, less so with Whitesnake (although his talent still showed there too), but wasn't impressed with his solo stuff.

But THIS (woooweeee!) . . . (especially the refrain that repeats, but FIRST hits at 1:42) . . .

The guys have been on tour in Europe for a couple of weeks now, and I've held back on posting links since the official (and not so official :wink: ) videos have been coming thick-and-fast.

But I figured THIS might be appreciated - even by those that haven't replied to the thread in a long time.

Electric Callboy getting GERMAN audiences (not exactly renowned for their enthusiasm) to PARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY :arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_8qCjEc__8&t=377s

The link starts you part way through and the audience fun continues to the 8:10 mark :D :D :D :hot: :jam: :jam: :jam:


MAN I LOVE this band and their vibe!

I haven't seen that video yet, but the others i have seen show that their shows are just one big hug party.

They've had those Germans rockin and cutting loose.

I hope we get some exclusive looks from Tank during the US tour.
