Virg sounds great as usual but this project sounds really dated to me!
I've only seen Deen in clinic once...back in the mid-to-late 80s, where he absolutley ripped it a new one playg along to those rockin', manic MacAlpine [& perhaps Cacauphony, Wild Dogs?]trax... [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
Great meter - Beeyotch can nail da click in a phat rock groove, or while blistering those uptempo ones, too, yo. [img]wink.gif[/img]

@gluelegg: Yes you might be right...dated or.. classic, or vintage pop/rock ? la Toto, Extreme, Van Halen and many others. Music that I still enjoy, and to me has more meaning than todays "spot on 3:00 minutes" pop.
I think it's a most welcomed return for my part.
@Klemme: Good to see you the other day. See you tuesday at the Gary husband clinic!

Hey guys,
Got to admit, not a fan of this 80's stuff, but the fill Virgil does at only 5 seconds in to Highest ground is brilliant!!!
MP
Nice Dougie, I'm actually looking forward to hearing Virg on the cd, I have the original disc with Deen, it's good.........Jeff is such an awesome singer. His stuff with Takara was like old Rainbow, Neil is a huge Blackmore fan, found that out when i worked with them a few years ago.
You're right, Jeppe. Like everything else, cyclically, I'm tiring of the so-called "modern sound[s]" of all these "newer" bands. A lot of it is watered-down & "wussified"...I'm starting to feel a "hankering" for some of that "old school retro" again... [img]wink.gif[/img]
I said, some... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I guess I can understand why the kids listen to the contempo head-banging stuff. Because everything else is either so corporate, cheezy, or trying to paint a too-darn perfect flowery impression of the world at large...oh, jeeps, I'll stop right there b4 a philosophical rant comes on... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
BTW - I agree - I still think early-to-mid Halen [esp the 1st 6 albums] blows away 90% of anything ever done in pop or AOR-radio rock since...both in style, spontenaity, & big-phat in-yo-face-&-up-yer-axe raw-b*lls sound...NTM one of the very few rock bands who can actually swing a "hard rock" tune...

Living Color was bad-axe too for raw testosterone...despite the rushing live [which is half of what it was all about!] [img]wink.gif[/img]

Hey Randy whazzup [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Ya know, I'm such a Neal fan from way back, when Virg joined I was all "What??" But it kinda works...I have the Deen version too, but I think Virgil makes it sound a little less "classic rock" and more modern.
What would be interesting is for Neal & Donati to do some fusion together [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
@Randy: Yeah Scott Soto really has it going on for my part!
I think the band as a whole has a very strong voice!
BTW.. Virgils new book should be just a few days away or so.
