I don't know Al, the Dogs were always about RnR, and you can't deny that. Tyla and his cigarette burned Gretsch, pure RnR Blues and all that.

I agree with change but The Quireboys changed in a way I think fits with the old music. Can you imagine this group playing "Billy Two Rivers", "Hurricane", "Sometimes", "Drunk Like Me" or any of the old Doggy tunes that need to be played by a RnR outfit, and not a High School band? They just don't work, IMO. The Dogs were always a VERY image orientated band, and there is NO image here, aside from Tyla.
<font size="4" face="Arial">It's not even just that, it's the fact that the Dogs were MUCH more than just "Tyla and a few other herberts". They were a product of four distinct personalities. The "State We're In" stuff was very different to (i.e. not as good as) what came after. The Darrell Bath era was different to the Jo Dog era. I ask again - in what way is this "new Dogs" a legit Dogs line-up as opposed to another Tyla solo band?
