Dusty used to say: 'If I'm late to the stage, be sure to give my guitar to Elwood.'

Die Beatles lassen einen einfach nicht los. Jetzt hat wieder ihr „A Hard Day's Night“ Jubiläum. Über den mysteriösen Anfangsakkord wurde viel gerätselt. 

Cooles Ding, seine Stimme ist immer noch großartig und die Mitmusiker (allen voran Neil Carter) können es auch. Feinster Hard Rock!

Regarding what a producer does, Collins said: "Most people don't know what a producer does. The producer is there in the studio to channel the creative energies, and focus the sometimes disparate talents that are around, into achieving a finished recording. And bring out the best in everybody and creating an atmosphere where people can be creative and free to perform to their best.

Manche Leute sagen, die Essenz guter Rockmusik sind fesche Gitarren und ein markanter Gesang. Dem schließe ich mich unumwunden an.
Auch 2024.

Länger nicht gehört und bereut, selbiges nicht getan zu haben.
Kabel, alles dran :-)

Wer nicht spätestens bei 'Rebels Of Earth' die Luftgitarre rockt, hat den Schuß nicht gehört.
Geiler Gesang, geile Gitarren - die 80er sind grandios lebendig.

Mit Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin - passt wie Bier in Kehle.
Starkes Album, war nach den letzten guten Ergüssen und eben nun Harry aber auch erwartbar :-)

EPITAPH feiern sich selbst durch alle Dekaden.
(Und sogar Stevie Wonder)
Ich liebe es.

Höre ich gerade, wie immer, im Anschluss an "Light Of Lies".
'Falling Lies' und 'The Eyes Of The Dawn' machen immer noch und wieder Gänsehaut.

Ich liebe die Scheibe seit ewig.
'Spirits' alleine löst alle Konflikte zwischen AOR, 70er-keyboardlastigem Hard Rock und aufstrebendem 90er Prog.

Asked how it was different playing with Tornillo after performing with Dirkschneider during the band's early years, Herman told All That Shreds: "Mark is a really nice guy and really promising. It's kind of a different voice and Mark really doubles Udo in his personal way. I prefer the style of Udo's singing. He is original ACCEPT. There is this voice sticking in your head. On the new songs, which Mark sings for the first time in ACCEPT, it's a different character, but it's very good. You can't compare them, really. They are a match for certain things, but they are quite different people. I do like them both. I couldn't have the decision which one I would prefer. It would have been great if they would put a couple of albums with Udo and Mark together. That would be awesome."

Schön gemacht, zur Zeit wohl eher schwierig zu spielen.

Starke Performance in der Vergangenheit, siehe Videos OM verlinkten Artikel.

Schöne Zusammenfassung, ich schließe mich den meisten Ausführungen an, sehe dabei WINGS OF STEEL als Highlight.

Erstes Durchhören: Solide, bestechend durch den Gesang von Todd Michael Hall.
Kein Schwulz, keine Chöre - auf die Plomme.

Ich muss sagen, da hatte ich mehr erhofft.

Learning to play the guitar is one thing, but learning to play with a big amplifier is a different thing altogether. It’s like trying to control an elephant.

This past January, TALISMAN released a new song called "Save Our Love" as a way of raising awareness of the mental health crisis. In announcing the track, TALISMAN issued a statement in which the group said: "On January 30, 2024, Marcel Jacob would have turned 60.

"We want to shed light on the problem of mental health issues. Too many people are leaving their loved ones and friends far too early.

"Marcel Jacob founded the band TALISMAN in 1989 after playing with John Norum, Yngwie Malmsteen and early EUROPE. TALISMAN had a major hit with the song 'I'll Be Waiting' and released several studio and live albums. Unfortunately, Marcel took his own life on July 21, 2009.

"The remaining members of TALISMAN, Jeff Scott Soto (vocals),and Pontus Norgren (guitars),have written the song 'Save Our Love' as a tribute and in memory of Marcel Jacob and the music they created together. TALISMAN's drummer, Jaime Borger, also plays on the song, and it features guest appearances by Mic Michaeli from EUROPE on keyboards, Johan Niemann (EVERGREY) on bass and BJ (SOTO) on backing vocals.
