Live-metal.com did a tour review of Ace Frehley of ex-KISS
Comments were posted like:
He’s 56 years old, clean and sober, but he’s still Ace; in other words, he still seems like he has come here from another planet.
His rambling, which appeared to amuse him as much as the audience, helped create a relaxed atmosphere suitable to the intimate setting. The music, however, was no laughing matter. Frehley and his band—guitarist Derrek Hawkins, bassist Anthony Esposito and drummer Scot Coogan—cannot have been together long and while they weren’t flawless,

Are you into this Avenged Sevenfold album gratification?

Are you into this Avenged Sevenfold album gratification?
Fan says:
Ok it is obvious that you have absolutely no clue about Avenged Sevenfold. Instant gratification????? They have been touring and making albums for like seven years now. How is that instant gratification? Do you even know how many albums they have done? City of Evil wasn't their first and that's probably all you know. Now to say they are talentless. Are you insane? Listen to the lyrics of their songs, they are brilliant and unique. Something that you never hear these days with all the bull shit floating around. If you don't like them fine but to say they are talentless just makes you look stupid. I'd love to see you challenge any one of them at what they do. Then they can shove the damn microphone down your throat and make you eat your words. I am pretty damn positive that Avenged Sevenfold isn't interested in little girls being their fans. As a matter of fact I have heard them say they oppose it because the girls that are only there to have crushes on them won't understand what they are doing musicly. They are the best damn band I have seen since The Beatles. They are original and they do what they want. Their talent flows naturally and people who have half a brain know that. If I was you, I'd shut my damn mouth, go listen to their music before you criticize it. Don't blog if you don't know what the fuck your talking about. Ignorance is what people think of you!!

Steel Assassin disappears but come back with an awesome album with this great cd review from Clare

Steel Assassin disappears but come back with an awesome album with this great cd review from Clare
STEEL ASSASSIN
WAR OF THE EIGHT SAINTS
SENTINEL STEEL RECORDS
!!!!
This is one of those bands which kept disappearing through the years; they broke up in the 80s despite some modest successes with their demo tapes (even appearing on Metal Massacre 6 in 1984), reformed briefly in 1995 and were put on hold again until 2005. Despite the passing years, Steel Assassin have kept the 80s true/epic/heavy metal vibe alive and kicking. War of the Eight Saints is enjoyable, energetic, super tight and will make you air-play along. Catchy riffs, ripping solos, strong pulsing drums and bass, powerful vocals (courtesy of new recruit John Falzone)—all the ingredients are here for a solid heavy metal record. Standout tracks include “Curse of the Black Prince,” “Merchants of Force,” the anthemic instrumental “Victory” and epic, concluding title track. For whatever reason, it’s taken Steel Assassin 20 years to create this massive album, but hell—they did it.

The more positive cd review of the latest of Opeth with their Roundhouse Tapes album

The more positive cd review of the latest of Opeth with their Roundhouse Tapes album
OPETH
THE ROUNDHOUSE TAPES
PEACEVILLE RECORDS
!!!.5
People either seem to love Opeth or hate them; I fall into the more positive category, but I do have to be in the right mood for them. This two-disc live album, The Roundhouse Tapes, put me into that mood immediately. As is necessary with Opeth, a reigning atmosphere of bleakness is in order. Despite the infamous venue (The Roundhouse in London) being able to seat roughly 2,000 people (seated), this record has an intimate feel and does contain that weighty Opeth atmosphere. The band, unsurprisingly, sounds amazing, tight and full. A little too full for my tastes, as it sounds too clean for a live recording, in addition to which the audience sounds washed-out (maybe that’s why it sounds like a smaller venue than it really is). The nine songs here, totaling at approximately 90 minutes, are a pretty good selection from their repertoire—of course, with a band that has numerous records to their credit, and many songs that are very long, it’s impossible to come up with a setlist that will make everyone happy. There are plenty of songs I would have wanted to hear that don’t appear here of course, but then they did include some surprises (“Under the Weeping Moon”). Personal favourites include “Bleak,” “When,” “Blackwater Park” and “Windowpane.” Apparently there is also a DVD release of this concert (with lots of bonus stuff planned) slated for an early 2008 release, so if you’ve already worn out this album, keep an eye out for the DVD.
