I loved the first three albums by them and recently bought the last one and the live cd.

I know Glenn rustles some feathers with his personality and Joe can be a bit off putting but I think they play some of the best hard rock out there these days.... I really hope they come to play my area one day, I'd love to see them live!

I'd love to hear some opinions and maybe love for them here.... thanks.

I'm with you on this one canuck, love them, great live, great in the studio. One thing I would change is producer, not a big fan of Kevin Shirley, although his reputation is grade A. Glenn is not everyones favourite, but I thing he is a great singer and front man who did indeed survive the 70's and came out the other end a better person for it. Each album has its own individual style, and its nice that Joe gets to sing at least one track per album.

they are great but really they are playing retro hard rock. they aren't moving the genre into new directions

Big Glenn fan, always pay attention to what he is doing. Its nice to see/hear a band still playing and making new hard rock music. Kind of a rare breed these days.

I think they're first three releases are pretty equally solid and enjoyable. Some real good songs hear and there.

The third when I first heard it I was not to interested in hearing it again. But I gave it a few more try's and it stands with the others and might be one of the better. Its been awhile since I heard it so maybe I should play it again to give a more updated opinion of it. 😉 😛

I have made a nice mix of the first three of about a dozen or so for the car , and that's a fun listen.

There will not be much live support for the last release. I think they only played a handful of shows in the UK to support it and that's it. Unless more planned for later on. If it was up to Glenn and the rest ,probably more touring, but I don't think that's what Joe wants and was they're undoing before in the past.


Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
