    NIGHTWISH - WHERE TO START??????

    You mentioned you have seen them. Which version did you see and like? That will help determine what to listen to with NW. Personally I never liked operatic vocals with my metal. Just too bizarre and grading. Not unlike fingernails on a chalk board. But that’s me. I recognize the talent of...

    ProgPower USA XXI postponed

    Don't listen to the Facebook asswipes. The overwhelming majority of us are with you and will support the festival. Through the years, you and I have had our differences about band selection but it was never personal. I'll be with you until the end.

    ANUBIS GATE: Covered In Colours

    Interesting version but not sure it does much for me. Of course, I am not a cover band fan unless the artist REALLY changes it and makes it their own.

    RIP Brian Howe (Bad Company)

    Liked both versions of Bad Company, for different reasons. The Brian Howe version fit the 80's and early 90's. Shame it didn't last, but I certainly understand his reasons for leaving. Same could be said for Tod Howarth and Frehley's Comet.

    GREEN CARNATION: Leaves Of Yesteryear

    Wow, I am impressed! Was this actually released on May 8th as planned or delayed by the pandemic?

    Poll: Best Redemption Album?

    I like em all but Art of Loss has some great songs and the best vocals. Can't wait to hear the new one. Redemption is just one of those bands that you know is going to provide new and wonderful music that is meaningful, even if dark.

    Sons Of Apollo - Portnoy, Sherinian, Bumblefoot, Sheenan and Soto

    Just saw them on the cruise. The first show was great but had a few rough patches as it was the first ever. The second Show on the pool deck was spot-on and kick ass. And yes you'll enjoy the extras they throw in. The how band is great but JSS is the man.

    Joel Gregoire's (of Stride) new band - Rev Skelton

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmK0dyKasHCnP4jbC9lcwKQ Sounds and looks like a cross between Alice In Chains (grunge) and Alice Cooper (with the comical creepy vibe). Pretty good band live.

    Poverty's No Crime - Spiral of Fear

    Wow, what a great progressive metal album! High time these guys got a shot at PP USA. After Dream Theater's disappointing fairy tail album of bland music written to please Petrucci's and Jordon's girls, this is the prog-metal album we need and want.

    New Def Lep

    I am reminded from time to time why I gave up on this band a long time ago. As new Def Lep songs go, its not a bad song, But also not very good and so freaking close to Queen, its embarrassing as a near rip-off. Enough with the Queen clones. I loved Queen back in the day, even these pop...
