Accept confirmed for ProgPower USA

[sixxswine]

More excited than Scabratt which you were whoring earlier

You're so witty. I'll go on record and say that Ratt with Carlos Cavazo on guitar with their orginal singer will draw more people than the great Wolf Hoffman and Mark Tornillo... That's why Ratt is opening for the Scorpions on their North American leg and Accept is playing ONE show in North America to "an intimate 1100 capacity venue" as stated on the venue's website.
I don't recall people being this excited when David Reece was in the band so why now with singer #3?!

I liked Eat The Heat. Wish they were doing more shows

Don't get me wrong I did too, but it wasn't Accept. So they went from a guy that sounds NOTHING like UDO to a guy that wants to sound like UDO?! It's a little late in their career to do shit like that. I'd have more respect for them if they picked a singer that didn't sound like UDO because they've had to many singers.

Will you be there in Uden?

Just checked and maybe can take some hollidays than (normally night shift). Will let you know if I go there. Will you be seeing Détente in Eindhoven (May 2nd) ??

Don't know yet. I have never been very excited about Détente. However I will check you their myspace. Maye I will like them now more than I did in the 80s..

The Scorpions will probably only be playing small theaters. 2500 max. So, Ratt may get a few hundred bored Mrs. Mullets with their kids (mouse n' roll). While Mr. Mullet gets himself a beer and consoles himself with rocking like a hurricane later on. The guy at the Ratt merchandise table will be bored solid with only t-shirts bearing the following image as company:

Anyway, people are excited about Accept because they will release an old school metal album in the vein of Break, Restless, Balls & Metal Heart. U.D.O. has tried for over 20 years to recapture the magic and has only moderately succeeded.

Hey maybe Udo will pull a Marty Friedman & rejoin the band sometime before September..hehe!

I would not be surprised if he did. His own band is going nowhere fast.

 

[Jax]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Very true. I would say that making comments is premature until we know how they performed. Of course it can be fun to speculate but we have to be aware that we are speculating at this time.

I totally agree with Marco. Wolf made a huge mistake reforming Accept without Udo. This band is not Accept, period!

(I 'll probably attend their show if they come to my city, though)

Like Skid Row, White Lion and so many other bands, I must thoroughly disagree. People want to continue to hear this music. People want to see Wolf Hoffman play. If it means getting other people to play "somebody else's part" because the original guy won't, so be it.

You can't wait around forever for that one guy to get his shit together so you can play. Plus, some people just don't want to be around each other anymore. To paraphrase Rachel Bolan in a different context: "Without Bach, Skid Row exists. With Bach, Skid Row does not exist because we just can't be around each other. It just wouldn't last. So either you see the new 'skid row' and hear an imitation of the songs or not at all."

But you can´t deny it´s not the same. I´ve seen White Lion and buff ... I prefered when they were called Mike Tramp and friends. Skid Row with Solinger is another band that has nothing to do with Bach´s era. Besides, I´ve seen Bach solo project and I felt I missed a lot of things mainly because Seb´s fault.

My "problem" with Accept is that they tried it and they failed. Mark Tornillo (I love TT Quick) is more similar to Udo than David Reece and that could be OK for singing classic stuff but it´s difficult for me accepting that my european favourite band plays without a hero (I don´t mind if he´s Udo or Wolf)

Personally, I consider they have to use other names but if they come to my town (or near) I´ll be there. At the end of the day, it´s much worse 2 line ups like L.A. Guns or Barón Rojo.

Ahh I'm not expecting anything, I just thought it'd be funny if Udo did the same thing Marty did.

 

[labrekk]

Are you sure? From what I read, the latest 2 U.D.O. albums were his most successful or so...

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Marty's still in Japan. Dave Ellefson returned.

ROFL DOH! My mistake. *sheepish grin*

Accept did try it and failed because it wasn't Accept. Most people that don't like "Eat the Heat" dislike the disc because of a different musical direction and poor songwriting on the release as opposed to David's vocals. I thought Reece actually sang pretty well. However, other than Gen Clash, I thought most of the songs were shit. It was not Accept. It was four members of Accept and some other guy playing stuff that doesn't sound like Accept. The new accept will be four Accept guys and another guy playing Accept music.
The fact of the matter is that Accept wanted to reform, asked Udo and he declined so they got someone else. What else can they do ? Use harsh language ? Hold Udo at gunpoint ? Udo did not want to be in Accept, so they found someone else. I am looking forward to it and I think that Mark may sound great if the songwriting is there. I really don't think Mark will really even be the weak point of accept if his voice is still strong. Wolf and Peter's songwriting will play tyhe larger role in Accept's success or failure.

You forgot Guns 'N Roses...
If you're using those bands as comparisons I'd tune out immediately.
Skid Row is okay but still they haven't made people forget about Bach and White "Fucking" Lion?! Jesus! Even Van Halen who sold more records and hit new highs with Hagar didn't make the fans forget that Roth was in the band! Comparing Accept to those bands (Skid Row and White Lion) is like apples and oranges... I'm not happy about the new singer but I'm a little bit curious. I hope I don't have to buy the album and hope to get a review copy of it....
