Burning Star - No Turning Back

[Greeno]

Man this disc is great! How did I miss it back in the day!!??? I think I remember hearing some other Burning Star albums that for the most part sucked, very poppy glammy (not that I don't like poppy glammy stuff, but it was just boring), but this one is straight up METAL! Great vocals and guitar. I need to check out more of Jack Star's releases.

Anyone here into Burning Star (or Jack Star)?

I read bad reviews about his solo albums after he left Viring Steele, but last year or maybe 2 years ago he released a new album which is not bad. Never heard Burning Star though....

I take it from the lack of posts to this thread that no one else here has heard this album. It's sooo good that I decided to post a couple tracks. It's been in my cd player for days now! Can't believe I never heard it until now, or that no one talks about it.

If you check them out let me know what you think. Is it just me or do they kick ass!!!

 

[Fangface]

Thanks Greeno, these songs kick ass indeed!
Reminds me of early Dio and Riot

*adds Burning Star on the search-for-list*

EDIT : I've just found that their great singer was in fact Mike Tirelli (now Holy Mother, Messiah's Kiss)

Glad you checked it out Fangface, it reminds me a bit of Dio also. I hope some others give it a listen, I'm in love with it!!

I didn't know that about the singer, very cool.

This website says it's their best album, I guess you're lucky

Greeno, don't hold me to it, but I think that Jack Starr's new band Gaurdian of the Flame features the bass player from Funny Money that I was telling you about.

That's cool, I remember you telling me about that. He should have taken Steve with him, because I would love to hear Whiteman and his lithssssp singing about dragons and swords and shit.
