The re-rceording og World Asylum with Mike's vocals still doesn't make that album a good listening experience....

To me I didn't care because I experienced Leatherwolf for the first time in my life with Wade Black live at the ProgPower VII pre-show. I love the sheer energy of that line-up and I bought all thier albums as soon as the show was over. Wade and Dean signed my booklet, so for me the original album is the one which counts and it's a pretty solid album IMO.

Absolutely !! I have a friend who is more into the extreme vocal style metal, but he absolutely loves "World Asylum." I was very upset when Wade left..... then all of the drinking problems with Geoff didn't help matters. Leatherwolf really had something going. I will give the new one a listen though..... who knows ?

Yeah that was bright, isn't it?
They should have just tried their hand at a new album rather than pulling a Jon Schaffer...

One of the biggest disappointings in the last year was losing Leatherwolf dates in Europe during 2007. I love "Street ready" and "Leatherwolf". Masterpieces IMO.
About the interview, too much personal questions and not many issues about Leatherwolf (it seems journalist knows quite well Olivieri and maybe he has done previous interviews with him).
About "World asylum" I recognize I got mixed feelings before listening the album. It´s somewhat personal but, for me, No Olivieri=No Leatherwolf, as simple as that. Nothing against Wade Black but curiously it happens something similar with Crimson Glory. No Midnight=No Crimson Glory.
However I consider "World asylum" (without blowing my mind) is far better than Crimson Glory´s "Astronomica".

Oh that is absolutely fair. When you really dig a band and they change line-ups on you........ it is tough. I even own compilations simply because it has Accept on it, but I don't own "Eat The Heat" because it doesn't have Udo on it. Accept is not Accept without Wolf, Peter, Udo, and Stephan. On the other hand, I was actually a pretty big fan of the original line-up of Metal Church, but the Howe era made the original line-up sound pretty Mickey Mouse in comparison. It all boils down to taste though. Music is an art, and everyone has different opinions.
