Rick Altzi new lead singer of Thunderstone

Rick Altzi will be a great addition as vocalist for Thunderstone, I can't wait to hear some new stuff.
 
Rick Altzi only sings on At Vance "VII." He does a good job replacing Mats Levén, but his voice is a bit less powerful than Mats'. He should do fine in Thunderstone.
 
Rick Altzi is pretty generic and uninteresting, but one of the great things about him is that he can fit in anywhere adequately.

Does this mean At Vance has to find yet ANOTHER singer?
 
Let's hope so - considering how extremely horrible Altzi is, and how he completely ruined the last At Vance disc, it can only be good for them if he leaves. Low budget vocalist with no power at all.

Well, I wouldn't have put it that way, but you have a point. The last At Vance disc is the only one that left me flat and I've been a big fan. It seemed to lack the depth and interest of previous discs. Perhaps the blame does rest on Altzi. I hope he does a better job with Thunderstone. I really like that band and would like to hear more great stuff from them, as well as At Vance. Wonder who they'll get now?

Ouch, that's harsh. I don't think he's a bad singer, nor do I think VII was a bad disc. There are a lot of actually horrible singers out there. Altzi is competent and fits At Vance and Thunderstone's sound well.

I think Mats Leven is awesome, but I was disappointed with the two At Vance discs he was on. Not his fault, the songwriting just wasn't up to par. I think the songwriting was much better on VII. Hartmann or Leven would have made that disc special.

You should realy stick to Agricultural Consultant, that is your education isn´t it? Since u think Rick is a Low budget vocalist with no power at all, u probably are a High budget vocalist with power? Can u please put up a link here so we can hear your powerful voice, please....coz i realy tried to find some songs with u but no luck.

I think u should be careful aboute what u are writing about other musicians, because it always comes back to bite u in the ass!

If i had been the manager of a small management company i would have used my energy on the few small bands i had, and stop waisting it throwing cow manure on other bands/musicians based on poor judgement....

Are you suggesting...

(oh wait, maybe I should write this post on your grammar level so that you can understand it...)

R u suggesting that we are not allowed to say someone is a bad vocalist unless we r, in fact, better than they r?

Altzi has no power. This wouldn't be such a bad thing, except for the reasons that: a) he is taking over for a very powerful vocalist, and he cannot properly fill those shoes, and b) his chosen vocal style simply doesn't work without a lot of power. Andy Franck, for example, sings the same low vocal registers Altzi does, with similar grittiness and dynamics, but he actually has the power to pull it off and sound good doing it. I don't have to be a vocalist myself to have these opinions.

On the contrary, one of the things that generally makes Claus's comments more worthwhile than most promoters is the fact that he's not afraid to be honest. Seriously, do you want him to lie, and say that he thinks Rick is a great replacement?

Hahahahaha - thanks, I needed that laugh :-)

Btw - awesome that you had time to go out on the internet to find out what my education is, cause that is really important when figuring out if I can have a PERSONAL opinion or not.

Also, it's sad you didn't find any soundfiles with me singing. I tell you, I'm so AWESOME that you probably wouldn't be able to understand it when listening to it. I'm known to have an incredible range when I sing in the shower - my dog (if I had one) jumps around with joy everytime I sing. Oh and that is of course very very very important that I'm such an awesome singer - otherwise I'm of course not allowed to have an opinion on someone else's singing.
