Re: W.A.S.P.?

Honestly, based on my memory of Larry's dislike of Hansi's vocals it doesn't surprise me that he wouldn't like even good (THC and beyond) W.A.S.P. as I would consider Hansi the singer closest in sound to Blackie. ****Exactly right - although it goes a lot deeper than that ........

Re: Nine Skies - 5.20

Glad to see your interest in this band Larry :wink:

This new release by Nine Skies is special. If you're looking for more of a classic neo-prog sound, then the debut "Return Home" is the one. "Return Home" is still my favorite album from them.

Re: Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine) is back .......

I do like the new solo album. The production is excellent and back where Saviour Machine II left. The songwriting is very good and even more. There is something for the Saviour Machine fans. But we have to expect something more laid back in general.

there is too much good music out there to focus on the past. I totally disagree. At this point in time, I think good music is more behind us than ahead of us.
