Just been listening to Chicken Shack's 100 Ton Chicken (japanese CD), and jamming along on the Zemaitis Clone with Emerald/Mule and using the Silver Jublilee/Ear Candy with Sidewinders. I can get all the old blues tones with this setup, including the ice pick clean with sustain!

Add the Klon Centaur or HBE Powerscreamer and an old Wah Wah and now I am into the Stevie Ray sound (and curiously enough, had him on next). Just for a change of pace, I have the essential Iron Maiden coming up next!

My all time favourite album!!!

Paul Stanley - solo 1978

To be fair - if you have never heard this particular album you owe it to yourself to give it a spin.
It is like Kiss without any of the dumb /stupid bits

Was the first Kiss related album I heard and it still stands up really well
Lead Guitar is by Bob kulick, and some of the drums are by Carmine Appice

Good album! I was never a Kiss fan, but I bought the Paul Stanley one because it got really good reviews - and because I liked Bob Kulick's band Balance. I've also got Gene Simmons' single "Radioactive" (on red vinyl, with free Gene mask).

Simmons solo album had Aerosmith's Joe Perry playing guitar on it!!

Bob Kulick is an awesome player - I love he urgency of the sound of his guitars on this album, although both Paul Stanley and Steve Lacey played on certain tracks (Lacey was also the guitarist on Simmon's Radioactive)

Bob Kulick is Bruce Kulick's brother (although it may be half brother)
Another great project he did was Blackthorne with Graham Bonnet on vocals

It's an incestuous world out there in the music biz

I never heard the Kulicks might only be half-brothers - they look very alike (if you imagine Bruce bald) and I think they're pretty close in age. Bob looks a fair bit shorter though.
On the incestuous theme, Bruce was also in another of my all-time favourite bands, the Good Rats - although he only played on probably their worst album... :?

Meanwhile, this evening I am listening to:

Tyketto - Strength In Numbers
Baby Animals - Baby Animals

and some "hipster metal":

Early Man - Closing In
The Sword - Age Of Winters Good stuff, if a bit samey.

What about:

Persistence of Time
Sound of White Noise
Stomp 442
Volume 8: The Threat Is Real
We've Come for You All

Or do you prefer the early stuff Ben?

I don't think I'm suprising anyone by answering that in the affirmative. :)

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

Seriously, I'm on a severe smooth 70s soft rock kick. I was up late the other night, and this infomercial came on with all those great songs from my early youth... Band on the Run, Cool Change, Kung Fu Fighting. Ever since, it's been 70s pop. My wife's about to FREAK! Speaking of Le Freak... FREAK OUT!!.

But, in my car, where I'm winding up for work, it's Exreme III Sides to Every Story. Side one is serious good stuff. The other two sides I can live without.

I don't know if you boys from across the pond were exposed to much US 70s pop, but all I know is the Bay City Rollers is from somewhere's over there.

Off to Splawn-land now. Weedly weedly weedly, aren't chromatic exercises fun?!?

I love Sound of White Noise and Stomp 442, but the albums since then haven't really worked for me. Haven't heard the early stuff for years, I've only got it on vinyl and I don't have a turntable right now.

Are you kidding?! Tragic Comic, Seven Sundays, Stop The World are all great songs!!

Philly Q · « **Reply #433 on:** May 23, 2007, 02:54:45 PM »

Tuh-tuh tuh-tuh Tragic Comic? Must admit I too have trouble with that song, and Stop The World. I think III Sides was a bit of a disastrous misstep to be honest.

Oh yeah, we got lots of 70s US pop. '77-'80 was the time I most listened to the radio, so the top 40s from those days are permanently etched in my brain. Unfortunately.

.... if sleeping is your goal LOL!

But seriously, Ben. I was huge on Pornograffitti. I initially did not like III Sides. In fact, I put it away for years and recently drug it out. I hear so many different things on side one. I hear Beatles, I hear Jimi, but it's all in Nuno's style. Listening to that (and Porno), Nuno definitely carved out his own distinct style. The guy is just nuts - and I would move him up into the "great musician" category, not just a great guitarist. Then you consider the diversity of the other two sides. I think Nuno just blew the wad on that CD. What else was left for Extreme to do? Truly a great great underappreciated CD. I have to say I love the guitar tone on side 1 also - sounds very QR Gear 1 to my ears anyway.

Nuno did in 3 albums what I couldn't do in 3 lifetimes.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the other two sides though. Perhaps in another 20 years I will appreciate it.
