    AndreA says:

    There’s nothing iconic, nothing that gives him a unique identity and stands out from the crowd.
    GH has simply become a bulemic musician

    How about the voice for starters?

    I like it better than the title track, if you are a big GH fan it probably sounds GREAT! I am only a casual fan of his solo music and this is good but no groundbreaking stuff IMO

    Respect to Glenn as a musician (not as an intellect), but this is becoming more and more the same thing.

    Scusi, but I absolutely love this track, it echoes Hughes Thrall, supercalifragilisticexpialidocius!

    Bit of Trapeze and From Now On … in there too.

    As unbulemic as your mom’s lasagne recipe, AndreA!

    His baritone in the verse and the backing vocals and melodic solo bass playing in the coda – magnifico-oh-0h-0h (to quote Freddie Mercury’s love for Italian opera).

    [Someone must have hijacked Uwe’s account, isn’t he the guy who’s normally all negative and always miserably putting things down?]

    AndreA – I’m afraid you’re on to something there…

    But I found this very old song, and to be honest: this is very ok ☺️😉

    Completely off-topic, I see that the VIP Meet & Greet package for Glenn’s upcoming tour is just 169,75 euros (excluding gig ticket) . Completely reasonable, compared with Yngwie Malmsteen’s similar package at 437 euros 😉

    I understand the reasoning behind this thing, but still don’t like it.

    Beautiful song with great line basses and melodies vocals. A wonderful GH album is comming.

    Tsk, tsk, tsk, Karin likes a song full of spite and hate written in a sardonic mood by Steve Harley while he was ill in bed and feeling vengeful against his bandmates who had dared to ask whether they could write songs too …

    Although an acquired taste, he’s still got that great voice. Having seen this talented band of musicians, it surprises me to notice the lack of actual guitar solos in the songs.

    So and so song after all, BCC leftover?

    Off topic, but I imagine what the Purps like with a new producer could be something like this. (watch video)
    Even being a hardrocker at heart, this made me keep my hopes up that AI can’t take over the music industry.
    Incredible album https://youtu.be/g5zApLvfvPs?feature=shared

    And it’s got a Purple connection, as Andrew Watt was the guitar player from California Breed, and is producing (he also produced the latest Rolling Stones album)

    Uwe Hornung says:

    That Elton/Brandi collab is a good one and though I thought California Breed live disappointing due to Andrew Watt‘s lack of guitar gravitas, he has now found his calling as a producer.

    AndreA says:

    The Rolling Stones’ latest production sucks. It sounds like shit, it’s not RS’worthy.

    – 🤣🤣🤣

    Honestly, if I should know every single detail about a song, the singer, the band, the producer, the singer’s parents, siblings, shoe size, if he dye his hair etc, I would never be able to listen to any song again 😂

    Sometimes ignorance is bliss…😉☺️

    Harley himself always joked that his most vitriolic song penned in cold rage became his greatest hit.

    Very few people got how the lyrics were his scathing Abrechnung with the original Cockney Rebel line-up who had dared revolt against him.

    Definitely the best track so far, first I like.

    Same here. With some songs I don’t want to know the lyrics for instance. While I read every word IG writes I just let the Dio-stuff roll by…it’s all about feel, creating a certain atmoshere for me.

    There are albums of the Black Crowes I like very much – and I don’t even know the song titles. In fact they are very hard to read on the cover – I decided it’s for a reason.I put them on and listen start to finish but don’t care for the words.

    Sometimes ignorance is bliss indeed. Not only when it comes to music.
