sounds to me like Joey is trying to sing like Ronnie

Eh, I'd rather Joey sing like Joey. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to this ep, whenever it's supposed to come out.

Yeah, he's totally trying to sound like Dio, and it sounds silly.

And according to what I just read on Blabbermouth, there will be no EP. These turds are re-releasing Worship Music with the covers as bonus tracks.

Lame. But I haven't bought Worship Music yet, so I guess I can't be too annoyed.

I saw that last night. I guess they need to get more sales for Worship Music. I am such a sucker that I will buy it.

You know what I'm starting to notice about this album? No memorable guitar solos in any of the songs. It's a minor quabble, but there is something missing. Scott's providing a strong riff and rythym, but the solos are bland.

He isn't known as a solo guy. Scott 's soloing ability is somewhat limited only to the blues pentatonic box, he solely relies on the cliches of phrasing and clearly he isn't the caliber of a Skolnick or a Friedman.

Rob Caggiano plays the lead guitar.

Yea, that's who I was commenting on, Rob's bland leads. I know Scott's not a lead guitar guy. And I still stand by that original statement. Still a great album, just unmemorable soloing.

As for the re-ish with cover tunes, well, that just blows donkey.

Ha, like that reissue is a surprise.

No EP? Just a re-ish with tacked-on cover songs? Booooo.

That's what is known as the "Roadrunner Records Business Model," lame to see MegaForce picking up on that trend!!

there are too many cover albums out now...

I thought the solos on the new album were good, but admittedly I only listened to the album once and it didn't blow me away. I may pick it up with the new cover songs if I find it really cheap on eBay 5 years from now.

I also listened to the album once and didn't have any desire to revisit it, I'd actually be more interested in the covers.
