I also never noticed how skinny he was. Boys gotta eat lol

Well, in the late 80s he was on an "H" diet which kept him skinny, hopefully that's not still the case.

Yea he almost sounds like Bon Scott. It is weird what he is doing with his voice. I don't know why he's singing differently. I always thought he had a great voice.

I think he was trying to sound like Bon Scott on purpose. The title "Stairway to Hell" is a reference to Ac/Dc and Zeppelin.

Great more crap from a crap band!

Ignore the blasphemer! If they go back to their America's Least Wanted sound, then it will be awesom!

I sure hope so, that album still rocks and Whitfield Crane is one of the most underrated vocalists ever. Incredible range.

And I have to ask. What the hell is Larkin doing at about 0:14? He does that twice. I don't get it.

Switching which hand he's using for the hi-hat. He's also one of the only guys that I've ever seen play flawless double bass runs while standing up.

Shannon is an amazing drummer (probably seen Wrathchild about 20 times back in the day) and a really cool guy.

I used to have an old hardcore demo tape he recorded called "Rip Cl*t" in the late 80s, wish I still had it but it's long gone.

No. That's not what he's doing at 0:14.

And I find it hilarious that you have no issues with Larkin's playing style, yet Tommy Clufetos is a clown and looks retarded for raising up his arm while playing. Because I was forced to vote on who looked more retarded while playing, Larkin would easily get my vote. Haha.

But that's the album title, not the song title.

Doesn't matter. There's an obvious connection overall.

I guess he just sounded like Bon Scott for no reason. (what a coincidence) I've never heard him sing like that in the past. And the fact they partly referenced a Bon Scott album in the title...

I don't think he sounds like Bon Scott at all, though.

I guess just me and Phoenix Reign hear it.

How familiar are you with Bon Scott's voice?

Very familiar. The tone may be close, but Bon had a kind of flippant snarl to his vocals, you know. It was more than a tone.

It's not dead on Bon Scott, but its very similar.

Oh hell yeah, I like that new tune way better than the other one that leaked out a while back. Sounds like it could've come off of MENACE TO SOBRIETY.

...and I definitely hear the Bon Scott influence on Whit's vox on this one too.

Somehow Grunge killed their true sound, I was a fan of their debut EP

Yeah, he's definitely tweaking his voice a bit.

I just got this EP and it rocks! I hope they come up with a full length soon. They also just released a new video:

I think he sounds awesome in those AC/DC tribute albums.

He's not as good as the dude in '77 though...lol
