No getting around the Whitesnake comparison but there's a lot of 70's in there.

This actually sounds better than I expected. I dunno. I thought it might be more "light weight" or something. For the right price I could be persuaded. Is Doug providing the vocals too?

Singer is Keith St. John who has been in bands called Big Trouble and Medicine Wheel. Never heard either.
This version also has Sean Mcnabb on bass who has played with Dokken and Great White and Matt Starr who has played with Beautiful Creatures.

It's something I'll be keeping an eye out for. Thanks.

This always pops up on my amazon "you might like" list of recommendations. Never took the time to listen to any samples till now. Good stuff. From the recommendations list to the want list it goes.

Doug Aldrich is on my very, very exclusive list of top ten guitarists ever, so obviously I'm interested.

Song sounds good, guitar sounds great, I went to see prices for the album and found this pretty cool promo video

Their Burning Rain and Pleasure to Burn CDs come cheaper (naturally) than the new one. Are they any good?

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

They're not as good imo, this one really puts it all together.

Loved his playing in Dio, less than thrilled w/this.

Big time Doug Aldrich fan here. I "love" the Lion albums and recently tracked down the Bad Moon Rising box set. These guys are on the Want List as well. All in due time. Thanks for the bump and info, MG.

Song is average but i'll be checking out the album for sure, really enjoy some of their stuff.

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

Kind of forgot about this until coming across this song which is much better then the first one.

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

BTW, somehow I missed it's Keith St. John from Kingdom Come singing. Derp.

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

More Whitesnake then Whitesnake on this song, love it.

Keith sounded excellent in Montrose Band. I was at this show in Santa Cruz, Ca

I wish they had recorded something. David Ellefson and Jimmy DeGrasso are on bass and drums in this video

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

Wow, very nice.

I was at the Montrose Memorial concert, Keith did a great job on "One Thing On My Mind" If you buy the dvd it is worth it!

Metal Wanker Number of posts : 6039 Age : 56

Is there a CD release? I don't really do DVDs anymore, watch them once then they sit.

I do not see a cd available anywhere. I looked on youtube and there is a poor quality cellphone from stage right version.

Bummer. There's always YT I guess.

Alright, so I tracked down the first two Burning Rain discs (found 'em buried at the bottom of a box at my local haunt) fairly recently and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I have been spinning the last two (the 2 mentioned in this thread) on youtube the last few days and they are great. The riffs and vox are top notch. I find a ton of hooks here with great choruses. Kind of reminds me of latter day Lynch Mob as the singer and other musicians have been involved with the scene/ musicians from the 80's in various projects. It's modern sounding, but not modern down tuned or generic; at least to my ears. It's good bluesy hard rock!
The "Face the Music" disc is pretty easy to get and I am probably grabbing a copy from ebay tonight; but the "Epic Obsession" disc is nowhere to be found on the bay. It might be on Amazon, but they aren't shipping anything non essential for obvious reasons; and I am strongly thinking of boycotting them over their treatment of their workforce. When the shops open up again in a few weeks/ months, then I will probably run across this one somewhere.
