What bands can we expect something from in 2008?

Sorry, bro, Dokken ain't Dokken without George. Just my opinion.

Fair enough. Though SHADOWLIFE was Dokken with George, and that album wasn't exactly Dokken either, if you know what I mean.

yep, that's the last one I bought. I actually prefer Lynch Mob over Dokken.

Funny thing you should bring up Shadowlife. I just by chance had ran out of TP the other day.........oh I guess my story doesn't fit this thread. Sorry 'bout that.

That's unfortunate, because that album is pretty bad. Not as terrible now as I once thought, but still not great. I highly recommend Erase The Slate. No George, but it's a killer album. It's not like George has done much that was any good since the second Lynch Mob album.

Jon Oliva's Pain.

I can't wait for that one.

Yip gota love the Mountain King.


ahh Dragonforce are releasing a new CD too (as Gooch said) and it will be the last (I hope) apart from the money grabbing "Best of's" & "Live" CDs that are due.

Sam said that if the next album doesn't do well they'll call it a day.

I thought Erase the Slate was good.

Yeah, tons of releases coming out. Next year looks to be another killer year for metal. It all started in 2006! Hope it continues.

I won't hold my breath for the new Sinergy, though. That album was due three years ago, but the band has fallen off the face of the planet. Not a peep from them in years.

Well that sucks, I guess they are not going to be on my top 20 until next year (maybe).

Let us not forget...

Alice Cooper - Along Came a Spider
Ace Frehley's new one

That would be cool.

A few more I'm looking forward to:

Jacob's Dream
Stryper
and
Theocracy

I'd like new CD's from Metallica, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Wolfmother, DragonForce, and, Heaven forbid, GNR.

Maybe even that Zeppelin tour.

Also looking forward to the new Leaves' Eyes. I hope it makes it out in 08.

Was talking to Tomi, and the contracts are all signed and the remastering has been done so here's looking to a January release date, the album was released on vinyl back in 1988 but this is the first time on CD.

check out some samples from Vibrations of Doom

Asgard - Dark Horizons

.

Another compilation from KISS. That's sure they always do it.

Circle II Circle is working on their next album, if it comes out next year and is just as good or better than Burden Of Truth, it could very well be my favorite of 2008.

There should be a new Flotsam & Jetsam album out next year.
