5.0 out of 5 stars Great band + Great songs = Great CD,
This is an excellent CD for those who enjoy great rock musicians and singers performing full-bore, melodic songs. As you would expect the guitar playing is supreme, the band is over the top and tight, the singer is a REAL singer and the production is excellent. This CD is much more listenable then a lot of progressive rock, such as Symphony X and Dream Theater. If you want great musicians playing songs that you can enjoy than this is an excellent choice. As great as the band is, the singer ensures that you get your moneys worth as he is up to the task and has what sounds like a well trained voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars George Lynch Plays late 60's early 70's rock classics,
This is a chance to hear George Lynch play familiar tunes. It just confirms to me what an underrated guitarist he is. In my opinion he shines when he steps out of his comfort (i.e. shredding) zone and does "feel" playing as in "I ain't superstitious"

AWESOME SWEDISH HARD ROCK. FIRST CLASS PLAYING & SONG WRITTING. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS CD.

No filler, all killer. This is one of the best melodic hard rock/metal bands to ever emerge from Sweden, featuring cranking guitars, lots of hooks, and cool choruses. "Remember" will forever rank as one of my all-time favorite power ballads. If you love great melodic hard rock, do yourself a favor and track down this CD.

The guy on the cover is a weird combination of Billy Idol and Michael Monroe, and there's a topless chick whom he's just knocked out (what!?!). Maybe he didn't actually clock her, it coulda been a technical knock out... who knows. Whatever's going on, it looks sleazy enough. TKO make me wonder why commercial Metal in the 80s had to be so extremely poncey... cuz these guys are commercial, but still very heavy, still Metal, and infinitely better than any commercially viable hair Metal band of the era. In Your Face is a perfect balance of Hard Rock that retains some Metal bite, and every single song is well written, catchy, and memorable. This is a truly great album... sometimes you really can judge a book by it's cover.

CHRYSALIS RECORDS 1990 U.K.

One of the more obscure Pop Metal bands of the early 90’s is New York’s Trouble Tribe.

This band features singer Jimmy Driscoll , Adam Wacht on lead guitar, Eric Klaastad on bass, and Stephen Durrell on drums.

The band had a semi-hit on MTV with Here Comes Trouble.
It is a fairly decent pop metal disc by one of the lesser known bands of the hair metal era. This record has a few solid cuts including Tattoo, Here Comes Trouble, and the solid power ballad, In The End. The band also covered the Beatles’ Dear Prudence.

This vinyl is becoming more rare by the day. It is a nice little glam metal gem that is worth seeking out.

HEAR'N AID Stars An All Star single [ 36 top musicians (Dio, Kiss, Motorhead Y&T, Judas Priest, Queensryche, WASP, B.O.C, Quiet Riot, Dokken

Hear 'n Aid was a one-off project of the hard rock/heavy metal scene of the 1980s to raise money for famine relief in Africa. According to Ronnie James Dio's MySpace profile, the project raised $1 million within a year.

While attending a 48 hour charity Radiothon at the radio station KLOS, Dio members Jimmy Bain and Vivian Campbell noticed that representation from hard rock or heavy metal stars was low. In light of the success of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and USA for Africa's "We Are the World", they forwarded an idea to Ronnie James Dio, also attending the Radiothon, and together decided to create a similar project exclusively built around artists from the hard rock/heavy metal scene. Together the three co-wrote the song "Stars."

VAGH is here to make you remember the 80's. The sign is definitely catchy hooks. We love the sound of roaring drums, screaming guitars and slick keyboards, all in a mix with a lot of choruses to sing along with. AOR with heavy metal guitars !!!
