Alter Bridge??? go fuck your self. Thats not hard rock or heavy metal, bubble gum bullshit! [Reply]
In junior high school and high school I was listening to psychedelic and prog rock and a little bit of punk.
I ignored metal in high school and ignored pop music, although some party music was better than other.
But I started listening to metal about five years ago and have gotten into Mettallica.
Like a lot of music I listen to, it was mostly people doing covers that got me into metal. Some of which I've posted on other threads.
Metal covers of songs from back in the day.
Like I had heard this song on the radio too many times to count. But I never really thought that much about the song. Just another okay pop song. Until I put headphones on and really listen to the emotion in this version cranked up to eleven...
Now I know why Stryker was posting in the 'Old People' thread, that tour with Priest & Maiden together would have been 1981\1982!
I wasn't really fair in my original post regarding the band Hellion & its lead singer Ann Boleyn, I made it sound like she was just some hot female singer (I mean she was) but in reality she started her own band label (New Renaissance Records) when they couldn't get a major label deal (this at that time don't forget was in a heavy male dominated field) but vocally she was also right up there with the best of them.
Prior to seeing them live, this was one of the times I figured there was no way she could match belting out the songs live compared to what was on tape but she way exceeded that by a large margin. Its not even fair to label her 'for a woman singer' I'd put her right on top along with the other all-time outstanding singers from my live list; Eric Adams (Manowar), Bruce, Rob & King Diamond.
The only other time I was unexpectedly surprised like that was with Bobby Blitz (Overkill) another time I thought no way he could match singing live to what was on tape but was proven wrong. [Reply]

Absolutely. Solid hard rock.
Still in semi-regular rotation here. [Reply]
