Classic Rock Bottom

 

 

 

Guess the artist and name of the album is pretty easy top figure out, what with the picture above of sweaty guy's forehead.

 

This is the solo album from the Loverboy guitarist, another guitarist who has a distinctive sound. Fat, maybe? A guitar guru can describe it better than me, "fat" comes to mind but I'm probably way off. 

 

Not a bad album, sounds a bit like Loverboy here and there. Tons of songs from outside writers (Bryan Adams, Brian MacLeod, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul Stanley, Desmond Child and more). A decent listen, no something you'd want to use as a coaster.

 

Album came out in 1989, which was after the Loverboy craze. (Was there really a craze? And admit it, even though you liked the songs did you ever admit you were a fan back then? I mean the name itself...Loverboy? "Yeah that new Metallica album smokes! Picked it up with the new one from Loverboy." Just didn't fit.)   

 

I believe "Sword And Stone" may have received some airplay, the song is familiar. Maybe not from Paul Dean but from some other group?

 

So there it is, short and sweet. Dunno, still coming down from the roadtrip I guess, just throwing this up to have something for you to listen to next week.

Since last week's MSoTW was so very easy, we'll get a little bit difficult this week. That means Rjhog won't be able to figure it out.

How about - Greg Kihn Band - "Reunited". How many seconds is it, since you started this "Discussion"? Hoo-Haaa!!
It does sound like the Greg Kihn Band. Not saying that it is, just that it sounds like them.
I remember when this record came out, I was pretty excited about as I really like his guitar style. But I never picked it up, and I dont know why. Maybe because it faded away so fast.

After listening to it here, I like the music, alot, but the vocals are a distraction for me ...

And as for the thw MSoTW - 100% Greg Kihn.
Greg Kihn Band, without a doubt...only because that's what Niels and Scott say. I only know GKB's 2 big hits. I think they were called "The Breakup Song" and "Jeopardy" or "Our Love's In Jeopardy", something like that (but I still sing "I lost on Jeopardy, baby").

I will listen to Paul Dean today. I really wanna hear the Sword And Stone song. I think that's the one written by Paul Stanley and I have a bootleg of that somewhere. If I can find it I'll post it as well.

As a matter of fact, here it is from Youtube:

Just finished Paul Dean. I really like Sword And Stone, but then again I'm a very big fan of the songwriter. I really would love for Kiss to have included this on a studio album.

I also like Draw The Line.
