Video's of the week #46

This time with video's from DEF LEPPARD, MACAURLEY SCHENKER BAND, MICHAEL MONROE, VON HERTZEN BROTHERS, ABOVE SYMMETRY, AS LIKELY AS NOT and BAD CITY.

MICHAEL MONROE - '78

This album's got an EXCELLENT review in Classic Rock Magazine (9 out of 10). Just listen to this: "You imagine Axl Rose listen to this album, then cock an ear to "Chinese Democrazy", sigh and then stab himself in the leg with a sharpened pencil", and "This year's high watermark has already been set by this album". Hmmmmm, I won't go as far as that, but you can hear for yourself in this week's NMC.

VON HERTZEN BROTHERS - ANGEL'S EYES

Just like Michael Monroe, this band comes from Finland. This is from their new album "Stars Aligned". Also an album, that got a great review in Classic Rock Magazine (9/10).

ABOVE SYMMETRY - TRACES INSIDE

Aspera is a progressive metal band from Norway. They are signed to InsideOut Records and have a record called Ripples which was released on the 25th of January in Europe and the 26th of January in the United States.
In 2010, another band called Aspera threatened them with legal action, prompting them to change their name to 'Above Symmetry'

AS LIKELY AS NOT - MY LAST CONFESSION

I do think, this band is from sweeden, and therefore I only need a band from Denmark, to make it a REAALY scandinavien edition of VOTW, but no, not this time around.

BAD CITY - TAKE ME FOR A RIDE

I WAS looking for a video for the song "Call Paul Stanley", but I could'nt find one, so therfore you'll get this, by the same band, from an album they released last year.

MACAURLEY SCHENKER GROUP - GIVE ME YOUR LOVE

When I saw Def Leppard in '88, MSG were the support, and had just released this album. Man, those were the days.

DEF LEPPARD - FOOLIN'

You all know this one, but it IS one of the classic video's, and it's from one of the best rock-albums ever. I also saw Leppard on this tour in '83, and got almost deaf on my left ear, after a guitarsolo. I also shook hands with Steve Clark that night. That was before he almost made me half-deaf, of course.

The Von Hertzen Brothers (2 points)

I like this bunches. The vocalist reminds me a little of Gary Cherone. I will try to find more on this band. I think Classic Rock Mag. got this one right.

McAuley-Schenker Group--0 points

Michael lost me when this group was formed. What a step down from the MSG albums. Took me awhile too pick up anything new from Mikey, but this stuff just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Staying at 0 points because Michael is an awesome guitarist.

Def Leppard--2 points, 80's cheese off the scale

Great song, great album....and basically the last one they had.
