It's ok but I will keep listening to my Deep Purple records I think. David can't really carry these songs off anymore and with Glenn Hughes not on them. Sounds weak to me.
The new Trucker Diablo ablum was released to pledgers yesterday (not sure about general release). Have listened to it twice and I like it. Here's the first review
And turns out they now have a female drummer given Eds departure, which can only be good bringing female talent to the forefront (not that I really listen to any female drummers but still)

Good to see more and more women getting involved in hard rock and metal these days. They have much to bring the genre be it through vocals, guitars, drums or whatever.
The Holy War.
That's an excellent track and a lot better when done live.
So is Thunder and Lightning the title track i was lucky enough to see the Thunder and Lightning tour 5 times in the days before sound restrictions let me tell you it was deafining:).

Phil had some difficulty singing TAL if the venue was too smoky!
He does give his all on that track!
Not been on here for a while, glad to see it is still going, i have just bought tickets to see Blues Pills @ club academy manchester, but thats not what i wanted to say.
If you search their vids on youtube it staggers me that the metal community can be so closed mided, just because they are on nuclear blast label (not known for being very diverse) all of a sudden the record label are sell outs, suck ass etc,
Do these people not realise that it is labels that will do something leftfield that can sometimes deliver something great, def jam for example signing and releasing Slayers Reign in Blood.

Sorry just really annoyed me
And Breathe!!!!!!:D
Yes, that sort of closed mindedness annoys me too. Blues Pills are a fantastic band playing bluesy psychedelic rock with soul and passion. That's not all that those metal fans are ignorant about. You should see some of the things they write about power metal or symphonic metal :eek:

In a new posting on MAIDEN's Facebook page, the band's longtime manager Rod Smallwood offered the following update on Dickinson's condition:
"Bruce has asked me to thank everyone for their tremendous support and kind wishes. He has been extremely touched and encouraged by the genuine and affectionate response from our global family of MAIDEN fans.
"Radiology is cumulative and continues to build in the body for around three weeks after treatment, so even though Bruce's seven-week course is completed, he's had a long period of considerable pain and discomfort. He is happily now starting to recuperate and the pain will continue to abate and the swelling to reduce for the next couple of months at which time he will be able take an MRI scan. It is not until then that we will have full confirmation that the cancer has been completely destroyed. However, prognosis continues to be extremely good and everyone is optimistic for a full recovery. Following the scan, we will officially update you on [the band's official] website at the appropriate time, probably in late May. After that, it will take a few more months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. Naturally, the rest of the band are totally supportive and MAIDEN's plans will be determined by Bruce's progress.

Saw Halestorm live last week. Brilliant band. Anaethemic hard-rock with brilliant riffs. Definitely destined for bigger things in the years to come. Have loved all the singles of their new album.

We're going to see Blues Pills in Bristol, really looking forward to it. The album is amazing.
It is sad how "closed minded" so many music fands are now, not just in Metal and it is pathetic to be honest.
A laberl like Nuclear Blast needs a diverse range of bands, even if they are nominally from the same "genre", to sustain the label. If they just signed bands a few morons decided were "metal" they would soon go out of business.

We're going to seethem on Friday and we're really looking forward to it. I've seen them a few times live and they always put on a great show.

Really like Soldierstown.
Not a bad album overall.
The Holy War.
That's an excellent track and a lot better when done live.
It's excellent news. That's their 3rd highest chart position (assuming it doesn't go any higher).

Stand out tracks for me are Somebody Save Me and the excellent ballad Where Angels Fly.

And most metal is a derivative of blues anyway
