Disturbing the peace

The follow up for No parole from rnr. Graham Bonnet teaming up with the still unknown Steve Vai.
Good record, but very different from the other axeman, Yngwie Malmsteen.
God blessed video, wire and wood, mercy, heavy but melodic.
a softer one comes with will you be home tonight. Anyway the unique vocals from Graham are the trademark in all Alcatrazz records, so no matter who is playing the guitar. ;-)
Desert diamond, again slow one.
Stripper and painted lover, are not as good, but then we come to Sons and lovers, the best one, a great one. Great hook and melody.
Skyfire & breaking the heart of the city are not bad at all.

I have the japanese version, since I've never seen any other version, and it is time it was a lot of money out of my pocket. Indispensable? well if you love Graham's voice, yes ...

Interesting to watch Powerlive '85 with Steve, and Metallic live '84 with Yngwie. Both edited in Japan, but i guess you can find easily the dvd in ebay ;-), for example

8/10 nice to have
