Chocolate box

I love UFO. And I will buy them all. But record companies prevent me of doing such a thing. Why?
This record is just nice to have, nothing really special.
Maybe Jerusalem, Muddy's gold and Whip that groove are the best songs for my taste.
Then it comes to finf out that there is a bonus song in japanese version. Somebody, somewhere. And then your face shows you've been ... thunderstruck!

So I hate having bought the non japanese one! Why japanese have bonus tracks??

7/10 just nice to have

The Cage

NWOBHM. 4th album from the Tygers of Pan Tang. This one is the most melodic and the most accesible to my taste. But full of great songs. The cover Love potion nº 9 is a quite funny story and brilliantly done. The other two songs that make the record for me are Paris by air and Danger in paradise.

the only way i'll wever see the world
is if i can find a rich daddy's girl
use my body to twist her mind
steal her money and leave her behind

John Sykes stayed for the 2 previuos records but left for this one, although you can still hear some solos from him.

8/10 great to have

Fear no evil

Great record from our beloved teutonic. This one will be mine shortly :-)
It is a 80s record, and to my taste much much better than Warrior Soul. Maybe I prefer summer red to blue winter ;-)
Anyway, songs as on the run, celebrate, the night of the warlock, i lay my head upon my sword, long lost for love are great rock anthems. Also mid tempos, as Scorpions, are great too.
And of course, the ballads, Walking with the angels -not to confuse with the magnific dueto with UDO -, which I prefer to Herzblut (heart blood), which in the single Celebrate is sung within in 4 languages. Good point to mrs. Doro.

Did i say it is a great cover art too? :-)

10/10 brilliant

Diamonds

Diamonds, the best of Dio. not a bad one, really. I actually bought it because i could not dig into Dio's firs opus: Holy diver, except for 3 indispensable songs: holy diver, don't talk to strangers and rainbow in the dark, of course.
A nice track addition: hide in the rainbow.
But all of them, obviously were here, so i decided for not a bad price to get it.
I would have preferred a double record with a nice booklet...

9/10 great to have

Prime Cuts

This is a 2dvd from all Alice Cooper career until hey stoopid record (1991). It is kind of documentary with videos, like Kiss x-treme, but here we only have alice.In this sense it is less enjoyable than x-treme. (Alice is less understandable than Kiss, though Kiss reaches perfection)
I would complain only that I would have preferred a bigger compilation video (i missed some), but it is just asking more and more.

2 things. Video from poison.
-Why alice is showing the censored version?!
-Who the hell is that beauty? Somebody please help!!

Second dvd is annoying having to play snakes & chains. For me the trick explained to jump it out does not work ... Maybe from the dvd reproducer.

It was hell high priced, now you can find it quite cheap.

10/10 brilliant

Ufo Dortmund 1980 Rockpalast

I could not get a Schenker-Ufo concert, I only could get Paul Chapman's. Anyone who loves Ufo as me would recognise the ufo composition teamed by Phil and Michael, and Ufo were going to be masive when Michael left. Paul Chapman did not have his charisma, but you have 3 records to see he played extremely well. I can not say why, but I love his rock bottom rendition, and he is able to convince you it is his composition. Awesome.
The same goes for Love to love. Incredible. It reaaly seems his.
Great renditions for the rest, including no place to run, lights out, long gone and making moves

10/10 great to have. not a classic, but rocks ... bottoms

Too hot to handle, UFO story

The video made me lose my fear to buying in the net/ebay. It was impossible to get it except by a extremely high price... never again!
However it would have deserved it, despite i got it at very low price. 15$ shipping included.
Renditions of most of strangers in the night tracks, with comments from Phil, Pete and Michael... Steve Harris and Rick Savage invited too.
Specially awesome love to love (cut), lights out, let it roll, and see a very young band in out in the street and shoot shot.

10/10 awesome for ufo fans

100M BJ fans can't be wrong

I remember when it was released, i thought ... naahh ... horrible art work. Horrible title. And these must be demos not finished.

But as always I liked Bon Jovi, I got it as xmas present.

And I am highly surprised. :-)) .. I did not expect it could had so many good songs. Let's go for the ones i am more impressed:

-if I can't have your love (RS on vocals): great lament ballad with Richie's at his best
-Only in my dreams (TT on vocals): great song, nice voice, nice lyrics, awesome performance... maybe the one I am more impressed of.
-Good guys dont always wear white: great rock song heard it long time ago, from a bso
-Memphis lives in me (DB on vocals): another nice piano ballad. Not a bad voice, adding feeling... but a little too short..
-Always (demo): not as spectacular and more intimate but good as well.
-Last man standing: this actually could had made any record perfectly, good song!

8/10 indispensable for Jovi fans, but not essential for the rest
