konfidential & x-treme close-up

2 compilations from kiss in 1 dvd.
First one, Konfidential, IS Alive III ... Do this record really interested somebody? Not me. I am not a very die hard fan, but I do consider seeing Kiss alive (in 96) was a dream come true. I have at least 10 kiss records. Alive II in both lp and cd. So I am not a bad fan :-) -Alive II and Strangers in the night are my favourites live records- ... but Alive III is not my cup of tea really. (Not to say it'd missed songs like a million to one, who wants to be lonely, from the elder, from unmasked songs...)
At least it is added 4 vintage clips.
6/10 for die hard fans

Second one is awesome. X-treme close-up
I had it already in vhs as well, so when it went to dvd it was obvious choice. It is very easy to understand. And the clips are fantastic. There are clips from all their story until '92. Simply awesome. Kiss story told by them to their fans. Little details and funny stories.
10/10 awesome (again :-) )

Definitive package would be Kissology. I own I and II. However i am not pleased they were in region I and not in region 0... somebody to please explain me so i can understand... not enough fans in europe/japan? and it could have been the greatest package on earth...

10/10 fantastic compilation. X-treme deserves it by its own. It is a 3h package.

Big Game

Great record. Overlooke by many, but filled with great songs.
Big anthem Little Fighter, tear-broken Broken Home, Baby Be Mine is ok, Don't Say It's Over ok, and i find specially good If My Mind Is Evil and 2 last antems for the end of the record cover Radar Love from Golden Earring and the nicest lament-song NO-WAR Cry For Freedom.

THE FIRE IS BURNING
WE LAY OUR WEAPONS DOWN TO REST
THIS WAR AIN'T OVER
'TILL ALL THE PEOPLE WILL BE FREE

STRAIGHT FROM OUR HEARTS WE CRY
THIS WAR HAS STOLEN TOO MANY LIVES
CAUSE FOR THE SAKE OF FREEDOM WE
WILL DIE
OUR SONGS WILL CARRY ON
9/10 nice to have

Raised on Radio

This one has been forgotten, but it is A1 quality to me. Why can't this night go on forever, Eyes of a woman, Happy to give, Suzanne, I'll be alright without you, It could have been you, Once you love somebody...
I heard it was really quick to do, and it was mellower than frontiers or escape, but to me, as big as these 2.

Lost in twilight, the memories
Precious moments, you and me
Weve been old friends, all through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tears
Whats in our hearts, there's never time, to say
Need you tonight, lover dont fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why cant this night...go on forever



Really fantastic.

10/10 brilliant

Bon Jovi second opus was a disappointing for nearly everyone... but myself. It is true first self title album was a great one, and Slippery just coming after, made the band be known worlwide. This one is more intimate, but with songs really good.
Hardest part is the night, in & out of love, the ballad Silent night, Secret dreams, Tokyo road...
I always loved Always run to you and the rocker price of love.

The pain of pleasure
Lying together
Youre at their mercy
As the telephone ringing on

No one said thered be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss

9/10 great to have

Visions of the Beast

I am not closed to the die hard Maiden. Even though, i have some favourites from this group, and getting all videos in 2 dvd for 12€ decided me to buy this one.
All singles, with all videos, and some numbers live as well.

Nearly 3 hours in the package.

The trooper is the one i like most. But lately I begin liking Dance of death, 2 minutes to midnight, aces high (thanks to a Children of Bodom cover) ...

Anyway, it is a nice package, missing a booklet :-(, but nice to have even for non-essential fans..

8/10 nice to have

Where it all began for me. VH songs captured the attention of a young who was only listenning into classical. Then it came BJ and GNR who helped in making the transition. This is one of my first LPs, so i know by heart Dreams and Love walks in.

So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of

9/10 great to have

Alpha

This is an interesting opus from supergroup Asia. Not as perfect as first one selft titled, but quite enough good. Standout cuts:

Dont cry, never in a million years and the smile has left your eyes are perfect AOR or if you prefer soft Hard Rock. Keyboards are powerful. The songs are great and that is what matters :-)

But I never thought Id see you
Standing there with him
So dont come crawling back to me

8/10 great to have

Asia

This is a great record. I can't get tired of listening Only time will tell and Heat of the moment. Such great songs which i could categorize between AOR and Hard Rock. Anyway, it worths a listening. I expect one day i could get a special edition so i could replace it...

I love these verses:

{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

9/10 brilliant
