Prisoners in Paradise

Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven´s door
We had it all
but still we Wanted more
Now I realize that I can´t Turn back
the future´s here To stay
but hey We´re just children of tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday

Nice verses from title track, the best of the record. Not a strong record as the first ones...

7/10 nice to have

Girls Girls Girls

Girls Girls Girls from Motley Crue. Weak record, even recognized by Nikki Sixx. Only real worth Wild Side, You're all I need and maybe (only in concert) title track Girls Girls Girls.
You're all I need is interesting. You have to listen carefully to the lyrics, or watch the video.

The blade of my knife
Faced away from your heart
Those last few nights
It turned and sliced you apart
This love that I tell
Now feels lonely as hell
From this padded prison cell

So many times I said
You'd only be mine
I gave my blood and my tears
And loved you cyanide
When you took my lips
I took your breath
Sometimes love's better off dead

Really damned good

esc4p3

ESC4P3 was the record which made take off Journey. And it was a change, not only of style but quality. Adding Jon Cain to the Perry-Schon duet, the brightness of the songs reached perfection the people finally loved them.
To my opinion Journey ballads, amongst Foreigner's are the best i've ever listened.
But not only they were able to do mid paced songs, beautiful ballads but hard and heavy rockers.
And solos, like the one in Who's crying now?... nice and impressive.
Don't stop believin', Open Arms, Still they ride, Mother Father, and a bit lower Stone in Love.

10/10 classic timeless

Out of this World

Ready or not but I waste no time
I'm headin' out with some friends of mine
Holdin' on to what we've got
Oh even if we're ready or not

Ready or not but they're back in town
The word is out that this time around
They'll be lettin' go with all they've got
Oh even if we're ready or not

3 great songs, big soft ballad tomorrow and rockers Ready or not and re-make of Open your heart...
The rest is unfortunately forgettable...

I have the red edition LP :-)

High stakes & dangerous men

The record from the comeback: Way-Mogg. After this record they saw it was really needed Mr. Michael Schenker. Then there was the big reunion.
:-)

This one is nothing really special. There is not the magic i used to feel, even with their last record where only lasted Mogg.

Nothing special


6/10 for ufo die-hard

Bat out of Hell

What a great record, which i was able to know thanks to its second part (To Hell and Back).
It is rock and roll with a piano touch. Vocals are great and compositions are fantastic.

2. You Took the Words Right out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)
3. Heaven Can Wait
4. All Revved Up with No Place to Go
5. Two out of Three Ain't Bad

It is a must.

The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It's over, it's done
the end is begun
If you listen to fools...
The Mob Rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, They're breaking away
If you listen to fools...

Best songs are The Sign Of The Southern Cross, E5150, The Mob Rules and Falling Off The Edge Of The World...
But overall this is a weak follow up to Heaven & Hell...

Solo in Soho

I love Phil Lynott's voice and composition in Thin Lizzy. So i tried this one to see him as solo artist. Well, this is not the best one, but at least a couple of great great songs: solo in soho and dear miss lonely hearts. And mention the quasi-techno Yellow Pearl... so a strange one.

When you are so low down in soho
There is no hope no how
No place to go
You will go along
Some people say I'm a crazy kind of fool
But be that as it may
You always treat me cruel
Solo in Soho

7/10 Nice to have

Wings of Tomorrow

This is a great record, mainly A side. Songs as Stormwind, Wings of Tomorrow and Scream of Anger are big rockers. The instrumental Aphasia is good as well. And the ballads Dreamer and Open your heart are great too. The rest are a bit weak, otherwise the record would have been absolutely fantastic.

Stormwind--you're just like a wind
Comin' to drag me away
Stormwind--what can I say
I just don't want you to stay

L.A. Guns

I remember this one soo long ago, I really thought it had to be with GNR, and the artwork was cool, and the record was not much than 4€ today, so i tried it, and found a good record...
The style is dirty rock, as Appetite, so it is clear the guys (Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis) were more or less into the same vein of rock.


Angel mercy, tears like rain
Hurt so good, can't feel no pain
Paint it black, drives me insane
So far gone I'm not the same

You give me one more reason
One more reason to die



And the record had more than one gem One more reason: No mercy, One way ticket, bitch is back, sex action...
A bunch of memorable good rock songs.

Raise your fist and yell

Raise your fist and yell was my first lp from Alice. After hearing poison, I was quite impressed, so I thought I could have a try.

Well, well, well, this was the reborn from Alice...
my sister thought I was turning satanic because of prince of darkness, time to kill :-D :-D
and she did not know about roses on white lace and gail (maybe fry part II) ...
freedom, lock me up ...

In my eyes
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace
Straight from the heart
So dead upon the bed




This sends me 15 years ago in time ...

Asylum

To be honest this is not a great record, but it has at least some great songs: Who wants to be lonely, Uh! all night and the power ballad Tears are falling. And I do not feel the same for the rest of the songs... so it is a weak record in my humble opinion...

I read your mind like an open book
You lost the fire in your eyes
You turn to me with a different look
And then it's raining, looks like it's raining

Oh no, tears are falling(x3)

Something is wrong as I hold you near
Somebody else holds your heart, yeah
You look at me with your eyes in tears
And then it's raining, feels like it's raining

They could have done it better... they are KISS!!

6/10 for die hard kiss fans

Long Cold Winter

Long Cold Winter is second opus from Cinderella. Main soul Tom Keifer. For me it is far better than Night Songs. There are 2 great track here i like to listen: Long Cold Winter, title track and the best Don't know what you got till is gone. This one is a superb power ballad, begining with a nice piano. This would make me check next opus Heartbreak Station which is their best record.

I can't tell ya baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go

4

This was the record that made Foreigner explode. Urgent and Juke box hero are great rockers, together with ballad Waiting for a girl like you.

You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you wont come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burnin hot but you dont feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You cant stop until you do it again

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

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

7800 F

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

5150

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
