I remember him fronting Malmsteen for "Live in Leningrad", what a tool. |

Nothing. 4 albums that each sound as dated as the one before it. At least AC/DC make the same GOOD record over and over again. Done it iver 20 times in the same amount of time it took Boston to do 4. ****, I'm GLAD Boston only has 4 albums. That's all the world can take. |

Same with early Twisted Sister. "Under The Blade" is really good and I still listen to it. After "Stay Hungry", they turned into a joke ("Leader of the Pack" anyone?). |

Yeah, it's interesting. It took me awhile, though, to get used to the fact that Ritchie was doing it. |

The onky band he was ever associated with while they were any good was Dio...and I'm not really sure how that happened. |

Joe Lynn Turner wasn't even the worst band jumper. That honor belongs to Graham Bonnet. |
Vivian Campbell is moving up the list of my favorite gutarists...

Don't need your advice. Don't care how much you're impressed with your own opinion or your overinflated sense of self-worth. Musical taste is completely subjective - people who aren't douchy ****ing idiots have figured this out. I personally despise Led Zeppelin, for example, but lots of other people like them, and I don't care. Just don't expect me to listen to it. Or you. I love Boston. Always have, always will. If you'd just said you didn't like them, that would be fine. I don't care if you jerk off to the Beastie Boys while watching Eminem videos. But you had to go all Omaha over it. **** you and your shitty opinion. I'll keep on happily listening to Boston. Me and millions of other people who think you suck. |

And after he left the band, there was a lot of back and forth bad blood between the two. Ronnie said some nasty things but Campbell said stuff that was even worse - like the stuff he wrote with Dio was his worst stuff ever, as he's touring with Whitesnake and Def Leppard. ROFL |

We need Dane to drop in on this thread.

Well, maybe Vivian Campbell is also a Boston fan?? :evil: |
Quote:
And yes, he was in MSG. :D He had a solo album with Mick Moody and Jon Lord (after Deep Purple, before Whitesnake). He was in Alcatrazz, both the Malmsteen version AND the Steve Vai version. He fronted a band with Malmsteen clone Chris Impelliteri (awful, awful ****ing soul-less music). Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. |

I have a hard time listening to later Dio albums (including the third Sabbath album with him as well as Heaven and Hell (band, not album)). His voice really went downhill as he got older.

Even Hansen. And for the record, totally would rather listen to the Beastie Bous or Eminem over Boston. Because Boston is ****ing horrible. Worst 'band' ever. |

They only released one album but it was a top 10 hit over in England. "Since You Been Gone" is probably the song you're most likely to have heard. |

"Power" and "Death Alley Driver" weren't bad for the times. Mostly it suffered by comparison to the Dio years. |

Used to be Styx; Boston took the lead for a day. |

Every one of these metal singers lose their voice to some extent, even Ronnie. But even right before his death, he was still the KING. |

And IIRC, Blackmore left Deep Purple because everybody BUT him wanted to take the band in a more "commercial" direction. Go figure. |

No way - it was crap. Crap I say! And you suck for liking it. (that was sarcasm and I didn't mean anything by it) Seriously, though. Dio with Rainbow, his first two albums with Sabbath and his first couple of solo albums were all during my formative years (saw him with Sabbath and as a solo artist for his first album) so it's hard for me to hear the later stuff. Just a personal thing. I still think he was a great singer. |

Jazz, I like Miles, Coltrane, Bird, Cannonball Adderly, McLaughlin etc. the usual suspects. Blues, too many to mention. Lately been on a big Steve Marriott/Humble Pie/Faces/Ronnie Wood kick. Love pretty much everything, don't do opera. And absolutely cannot stand Boston, Styx, REO, Foreigner, and Journey. It's dogshit music for the LCD crowd. |

Early Whitesnake is very bluesy. The original version of "Here I Go Again" is borderline Gospel music. The last two records have been very cool, mainly due to Doug Aldrich. Listen to "Sailaway" on the Deep Purple album, Burn, and you'll hear Chris Cornell's biggest influence. |

As it is, my first taste of Whitesnake was "Still of the Night" and all that Led Zeppelin rip-off shit. EDIT: I should note that I WAS exposed to Deep Purple before Whitesnake but not the Coverdale version. My Dad used to listen to "Machine Head" all the time. "Highway Star" is still one of my favorite songs of all time. |

Which were really good, btw. |

I'm the biggest Dio fan but to me, his stuff with Black Sabbath is untouchable. It's on a level far above even "Holy Diver". |
Quote:
Whitesnake of the 70's and 2000's is completely different than the John Kalodner money grab album of 1987. |
Quote:
And Killing The Dragon, IMO, is Dio's best solo album. Great songs, great playing and great production from start to finish. I wish he had done more records with Doug. |

Ozzy and Dio were at their best w/Sabbath; conversely, any Sabbath w/o Dio or Ozzy doesn't even sound like Sabbath to me. |

**** him!! Look what he did to The Black Crowes with By Your Side!! They never ****ing recovered!! **** John Kalodner!! |

I liked him a lot better before he hooked up with Caveman Shirley. He was a bit more raw back then. I'm a big Marc Ford fan, Mick Taylor, Jeff Beck, Peter Green. You ever check out the Steepwater Band?? |
Quote:
I was a huge Rainbow fan in high school and was blown away when "Heaven and Hell" came out a couple years later. I also put "Mob Rules" just a slight notch below H&H. "Dehumanizer" and "The Devil You Know" aren't bad; to me, they just aren't up to the same level. Like htismaqe said, the bar was set really high. |

By this point, everyone pretty much knows that Tom recorded the entire record himself, in his basement, on a Scully 12 track machine that he modified. He built the power soak so that he could record non-Master volume Marshall 1959 amps with the volume knobs cranked, which made for his "unique" sound. He played all the instruments on every track save for one, in which his friend Jim Messina played drums. He was a keyboardist by nature but B. Goudreau taught him to play guitar. And not ironically, he sounded like Fece (although Fece didn't play on the first record). He double tracked Brad Delp's vocals on every song but the second take, he'd speed up the tape machine by 5%, then play it back in normal speed. This made for the "wider", "chorused", signature vocal sound. Tom was really an innovator and the production on that first record, unlike many albums from the 70's and 80's, really stands the test of time as one of the best produced rock albums ever. |
Quote:
NO! Eternal Idol, TYR, Cross Purposes...all of em are damn near unlistenable. No wonder Geezer packed it in during that era... |
Quote:
And I have Black Crowes stories for days and believe me, their "decline" has nothing to do with Kalodner. Those brothers are certifiable. |
Quote:
Thanks, Tom. :banghead: |

I find myself fast forwarding whenever something from Master Of the Moon comes on, though. |

I really don't like the way they handled firing Marc in '97... What happened with Ed and Marc in '06 on the 'reunion tour'?? Let's get some Crowes dirt going... |

It's all over 80's music and helped to make the 80's sound as they do. |
Quote:
That record was Ansley Dunbar, Neil Murray, John Sykes and obviously, David Coverdale, save for the guitar solo by Adrian Vandenberg on "Here I Go Again". They must have put Sarzo, Aldridge and Campbell's name on some of the albums and CD's. I know mine had the real players on the CD jacket. Weird. |

However, my preference for Sabbath over Rainbow really doesn't have anything to do with Dio. I just prefer Tony Iommi and the crushing riffs to Ritchie Blackmore's sound. I put "Mob Rules" above "Heaven and Hell" but only because of quantity rather than quality. "Children of the Sea" is my favorite song, by anybody, but "Voodoo" and "Sign of the Southern Cross" together make "Mob Rules" the better overall album, IMO. |

Just like drum machines, digital keyboards, the Synclavier, Sony DASH machines and the first 48 channel SSL consoles, the Rockman opened up a new gateway to creativity in the 1980's. |
