    There are times when the legend and the fact are one and the same.

    Finally bagged some freshly baked Saxon: benefitting from 'the full Sneap,' it maintains my unfaltering faith with classic Metal.

    Any Stuck Mojo/Fozzy/Rich Ward fans? Rich has one the best metal guitar tones. So heavy but smooth. Andy Sneap produced a lot of their albums.

    Yes, Dev did that one. Sneap did the rest after that. Rising was Century Media’s highest selling album until Laconia Coil in 2004.

    Going way back to the dawn of all things heavy, Jeronimo hailed from Germany and this s/t second album released in 1971 is their most progressive and hard rock studio album.

    A path to the future can always be found in the past. On another thread, a poster said that popular music has moved beyond the guitar; that it has been replaced by the computer. Trill bringing him up got me listening to Jeff Beck over the last week or so. His electronica albums show how guitar can fit into today's over-produced, over-processed music.

    A friend of mine just gave me a vinyl copy of Conception's 1993 album Parallel Minds. It really roars through my speakers.

    Why that which rocks hard, free and oft with the glint of steel i'th'sunlight deserves primacy amongst all cultural tropes.



    Perfection.

    Jimmy, I bagged the new Magnum album you ref'd a while back and whilst they (will) receive short shrift in these parts due to an easily misattributed penchant for soft rocky type cliches (which certainly did afflict them from the mid 80s until their early 2000s reformation) I'm really deriving a sustained kick from their sumptuous melodies, stirring time changes and compression-free production; Tony Clarkin is creatively prodigious and yet again, like quite a few 'old timer' bands, the quality of modern releases is wonderfully consistent with technical chops that far from diminishing, reflect profound mastery.

    Lost On the Road To Eternity is a professional album from a professional band. But it's so over-produced.

    DM, whaddya mean by over produced? I sometimes come across the term applied to 80s material, often supplemented by phrases like "big, glossy."

    It may have once referred to 'Priest's Turbo which is a typically thin, sythny mess of sheening sin, so characteristic of that period (and an album no amount of revisionism will convince me is, largely due to the said, productive execution, anything other than utterly dire.)

    I mean there's so much studio polish on the songs that it dilutes any power they might otherwise have.

    I'm not trying to tell you your opinion. Are you telling me that's not what I meant?
