That somehow reminded me of early juicy lucy :)

Yes, I can see that.

In case you didn't know, Jules is the man behind the Fly Guitars (dedicated to Gibson basses) and Vintage Guitar and Bass websites. He's been very busy the past few years touring with Long John.

That sound's like he used his RD Artist on the audio - treble dialled down of course! To forceful and focused for an EB-2.

Saw this yesterday. Robert Berry played with Emerson and Palmer in the late 80s band 3. This is pretty AOR/arena rock, which seems to be Frontiers Records thing.

Frontiers Records is an elephants' graveyard for aging AOR musicians and they are always creative with pairing up old heroes - some of it sticks, some of it doesn't.

Yes, I have the 3 CD. Yes, I like it. Yes, I know it sounds like Mister Mister for people with a college degree who know that Stockhausen wasn't a German concentration camp. I own up to it all.

Wow, complete with their own generic 80s music video! I'm actually surprised i wasn't somewhat into these guys in 1988. Never actually heard any of it until just now.

12-note-runs, diminished chords and odd meters just go that much better with garter belts and stockings.  ;D As backing singers' wardrobes go, Cher proved certainly inspiring in the 80ies - good girl!  :mrgreen:

Don't blame yourself for not hearing about 3 back then, they floundered even quicker than Emerson Lake & Powell (whose album wasn't bad either though there is nothing in the least prog about Powell's "Barbarians at the gate!"-drumming).

Jules says it was his LP Triumph.

I didn't know he had one, that makes sense as well as Triumphs are less muddled in the lows than most short scales.

What looks like an SG backing up a few guys you might know.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

That's he most random shit I have ever seen.  It's good to be an elderly rockstar.

Brian Johnson back on stage singing. Guess his hearing isn't shot yet.

The resident affirmative action punk is in one of his "gotta knock classic rock, they are all boring old farts"-moods again.  :mrgreen: It'll settle down eventually.

Don't you even start there bud, we both know that Brian can actually sing, and what we have here is him giving the ACDC overdriven vocal treatment to an even older classic standard.  You look me in the eye and tell me that's not hamming it up for the crowd (it's what he wants; I am still trying to decide whether the song choice is dramatic irony, or intentional piss taking).

I begrudge them not; just sayin.

My expectation from Paul Podgers and Brian Johnson has never been the collective reinvention of rock music. Good vocalists they are, but they are both incredible "safe treaders" and especially Rodgers has never recorded anything edgy in his life, The Firm stuff was probably closest and he felt uncomfortable with that.

Plant is another matter - I respect him for his solo work (he is is own man) though he is neither Shakespeare, Dylan nor Chuck Berry in his lyrics.
