Bohlen really thinks he is an artist.
Modern Talking is divisive to put it mildly. Most people profess to hate them, yet they sold zillions of albums. I used to hate them too (and never bought a record), nowadays they are a cult guilty pleasure - in small doses I hasten to add (and yes, I meanwhile have a Greatest Hits CD of theirs which Edith won't even allow me to play at home!).
I must admit that I was not as lucky as Dave, Norway was really invaded (again
) with this crap. When I was 10 years or so I was a dancer, and my dad bought me all the Modern Talking albums. It was really hip back then, but I had to hide the LP's as my older brother's hard rock records was on regular display if I had friends over. My own collection was thin, a couple of AC/DC albums, some Twisted Sister, Dio, Krokus, a Venom casssette, and the Modern Talking albums
As a grown up looking back, I have two questions:
That guy who is a lead singer.. If live singing ever happened to them, how does he know what lyrics to sing?
They had five or six albums with 10 songs all with the same backing track, right?
And the guitar player, what is fuelling his stage act? All the coke in Columbia couldn't help here - looks like
a hefty mix of acid, speed and religion of some sort
