Yeah, I'm a fairly big "Giant" fan. I have their first 2 CD's, and I saw them in concert shortly after they put out their first CD, I was front row. Dan Huff's a very good singer, and he's one of the greatest guitarists in the Rock world.

Unfortunately I have no idea what their up to at the moment.

Dan Huff is magic, would love to see them live, Did see a boot dvd Live in london '90 and they pulled it off, I was impressed very tight.

Dan Huff I think lives in Nashville and just does producing now. I think he was involved in Bon Jovi's Lost Highway in some capacity

It's too bad...Giant was an awesome band I'd have never heard of if it wasn't for this site. Great albums, a shame we'll probably never hear from them again.

One of the very best melodic rock bands ever. Giant III came out a few years back - a collection fo unreleased tunes.....pretty good, but no match for the classic first 2 proper records.

Dann Huff is a Nashville production legend - Kenny Rodgers, Bon Jovi, Keith Urban. making waaaay too muchy money to ever return to AOR.

David Huff, Mike B and Alan Pasqua are all still in demand session guys.

there really isn't much difference between country and AOR these days. Sorry, but country now is just Bon Jovi with a southern accent and a funny looking hat. Huff is probably the perfect guy to produce this stuff, but it's a pity he's no longer performing. What a great fuckin' guitarist.

Think that was in the early days...I don't believe he tours/plays live any more. Such a waste...

Didn't this Stuart guy go hare-kare?

Three-wheelers were so overrated. And so were jet-skis.
That chick was kinda hot though.

Big Country, talk about an underrated band. They continued to release great music until Stuart's alcohol fueled suicide.
