John Waite - "Shadows of Love"

[RedWingFan]

Is he touring this spring?

He played the beer tent in our little town festival a few years ago. As he was running onto the little stage he swallowed a bug! It was kind of hilarious and sad at the same time!

I think Waite's quite a good singer, but his newer material has been awful. I don't really care or notice his phrasing. Just enjoy the sound of his voice. His music does slant far too much towards the easy listening side of things, which is a shame considering he can rock it up when he wants to (Change, Wild Life etc). Good stuff overall though, just have to be in the mood for him.

All these guys from the 70's and 80's don't "rock" anymore, they like to think they do but they are all 60 yrs old now (or hovering pretty close to that)If you get a couple of rocking songs from these guys per cd consider it a blessing. We are not being realistic if we think that the guys that made rock music 30- 40 yrs ago should (or could)be doing the same now.

Journey hasn't "rocked" since departure, Reo hasnt "rocked since tuna", Bon jovi since new jersey....and the list goes on, most of these bands started to change in the early 80's, look at led zeps , in through the outdoor, if they stuck around past that time, this last album would have been the change into a new direction away from that strong rock and roll they had been stamped with for so many years . (i probably shouldn't have quoted just you Ehm ,it was more of a general statement to all by the time i finished it)
