MR

Swiped me a free listen to two tracks.

Andrew, you need to get behind BA..He will be the flag bearer of this site along with JSS...

I loved both immediately. One moderate and one harder...dug the bass groove and Keith Scott is just railing ass nowadays. Almost as good as Neal Schon.

I wonder if those two could tour together?

Would you like to go nuclear on this guy?

The shithead is eager to receive replies...hehe

Real easy to sit there and write bad shit, but put up his numbers and you can't possibly say he "sucked." I would love to meet this rope-guzzler in an alley and beat him to a bloody puddle.

Hey Deano, how did you get to hear two tracks? I'd love to hear them!

I've just bought the greatest hits CD of BA, thought I'd better check this guy out but it's the usual hits I've heard over and over again on the radio. Select an album other than greatest hits as a starting point to ease me into his music.

Well, Reckless pretty much is a hits album, so is Waking Up The Neighbors. I love Cuts Like A Knife and Into The Fire - both are my two favorite BA albums. The song "Cuts Like A Knife" is the one that broke him big here in the US (mainly from MTV - that video was everywhere). Cuts IMHO is every bit as strong as Reckless. Into The Fire is an underrated album.

Those two are my suggestion.

Thanks SC, I'll try Into the Fire first

Into the Fire is the least commercial of them all...I like it..Guiar playing is amazing, especially on Native Son..

And I actually love the latest release a whole bunch....Room Service. Really good.

I'm an idiot who only has his greatest hits. I need to branch out. I guess I'll start with that one too. Thanks!

I was disappointed by Room Service a bit. It's not bad, but not great either. "Open Road" was much better live than on the album.

Don't start with that one. I bought it years ago and listened to it once. After I read Deano raving about it here, I went out of my way to load it onto the old video ipod. I still don't like it. Start with "Waking Up the Neighbors" That's BA's "Hysteria"! Every song is great!

Neighbours is good, and it does sound like Hysteria, only much better, because of Mutt Lange....

Hell, start with Cuts Like a Knife and go from there...

Dude you must be drunk? For one Hysteria is way better than Neighbours!!!! And secondly Cuts Like a knife is off of Reckless

Okay, maybe I need to start with a couple of them

Wait a minute. You are telling me I am drunk, and in the same breath, you tell me Cuts Like a Knife is off Reckless? Huh? Cuts Like A Knife is it's own album, released before Reckless.

You lost all cred right there.

Neighbours is a better CD than Hysteria. Easily. Leppards best cd isn't as good as Adams best.

Pyromania vs Reckless. Reckless in a slam dunk.
Hysteria vs Neighbours. Neighbours is a bit better.
Adrenalize vs 18 til I Die -draw
On through the Night vs Cuts like a Knife. Knife

Adams> Lippard

So now I'm confused. If I buy two, which two????

Oh yeah, my bad!!!
Anyway I say the better lp's are Pyro, Hysteria, 18 til I die and hell I don't even have knife so I can't say there. I'm assuming that it's better than On through the Night, cuz of that lp's lack of production.

This record is on the all time list of great albums...

Reckless
Pyro
Slippery When Wet
Escape

Those are all great efforts.

Reckless spawned these hits:

Run to You
Summer of 69
Heaven
It's only Love
One Night Love Affair
Somebody

and AOR Kids Wanna Rock

That may be the best album of any band on this site, yes, including Escape, Frontiers, Grand Illusion, Pyro and Hysteris.

Hey, I just recently bought ROOM SERVICE and I thought it was a great album. I especially love the song FLYING... which was co-written and produced by Mutt. The rest of the album is pretty good. It is too damn short... some of the songs are like 2.5 minutes long or so!

I like the concept of the album... some of it was recorded in Hotel rooms across the world, I guess. He did do the backing tracks in a studio, but added vocals and other stuff to the songs while traveling.

BA also took the photos on the CD booklet. I liked them... pretty cools stuff.

What's with Keith's mohawk?
