Yo Andrew.. what are your thoughts on AIRBOURNE?

[ProgRocker53]

Andrew, I may be mistaken but I don't believe you've mentioned Airbourne on the front page or reviewed their album at all?

Surprising, considering they're carrying the torch for Aussie hard rock and are kicking ten kinds of ass!!

I saw these guys last night at Bogart's in Cincinnati... WHAT A SHOW. These guys (all my age, early twenties) brought it hard. A lethal combination of greasy riffs, electricifying solos, pounding rhythms, and deadly vocals assaulted my eardrums for a good hour. Very entertaining show... Airbourne definitely has a passion for classic rock and I expect HUGE things from these fellas in the future.

Their CD (the only one they have out, they're newer) is pretty solid. Yeah, yeah, I know, they sound like AC/DC having sex with Aerosmith while GNR videotapes it for Jackyl's pleasure... but they're a breath of fresh air in the modern rock scene. Completely blew the headliner, Theory of a Deadman, out of the water!

Forty views and no love for AIRBOURNE?!

Stand up for rock and roll! C'MON!

Are you talking about the cold medicine?

They just played down here in the Bluegrass, too. They get a ton of airplay here. Not bad...a bit derivitave, but not bad.

BOGARTS is a pretty cool venue. I saw Billy Corgan's band ZWAN there a few years back. That bald, whiny fucker can wail, let me tell you!

Are they getting airplay on modern rock, active rock, classic rock, or all of the above?

It's really only the modern rock station in this area. Classic rock in MOST of the country won't touch anything after 1980...

The classic stations around my area seem to play at least a couple newer songs by older bands, or songs by newer bands, per hour.

Just the other day I heard Def Leppard's new single, Nickelback, the Rolling Stones or something, and a Snakes & Arrows Rush song all in the same block.

Are you talking about the cold medicine?

Not sure how good they are, but they look stupid in this photo. Way to nick Krokus' logo...

[ProgRocker53]

I've never listened to Krokus at all.

I just ran a search and saw their logo. Similar for sure.

[ProgRocker53]

....do we have some closet Krokus fans here in Airbourne?

[X factor]

That's cool, but not in this neck of the woods (nor most of the Southeast ) Classic rock means just that. I've heard these shit for brains, Clear Channel DJ's talking ad nausem about the "New DeF Leppard" or the "New Journey" album...only to follow up with "...so here's one from 1981!" It really chaps my ass. I think if rock radio got behind these guys, they might actually sell some units. Here's what the Nuge had to say in a recent interview on a related topic:

"It used to be the people in the music stores loved the music. The people who promoted the concerts loved the music and the disc jockeys loved the music. The bands loved the music and the people loved the music. People celebrated the music like "Walk This Way" and "Cat Scratch Fever" and "You’ve Got Another Thing Coming" – they liked that spirit. You can’t find a disc jockey, a promoter and a record store in a town that have any idea what the other guy is thinking. Music doesn’t bond like it did then. I think guys who made music in the 70's and 80's spoiled people because the music was so good. I think we burned everybody out. I don’t know what the fuck to think anymore. "

BTW- LOVE me some KROKUS. They were 3rd rate ACDC but they had a couple of killer tunes, such as....

I must have seen them live about 8 times. They literally toured with EVERYONE back in the 80's! Hekuva live band, though!

YouTube hasn't been working for me lately. Drop me the names of your most highly-recommended Krokus albums and I'll try to give them some spins soon!

I think this is an excellent band, did you see them with Endeverafter as well?

I didn't get to see them yet but they have a bunch of new tour dates up for the summer.

Nope, saw them with Saving Abel and Theory of a Deadman.
