Tony sounds like a nice guy but I am not into instumental albums in general. On the topic itself. It wasn't me with the UFO. They are one band that I also have heard all this great stuff about but don't own an album and couldn't name 5 songs. You guys so sort of went off into some classic artists catalogs and how you missed them or they aren't that good. A good podcast that you guys might like is Shockwaves/Skullsessions. Bob the host and a panel usually take an artist...say Deep Purple or Judas Priest and go over the entire discography. When you listen to it you see how these albums seemed so huge but when reviewed in this manner they weren't that great. But in a Talking Metal podcast from a while back when they interviewed Glenn Tipton he said "even the albums fans would say are weaker Priest albums there are always 2 or 3 tracks they would call classic.
On Yngwie....he is no longer the shit! Same rehashed underproduced garbage. This dick is the only guy to hire Roy Z to produce......Roy helped Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson to return to form.....and he only let Roy "kinda" produce. Meaning his ego took over. I mean this guy comes to NY and tries to perform at Westbury 2000-3000 seats then cause of poor sales goes to a club 600. Everyone you talk to says the same thing about this guy. Yngwie....hire Roy Z....you and your wife do 100% what he says. If he says the song sucks "rework it" do it! Do an album cover without your fucking face on it. Keep Ripper and let him Rip (sorry). Do something new yet farmiliar!
