[Heeplist] Lets Get Back To Rock

[Bob Winward]

Dave, the guitarist from that band is very active here on the list, but as a
lurker.  He told me about your post, which because of all these list bounces
I never saw and had to go into the archives at tit com to find.  I was never
much for 80’s rock, didn’t like Motley, Skid Row or Poison at the time,
still don’t listen.  But when I heard the song Lets Get Back to Rock, it
grabbed me.  I listen often to the CDs Dave sent me and their last Respect
the Rock  I really like.  He is an extremely talented guitarist as you
pointed out the talent level of the band.  They sound more like Judas
Priest, April Wine, then Cinderella.  One thing you may like, the bass
player is very dominant and up in the mix.  Dave says they play Heep, at
shows, but they can’t do the songs he would like to do because you have to
give the audience what they want.

The site is www.wilkesbooth.com if anyone wants to listen to what one of our
list members does.  If you write him he may send you the cds also, to review
no charge.



Hey Bob,

Thanks for the below link. Musically it is not my cup of tea (I never liked
this type of music much) but it sounds very well done. These guys can
definitely play and I imagine there must be an appreciative audience for for
them. I think I read that his band also plays some Heep, which is never a
bad thing :-) Wish I could get one of my bands to do so ...

Cheers,

Dave
