[Heeplist] new album

Tue Jul 1 13:07:00 EDT 2014

True, Shawn, very true. Also modern drummers seem to use their feet  more. I think, it is good for the likes of Slayer and their followers and quite improper for Heep or Naz.
Cheers, Igor

Still way better then Nirvana or 9 inch nails anyway :))))))))))) As for the Blues Pills, they have a more diversed approach (still not enough to call them vintage, as I see it), the singer' manner however is way closer to Lynn Carey than to the one of JJ. And in my eyes, it is for good. :))))

Worst example is the title track where Russel pedals like hes in the tour de France.  In one minute he's takin it more easy and its one of the best tracks together with Can`t take that away and Jessie in my opinion. ;-D Must say Bernie is doing a hell of a job on this record, maybe his best work with Heep.
