[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heep Koko

[Igor Shveitser]

 Kevin,
It's ok, no offence taken, being positive and optimistic is cool (on one hand), but it can also blind your eyes. I am neither optimistic nor pessimistic, and although an illusion is a great part of Heep's legacy, I prefer being sober and critical. That's the way I am. And yes, sometimes I'm down on them because I just don't like what they do. That's honesty, I can't pretend I like smth when I don't. But to cheer it all up a bit, I must remind you: when this band released their latest studio LP, I was not short of kind words and praises. And Bob's your... witness. :)))))))))))))))
Cheers, Igor

>>This is weird indeed... When you say what I think, what makes you think you get it right? I am not being negative, and neither I think my opinion is the only one which is correct, I just prefer to call things what they really are.  For me David is never dead, as well as that band (which is history now). That's just the way I see it, and pardon me if I rate them way higher than the current line-up when it comes to classics. At the same time, I do admit this modern band is very good with their own material. So where did I go wrong? :))))))))))))))))))) Don't be sad.

>>>Igor, David is dead and he's not coming back, you call yourself a fan, but you're in the 80% negative zone all the time it's getting old.... You are not the only connoisseur of music on this list but you seem to think your opinion is the only correct one out there ....it's very sad really... Cheer up and be happy we have someone out there playing the music we love

>>>>Are you serious about Ken's "cover band"?! Honestly speaking, I do not like Mr.Tiranti too much but at the same time who can say he's got no talent? In my opinion, as a singer, technically, he has a lot of fine qualities, and in a way he's closer to Byron than Bernie is as well as he's more of a singer actually with his 2 octave C# which he sings (Trouble) not screams or meows like Bernie does. But I agree that as a rocker Bernie got the style of his own which isn't unique (of course) albeit quite recognizable. However, when any of them sings July Morning - it is a cover version no matter how you call the band.
