[Heeplist] Too Late to Hate

[Bob Winward]

What does your jaded opinion have to do with his new album???  Maybe we should change the subject line to "to hate to hate lawton's time in Heep " lol

I remember 76 when I picked up Firefly and find out David Byron was no more with the band.  It was a very sad time but then firefly later became one of my favorite Heep LPs. While a great vocalist in his own right he sounded nothing like David Byron so I came to realize this is now the new Uriah Heep  and I continued being a fan!!!

Many of us have met John at Heepventions & shows since 1999. Not only is he an outstanding vocalist with a unique style, he's a great down-to-earth guy!!!
