Album Review

Red, White & Crüe
""
While every fan of Motley Crue was flying out of the seat of their pants to hear some new songs with a fully reunited Crue(Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars), what you get is three new songs, and 34 slightly recycled ones.

As a young Crue fan, any songs are awsome, but if you already have many of the Motley Crue albums, sit out on buying Red, White & Crue, and just see if you can buy "If I Die Tomorrow", "Sick Love Song" and "Streetfighting Man" on MP3. Sick Love Song is undeniably the best out of the three. It captures the raw rock that we know the Crue posesses. If I Die Tomorrow is a sickly sweet ballad, and StreetFighting Man, is a cover.

The first disc gets you all pumped up on raw energy and Rock & Roll with classics like "Live Wire", "Too Fast For Love", "Looks That Kill", "Girls Girls Girls" and "Wild Side". The first disc is great. Good ol' Crue delivers.

However, on the second disc, you get the weird experimental songs like "Planet Boom", and "Bittersuite" along with a few memoriblia of the John Corabi days(not that he's bad, just not Motley Crue)

Overall, the music is great, the boys can play, and Vince sounds just the same as he did in the first Motley Crue heyday. And by the way, I'm expecting another one soon...

Album Review

Appetite for Destruction Guns N' Roses
""
As a debut album(if you're not counting the EP Live Like a Suicide), it is the best and worst thing Guns N' Roses could have done. AFD is down in history! It was so good, and influential, that it was almost impossible to beat.

That little bit about the parental adivosory label...They deserve it, and it's worn as a badge of honor. Because the grand total of (every exsiting) explitive is over 15 throughought twelve tracks. You can earn a parental advisory with only 4. Kudos to them!

Appetite For Destruction inludes the tracks Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City; tracks that everyone remembers-Even those who were not even alive yet at their release.

Welcome to the Jungle-
The song that introduced them to the world as a hard rockin' hair band. It has that famous introductory riff, and following that, an amazingly fast bass line, to add to that that high pitched voice I love. Of course it was a hit!
Sweet Child O' Mine-
Even people I know who hate Guns N' Roses, love this song. It's something about that ledgendary opening riff that pulls everyone in. And of course, the sweetest lyrical ballad on that album also shows some hard rock with the screaming guitar solo in the middle.

Well, there's something for everyone to love about AFD... If I could give it 6, 7 or 8 stars, I really would.
