The opening track” Hollywood Forever” starts off with guns blazing letting you know that these Hollywood Boys mean serious Rock’n’Roll business and if you listen closely to the lyrics you’ll realize that the sexual content is as sleazy as ever and that’s one of the great things about this band. “You Better Not Love Me “ is filled with easy memorable melodies which brings me back to their very first album, and songs like ”Queenie”, ”Dirty Black Light” and “ Vine Street Shimmy” happen to be my favorites. This band has never lost its true essence and even though music has changed a lot, a true L.A.Guns fan will love this CD regardless. The music is tight and it still makes you wanna throw your fists up in the air and bang your head like in the good old days. I could have done without “Arana Negra” which Phil sings in Spanish, although it is a good song and I understand that they’ve done it to show their appreciation to all of their Spanish speaking fans. I dig this album which is filled with variety of songs and Phil’s voice on songs like “Underneath the Sun” and “Crazy Tango” still gets my panties in a twist. If you want dirty, sleazy motherfucker Rock’n’Roll then you must own your own piece of “Hollywood Forever”!!
MIA KLOSE London By: Fiona Lane A little bit of Sweden meets London is what you get when you infuse two musically talented dudes, and a blonde bombshell with a powerful yet angelic voice. That mix would be Mia Klose, and here is their debut album "London" Lady Killer commences with roaring guitar, hammering skins and a deep bass. Mia's voice kicks in with an amazing two octave range with power behind her vocals and can carry a note to the high heavens. The musical content just spews the 80's sound straight from the gut. I love this song, after hearing it the first time, you'll want to hear it again. Very captivating. Activate Never Too Late with massive guitar production and double bass drums, which I thought was rather cool and how fitting
it was for this track. Mia's "Leather And Lace" vocals just explode with emotion yet so much aptitude. Even though Mia has a style of her own, her voice had some Pat Benetar and Lita Ford undertones. This band is going places! Hopefully we will be lucky enough to have them here in the U.S. If you want to listen to a female fronted band that will take you back to the days of Lita and bands like Whitesnake Mia Klose will definitely take you there. This album is a MUST have.
LITA FORD Living Like A Runaway By: Agnieszka Wilde The ultimate Vixen of Rock’n’Roll is back with vengeance and she has more balls then a burly biker guy speeding down the highway on a Harley. It’s amazing how someone can be inspired
