Best artist Hard Rock of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ "Led Zeppelin? What's that?"

❝ "Best Band, Ever"

❝ The question here isn’t whether you own 'Made In Japan', but: which version do you have?

❝ The Deep Purple, then! Even though they are all more or less in their sixties, except for Steve Morse, our guys manage to rock like never before.

❝ I am "selfish," I wish that Deep Purple had stopped making records after "Perfect Stranger";

❝ Probably, Thin Lizzy is the most underrated band in the great rock landscape of the seventies, overshadowed by the quadrumvirate Zeppelin/Purple/Sabbath/Uriah Heep that reigned supreme among the fans of Albion.

❝ Thin Lizzy: arguably the most underrated band of all time.

❝ This Black Rose: A Rock Legend, from ’79, is seen by many as the swan song, the last noteworthy one before the personal problems of the individual musicians engulfed everything.

❝ If only one adjective could be used for B.O.C.'s music, I would undoubtedly use: VISIONARY.

❝ Secret Treaties will make Blue Öyster Cult appreciated even by critics.

❝ "It's the nexus of the crisis / and the origin of storms."

❝ 'Exit... Stage Left' is their second double live album and the best record ever made by the boys from Toronto, and I’m categorical about that.

❝ One of the most underrated rock albums is the right definition for 'Caress of Steel'.

❝ The Canadian band Rush is a trio with undeniable technical and compositional skills, and in this excellent 1988 live album, they provide a brilliant demonstration of them.

❝ Many know the Free only for their worldwide hit “All Right Now”, and it's a real shame.

❝ A roaring boom greets a random note, an almost intimidated "Hello" and one of the most famous riffs of the '70s.

❝ All Right Now - an extraordinary piece, with incredible drive, with a sharp and indelible riff, very current, undoubtedly the emblematic track of Free and a true generational anthem.

❝ Wishbone Ash remains the world’s most competent band in structures and arrangements based on the interpolation between two solo guitars of equal, mirror-like dignity and importance

❝ This techno, house, trance disc released in 1997 will soon be followed by another similar one entitled “Psychic Terrorism,”

❝ It is the sixth of the thirty (!) studio albums released by the British band from 1970 to today. And it is their absolute nadir.

❝ If you're not afraid of the roars of a distorted, relentless bass.

❝ PLAY LOUD!!!

❝ They are the Grand Funk Railroad, one of the loudest bands in the entire history of Rock.

❝ “Nazareth is a hard rock band formed in 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland”.

❝ WE GONNA RAZAMANAZ ALL NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

❝ “AC-DC really didn't invent anything”

❝ Legendary 70s British rock band, Bad Company are recognized as the inventors of AOR.

❝ What more can be said about Bad Company... nothing, it bears repeating: a voice of unique beauty, agility, and masculinity; three or four ideas per song, no more, but often more than meaningful; gorgeous guitar sounds, not a note more than necessary according to the blessed “less is more” rule; rhythm section on the same wavelength, powerful yet economical, not a single extra note, not even under torture. Minimalists, subtractive.

❝ “Rough Diamonds” is an incredibly banal album, stereotypical and devoid of any convincing idea...

❝ Strangers in the Night is one of the 10 best hard rock live albums of all time.

❝ One of the most explosive live albums in rock history.

❝ It’s 1977 and UFO reaches the pinnacle of a prodigious ascent, to be followed by the praiseworthy “Obsession” and the memorable live “Strangers in the Night”.

❝

You’re not worthy of reading such a masterpiece, square.

❝

This is rock in its purest essence, ladies and gentlemen.

❝ “One of the things I am most proud of, in my heart, is that Black Sabbath was not created by any big shot... we were four losers who wanted to try to make a dream come true, which ultimately did, exceeding all expectations.”

❝ Black Sabbath practically invented heavy metal out of nothing.

❝ We were not hippies, and we hated the hippies

❝ Ian Anderson and the others have not yet stopped delighting the ears of connoisseurs with their very own progressive rock, based on the extraordinary versatility of an instrument more typical of classical music than rock: the flute.

❝ And in the introduction to this album, Ian Anderson states that Wight wasn't the best concert of their lives, and I sincerely remain perplexed because both in terms of sound quality andperformance, we are at absolute levels.

❝ Under Wraps is Jethro Tull's worst album: cold, too technological, not acoustic enough, not melodic enough, and especially lacking the flute that made the band famous.

❝ Make it yours, knowing that you have in your hands one of the definitive rock masterpieces of the seventies.

❝ If this group makes it, I'll have to kill myself!

❝ The title track "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is the true masterpiece.

❝ I consider it one of the best of the '60s and '70s... a must-have with your eyes closed...

❝ In a Gadda Da Vida is not an album of psychedelic rock, In a Gadda Da Vida is psychedelic rock.

❝ One of the best hard rock albums ever! Period.

❝ Kings, sorcerers, castles, popular revolts, elves, fantastic and evocative scenarios: in one word, FANTASY.

❝ This album is unanimously considered inferior to the subsequent "Rising," considered the great masterpiece of this extraordinary band;

❝ In the realm of a completely English genre like progressive, the Americans Pavlov's Dog took their first steps, a group that, despite releasing only two good-level records (besides this one, the subsequent and inferior "At The Sound Of The Bell"), can boast a respectable place in rock history, enhanced by an unexpected and rapid success that, due to various misunderstandings and the genre's decline, led to the band's swift disappearance.

❝ That gem was "Pampered Menial," a spectacular debut LP from the large American band—seven members, an atypical lineup for the scene at the time, also seen in variant form with the phenomenal Kansas.

❝ Unstoppable.

❝ A band that has always, and I mean always, adhered to this ideal is Saxon.

❝ This album takes your breath away from start to finish, not a single slow piece, not a single guitar without distortion.

❝ Unjustly forgotten, the Sir Lord Baltimore are a power-trio from New York who left a scorching mark on the music scene with their debut in 1970, with the album "Kingdom Come," to be considered as a true example of heavy metal ante litteram.

❝ If only one name from the entire history of rock remains in a hundred years, it will inevitably be Jimi Hendrix, said Pete Townshend.

❝ Here. In about two minutes, Jimi Hendrix one day decided to show us his soul and we all realized that his soul was so, so beautiful.

❝ Hendrix and the completely still and mesmerized audience in front of this being who came from who knows where to express everything he had inside with the howls he managed to produce from his guitar..

❝ There are albums that deserve to be considered (not only) for their intrinsic value as a record, but for their quality as real "time machines."

❝ "Just watching them on stage for a minute convinced you that no one could stop them. They were a lit fuse." (Gene Simmons, Kiss).

❝ Van Halen was a band that had fun.

❝ After listening to this album, you will remain silent for 1 minute to absorb it. And then only the following exclamation will come from your mouth: “MIIIINCHIA!”

❝ From start to finish, the record presents itself as an exhausting cavalcade through hard rock, blues, and boogie, all played even more crudely than in any previous work by the band.

❝ Pump is the second of Aerosmith's three "Big Ones," the three jewels of the veteran Boston band's discography.

❝ The Motorhead, you either love them or hate them.

❝ We usually get drunk, play, and fall off the stage. Not necessarily in that order.

❝ We are Motörhead, and we play Rock 'N' Roll!

❝ The title is "Double Live Gonzo" (1977), and it's one of the craziest and most adrenaline-pumping concerts you'll hear in your life.

❝ ten tracks of powerful hard-rock-blues that in some cases anticipate the nascent heavy metal.

❝ don’t miss out on this guitarist, much less on this album of his, it’s pure history.

❝ A GENRE THAT IS STILL 1000 YEARS AHEAD of contemporary "music"!!

❝ Ok for the last time at the Fillmore, the Humble Pie!

❝ With this second album, our roosters hit the mark.

❝ Atomic Rooster was an interesting band from the early seventies, perfectly balanced between hard rock and progressive.

❝ Atomic Rooster emerged at the dawn of Prog Rock.

❝ “Ballad group us? We absolutely reject this label. We haven't actually done that many ballads... and I don’t think people identify us this way” (Klaus Meine)

❝ “Apoteosis is the right term to define this record which, in my opinion, represents the peak of a glorious climb, success after success, through a series of excellent albums, for a band that never gave up or got discouraged during difficult moments.”

❝ “This album ultimately represents the last masterpiece of the Scorpions' second “classic” lineup: angry, rock-solid, embellished by the outstanding performance of all the members.”

❝ Primordial is the most suitable adjective to define the sound of Blue Cheer, a Californian combo from the late '60s.

❝ It's not exactly the type of music I usually listen to, and it's not an easy album to review: it is raw, harsh, primitive, and the production work is quite sparse, but let's not forget the historical importance of the record and the influences it has had on the hard rock and heavy metal genres, and how exciting and dramatic the album itself is.

❝ “At the moment, Rory Gallagher!”

❝ “Overwhelming.”

❝ “Irish Rory Gallagher has been one of the best rock-blues guitarists of all time.”

❝ I only go to see Alter Bridge... So what? Problems? Something wrong?

❝ Blackbird is a masterpiece of composition, vocals, and storytelling.

❝ If the first album was the revelation and the second the confirmation, the third is the consecration.

❝ Gov’t Mule is not a group, they are a combo; they are dense, powerful, and varied.

❝ Deja Voodoo is an exceptional album; the sound is compact, powerful, and much darker compared to the group’s other works...

❝ Classifying Gov’t Mule under a single label is becoming increasingly difficult over the years and albums.

❝ Trick!!!!! Do you want to understand that it will never come out???

❝ Guns N’ Roses today are what they’ve always been.

❝ Appetite For Destruction is the life of the Guns n' Roses in twelve songs.

❝ David Coverdale is defined as the "Divo" of hard rock.

❝ Try it instead: positive result guaranteed.

❝ A timeless work, as they say, with a sound still very current.

❝ If they put my head in a guillotine, that’s fine, but if they put a needle nearby, I faint on the floor (Alice Cooper).

❝ If this macabre "freak of nature" in flesh and bone hadn't existed or had chosen another profession, surely Marilyn Manson, Lizzy Borden, Twisted Sister, and W.A.S.P. would have worked as clowns with Moira Orfei.

❝ Alice Cooper delivers a monstrous performance, teaching much younger colleagues what it means to Rock’n’Roll. Thank you for everything, Alice, truly...

❝ An Emotion called Kiss.

❝ You Wanted The Best! You've got The Best! The Hottest Band In the World... KISS!!

❝ This "Squawk" is certainly a small masterpiece of creativity and imagination, where each track shines with its own life and light, while at the same time managing to develop the band's more Heavy and weighty side. A work unjustly ignored at the time but should be rediscovered.

❝ What emerges is a work that fits perfectly within the historical context of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, important for the genre and for the influences it has managed to direct towards the entire Metal movement.

❝ "Breadfan", the first work of the album, is introduced by a snappy riff, made famous by Metallica, fast and rapid, one is stunned by the compositional skills of the trio, but above all, as I have already said, by the voice of Bourge supported and well blended by the continuous explosive scales of Shelley and Bourge himself.

❝ The Triumph, key figures of a school often underestimated or perhaps overshadowed by its American counterpart, the Canadian one, along with Rush represent the highest peaks in the hard rock and non-rock environment of the North American country.

❝ If a bunch of music critics got together, watched, selected, evaluated, left the room, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best rock music performance of all time," then there is clearly a reason.

❝ Your life is your own You're in charge of yourself Master of your home In the end In the end You have to face it alone

❝ "A night at the Opera" is Queen's masterpiece.

❝ 'Pyromania' is a work that snapshots the band at its best form and still deserves today the esteem and respect of anyone who considers themselves a fan of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal...

❝ In fact, there is absolutely no problem or flaw in this album.

❝ they ventured into composing the album that is still considered their greatest success (both commercially and compositionally), "Hysteria."

❝ Is it possible to listen to “My Generation” without screaming and shaking?!

❝ Less than forty minutes, but an actual punch in the stomach, a pure distillation of that thing that someone called Rock and which instead I like to call Rock.

❝ LOVE REIGNS ON ME.

❝ They’ve been in the same formation for over fifty years, damn: maximum respect.

❝ "Eliminator" is the eighth studio album by the Texan trio ZZ Top, and their most known and appreciated work.

❝ Long beards.

❝ And instead, what a wallop, what a lesson, I had to keep quiet.

❝ Personally, I enjoy the golden age, of which "Dr. Feelgood" represents the masterpiece, an album that reeks of sweat and greasepaint, a mix of macho rock and androgynous image, an album that talks of women, parties, and bad guys, but first spends hours in front of the mirror fixing makeup and hair.

❝ A high-class album to use as a nice ashtray.

❝ “I have always been bored to death by bands that got on stage in t-shirts and jeans and stood still the entire evening. Damn, the audience would have had more fun staying home listening to the album in the comfort of their living room. I'd rather be dead than be on stage like that. What I can say is that if you think you've already seen crazy things, give us time and you won't believe your eyes.”

❝ “Kill, fuck, and die! That's all you'll get from life!”

❝ “Before the flame, burn's out!”

❝ The Captain Beyond are a genuine Californian prog-rock musical meteor formed way back in 1972

❝ “Pieces Of Eight” is the meeting point between prog and pop.

❝ Styx, first and foremost, are an AOR band—a brilliant and solid presence in American rock, with that typical overseas flair, a band capable of crafting energetic, effective, and all-in-all catchy songs.

❝ “Paradise Theatre” (with the horrid bileteral inversion so cherished overseas) is a concept album: it echoes the thirty-year inglorious history of the cinema of the West Side of Chicago, from the pomp of its debut to the sadness that envelops its cold materials.

❝ Gotthard is a glorious Swiss band led by the singer and flamboyant Steve Lee, who has been milking records since distant 1992 with stunning quality;

❝ Steve Lee dies on that cursed October 5th, 2010.

❝ Gotthard (which, in hindsight, is a brilliant name in its obviousness – for those who don’t know, the St. Gotthard is a massive mountain with an essential tunnel) were born in 1990 in Lugano

❝ I don't wanna stop, fuck! I'm Ozzy Osbourne and fuck reality, money, and everything else!

❝ Make it yours.

❝ I believe in something crazy. Something abstruse.

❝ A ticking time bomb, that's "Slave To The Grind", the second badass album by Skid Row...

❝ If anyone didn't know yet, SKID ROW still exists!

❝ This album is an absolute must-have in your rock or metal album collection.

❝ If we are looking for innovation or something new and different from the usual, we're in the wrong place; if we're seeking something familiar, but with a familiarity that doesn't come at the expense of quality, we can only view this new Black Label Society release positively.

❝ 2021: our rock-metal Viking, with his Black Label Society, releases the new work Doom Crew Inc., a beautiful and remarkable album from several perspectives, probably one of the best since The Blessed Hellride.

❝ The most successful album is undoubtedly "The Blessed Hellride," released in 2003.

❝ Four tracks, a short half-hour (the shortest playing time in prog history), and a concept about Hegel.

❝ Whoever approaches this album with patience and a bit of optimism will discover a Masterpiece with a capital M.

❝ Recorded entirely live, it was made completely without keyboards, a typical prog element, to make room for a mad guitar reflecting the examples of UK-made blues and hard rock.

❝ At that time... Poison can undoubtedly be considered the most popular representatives of Glam from those years.

❝ This album leaves nothing to be desired, managing to sublimate all the trends that marked an era, that era, and to deliver to the public, perfectly packaged, a true fashion.

❝ The band sheds its sequins and fluorescences, leaving room for the color of the earth.

❝ Holy Diver is one of those rare albums that you listen to with immense pleasure even after a long time.

❝ This posthumous release is a product of excellent quality and great appeal, both for the fan and the newcomer, who can get an idea of what "Dio" was at the time, a true and immortal rock'n'roll band. Recommended

❝ "Dio’s Inferno," in fact, proves to be a quality product, well-played – it would be impossible to expect otherwise – and with a rather balanced setlist, drawing a bit from the entire discography of the New York sprite.

❝ Tonight is for the music/ tonight is for the gear

❝ SUPPORT METAL MADE OF VALUE AND POWER LIKE THAT OF VANEXA!!

❝ This is the memory of Randy, a demiurge of the 6 strings, full of artistic talent and compositional ideas, celebrated and perhaps a little transfigured by a premature departure.

❝ "Cozy Powell on drums!"

❝ Pino Scotto, ipse dixit, is a lion wounded by ‘this shitty society’.

❝ Limiting this “Third Moon” to a single genre is very difficult.

❝ Jeff Beck plays everything on the electric guitar; his hands bang the bridge, tremolo arm, headstock, the string remnants between the bridge and the tailpiece, and those between the nut and the headstock tuners, then the wah wah pedal, the slide thimble sliding across the strings using not just the left hand but sometimes the right, constantly using the volume and tone knobs and the pickup selector.

❝ Here, it borders on the absurd, but in the most positive sense of the word: after listening to this work, one is left astounded; there are no words to describe what Beck has managed to accomplish with the guitar and how naturally he was able to put his soul, his passion, his energy onto vinyl.

❝ In many respects, Jeff is the greatest electric guitarist of all time: his touch and sound are princely, unmatched; his approach to rhythm and melody is intriguing and surprising...

❝ “The Lynyrd Skynyrd that once were will never exist again.”

❝ “Music is all we have and know. If it hadn't been for rock'n'roll, we would have gone to pick cotton.”

❝ “Don't tell me nonsense. You know it. You know it better than I do. Even the stones know it. Lynyrd Skynyrd has not existed since 1977.”

❝ Overall, an album neither bad nor outstanding, beautiful but not indispensable, purchased more out of curiosity than necessity. Until the following tracks.

❝ It is impossible not to be swept away by the drive of "Carry on Wayward Son".

❝ Kansas means great hard rock with progressive virtuosity and hints of country, also thanks to the presence of the violin.

❝ This sublime album represents one of the cornerstones of 70s rock, with ten tracks marking one of the last worthy events of Progressive ROCK, and I write in capital letters ROCK because subsequently Prog Metal will be born.

❝ "Sacrifice," released in 1970, just a few months after the Black Sabbath's debut record, is perhaps the most beautiful of his nightmares, the most vivid of his decadent frescoes.

❝ By 1970, Satanism in rock was no longer even a taboo, already broken by Coven and Black Sabbath; but while the former were pretending to be Satanists and the latter were frightened by occultism, the Black Widow, born from the ashes of an insignificant blues-rock group, were seriously involved in that dark world, so much so that they officiated real rituals during their concerts, complete with sacrifices.

❝ a riff like Mr. Big’s, the warm voice of that blonde singer, and an epic chorus that made me scream "Spellbound" at the top of my lungs throughout the house to the despair of the neighbors.

❝ Gary Hughes needs no introduction to metal listeners, a versatile artist present in several projects (including the personal one that retold the entire story of King Arthur a few years ago) and who was the main driving force behind the artistic resurgence of the great Bob Catley, leader of Magnum (among the founders of pomp rock).

❝ ...What is Metal? METAL IS PAINKILLER!

❝ Year 1976: the genre of Heavy Metal is officially born, and if this happens, we mainly owe it to the second work of Judas Priest, with the poetic name of Sad Wings of Destiny.

❝ A live that has truly made history and which I consider inimitable and unattainable in importance and beauty.

❝ A sincere rock, hard and melodic in equal measure, which is still fun to listen to after thirty years.

❝ In conclusion, it's one of the best live albums of the '80s, but above all, one of the best live Metal albums in general, that every self-respecting metalhead should own!

❝ The first track is stratospheric, "Headhunter" is a true Metal bomb worthy of the early NWOBHM.

❝ Ronnie James Dio is not just any metal singer; he is the metal singer.

❝ turns out to be DIO's heaviest and most Sabbath-like album.

❝ The end of a legend.

❝ Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll! In Finland???

❝ Instead of waiting for democracy to arrive in China, trust my advice and refresh your ears with Hanoi Rocks, who from the 2002 reunion deliver their best product with 13 tracks to listen to at full volume.

❝ Awe and reverence: these are the two words that describe how I feel when starting to review an album by a band like Hanoi Rocks.

❝ Two albums combined into one.

❝ Chaos, fun, hedonism: ethically incorrect music, absolutely worth listening to.

❝ In conclusion, if you want to listen to a kick-ass rock’n’roll album, with few technicalities but with lots of dedication and excess, I recommend this record, a faithful representative of the sleazy-rock.

❝ Everything is accomplished: the sixteenth birth of the famous Iron Maiden has already started to whisper its occult rituals in the eardrums of all of us.

❝ They play like gods, there’s not much to add.

❝ A year lived dangerously, at the limits of human musical possibilities, and ending in Los Angeles after touching Japan, Brazil, Hawaii, and Australia.

❝ If I say Magnum and ask you to associate an image with the name, chances are that you spontaneously add the letters P.I. and the image of Tom Selleck's mustache and his Ferrari pops into your mind.

❝ A track that might appeal to fans of AOR as well as followers of more classic metal.

❝ here is the regal sound of Magnum, a whole different story...

❝ Fate is really strange!

❝ After the great success of the album ‘Metal Health’, the Quiet Riot, led by the euphoric singer Kevin DuBrow (sadly recently passed away at the age of 52), faithfully followed by the excellent guitarist Carlos Cavazo, bassist Rudy Sarzo, and the wild drummer Frankie Banali, try to ride the wave of success by releasing just a year later this ‘Condition Critical’.

❝ The year was 1998, when 4 Swedish guys released an album that made history in the Scandinavian Rock scene: "Total 13".

❝ The group shows reassuring maturity, with exceptional compositional peaks, a taste that manages to combine power with catchiness and fun, surely a rare gift.

❝ I admit: the disappointment is burning hot.

❝ What an album, folks!

❝ And Tooth And Nail is undoubtedly their masterpiece.

❝ Ultimately, I consider Back For The Attack the masterpiece of Dokken, as surely understood.

❝ In short, the album is a guarantee: in my opinion, it's melodic metal, ideal when you crave powerful riffs but nothing too enraged.

❝ In general, "Split your lip" is a good commercial product, recorded and played with technical competence, and primarily aimed at a very young audience.

❝ I can only hope they continue to play and create "Hardcore Superstar" songs because these guys have talent and style to spare.

❝ “Ritual De Lo Habitual” is to be counted among the milestones also for this.

❝ THESE GUYS REALLY ROOOOCK!!!!!!

❝ They basically paved the way for Alternative and the last generation of good rock in the nineties, and what do they do?

❝ This is, in a nutshell, the essence of The White Stripes, and of Elephant, the latest work by the black and white duo—an album full of songs worthy of the top spots on European charts, with the single “Seven Nation Army” as the crowning jewel

❝ Somehow, the stripped-down and lo-fi production of the album (veeeeery low-fi, it sounds like it was recorded in a basement...) works, works great.

❝ their music, to be authentic, must not be corrected in any way.

❝ Call it whatever you want. For me, the right name is: Maturity...

❝ He looks like Jesus Christ, for crying out loud.

❝ After 1992, they will never be so mean, sinister, wild, heavy again: a true and apocalyptic sonic orgasm.

❝ “Duane told me he needed me to keep the band in line and write some songs. It was the best compliment my brother ever gave me.” (Greg Allman)

❝ Whiskey instead of LSD.

❝ Do you want The Allman Brothers Band with the original line-up and at their peak? Well, this is the album for you!!!

❝ Michael Schenker seems to be unstoppable and released in 1982 what many call the best album of the Michael Schenker Group: 'Assault Attack'.

❝ Here we are in the year 1981: the Michael Schenker Group releases their second album: MSG, perhaps even more beautiful than the first!

❝ To debut like this is every guitarist’s dream.

❝ "Moontan" makes Golden Earring an international phenomenon, a global sensation.

❝ This is the midpoint between Led Zeppelin and Metallica.

❝ In short, a wasted opportunity that still cries for revenge today.

❝ "Canterbury" was a kind of protected and unspoiled oasis in the English heavy metal scene of the time.

❝ I hope to do justice in describing this masterpiece, which I obviously recommend to all lovers of 70s hard rock, but generally to all music enthusiasts.

❝ “So many lies and contradictions rage in our lives;”

❝ Ah, time... If it's true that it's the cure for all ills, it's equally true that it can erode everything and consign the beautiful things to oblivion.

❝ A pivotal album in the underground scene and in the broader sense of English progressive: all of this is 'Wasa-Wasa', released in 1969 and produced by Peter Jenner, who was already the manager of Pink Floyd.

❝ I am speechless. Mother of all albums, a real kick-ass record.

❝ This is great rock’n’roll, and if anyone thinks otherwise, they can just fuck off.

❝ a group capable of producing genuine hit singles while following in the footsteps of legendary acts such as Aerosmith and Van Halen with a distinctly personal touch, influenced in the string department by the impact typical of the NWOBHM.

❝

This is the first album that absolutely puts the electric guitar at the center of attention, a forerunner of works of the caliber of Are You Experienced and Texas Flood, to name a few, and a precursor of genres and trends that would prevail for over a decade.

❝

Much, much honor and respect for them, history of rock.

❝

The Yardbirds were incredible.

❝ Glenn is my favorite white singer

❝ A true Artist. A voice given by the Gods.

❝ In conclusion, this is one of those live albums every rock music enthusiast should own, from an artist who survived the test of time and who, even now, on the cusp of sixty, continues to produce valid albums and unforgettable live performances.

❝ Impossible not to affirm that what comes out is an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Year 1968, “Wheels Of Fire” by the British Cream. The pinnacle of their short but very dense career.

❝ Cream’s performances are intense and captivating, with extremely long solos and improvisations at the end, at high volume and energy.

❝ The Kinks have given us many little pop gems and Ray Davies was a genius. Period.

❝ It's time to rediscover them, isn't it?

❝ Known mostly thanks to the seminal riff of "You Really Got Me", the Kinks have gone even further, releasing throughout their career several examples of undisputed compositional talent, with an energetic and peculiar sound, that today serve as a true "beacon" for many bands.

❝ “Love Song” is among my favorites from those years.

❝ I’ve never heard such hard rock in my life.

❝ Thus was born the precursor to MTV’s successful “Unplugged” series (or EmptyV, if you prefer) and one of the most interesting live albums in the history of this genre: “Five Man Acoustical Jam”.

❝ “Don’t Think It Matters” is a boogie, one of the thousand conceived and recorded by this historic British group; and it’s the best episode I know of theirs, even better than the famous “Whatever You Want,” which enjoys much higher historical memory.

❝ They may not be the most famous, but snubbing a band like them is sad. Very sad.

❝ they always followed their path, indifferent to the criticism, without ever betraying their sound and rock 'n' roll roots.

❝ Winning team doesn't change, and it's well known what to expect from a band like this: a beautiful blend of hard'n'heavy mixed with lots of melody and a voice eternally indebted to the blues.

❝ "Summertime Girls," one of the most famous tracks in the Californians' discography, with its chorus and keyboards taking center stage.

❝ The tracks are all smooth, fast, and certainly don't disappoint a listener who enjoys the genre leaning towards more melodic Hard and Hair Metal.
