In support of their European tour, the band recorded a new song and a
cover song and Kenny was giving these away to some special friends and I happen
to get one (Tak!!). The title track (See video below) starts things off with a solo, a thumping
bass line and a relaxed vocal to start. The music builds up nicely as the vocal
also becomes more powerful. Nice harmony guitars and a bit of Thin Lizzy
vibe. How cool for the band to choose to
cover, This is your Song from the Fly to the Rainbow album by the Scorpions. So
how do they manage? Musically they perform it a bit too close to the original
with the same tempo and nearly the same guitar solo as well. Vocally, I have to
say, it is quite difficult to compare to Klaus Meine. Good choice of tracks to cover but not even
close to as good as the original. Rather
than just do an exact copy, they should have tried to make it their own some
how.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
