At least with that stuff, you could treat it as the work of another band entirely, since Peterson was the only surviving member of the original BC.<br /><br />But with this era of the group, you're forced to endure increasingly senile repetitions of the classic material, all the while witnessing the clueless and clumsy attempts at staying relevant by trying to cop some of Motorhead's bluesy biker metal vibe. While no one doubts the authenticity of Peterson's "street" persona, he sure ain't no Phil Lynott, much less Lemmy.

Heart of the..."Proceed at your own risk."<br />Heart of the City has a more than decent riff, so the 80's style shredding doesn't bother me at all. Moreover the coda is all but stereotypal glamrock with that clever acceleration, forcing Rainier to pull off some non-trivial pyrotechnics quite non-typical for hair-metal. What puts me off is the annoying backbeat drumming. Why not some nice rolls?MNbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427385535099104405noreply@blogger.com
