- Just a short comment. Yes, you're right about the stuff not being "original",
- but that's actually what I said:
-
- >>If you like(d) Bad Company, mix it with something a little Coverdaleish,
- >>some great riffs, a very good sound - and you've got Thunder!
-
- AND, IMHO, I still think it's one of the best Special Guest Stars I've heard,
- usually they're so bad that ANY band would sound good after that - which
- probably is the purpose. It was true in this case, too, at least Extreme,
- with all the variations in their music, sounded different.
-
- SO, at least, don't skip the concert just because Thunder is there :-)
