The legendary
powerhouse that almost made it big time back then!
HOUSE OF LORDS –
Named by Gene Simmons and signed to his label, they were bound to
succeed… And even though they failed to deliver that no. 1 hit back
then they sure haven’t been forgotten!
HOUSE OF LORDS are
and always will be a household name in the world of Hard Rock –
always sure to satisfy any ol’ craving for incisive melodies, hooks
galore and an attitude unparalleled!
James Christian’s unique vocal capabilities, Gregg Giuffria’s
over-the-top keyboard playing, Ken Mary’s spine-chilling drum fills
and Lanny Cordola’s jazz-inspired guitar solos all added to the
widely spectacular formula that constitued HOUSE OF LORDS….
After a long hiatus
during the musically exhausted 90s the band returned to critical
acclaim with ”The Power and the Myth” and, to make a long story
short, went on tour anew… That tour, in Greece and in the UK
delivered memorable shows which adduced the classics and finally led
to this, their first ever live recording… And what a fabulous
album!!
Personally I’m all
nostalgic here listening to hit after hit showcasing all the finest
moments from their 3 initial albums… The intriguingly beautiful
”Love Don’t Lie” (Written by none other than Stan Bush), the melodic
orgasm of ”I Wanna be Loved” to the Led Zeppelin/Whitesnake hybrid
of ”Chain of Love” – It’s all here! Everything that HOUSE OF LORDS
stood for!
This is truly an
album for all the Hard Rock nostalgics in here… They’ve preserved
the late 80s sound and they really put you in that time machine
leading back to you know when!
