| | Axel Rudi Pell Knights Live CD Axel Rudi Pell Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Why is it that when Axel Rudi Pell plays live, his act is more reminiscent of Ronnie James Dio with an amazing guitar player than it is the generic brand of heavy metal he is usually associated with? Knights Live, despite it's sometimes ridiculous stage banter -- that recalls the excesses of Ted Nugent's vocalist Derek St. Holmes in the 1970s -- offers a completely unadorned, unvarnished concert recording. This thing kicks ass. Forget Yngwie, Pell's brand of tough, overdriven , balls-out rock is exactly what the heavy genre needs infused into its veins. There is no pose, no image, no sword-and-sorcery nonsense -- despite the title and the cover -- to make it precious. Instead, there is nothing but the desire to offer a no-net performance of tracks from all of his solo albums to create an atmosphere of seeming danger and amicable hedonism. Pell can play; he is more than a virtuoso, he is an encyclopedia of hard rock guitar history, and his expression of it is tasteful and gutsy. This set is a fantastic introduction to a true stylist and a rock & roll-never-say-die warrior. ~ Thom Jurek

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Finally, a real LIVE CD
I'm going on record to say, SPV records have the BEST heavy metal artists today! Knights Live is indeed an authentic live recording. They left in everything. There is a few times where you can hear the group mess up, or hear the feedback from the speakers. These are some of the little things that are a part of the intimate live experience. They even left in the drum and keyboard solos. This kind of slowed things down, but solidified the continuity of the show. Pell and his band have great chemistry on stage and sound like their having a blast. The songs are well written and arranged. I thought the album was a bit short (11 tracks) for a career that spans 13 albums, but what Axel Rudi Pell lacks in quantity, they make up for in quality. It's time for the U.S. to hear what's tearing up the metal world overseas.

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."

Knights Live music CDs
$9.69
Channeling vintage Judas Priest while adding a touch of thrash metal dynamics and layered vocals, Primal Fear comes galloping out of the metal underground once again on Black Sun. By concentrating just a little bit harder on the heaviness of the music, the band manages to deliver a more consistently engaging product than many of their contemporaries in the power metal field. The abrasive riffing is nicely offset by the melodic guitar work, which brings to mind late-'80s Joe Satriani with its clear phrasing and fluid ...

Despite changing personnel for the second consecutive album, Static-X has successfully continued down the path of hard-charging industrial rock on their third album, SHADOW ZONE. In an odd move, drummer Nick Oshiro is named in the liner notes as the departed Ken Jay's replacement despite the fact that A Perfect Circle's Josh Freese was responsible for all the drumming on this ...

Those who only know Udo Dirkschneider from his German metal band Accept, which (via "Balls to the Wall") enjoyed a shimmer of success during the '80s metal heyday in the U.S., won't find any surprises with his newer project, U.D.O. The latter group's genesis actually goes back to the late '80s, after the split of Accept (who would reunite in the mid-'90s). Many '80s metallers had a tendency to dismiss their lumpen roots in later years; Rob Halford explored Trent Reznor-like industrial music in the wake of Judas Priest, while Tommy Lee went all indie rock and emo on 2005's Tommyland. Dirkschneider is woefully unbound by the tides of taste, however: the gargled, glassy shriek and power chords you hear on Mission No. X ("mission number ten") are precisely the same flourishes ...
