How well do you know your 1984 albums?

FORD will be along soon to declare that is "cheese."

Reminded me of Journey the first time I heard it.

[FORD]

Guiffria was a spin off of 70's glam band "Angel". Those guys invented cheese long before Journey ever thought of hiring a pussy like Jonathan Cain.

Don't forget about this "connection:"

Production had to be rushed on Van Halen, because Eddie had mistakenly let the band Angel hear You Really Got Me at drummer Barry Brandt’s house before the album was finished. Both bands raced to put out their own cover of the song.

That whole fashion of playing a different keyboard with each hand on either side of you was ridiculous.

Forgot that was Angel, their version would have been shit anyway.

I have been setting up my 'boards in different configurations, tried that setup but didn't like it. Will probably go with an "L."

Not a big fan of the keyboard but they work in some songs. I prefer piano.

[Seshmeister]

I guess it was so he wasn't hidden behind them and you could see his ridiculous costumes. An L is far more sensible.

I think the most keyboards I ever played live was 3 and that would be 2 in front of me and one to the side.

They're cheesy but this song's not as cheesy as the one I posted from Guiffra.

That was pre- or very early in the time of MIDI. Want two sounds now? Just stack 'em up on the same MIDI channel.

I'm trying to figure out which four boards I want on my two Deltex stands. This isn't even live, it's just to play at home! At least two will be controlling modules in a rack, and I gotta figure out where I want that.

That 'call to your heart' video is impossibly ghey.

Angel was pretty corny, but they did manage to put out a couple of albums in the 70s that were not bad.

In other words they were mediocre. I saw something interesting about the origins of Angel. The lead guitarist Punky Meadows was previously in a band called The Cherry People. The Cherry People were "discovered" playing a gig at New York's Cafe Wha?. I'm sure most of the members of this site know Cafe Wha was owned By Diamond Dave's uncle Manny Roth. They put out one album in 1968 but the members weren't happy with it because of it's bubble gum sound. Here's an example of that.

Interesting tidbit.
