TheyÆve been going for almost as ║ │ │║ long as IÆve been alive (longer if you include ║ │ │║ the band they originated as) and are pretty much ║ │ │║ part of the furniture in the House of Rock. Over ║ │ │║ that time, theyÆve influenced countless other ║ │ │║ acts, but itÆs interesting to discover many of ║ │ │║ the bands and songs that they like. And hence we ║ │ │║ have Legends, thirty-two covers of larger and ║ │ │║ lesser known tracks by a ton of bands youÆll ║ │ │║ know. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Hans Ziller, the only founding member of the ║ │ │║ band remaining, had a plan to do a big concert ║ │ │║ tour with a wealth of guest appearances. Bonfire ║ │ │║ would do the music, the original vocalists would ║ │ │║ appear and ply their trade. Organising something ║ │ │║ like this is a nightmare and Legends is the next ║ │ │║ best thing. Originally an exercise in recording ║ │ │║ the songs so that the band could become familiar ║ │ │║ with the material, plans changed and they ║ │ │║ performed the songs entirely as Bonfire û with ║ │ │║ Alex Stahl on vocals, Hans Ziller and Frank PanΘ ║ │ │║ on guitars, Ronnie Parkes on bass, Tim ║ │ │║ Breideband on drums and the addition of Paul ║ │ │║ Morris on keyboards. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So we know the musicianship is going to be top ║ │ │║ notch, but how much fun can a covers album be? ║ │ │║ Wellà pretty good fun, actually. Bonfire stamp ║ │ │║ their mark on each song, and this is apparent ║ │ │║ from the off with a very individual version of ║ │ │║ TotoÆs signature ôAfricaö. ThereÆs no mistaking ║ │ │║ this for a band trying to copy the original. As ║ │ │║ an opener itÆs brilliant. Brash, big and ║ │ │║ entirely unlike its source material, the first ║ │ │║ 15 second or so sound more like The DarknessÆs ║ │ │║ ôLove Is Only A Feelingö than a piece of 80Æs ║ │ │║ melodic balladry. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ And the choice of songs is superb. If youÆd ║ │ │║ chucked the originals on here, youÆd have a ║ │ │║ great compilation album with artists ranging ║ │ │║ from Grave Digger and Queensryche to UFO and ║ │ │║ Survivor. It really is a hell of a collection. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ IÆve had a ton of fun listening to this album ║ │ │║ and itÆs made its way onto the in-car ║ │ │║ entertainment system (a.k.a. my phone) which is ║ │ │║ a rare honour. Quality musicianship and not a ║ │ │║ duff track to be heard. ItÆs nice for a band to ║ │ │║ let loose, try something new and have it work so ║ │ │║ well. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Mosh for www.moshville.co.uk ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Alexx Stahl - Vocals ║ │ │║ Hans Ziller - Guitars ║ │ │║ Ronnie Parkes - Bass ║ │ │║ Tim Breideband - Drums ║ │ │║ Frank PanΘ - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ - CD1 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Africa (Toto) [04:54] │ │ 02 - Hold The Line (Toto) [04:10] │ │ 03 - Rosanna (Toto) [05:38] │ │ 04 - Man On The Silver Mountain (Rainbow) [03:58] │ │ 05 - I Surrender (Rainbow) [03:45] │ │ 06 - Stone Cold (Rainbow) [04:40] │ │ 07 - Death Alley Driver (Rainbow) [04:28] │ │ 08 - Black Masquerade (Rainbow) [05:43] │ │ 09 - Burning Heart (Survivor) [03:55] │ │ 10 - Eye Of The Tiger (Survivor) [04:36] │ │ 11 - Caught In The Game (Survivor) [04:32] │ │ 12 - Doctor Doctor (UFO) [04:29] │ │ 13 - Lights Out (UFO) [05:27] │ │ 14 - Rock Bottom (UFO) [06:32] │ │ 15 - Child In Time (Deep Purple) [10:19] │ │ - [ ] │ │ - CD2 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Jet City Woman (Queensryche) [05:19] │ │ 02 - Silent Lucidity (Queensryche) [05:44] │ │ 03 - Eyes Of A Stranger (Queensryche) [07:18] │ │ 04 - Tears In The Sun (Robin Beck) [04:35] │ │ 05 - The First Time (Robin Beck) [03:18] │ │ 06 - Save Up All Your Tears (Robin Beck) [04:12] │ │ 07 - Hot Cherie (Hardline) [04:37] │ │ 08 - Dr. Love (Hardline) [05:50] │ │ 09 - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) [05:06] │ │ 10 - Rebellion (Grave Digger) [04:21] │ │ 11 - Heavy Metal Breakdown (Grave Digger) [03:51] │ │ 12 - Love Don┤t Lie (House Of Lords) [03:42] │ │ 13 - I Wanna Be Loved (House Of Lords) [03:29] │ │ 14 - King Of Dreams (Deep Purple) [04:56] │ │ 15 - Frei Wie Die (Puhdys) [04:27] │ │ 16 - Einnerung (Puhdys) [05:51] │ │ 17 - Alt Wie Baum (Puhdys) [02:49] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [156:3] min │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
