Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
i'm really not going to listen to this song to be sure but To Be With You doesn't have those charecteristic huge drums and wailing guitar solos. it's a subdued ballad à la More Than Words (:puke:). what i call a power ballad would be more along the lines of Motley Crue (Home Sweet Home, Without You) or I Remember You by Skid Row or Something To Believe In by Poison (sorry fellas if it brings you bad memories).Tass Man wrote:ok... but if a song encapsulates what an 80's power ballad is, that would surely be one of them, regardless if it "missed" by a couple of yearsLament wrote:To Be With You was a hit in 1992.Tass Man wrote:ya i did not get that impression at all..harmless wrote:How many people who think this is an "80s power ballad" read the reviews which said it was an 80s power ballad?
after everyone was saying 80's power ballad, i was expecting to hear "To Be With You" or something.... if anything, it seems more 90's to me than 80's

Re: New Song (9.19.13): Sirens
I do actually know that song. My dad played a shitload of Bryan Adams in the car when I was growing up. We actually took him to see B. Adams (as my brother and I refer to him) in 2008 for Father's Day or something. It was a small acoustic show at B.B. King's in Orlando. I won't go into my take away from the show, as I respect your love of his work.harmless wrote:Summer of '69 is better. 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started' is best.

The first CD I ever got was Bryan Adams' "Waking Up the Neighbours".
The second was Pearl Jam's "10".
It's been all down hill from there.
