PRETTY MAIDS - Undress Your Madness (8 novembre 2019)

Pochette degueu mais hate d'entendre ça !

Moi aussi. J'ai envie de croire à un retour du côté sombre de Pretty Maids, les albums guimauve ça commence à bien faire.

Pandomenium il était cool !!! Et mother of all lies de l'avant dernier c'est pas de la guimauve !

Pandemonium, il était bien. Motherland qui a suivi était mou comme une chique. Après je me souviens avoir trouvé ça assez générique, et les titres récents que j'avais entendus au Hellfest ne m'avaient vraiment pas transcendé. J'attends mieux.

Il était même très bon, Pandemonium !

Ouais, je connais pas le groupe mais à vous lire et à voir la note de ce Pandemonium, je comptais m'y essayer bientôt

Ptain, c'est pire cool! Du heavy pas bien subversif aux gros relents de AOR, c'est parfaitement ce qu'il me fallait!

Celui d'avant wake up to the real world est encore plus easy listening ca passe creme. Sur le suivant, la chanson Mother of all lies est une petite pépite !

J'avais bien aimé Kingmaker aussi!


Edith le réécoute et il est vraiment cool!

PRETTY MAIDS singer Ronnie Atkins has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Danish musician broke the news of his diagnosis earlier today via the band's Facebook page.

He wrote in an open letter to the PRETTY MAIDS fans: "It's scary how your world can be turned upside down in a couple of weeks.

"I went to my doctor for a routine check complaining about some back pains in mid-August. I then went through numerous scans, bronchoscopy, biopsies etc. and spent a lot of time waiting for answers in uncertainty. And so finally three weeks ago I found myself diagnosed with lung cancer.

"Now this has by all means been a shock to me, my family and those close to me since it came totally unexpected without any typical symptoms and everything just happened and developed so fast lately.

"I'm already in treatment and underwent surgery two weeks ago, then spend some 10 days in hospital with pneumonia as a consequence apparently linked to the surgery.

"According to the medical staff my prospects are good considering it's lung cancer. However, I will have to undertake further treatment the next couple of months to be on the safe side. This means that I unfortunately will have to step back from most musical activities concerts etc. for an indefinite period of time.

"I'm going into this with a positive mindset and with the continuing love and support from my family and friends I'm determined to battle this disease the best I can -God willing!"

According to PRETTY MAIDS, all of the band's previously announced shows have been canceled and all of the group's "plans are on hold." The band says: "ALL focus is now on Ronnie's health and undergoing treatment."

Formed in early 1982 by Atkins and guitarist Ken Hammer, PRETTY MAIDS quickly established itself as a band to be taken seriously. In April 1987, "Future World", the band's third album recorded in the USA, was released to great acclaim and is still today regarded as a "classic."

After the release of the follow-up album "Jump The Gun" (produced by DEEP PURPLE's Roger Glover), PRETTY MAIDS in 1991 were on the verge of a breakup. However, Hammer and Atkins found a new rhythm section and in 1992 released the "Sin - Decade", a record that would reveal that PRETTY MAIDS was still a force to be reckoned with, despite the fact that the metal scene now was overrun by the grunge movement. "Sin - Decade" became a huge success in Japan and gave the band a big radio hit with the single "Please Don't Leave Me", laying the foundation for the band in the East that would last for the next decade.

During the ensuing years, PRETTY MAIDS continued to release albums usually followed by European and Japanese tours.

In a 2013 interview with Myglobalmind, Atkins joked that the secret to keeping his voice in shape was "twenty cigarettes a day and little drink now and then."

PRETTY MAIDS' new album, "Undress Your Madness", is scheduled for release on November 8 via Frontiers Music Srl.

Je venais de le lire aussi...

Fumer, c'est mal (20 clopes par jour, bordos, tu parles d'un "secret" pour bien chanter...).
C'est triste. J'espère qu'il va s'en sortir, bien sûr, avec le moins de séquelles possibles. Et qu'il pourra rechanter un jour avec Pretty Maids. Croisons les doigts.

Ouais, bah il est mal quoi.

Pour ce qui est de l'impact du tabac sur le chant, ça dépend aussi beaucoup du style du chanteur. Atkins il faisait pas dans les ultras aigues, il a toujours eu ce timbre rauque, dans ça va bien avec le tabac.

personne ne réagit?
Ce titre est tellement bon

C'est vraiment chouette et super agréable, Pretty Maids!
Ce titre fait plus big rock que heavy metal, mais il est effectivement la coolitude!

Il est sorti! Première écoute en cours

Firesoul Fly est sympa. Shadowlands aussi. Les grosses grattes et le chant agressif sont de retour. Ça sera tout pour moi et c'est déjà pas mal: http://www.leseternels.net/chronique.aspx?id=18266

Je l'avais écouté plusieurs fois et c'était sympa mais vite oublié pour ma part.
Mais sympa quand même, j'y reviendrai à l'occasion.

Faudra que j'écoute ça, à l'occasion, j'aime bien la voix d'Atkins sur les derniers Avantasia mais n'ai jamais écouté d'album du groupe, juste "Future World" (le morceau).

Sinon, il a publié cette semaine qu'a priori, il s'était débarrassé du cancer.

Facebook a écrit:Some good news !

A couple of days ago I had the fantastic message that there are no more signs of cancer to be seen/tracked based on the scans that I had taken recently.
That’s the best news I have had in a long time, thank god
As for everyone who’s encountered cancer, I’m fully aware that it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m “homesafe” and the next 5 years are so to speak crucial, but nevertheless it’s a big step in the right direction and a great relief for me and my family.

To avoid or lower the chances of reoccurrences the doctors have reccomended me to undergo immunotherapy for the next year, which I’ve naturally agreed to and allready started up.

Now it’s time to recuperate, regain some strength and knock myself back into shape, witch I’m eager to do.
There will/might be some
sequelae that I have to deal with, but so be it. That’s life

With the risk of being accused of repeating myself I once again wanna express my sincere thanx to all of you out there ( my army of beautiful souls ) who’s been supporting me through out this with sweet greetings, messages, advice and prayers.
It’s been heart warming and I’m forever grateful

Ça fait plaisir à lire.

Parce que quand même, Future World est l'un des meilleurs albums du groupe malgré sa tendance au racolage, la saga de Pretty Maids devait être poursuivie: http://www.leseternels.net/chronique.aspx?id=18302

J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à lire ça.
