378.0. "Front, The" by VCSESU::COOK (We have other uses for you darling...) Fri Mar 16 1990 09:03

    
    Well, I might as well start it. The Front backed up Alice Cooper 
    the other night. Their song "Fire" has been getting some airplay.
    He said at the show that they've been up and down the east coast
    3 times.
    
    They didn't hit me as a typical pop metal band, some of their
    stuff had some great changes in it that really threw me off.
    
    I also thought the drummer was excellent.

	I saw The Front at Axis about a month or two ago. I thought these guys were pretty good considering I only knew one song they did. I thought the singer had great stage presence. Does anyone have their tape? And, if so could you give me a review? I was thinking of picking this one up. - Kim
378.2	Another vote for The Front	NAVIER::STARR	And I'm telling you I'm not going...	`Fri Mar 16 1990 16:42`	7
	I also was impressed by The Front live. The show at the Orpheum is everything I would want in an opening band - good, clean sound; good songs; an energetic stage show; and even a good cover tune ("Sunshine of Your Love"). I'll have to pick up the album and check it out..... alan
378.3	FINALY! an album that's good ALL the way through!	DASXPS::SASCHROEDER	From the Moon we're comedy	`Fri Mar 16 1990 18:17`	9
	I highly recomend their album - I picked up the cassette in Strawberries. Definetely a "rocker" album. Play it LOUD! p.s.- better get in on this group soon - from how good they are (IMO) they won't last, some producer's bound to f*ck them up! ;^)
378.5		NAVIER::STARR	And I'm telling you I'm not going...	`Mon Mar 19 1990 10:56`	5
	> BTW, they hail from Houston, Texas. I was told they're from Kansas City! Hmmmm.... alan
378.7		CHIPS::PERTAG		`Mon Mar 19 1990 14:21`	3
	I thought it was Kansas too. - Kim
378.8	there was a reference to Texas....	NAVIER::STARR	And I'm telling you I'm not going...	`Mon Mar 19 1990 14:30`	9
	re: Pete I'm trying to remember what was said. I think it was something like "We started this tour in Houston", and then went on to say how much they liked the crowd here, etc. Not sure, but I think that's right... alan
378.10		MILKWY::SLABOUNTY	Heavy_Metal power - 240 watts!!	`Tue Mar 27 1990 12:37`	6
	I wish the radio stations would play something other than "Fire" so I could get an idea of the other stuff they do. GTI
378.12	a bunch sounded good live!	NAVIER::STARR	And I'm telling you I'm not going...	`Tue Mar 27 1990 13:58`	9
	> Some of the stuff I heard at the show was better than that tune. > What do you think Alan? I'll double that. In fact, I thought "Fire" was one of the weakest songs in their set. However, it does sound pretty good on the radio. Although I haven't heard the album yet, I imagine that if you like the recent Cult output, you'll also be happy with the Front's album. alan
378.13	if you like Fire, you'll like the whole album	DASXPS::SASCHROEDER	From the Moon we're comedy	`Mon Apr 02 1990 23:41`	2
	It's a very good album - I say buy it.
378.14		MILKWY::SLABOUNTY	Save a tree, say no to FF's!!	`Fri Apr 27 1990 11:06`	9
	I heard another song by them last night, but I don't rem- ember what it was. I do know that I liked it though ... I might have to get this album. GTI
