Second Sighting
''Second Sighting'' is the third solo album by Ace Frehley and last to use the Frehley's Comet moniker. Due to Frehley's illness and substance abuse during the recording, Tod Howarth took a bigger role in singing and songwriting than on the previous album.https://www.metaledgemag.com/interviews/we-did-the-best-we-could-the-wild-story-behind-the-making-of-frehleys-comets-second-sighting ''Second Sighting'' was recorded with new drummer Jamie Oldaker, who had previously worked with Bob Seger and Eric Clapton.

Your Filthy Little Mouth
''Your Filthy Little Mouth'' is the fourth full-length studio LP by David Lee Roth, then the former lead singer of the American rock band Van Halen. It was produced by Nile Rodgers whose work had included David Bowie and Madonna, and released in 1994 by Reprise Records. Overview Released near Roth's critical and commercial nadir, ''Your Filthy Little Mouth'' did not conform to the expectations of rock music during 1994 (such as grunge rock), nor to the public's perception of Roth. The album features stripped-down arrangements that can be categorized as diversely as jazz fusion, dance, country, reggae, R&B, big band, rock, and blues. However, the commercial specialization of TV and radio formats during the early 1990s left such diverse albums with few options for airplay. The B-Side to "She's My Machine", an atmospheric blues song titled "Mississippi Power", is available on the Japanese release. Reception At the time of its release in 1994, ''Your Filthy Little Mouth' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
