This House Is Not For Sale (2016) - Post First Single Release Album Discussion

I posted some news in other bands section you may like....

Made my day, too. I think it's a very nice gesture from both Jon and Richie.

"Pure class" pretty much says it all.

Classy behavior from both parties involved. I think a guest appearance at a live is more likely than a permanent comeback in the near future, though, but good to see they're on friendly terms.

There's no way he didn't listen to it

I hadn't thought about it until I saw this post in General Discussion; but does anybody else find it interesting that this exchange between Richie and Jon happened today?

"On this very day 30 years ago a band from New Jersey released their third album: Slippery When Wet!

Not only did it become one of the bestselling hard rock albums of all time, it also launched the band into superstardom and brought rock music back into mainstream radio."

Feeling a little nostalgic there, boyz?

For those of you who aren't familiar with vocal removing programs I ran the chorus of THINFS in Goldwave. David sings the high harmony while Jon himself singing the harmony during the "this house is not for sale"-lines.

Nothing spectacular, but uploaded it for those who'd like to hear

I have to say it made me very happy how richie congratulated jon and the band for the new music. Its a sense of relief and comfort that both parties are content of where they are now. Both showed class and respect for each other

So this does not intend to offend anyone! Just the scribbles of someone very bored at work today...

My alternative lyrics to THINFS.

This new song has got the same old smell
Oooooh Oooooh
You wanted something different? Ain’t no chance in hell
Oooooh Oooooh
Another anthem pop track, my faith has expired,
Another gem from Shanks, the one and only one,
I know, I know...
That man does not know shame!

Why Richie left, was he hammered on stage?
This Song does not explain
Is John Shanks now the new King of Swing?
This song does not explain
It’s getting old
It’s getting old

This is Shank’s band now so Have a Nice Day,
Oooooh Oooooh
Step outside The Circle while he digs our grave,
Oooooh Oooooh
Whatever happened to the man who said Keep The Faith?
These days he’s looking Crush-ed, won’t Bounce back anymore
New album, this fall
Looks like it will be lame!

Why Richie left, was he hammered on stage?
This Song does not explain
After 30 years did he turn the page?
This song does not explain
It’s getting old
It’s getting old

This time, it’s Rich or bust
That’s what it is and always was
And case in point, just listen how
This solo tries, to rip-off Richie’s sound!

Why Richie left, was he hammered on stage?
This Song does not explain
Will he stand again next to Captain Kid?
This song does not explain
I'm getting old
I'm getting old...

Pretty good on the one hand, and kind of pathetic on the other hand

It kinda annoys me that the intro is too similar to HAND's. There is only a chord missing and it's exactly the same. They could have changed it a little bit, to not be that obvious...
