The 1985 Listening Post - Keel - The Right to Rock

Keel - The Right to Rock


#85
March 26 1985
Keel
The Right to Rock
2.25 out of 5



“The Right to Rock” is straight out of the ACDC playbook. Except that Ron Keel isn’t Brian Johnson. Instead, he sounds like he’s trying not to throw up while impersonating every 80s metal voice he’s ever heard. 
Is this just a Twisted Sister wannabe band? They prove that Gene Simmons is a shittier producer than he is a songwriter and he co-writes half the songs on this album. Listen to “Easier Said than Done”. It’s 80s era Kiss. I mean, it sounds JUST like Kiss. How did it not end up on a Kiss record? Did it? I mean, it sounds like every other Kiss song from the era. 
The rest of this is exactly what you’d expect. (Although the lead singer is marginally better than Graham Bonnet)














Just seeing if you’re paying attention.
