Kick Axe
Rock the World
Genre: Glam Metal
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Rock the World
The Chain
I will never understand why Kick Axe wasn’t a household name in the 80s. Their stuff is fun, metaltastic and, while every other band seems to badly covering 60s standards like Seger’s “Fortunate Son” cover, which just proved that he always wanted to be Fogerty and failed or all the bands covering “Gimme Some Lovin’” to terrible results or Jack Starr’s “Fire and Rain” cover that makes me want to die, Kick Axe understood how to take a classic and bring it to the 30,000 seat arena in their glam metal cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain”.
This album, like this genre, is the law of diminishing returns. The more you hear, the less engaging it is, sadly.
