Review Boston: "Walk On" -- I dismissed it at first...
He does ok but I seriously think that Scholz is going senile if he thinks DeCarlo is good enough to meet his famous high standard of quality. Vocals are by far their biggest weakness when playing live.- eicca

Review Boston: "Walk On" -- I dismissed it at first...
Something about Boston just rings deep in my soul. I'm completely obsessed. Maybe it's Tom Scholz's classical training and huge arena rock format and beautiful guitar tone, I don't know, but I'm hooked... To say the least, I was disappointed in the 2013 album "Life, Love & Hope." To me it...- eicca

Review Toto XIV (2015)
I don't even know where to begin....... In one word: Art. In two words: Pure musicianship. In a paragraph: Don't put it on shuffle; it's a wild ride that is carefully crafted to take off with some good energy, then blow your brains all over the wall, get down and groove, trip you out, lift...- eicca

Mike Porcaro passed away
Found out via Steve Lukather's Twitter feed that longtime Toto bassist Mike Porcaro recently passed away, likely due to ALS. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Porcaro family today.- eicca

For all you who've ever tried... The Boston Tone. Here it is.
So after HOURS of hashing away at various flavors of overdrives with a 31-band EQ and never really quite getting that delicious Boston tone dialed in (and figuring there had to be an easier way to boot 'cause Tom Scholz did it with just 60s rigs), I finally figured it out: Overdrive > Cabinet >...- eicca

Bands that you'd rather listen to live than in the studio?
So far the only bands I can think of whose live experience is better than their studio stuff are Toto and Chicago... Who do you recommend?- eicca

Thread Closed What Are You Listening To?
Toto: "Burn" from Toto XIV The first song in a long time that has actually left me breathless. Pop feel on the surface, very cool use of form and layers when you dig deep. cSNM5_5jP3Q- eicca

Review Boston - Life, Love & Hope (2013)
Let me begin by saying that I am probably one of Boston's biggest fans on the planet. Boston, Don't Look Back and Third Stage hold the top three spots on my music wall of fame. Anyway, I've been waiting YEARS for Life, Love & Hope and finally listened to it today while running wire for my...- eicca

Riff Identity Crisis!!
Aaaaag... It's soooo close... Definitely uses a few of the same lines as "Jump"... But I know there's a song out there that uses the first eight seconds of "Never Walk Away" almost verbatim. Good song though!- eicca

Riff Identity Crisis!!
Alright, so take a listen to the opening riff in Journey's "Never Walk Away" (that's a link, by the way). I swear on my life this riff has been used somewhere else. I know I've heard it before. Usually when I get that I-know-I've-heard-this-before feeling it goes away after a while, but after...- eicca

Greetings, musicians!
Just stopping in to share in the awesome. Just a little about me, I like any band that writes with a positive feel, using well thought out musicality and good structure. So basically I like Boston, Journey, Def Leppard, Chicago, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, U2, Kansas, Muse, and Alter Bridge. As...- eicca
