The Screamin' Lords Interview

From: Jose Ferro, Band leader, Bass player, Song writer

 

This debut CD, Long Live Me, came together with an extremely talented core band and impressive selection of guest artists, which includes guitarists George Lynch (Lynch Mob, Dokken), Chris Poland (OHM, Megadeth), Gus G. (Firewind, Dream Evil), Loren Molinare (Little Caesar, The Dogs), and lead vocalists Robin McAuley (Survivor, MSG) and Kelly Keeling (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Lynch Mob, MSG). The results of this venture speak for themselves—outstanding musicianship, exceptional performances, and most importantly, a collection of excellent tunes which spotlight each of the players.

"The full-tilt rock & roll attack from this foursome, complete with searing, old-school soloing, is something to behold." - Music Connection.com


The Screamin' Lords - "Long Live Me is a fabulous trip back to the days when "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" meant much, much more than an "edgy" phrase emblazoned upon t-shirts for sale at Target." - Michael Molenda, Editor In Chief - Guitar Player


"For an eight-tracker, this album is 100% switched on. No time or room for soppy ballads, just head-on rock n roll. Taking riffs out of the yesteryear songbooks, you'll feel right at home if classic rock a la Judas Priest, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Ted Nugent is your bag." - Hardrock Hideout.com


"The Screamin' Lords bring the past and the future together in one sweeping moment, leaving you breathless and gasping for air. That's when you realize that... You are in the NOW!" Scott Thomas - Guitarz Forever.com


"If you want to relive the glory years when rock music was at its commercial peak then look no further than Long Live Me. They may be new to the scene, but The Screamin' Lords have nailed down a sound that made countless groups superstars in the early 90s. 'Long live' The Screamin' Lords, because I can't wait for their next release!" - Sleaze Roxx.com


"Final verdict, Solid stuff with a great production." - Urban "Wally" Wallstrom Rock United.com


"If you dig a serious seek-and-destroy approach to rock 'n' roll, you'll get the goods on the debut album from The Screamin' Lords."
John Levy – Guitar Player Magazine


"Long Live Me" is the embodiment of hard rock, with all the power, sleaze, and vitality you need...and jaw-dropping guitar solos.
F**kin' A." -  Charlie "Gnarly" Steffens - KNAC.COM


"This is just a pure no frills kick ass rock n roll band with no jump metal, no trends and just plain kicked my ass. The tunes are catchy, but still heavy and melodic and I am a sucker for a good riff and this had great riff after great riff." - Ball Buster Hard Music.com


"Bombastic! The word that comes to mind while I was cranking the Screamin' Lords CD. The songs and the musicianship kicks ass!"
Erik Turner – Guitarist WARRANT

Sleeze Roxx.com  This is the third year that I've compiled a list of my favorite CDs, and so far this has been the hardest one to do. There was so much great music in 2007 that narrowing the list down to just ten was almost impossible. I thought about expanding to 20 albums, and even adding some honorable mentions, but finally decided to keep things as they were - simple and too the point.

2007 was an eventful year for hard rock fans, with the return of many hair metal musicians and the loss of several others. It seems like every band that ever dreamed of making it big during metal's 80s reign has decided to return to recapture some of their former magic. However you can't overlook the endless stream of new groups rising from the ashes, of which the majority seem to hail from Sweden. If exceptional CDs by Great White and Adrenaline Factor failed to make the grade, then you know just how great 2007 was for hard rock fans!

10. THE SCREAMIN' LORDS - Long Live Me
CD Review - Band Website

The Screamin' Lords come second to only Crazy Lixx when it comes to capturing the sound of the 80s metal/hard rock heyday. And helping this new band capture that sound are vocalists Kelly Keeling (Baton Rouge) and Robin McAuley (MSG), two veterans from that time frame. It is great to see a hungry new band squeeze out the best from some long forgotten veterans. Last year McAuley helped the Demon Angels to manage that feat, and this year he does it again with The Screamin' Lords.
