EXCELLENT CD, I would recommend it to anyone to buy it if you are a huge Styx fan like I am!
Free Music Review: -=- There's Something Sexy About Girls With Guns -=- Hit: 4 Stars
This is Tommy Shaw's first solo release after he initially departed the band Styx. The music is very 80s, but good 80s. All of the songs are pretty good, if you are a fan of Shaw or what he did with Styx. If you are not a Styx or Tommy fan, you might not like some of the songs here. The title song is the most known song from this release. The video that was released in 1984 when this first came out was a continuous shot, with no cuts, after the initial video was canned because Tommy thought that it was not really him. The album has a couple of ballads that are decent. The CD was out of print for a while, so I would suggest getting it if you are a fan.
Free Music Review: Excellent Re-Issue Hit: 4 Stars
Recently, this cd was on E-bay for at least $60-$200.00 for "die-hard" Tommy Shaw plans. There was a cry to reissue, which was recently done. The title track, "Girls with Guns," is an excellent showcase for Tommy's voice and his "will to rock", which in my opinion of reading many articles about him feeling "stifled" in "STYK" for not being able to be as creative as he'd like. "Lonely School" is another great song. You can really feel that he had a blast making this album. And although it's 24 years old, the sound is great and definitley a must for any "Tommy Shaw" fan.
Free Music Review: Tommy's girl with guns Hit: 4 Stars
I was already a fan of Tommy Shaw from STYX. When I first saw his "Girls with Guns" video on MTV back in the 80's, I was hooked. It is very catchy. I lost track of both Tommy and STYX for a while until I saw Styx's "One with Everything" concert with Contemporary Youth Orchestra and that re-ignited my love for them and I remembered Tommy had a solo album. I had to have it and I wasn't disappointed. I can't tell you how many times I've played it so far...
Free Music Review: good album, badly produced though Hit: 3 Stars
Tommy chose produce: Mike Stone (of Asia fame).
Bad choice, very echoey sounding, "thin". I wish he had just re-produced this himself. He went on a year latet to produce his 2nd album "What If" and it is 100% better.
The sounds here are good, nothing really excellent. Not a bad album and worth buying.
For better Tommy Shaw, get "what if" and "Ambition", far superior albums, but agian, this one aint too shabby.
