Heavy Pettin - Rock Ain't Dead flac album

Rock Ain’t Dead, 1985. Walkin with Angels, 03:40.

Rock Ain't Dead is probably the greatest 'lost gem' of 80s rock. probably the greatest 12 minutes in 80s rock. If this had been released anytime after '86 I feel it would've been a commercial smash. There will never be another album as strong as this one. For anybody who owns a copy of this, rock truly will never be dead. From: Guadalupe Alvar. Date: July 31, 2001 at 22:11. I saw the video for "Rock Ain't Dead" yesterday on VH1 Classic's Metal Mania hour. Now I remember why I don't have this album - Hamie has one of the worst voices I've ever heard! Which is a shame, because musically they were pretty good.

Heavy Pettin’ followed Lettin’ Loose with Rock Ain’t Dead in 1985, and it stands as significantly stronger than their debut. The production is much better, the songwriting more is more thought-out and everything just seems more professional and complex. This is most likely because Heavy Pettin’ really began picking up on the Airplay-Oriented rock trend that groups like Journey and Foreigner had brought to massive acclaim. The only problem with this album is that most of the songs not mentioned above, while well-composed and a good listen, are somewhat boring to play more than once in a sitting. Heavy Pettin’ make great party music, but their more complex AOR tracks, as intriguing as they are, are not necessarily the embodiment of the sort of attitude that glam metal is known and loved for.
