He can do that. But does the recordcompany?
I actually agree with you Gerald I think most, if not all of his GOS music would be relevant today, as it was then and I just wish he could have released it as is. It's fun and crazy stuff, which is what we all need to hear and indeed shows us that he can still rock with the best of them.Surely , whoever said, we don't need to hear his "quirky voices" have just had a whole album full (UTS) and for whatever reason UTS has done quite well.Goes to show, he can get away with "quirky" and quiet, "quirky" and rock, would, imo, be even better.
I'm looking forward to this "rockier" album immensely, just hope it happens.
