Chez Kane // Album Inspirations // Vlog

[@SIBERIANCROW]

You do great rock! Compliments from the buttom of my soul and Germany!

[@stevecresswell6647]

Soooooo hard to choose but for me it's probably:- 1. Petra - On Fire (first band I ever saw live at Brixton Academy and my favourite band ever since as a Christian and lover of melodic rock); 2. Def Leppard - Hysteria (where it all began in around 1987 when I heard my brother blasting out this LP in his room and I fell in love with the music); 3. Bon Jove - Slippery When Wet ('Livin' on a Prayer' was one of my first singles I heard and I will never forget hearing it for the first time! Unbelievable). Big mentions to Harem Scarem 'Mood Swings' that made them on of my top 5 favourite bands now with so many consistently stunning albums since, Winger 'Pull' and previous 2 albums, Skillet 'Comatose' for more modern heavier Christian symphonic rock and Daughtry 'Leave This Town' for my favourite of many brilliant albums by possibly the greatest singer in rock music. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many more I could mention but these are my top 3 and other top top favourites.

1. Elvis Presley - Blue Hawaii Was my first LP that i ever bought when I was 7. I really started to enjoy Rock'n'Roll. My fav RnR is Jerry Lee Lewis. 2. Die Toten Hosen - Im Auftrag des Herren (Live) This Album has great songs with great Lyrics. Was like the album that rocked me through the teenage years and nowadays it reminds me of these years :) 3. Gamma Ray - Land of the Free II Best PowerMetal Album ever.

It's a difficult challenge, 3 albums. There's a big difference between the 3 I play the most and the 3 that had the most profound effect on me. The 3 that had the biggest effect on me growing up were: 1) Twisted Sister - You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll (Mark 'The Animal' Mendoza's basslines used to make my bedroom windows flex like a sheet in the wind) 2) Dio - Holy Diver/Def Leppard - Pyromania - this is one choice as I had these 2 back-to-back on a tape in the car for about 3 years and wore out several copies 3) Bob Seger - Best Of - I remember hearing 'Hollywood Nights' as a 15-year-old and being blown away. This best of compilation has this track, We've got Tonight, Night Moves, The Fire Inside as well as my all-time favourite song 'Against The Wind' - check this one out Chez if you've not heard it. some of the piano breaks and slide guitar solos are to die for :-)

[@ChezKane]

I think I would have had that second choice worn out too! Great choices there Jim! I am now currently listening to the Bob Seger stuff you mentioned and I'm really enjoying it. It's got a really chilled, relaxing vibe. Summer, chill out tunes

[@caphowdy666]

I have the version of Steeheart with the other cover. Now this will probably sound a bit weird, but when I first got it it was on cassette. When I got round to buying the CD I found out there were two different covers. So when I went to buy it because I had the other cover on cassette I wanted the same cover on CD, so I ignored any copies that had the cover you have (see told you I was weird). Anyway top three albums is a tough one as at last count I have a CD collection that is just shy of 3,000 albums. I'd have to go with my fave band for starters and my fave album by them, Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood. Second (this is where it starts getting tough). I would probably go for Pretty Boy Floyd - Leather boyz with electric toyz. And number three. Warrant - Cherry pie. I wanted to pick Poison, GNR, Lepp, EZN, Skid Row, LA Guns, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Lita Ford, Vixen etc etc etc but where do you stop?

[@mariusduplessis541]

You have great taste..

[@mfry645]

Cool selection, would be interested to hear what Harry's faves are next.Bet they're very different to yours.🤘👍😀

[@harryscottelliott8970]

Mark Fry very hahaha

[@ChezKane]

Yeah, most probably! He loves these albums but he wouldn't pick them for the first 3 to mention I don't think.

[@powerswish]

1) Whitesnake - 1987 2) Kix - Blow My Fuse 3) Revolution Saints - Rise They probably change from month to month.

[@craigcolin1]

Great wee insight Chez and totally surprised by the first two, but knew off your love for Blackbird so no surprise there. For me to pick 3 albums is virtually impossible as i was a teenager from the 70's I was spoiled with so much innovative music but i would need to have a real think about that one. Yeah would be good if all 7 members of Kane'd would be able to do this vlog would be interesting to hear who their choices were

[@ChezKane]

Glad you enjoyed the video CM :) Haha, yeah, I'm pretty sure all 7 of us have completely different choices. It's crazy how different music and bands have an impact on different people! It's quite fascinating! I challenge you to say the first 3 albums that come to mind... go!

[@mercuryrockum1562]

My first cd was Def Leppard. They have a lot of under appreciated songs. My personal favorite is Rock Rock 'Til You Drop. Steelheart very underrated. We All Die Young.

[@jensr2487]

🤘💚

[@slav333sworek4]

✌️

[@metaltrekman]

Chez, IF you love Steelheart and Alter Bridge (me too)so much you probably would love the movie "Rock Star". Its one of my favorite movies. And also Jeff Scott Soto sings on it too. 🤘🤘

[@ChezKane]

Yes! I adore that movie... definitely one of my top 5 movies!

[@jamesthomas7102]

Very good choices those, so many choices but ok for my three I think it will have to be 3 that are fairly different from each other 1. Forgive and Forget by The Beautiful Strangers, 2.Tribute by Tenacious D and finally 3.Going to Hell by The Pretty Reckless

[@ChezKane]

Some cool album choices there James! ❤️

[@simonmorgan8059]

My favourite 3 albums are no1-Bon Jovi New Jersey best album of theirs career, no2- giuffria silk+ steel album , David glen eisleys vocals are immense ,not a bad song on the album . Then gene simmonds took over management and replaced the singer and guitarist, and they were then known as house of lords,check out their debut album it’s a masterpiece but not in my top 3 , it’s no 4 , my no 3 is dare - out of the silence , a masterpiece all the way through , it’s a must listen to album, check it out chez .

[@robertnutt8994]

Great three albums, here are my three.1. Kiss Lick It Up 2. Motley Crue Girls, Girls, Girls 3.Poison Open Up and Say... Ahh! Xxx

[@ChezKane]

Some really awesome albums you've chosen there!

[@zandervolker3439]

There are far more than three albums which have been profoundly dear to me but here’s three; Incubus - Morning View Marilyn Manson - Holywood Stone Sour - Hydrograd

[@ChezKane]

Was expecting Stone Sour from you and Lucy!

[@zandervolker3439]

Chez Kane Last year a few albums got me through tough times; BMTH - AMO INCUBUS - 8 You Me At Six - VI

[@ChezKane]

I'll check them out... currently listening to this Hyde album Lucy mentioned. Haha! It's really cool!

[@topjimmy5347]

I got into Def Leppard when I was thirteen with Hysteria.

[@FL_ST8_1]

3 great choices but, I think Def Leppard is my fav by far. I’ve seen them play at least 5 times when they come to the US. Also, have to say Harry has excellent taste in music as well. 🤟

[@ChezKane]

Yeah, they are amazing and their music is infectious! I've only seen them 3 times... it's not enough!

[@tommystaggs3519]

Check out massive wagons (full nelson) banger after banger

[@patrickadams7120]

I can vouch for Mike's voice it really is that good live....i saw Steelheart way back when in what feels like another lifetime 3 albums....tough one but here goes 1. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction.....pure,raw,rock n roll energy and the greatest album ever made 2. Def Leppard - Hysteria...not one bad song on the album 3. Tyketto - Don't Come Easy....what more can you say about Danny Vaughn's vocals and yes he really is that good live

[@ChezKane]

I have not seen Mike live but I've seen a few videos online and yes, I can see he nails it live! I definitely need to catch him live when I can! Love those album choices... and yes, I agree that Danny Vaughn is outstanding live. I've been lucky enough to sing with him a few times! LOVE Tyketto!

Would Love to see you do a Def Leppard song!!!!!!!!!

[@ChezKane]

It’s got to happen at some point :)

[@lucindadyer1435]

How on earth did you manage to get it down to just mentioning 3 😂🙈 For me it would have to be some really recent ones that have changed me the most sooooo HYDE - Anti, Stone Sour - Hydrograd aaaaaaand Incubus - 8

[@ChezKane]

It was hard to decide because there are sooooo many that have inspired me but when I decided to do this video, these 3 instantly came to mind so I went with it :) I'll talk about more at a later date no doubt! How did I guess that Stone Sour would be in there for your choices? Haha! Never heard of the first choice, I assume that where mr's stage name came from? I'll have to check that out!

[@lucindadyer1435]

Chez Kane Haha yes he was an inspiration, he’s a Japanese artist but his latest album was in English and it’s sooo good 🧡 Stone sour had to be in there somewhere but the new album as it was the most recent gig we went too and I took Zan and my sister it was an amazing night with my favourite people 🥰 can’t beat it!! It’s interesting that you found yours through Harry! I was introduced to incubus by Zan and now I don’t go a day without listening to at least one track!!

[@ChezKane]

Yea, its crazy how meeting people can lead to finding new music, memories and inspirations! So fascinating! I've gotta check this Hyde album out... sounds interesting. Going to do it now!
