Γεια άκουσα σε έναν web rock radio έναν τραγούδι τους το Hamsterdam. Ξέρετε τίποτα παραπάνω έχετε καμιά δουλειά τους....;

Hard rock-fusion band led by John Goodsall (during the Brand-X hiatus). Their sound is too hard for my tastes, I can only take it a song or two at a time.

 

Fire Merchants were a band featuring John Goodsall (Brand X), Doug Lunn (pedigree unknown), and Chester Thompson (concert drummer for famed country and western group, Phil and the JumboTrons). They released this in 1989, an all- instrumental workout, sounding like a more aggressive and electric version of Brand X, jazz fusion that meets rock, in much the same way as Ronnie Montrose, Steve Morse, and the like have been doing. The CD, which contains a track that is not on the LP release, has been out-of-print for a while, and will probably drop out of sight fairly soon.

 

The other side of the coin from Brand X. Where Brand X always has a jazz feel, Fire Merchants is the rock exploration vehicle for guitarist John Goodsall. Features Chester Thompson (Genesis's tour drummer) on the drum kit. Though I don't think it's as good as Brand X, it's solid rock from a solid guitar player.

 

Fire Merchants is the project of guitarist John Goodsall (Brand X) who is joined by Chester Thompson (drums) and D. Lunn (basses). The music remains in the jazz-rock fusion style but is a bit heavier than that of his former band. The tracks consist of electric guitar improvisations on pretty intense riffs and rhythms. The use of guitar synthesizer introduces a certain variety to a sound that is never far from distortion. An excellent production for those who enjoy electric guitar in a fairly heavy jazz-rock context. -- Paul Charbonneau
