PRETTY MAIDS is one of the greatest bands ever, and chances are good you’ve never heard of them.
I consider these Danish wonders to be one of four that are horribly overlooked in the USA. The other three are Talisman, Thunder and Harem Scarem.
Sure, there are other groups out there that are far more deserving of the recognition than they receive compared to 99.9% of the top 40 garbage, but all four of these bands are the most extreme examples of groups not huge phenom’s around the world.
And frankly, I think Pretty Maids is the band that tops that list.
How Pretty Maids aren’t at the level of success of Bon Jovi, Def Leppard or Journey completely baffles me. You will find no group that has more consistently released incredible music from their first album to their most recent.
They have a catalog filled with catchy and powerful songs, chock full of melody yet with a hard edge not found in the above mentioned mega-bands.
Musically you will find no pairing that meshes as well as the ever constant core of Ronnie Atkins and Ken Hammer. With Atkins you have a vocalist able to sing some of the most beautiful lines you can imagine then go into a growl that is intense, but not so grating as to detract from the songs. Match that with the guitar prowess of Hammer and you’ve got a musical duo that ranks as high as any other (I’m looking at you Jagger / Richards, Perry / Tyler, Schon / Steve Perry).
While listening to their latest release on Frontiers Records, an incredible career spanning live opus entitled "It Comes Alive", I hear these astounding songs like “Hell On High Heels”, “Walk Away”, “Yellow Rain”, “Future World” or “Savage Heart” and I ponder many things.
For starters, I would stand any of their songs up against any of the big hits of Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and will state clearly that there’s no competition. Pretty Maids has catchy songs full of more hooks, fantastic vocals, sing-along chorus’ than both those bands combined.
They can go from the hardest of rockers like “Red Hot and Heavy” to the sweetest of ballads with “Savage Heart” without missing a beat or losing the listener. And unlike both Bon Jovi and Def Leppard - and this is made obvious listening to "It Comes Alive" - that after 30 years in the business they haven’t changed what they do one iota yet remained true to their sound. A still sound fan-tas-tic.
Not to pick on either of those other bands, but they have some serious clunkers in their catalogs respectively. I also have no personal beef with either Jovi or Leppard, I consider myself a true fan of most of their material, but they’re still able to do big tours and sell records, while Pretty Maids is more or less unheard of after slogging away for three decades.
I’m sorry, but what the hell is wrong with people?
If it’s not clear that I am a rabid Pretty Maids fan, I’ll just say it straight out: I have loved these guys for many years now.
I remember just like it was yesterday the first time their video for “Future World” (from the outstanding '87 album of the same title) came on to The Headbanger’s Ball on MTV. The blazing guitar lick and the galloping keyboard melody had me from the first few seconds.
I immediately got the vinyl as import and played it repeatedly. Sadly, due to the fact that they barely made an impact on the scene, I didn’t know they had albums prior, nor was able to keep up with them until much later on.
"It Comes Alive" showed me beyond a shadow of a doubt that not only do the songs stand the test of time, but their actual performances are just as powerful and fresh as if they were a new band. And despite the fact that they’re not as huge as they should be, they have a devoted following as evidenced by the audience participation.
Ronnie directs the crowd to sing along, and from the word go the crowd is fully into it. He’s not forced to do the 'I can’t hear you!' shtick so many bands have to do to get the crowd going. The crowd is already singing along!
This CD is so incredible you almost feel like you’re in the crowd as well, singing along, even though you’re in your car driving to work.
I realize that live albums aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. I respect that. I don’t listen to live albums as much as I used to.
However, Pretty Maids' "It Comes Alive" is too incredible to miss. And I don’t think there was much (if any) touch-up work done on this album, as typically happens with live recordings. The sound and the vibe in this double CD is out of this World.
This is where all started guys. Pretty Maids were - and healthy are - one of the pioneers of the Melodic Hard Rock scene.
In short, regarding "It Comes Alive - Maid in Switzerland";
Q: Do you like classic, killer Melodic Hard Rock in its purest form?
A: You will be blown away.
Q: Do you dislike live albums?
A: You will be blown away.

The release is reduced and recorded perfectly, sound tough and dryish in the measure. New guitarists played well and hardly inferior to the old duo-Merhants Tarot. The same can be said of the striker, which demonstrates possession of the very technical setting, and especially the barrels. Aldrian also become an excellent, much better than the previous "Eye Of The Storm"! Choral descant, as speakers have also become much better. In general the album has absolutely no complaints. From a creative point of view there is, for example, great fighters with a touch of melodic Halloween Power's "Listen To The Stories", "Wooden Drum", good heavy songs like "A Promise Of Old", melodic hasteless "Magic Mirror", "Dragon's Day "and the acoustic ballad" Fate's On Rise " Tracklist:

Perrvobytny fear of black luminary grows more and more. A couple of aggressive black suns and the guys it's time to give an icon "We Are Speed ??Metal Roots!" and it will be correct. As always, the teams from Germany, the level of charges naschih simply can not afford to record an album of poor quality. And this time, the Germans have pleased us with excellent sound and in a variety of filling the disk. All performed flawlessly.
It seems that within a beautifully designed black-and-blue colors, the booklet is not painted black sun, and all known black hole, which is like a magnet incredible power attracts the best from a diverse metallic material in our universe. Rigorous and melodic guitar solos, sharp and energetic riffs, drum work of the rhythm section, all the splendor of high-crowned and incredibly perceptive vocals Ralf Scheepers, which again was to grow his hair and trim beard. The quality of the album have also had veterans' feats of Ralph and Mat Sinner, that a group named after himself, and could not achieve such success as a side project earlier, but now his main creation.
A young but already seasoned in the battles of Hanni Walter Thunderhead, and old friends Klaus Sperling and Stephen Lyaybing, increased with the work of your favorite Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio - also had a tremendous impact on the quality of performance skills with interest shown in all the compositions of the album. All tracks are diverse and can serve as a model for the aspiring shoots metal. Very nice sounds "Silence" - the only ballad song on the disc, which in no way spoils the overall picture of rapid and energetic metal filled the whole plate. On the drive there and two bonuses: "Out In The Fields" and "Horrorscope", fifteen tracks. A few words about the lyrics - a conceptual continuation of the "Nuclear Fire", space, fear of domination of aliens, mind control, and similar texts in a fantastic spirit Steel Eagles - Silver Heroes.

01. Countdown To Insanity
