I actually had a digital copy of it & it is every bit horrendous as you can imagine. It was one of those things that you have to see for yourself just how deplorable it is.

It's worse than the most tired hair metal 4/4 compositions ever recorded. It's more than bad, its a shameful sin that is so bad that all involved should go baptize themselves to wash off the stank.

You know, I keep trying to give QR the benefit of the doubt but this is almost comical now.

Your a much better man than me. I have given into the comedy full tilt.

So got around to hearing this. It's like listening to no name bands at the local dive. It takes a lot of confidence to record this & insist that this is good to release to the public. They have no pride whatsoever.

Speaking of no pride...Bobby Blotzer who is supposed to be legally barred from using the Ratt name has now hired ex-Quiet Riot singer Seann Nicols as the new singer for his version of the band.

You can check out the official video for the newly recorded version of Metal Church's Fake Healer (featuring Queensryche's Todd La Torre with singer Mike Howe) via this YouTube link.

The new version is on their upcoming Classic Live album.

I'm not sure how I feel about this version, I think La Torre's vocals throw off the song a bit.
