Great riffing, smokin' solos, a kickass rhythm section, killer vocals and brilliant songwriting. What more could you ask for? An excellent heavy, melodic Rock 'N' Roll record. It's already on my best of 2023 list.
My buddy hit me with this totally blind....I said "HOLY GOSPEL HELL YEAH!!!!" Bitter Pill first tune...I thought Michael??? And also nailed Scott Travis...then the reveal.....talk about a double-barreled assault of crunchy goodness...LIGHTS OUT!!!!! takes serious balls and nailing it. Bravo gentleman, bravo.
This is my first comment ever on youtube. But I just can't help but say thank you guys for this fantastic work. Finally new and above all excellent rock sound. Chapeau!
What a gift for a melodic metal maniac! The Falcon, Richie, Thank God you survived your heart condition and came back with a Vengeance with a lineup of badass musicians and an album full of heart, mastery and metal magnificence. As we say in my tradition, NAMASTE [the divine (metal) light in me bows to the divine (metal ) light in you!]. FYI: this moment in Houston was one of the highlights of my life - -you are interacting and tossed me the pick which I gave to a kid in front of me. Sooooo fun! ruclips.net/video/JGH2b2ecjJs/видео.html. To me, you are the greatest guitarist alive today. ROCK ON!
I second that last comment: What a killer band and great singer - real vocals instead of hiring "cookie monster". lol. Really digging the first few songs. The world needs a really good hard rock band with a touch of metal right now! Cool band name: Elegant Weapons. This really is a fucking Supergroup - in time to fill the rock and roll void! yeah!
I am gonna have several comments as I listen to this through... but what I hear very clearly is the influence of Richie living in Nashville and hanging around with guys like Jared James Nichols. Aside from all of the classic rock/metal stuff, that is what really shines. There is a very 'American' feel to some of these passages. Specifically Ghost of You, and Bitter Pill.
that is awesome, I love this kind of music, classic, full of melody and very heavy and above all almighty Ritchie, great riffs, fuckin' great crazy solos. Just a big wow. Geetings from Poland🤘😈🤘
Faulkner the BEAST 😍So much intensity and variability🤘🔥🎸 Some riffs and solos are close to Priests Firepower. Could have worked quite well as a new Judas Priest album.
This is a great heard rock album, but I am hoping the new JP album will be firmly in the heavy metal realm, so heavier than this and not too much rock n'roll.
Came here for one Song.. Do or Die .. Cant stop Playing the Whole Album. For me , this has the same feel as when i first Listened to Lynch Mob's Wicked Sensation . Not one bad Song . One of my NOW Fav Albums . The Solo's are Killer ..Vocals are spot on .. And .... the Drummer .. Wow ... Already looking forward to the next Album..
This is Chadwick Paul Browning from the band sweet revenge ....me and dimebag Darryl from Pantera where friends and opened for the Pantera boys for years. He once told me many can shred but few can write like us. ...Richie... I can now say I finally met another. Love you brother . If you should ever want to work together, or want to add a rhythm guitarist to thicken it up Live my door for you shall always remain open. Hit me back brother . ElegantWeapons officially on my Playlist. Love it
Bitter Pill absolutely smoking bone crusher. Scott Travis just smashing. These guys are fucking great, the more i listen the more its hooks are in me. Wow
I keep listening to these 'unheard of' bands in the hope of discovery some originality... somthing a little different to the same old crash,bang bollocks. No luck yet.
Can’t beat Priest from Sin after Sin/ Stained Class. There isn’t anything close to these albums from this period, if we are talking JP through the ages. Not wishing to upset, its only my perspective. The playing here is exceptionally good and I will give it time to sink in though.

A perfect example of what rock music should sound like. Great mix, cool riffs and real vocals. Thanks guys!!
yeah, awesome. rock music albums should entirely sound like filled with songs we had in similar versions 1000 times before.
I could not agree more brother!
Exactly 💯 Haven't heard anything this Rockworthy for about a Decade
My sentiments exactly. This is a quite superb rock album and one of the best new releases so far this year. An essential purchase.
Rock!? 🤔 Io preferisco definirlo heavy metal!!! 🤘🏻
Killer album! Maybe it's just me being in my 50s, but this has kind of an 80s/90s metal vibe that I absolutely love! 🤘🔥
I'm 30. This album is two fat titties ina crock pot simmering with flavor
There isn't one bad song on this album. This is FN FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agree!
Great riffing, smokin' solos, a kickass rhythm section, killer vocals and brilliant songwriting. What more could you ask for? An excellent heavy, melodic Rock 'N' Roll record. It's already on my best of 2023 list.
Amen to all of that!👍
WORD BRO!
Jelusick smokes too
fucking insane, new era is here
Been feeling that way for last three years! Our time is here to teach them how to ROCK again!!!! 80s Forever!
I bought the album and, in my opinion, it is the album of the year, so far 🎸🎶
Deafinitely

Awesome album..! 🎸😎. Long live Ritchie Faulkner, killer licks. Your fans love you ❤
Great album… thank God! Rock n Roll lives on…🤘🏼
Awesome debut guys - love it, the UFO cover 'Lights Out' should be a single! \m/
Fucking Good HEAVY ALBUM GUYS !!!!!!!!! put it in the car, volume MAX , that's awesome
I love this album, I love it when you can understand the words, vocals are awesome on this album

Music at it's finest.
Great album from beginning to end!!🤘
Bring it on boys. Falcon!
Love this opening track! So far the first two tracks are excellent, fantastic guitar!
that is awesome, I love this kind of music, classic, full of melody and very heavy and above all almighty Ritchie, great riffs, fuckin' great crazy solos. Just a big wow. Geetings from Poland🤘😈🤘
Just discovered this amazing band thru Fleshgod Apocalypse recommendations 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This the Future of Heavy Metal.
Faulkner's influences are all on display here. Iommi, Schenker, Lynch, et al. Very riffy, just like I like it! An excellent metal album \,,/, ,\,,/
Glenn Tipton is a big influence on him too. He has been a Priest fan since he was a teen.
You guys are AMAZING! To me, it's the outcome of Ironmaden and Trivum's influence!! Keep it up!
The intro is that solo Richie used to play +10 years ago. What a throwback to hear that lick again.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for my vinyl record to arrive!
Faulkner the BEAST 😍So much intensity and variability🤘🔥🎸 Some riffs and solos are close to Priests Firepower. Could have worked quite well as a new Judas Priest album.
it is so damn generic, every riff and solo of his sound the same, Priest could've found better.
This is a great heard rock album, but I am hoping the new JP album will be firmly in the heavy metal realm, so heavier than this and not too much rock n'roll.
The Opening has taken my soul
Awesome release and a much needed nostalgic breath of fresh air . The band is on fire and easily RR's finest body of work so far.
Ghost Of You is powerfull ballad - something like Scorpions. Not often today. Great album. AAA+!!!
Came here for one Song.. Do or Die .. Cant stop Playing the Whole Album. For me , this has the same feel as when i first Listened to Lynch Mob's Wicked Sensation . Not one bad Song . One of my NOW Fav Albums . The Solo's are Killer ..Vocals are spot on .. And .... the Drummer .. Wow ... Already looking forward to the next Album..
I hear alot of George lynch in his riffs, that's because George lynch is Richie's father in law, this album totally is badass 🤘🤘🤘🤘

He once told me many can shred but few can write like us. ...Richie... I can now say I finally met another. Love you brother .

Hammer Album🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
Bitter Pill absolutely smoking bone crusher. Scott Travis just smashing. These guys are fucking great, the more i listen the more its hooks are in me. Wow
Takes serious balls to cover one of the greatest songs of all time....and to nail it. Im floored

Do or Die f'in rocks. Richie kills it. Best of luck boys. And Keep'em coming.

Albums great . Last two songs are epic
Make that last 10
🤘
Incredible Sound! Brazil is with you!
Why can’t Iron Maiden have a production and sound as good as this!!! There’s no excuse!!! Seriously, think about that?
Listen to Piece of Mind album lately? 😏
He's obviously talking about the modern lame dull sounding Kevin Shirley produced albums
@@wardenclyffe-towerofknowle1212 😂😂😂 talk rubbish son
Te puedo asegurar q maiden suenan cómo quieren sonar
@@K7ALMIGHTY He's right the production on everything from AMOLAD really sucks.
I LOVE YOU YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE BAND EVER!!!!
