This is a new project that is basically a supergroup of sorts. It is formed by former members of Dio, Quiet Riot, Lynch Mob, and David Lee Roth’s band. You have Chas West on vocals, Jimmy Bain on bass, Vinny Appice on drums and Brian Young and Carlos Cavazo on guitar. I like this disk for 2 main reasons. First, it is only 8 songs and has a playing time of approximately 35 minutes. I like this because it doesn’t overstay its welcome with filler tracks. Too many of today's bands feel the need to fill all 80 minutes of a CD. It is much better to leave the listener wanting more than giving them too much. The other reason I really like this album is that it is rock music played at its purest form. There are no effects, just a bunch of musicians hammering out some great tunes. There is a little similarity to the type of rock that Alter Bridge churns out but I like this much better. Even though the members came from metal backgrounds, I would not classify this as a metal product because it does not really have a lot of the elements that you find in that genre. Chas West sings in a Paul Rodgers fashion instead of the screaming most of us associate with metal. This album has more in common with Badlands then it does with Judas Priest. In today’s musical climate, 3 Legged Dogg is a breath of fresh air. I just hope this isn’t going to be their only release.
