I read an article in Making Music Magazine about that band.Looks good, but i have to be honest when I think of Bostons guitarist I'm thinking Tom Sholtz 8)

Hmmm, I've been a Boston fan since day one and probably was the first one in my area to own the 8-track and then all the CD's when they were published.
This band, (Ernie and the Automatics) to me sound just like most other blues bands. I don't think they sound anything like Boston did. JMHO. :?
Thanks for the information, tho. Nice to see the other members still playing.

"More Than A Feeling" was one of those records that just stopped me in my tracks first time I heard it...thirty-odd years on, still one of my all time faves. First time I heard it on the radio I was at work - I remember saying, "Who's THAT?" and my boss put me in the picture. "You should hear the long version on the album," he said....so I went out and bought it in my lunch break. Still one of my fave albums - and I've still got it!
Boston's sound for me was Tom Scholz's rocking, yet very fluid and melodic guitar lines; Brad Delp's voice; and Tom's production, almost an updated multi-layered multi-textured wall of sound....great, great band.
I'm with Bish, nothing against the new band but compared to the old Boston recordings, they sound distinctly average.
:D :D :D

I liked Boston back in the 70's but now it just sounds like so much corporate rock.I might just be in a bad mood :evil: Besides It not going so sound much like Boston without Brad and Tom :wink:

:lol: Hey Vic, I just got that Boston record a few weeks ago. I hear "More Than A Feeling" at work so often I had to get it.

Yep, Boston is definitely NOT back. No Tom, no Brad = no Boston.
