yeah! soo agree! It sounds so much better during the 80s!

I think the vocals are better on Poison Eyes on the Tech Diff album.

The bit where Jeff sings...

"That's for SUREEEEEE"

The way he sings SURE is just AMAZING. I listen to those few seconds on repeat all the time. I like alot of the vocal melodies more than the guitar solos on the newer albums tbh.

Jeff does amazingly powerful vocals, I like how he does long notes with a slight trill on them.

my opinion is Jeff's Voice is WAY cooler with the tighter better recordings.

the old recordings sound crap in comparison, even though I reckon most of the best songs are on SL and 2nd Heat, the recording are so poor it's not really fun to listen to them.

if it was possible I'd re-record the 1st 2 albums. But then it's impossible to have em note for note so we have to keep the old ones. also, the equipment evolved; so re-recording them would mean having a better sound quality... but also changing the guitars drums, the bass... so it wouldn't be the same at all.

it's so sad though.. the coolest songs to have such poor recording quality while they are so DAMN GREAT!

oh and yeah, I love shred and fast beats, and sometimes it takes me time to realize that some songs are actually great!

give it to me, sunlit nights...

all those songs I skipped for a faster heavier tune..

but when I listen to the record again I realize how cool they are... I'm a sunlit nights addict now, and give it to me is really cool rock n roll

i like the production on the first 2 albums.

well yeah it wasn't bad... but compared with the new ones...

if there is a reunion some day, then they really should re-record Scarified as a bonustrack! that would be AWSOME

yeah bonus... so only japanese people can have it... screw that! lol

anyone has the cover of black sabbath by Racer X? Children of the grave? as a bonus track? or did I get it only caus I bought Technical difficulties in Japan...

back to topic: It would be really cool to have scarified re-recorded yeah... but NOT bonus... otherwise I'll be the one taking the plane and harversting it for you bastards! lol

im happy with my Second heat scarified, and tons of live versions ive accumulated.
id rather new material.

Don't we have any people on the board who live in Japan???

I mean, we are the Racer X forum, is'nt shred more alive there than anywhere else.

Paul did re-record Scarified for Guitar techniques about a year and a half ago, I'd rather see a re-union with Bruce than anything else.

well, japanese people hardly speak english; I've walked down tokyo, and when I first went there (that means with a very low japanese level, though now it's a lot better now but not really great) I couldn't communicate in english, you HAVE to use japanese... and if there is any japanese fan on the board, then it's a one in a billion thing lol...
