Of course you knew I was going to mention the Jake E. Lee connection if you didn't bring it up haha. Chip and Donnie lived about 5 minutes from me when I was growing up. Good old south side of Chicago. They've got some great songs...they can write some huge hooks. Their 2nd album "Strength" and the album "Dissonance" are both excellent. The over the top Dayglo Colored image they got saddled with when their debut album came out has really been tough for them to shake. I always thought they had more in comnon with bands like Cheap Trick and power pop bands than with the "Hair Metal" bands they often get paired with. Definitely not the same since Donnie stopped performing with them.
