Feinstein
David "Rock" Feinstein has an illustrious hard rock past.
As cousin of Ronnie James Dio, he performed with Dio in the early
seventies in the band Elf, and then had a successful run with
The Rods
in the eighties.
After more than a decade away from the scene, Feinstein
the man is back,
with a new band featuring noted singer John West
(also currently in both
Artension
and
Royal Hunt).
The group's 2003 album,
Third Wish, shows that the man still
has some chops left, even though the unabashed 80's worship on
display isn't exactly contemporary.
This isn't a Rods rehash, as
Third Wish has a more classy
feel than the blue-collar style of the Rods, but Feinstein's
guitar work is quite all right, and the rest of the band
make solid contributions as well.
80's purists who might be tired of the more upbeat Euro style
of metal would do well to seek out this album.
