Can I confess something? And if you say no, this is an odd thing for you to have chosen to read.
I’m far more annoyed that Dann Huff isn’t singing in the new Giant album than Udo isn’t singing in the new Accept album. While I have nothing against Terry Brock singing in just about any of the bands he’s worked in, I just think that Giant IS Dann Huff while Accept isn’t Udo. Accept is Wolf Hoffman and maybe even Peter Baltes. Maybe. Yeah, Udo is obviously good too but he’s left Accept before and they’d been dead for 14 years and he isn’t coming back and that’s that. Giant, on the other hand, have only released 4 studio albums, sometimes very far apart, which apparently is a great many for an AOR / Melodic Rock band. So if we get to see them once every decade at least we want Dann Huff to be a full time songwriter and frontman. We already have one Strangeways and they are good and we want Giant to sound like Giant. And because we ‘ve gone past the young adult mentality by which we thought that all musicians do in hiatuses is write new songs and wait around to be signed again, we understand that although it’s not real Giant without Dann Huff, we’d take Terry Brock in his place anytime. The CD, or should I say the MP3 purchase, is still good, true AOR but I think I would have enjoyed it a little better if they released it under a different name.
By the way I’ve noticed a man called Bono is trying to copy Terry Brock in his dressing outfit.
