Adrian Vandenburg aka "The Flying Dutchman", really knows how to write, compose and play the guitar. "Burning Heart" is nothing short of a masterpiece composition. One of my all-time favorite songs. I have loved it ever since the first time I heard it as a teen and it remains very close to my "burning heart" today. This song will stay with me ALWAYS.

The CD in it's entirety is 3 1/2 stars; it's worth more than one listen. I have heard Adrian play live with Whitesnake and he's amazing. He has such a broad range of emotions he pulls from his heart to his fingers to the guitar.

Some other fabulous songs here are "Prelude Mortale", "Different Worlds" and "Fighting Against the World." Adrian is predominant in these songs. I need an instrumental Adrian CD! The singer, Bert Heerink is good but I'd like to hear just Adrian playing...

Mr. Vandenberg, currently guitarist for Whitesnake, use to have his own band properly named Vandenberg, during the early to mid 80's. Cranking out NWOBHM music, Vandenberg and co. amounted big success in Europe and Japan but were virtually unheard in the States. And thats to bad, because their is some fine music here. Songs like Alibi, Pedel to the Metal, Wait and Welcome to the Club all rock out better than most bands of that genre were playing at that time. Also, the power ballad Burnin' Heart makes this collection worth owning. Besides, this is the only disc of Vandenberg music available in the States, otherwise you can pay big for imports. This is all of the Vandenberg you will ever need.

This collection of songs from Vandenburg isn't bad. I've had the cassette for some time and still give it a listen every once in a while. I don't think that most of the songs are that original or memorable, but they still have good energy and are listenable. Adrian Vandenburg plays very well indeed; and while I'm not big on the vocalist, he still gets the job done. My favorite tunes are "Burning Heart" and "Different Worlds." "Burning Heart" would have to be the most memorable song of this collection--the guitar intro is very good. Vandenburg put out some decent melodic hardrock. Worth a listen.

The Best of Vandenberg, truly an amazing band, If you've never heard of Vandenberg, one of the best bands of the 80's with big radio hits like "This burning heart" and "your love is in vain" Wow! Adrian Vandenberg made a name for himself as an amazing guitarist who would later join whitesnake at the height of their success,so here you are Vandenberg fans just for us, Vandenbergs very best of all the classics are here from one of Hollands best exports. You know there amazing now go out and bye it before their all gone, and re-live all those amazing songs and steller guitar work!!!!!!!!

This is Adrian Vandenberg's band before he joined Whitesnake.Actually,he never got to play on a Whitesnake album.If you really want to appreciate his talent you've got to hear this album.I could do without the last three tracks,but the rest of the album is grade-A stuff.If you like hard rock,it's a must have.

The powerful movement of Burning Heart, bring us to the highest utopia of 80's Glam Rock.

What an excellent CD. My friend had to order it immediately after hearing mine. I received mine promptly from the seller!

Basically Burning Heart and Wait really did anything for me. Reminds me a lot of Whitesnake or XYZ.
