Editorial Reviews

LEGENDARY GERMAN METAL BAND RE-RECORD AND RE-RELEASE GREATEST HITS!!! Victory hold a prestigious position among the ranks of distinguished hard rock acts. During the Eighties and early Nineties, Victory, alongside their fellow-Hanoverians the Scorpions, were considered the most outstanding German rock export. Top positions in the album charts all over the world, successful tours in Europe and America, plus sensational appearances at reputable festivals £ Victory were everywhere. The band went through various line-ups, the most legendary without doubt including American vocalist Charlie Huhn, who had previously worked with Gary Moore and Ted Nugent. Together with Huhn, they recorded unforgettable cult albums like Victory (1985), DonAt Get Mad £ Get Even (1986), Hungry Hearts (1987) and ThatAs Life (1988). Charlie Huhn subsequently returned to the States to join rock heroes. Humble Pie, and has been the lead singer in FOGHAT since July 2000. 15 years later the orginal line-up reformed to record special one time album in 2003. Now in 2006 the band have decided to polish off their old numbers and re-record them for this special greatest hits package (and include one brand new track!), Sadly Charlie Huhn left to return to his Foghat duties but has been replaced by ex-Human Fortress Jioti Parcharidas who easily equals the qualities of his predecessor! "Fuel To The Fire" therefore provides the perfect link between Victoy's past and their future!. Armageddon. 2006 --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Take every heavy metal cliché for song titles, simple but lame lyrics, and tired and retreaded riffs...put them together in one album and you have...Fuel to the Fire by Victory. And !

This review is from: Fuel to the Fire: The Best of Victory (Audio CD)

FUEL TO THE FIRE (2006) comes off as a new album to me. sure the songs are not new, with the exception of 1 new track "felt it coming". But with the addition of new vocalist Jioti Parcharidis and up dated recording technology, FTTF is fresh sounding and a great selection of their best metallic slabs such as "Running Scared" "Temples of Gold" and "Take the Pace" make it a must own for Metal fans of the Traditional variety. No Hype , No Nonsense, No Bull. Straight ahead Heavy Metal worthy of any respectable Metal collection. Good band that should pummel at 06's edition of the Wacken Open Air festival

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, should have expected that!!!!, December 6, 2010

I was pleasantly surprised when I first put this CD on. I shouldn't have been, since Victory has always been such a great band. It took me a while before getting around to picking this album up, but definitely a case of "better late than never". It's usually a touchy thing when a band goes back and re-records from their own catalog, but this CD stands on its own. It's not better than the originals, which are already great, these are different yet just as great. There are subtle differences to the song arrangements here and there, but nothing too different. They didn't change the songs simply to change them. I don't think that ever works too well. They also found their third vocalist who again fits right in to what the band is about. Most people aren't aware of this band, but for those that are and like them, this is another one to add to your collection.
