| Flame without the "f" adequately described this band until I heard "Blaze". One word, five exclamation points: WOW!!!!! Is this the same band that put out the bland Great White-on-an-off-day release on Giant in '92? It sure is, but you'd never think so! This is archetypal L.A. style hair metal without any pesky outside influences (blues, etc.) getting in the way! Like Cry Wolf, Southgang, Babylon A.D., etc.

| So far I disagree. I actually like the other one better. This is just plain rock with no flavor. I'll try it yet again but it hasn't done anything for me. Overhyped is the indication I get so far.

| Sorry Tim....but you already know I dig this one. This cd, to me, is miles beyond their major label debut. What happened to them between the two releases one can only wonder. But "Blaze" kicks some serious ass.....in a slightly bluesy *yes Koogs..* hardrock kinda kickass way!!! I'd seriously have to rank this Indie in the top 20 for sure......... 9/10

| AWESOME MELODIC ROCK RELEASE! A Top indie rarity from 1989 worth every penny for a REAL music lover (that's right Tim!). From top to bottom this sucker never seizes to amaze me with it's catchy choruses and killer songz! From the energy to "Ball & Chain" to the sheer catchiness of "Don't Look Down", "Ride", "Get It All", "Automatic", etc (you get the point). A 10 in every way for me.

| Blaze was by far their best work. I knew the band and they were unhappy with the production on the Giant release. If you like the sound of Blaze, you should have seen them live. They were great and their cover of "Magic Carpet Ride" was really rocked!

You know where you can stick that opinion right, Ripper?  I love the song "Freight Train" but the rest does little for me. More intensity maybe but the songs lack punch and flow. Not saying it will do that for everybody but I loved the other release regardless of how unpopular that opinion may be. It will take more than 8 or so opinions to cut it. If more people could afford it there would be a better indication of it's standing.

| Flame was an amzing band live! I saw them more in the 80's and early 90's than any other band! It doesn't get better than Flame on a Saturday night at Niles! I miss those days sometimes. One of my fav. memories is when Phil was singing Magic Carpet Ride (which as Mark above said, they did a kick ass job on), he was doing a weird scarf dance and Chuck Billy from Testament was there rocking out! I think Flame suffered the same fate as some other bay area bands did, on their eariler release. Someho

| I think Flame suffered the same fate on their Giant release as many other bay area bands did. The disk did not translate their songs well (over produced or something) and also did not capture the live energy..... I have a tape that Flame used to sell at their shows (prior to their brief move to LA) that has four songs, Angel (snore), Sexual Kind (fun song, great live), Love Can't Wait (double snore) and Johnny Fever (definately an old time fav. and great live)....

| Also worth mentioning is both Flame and Babylon AD were Niles bands. Meaning they played at Niles Station quite a bit and were definately regulars and crowd favorites. However, that being said, Flame was the much better band live that Babylon AD! The crowd seemed to think so too!

| Phillip Sullivan is my boyfriend and I was happy to come across this website, I'm sure Phil will be interested in reading your comments. In answer to the question "What's Phil up to?".. He was with a cover band "Mojo" for awhile playing in the South Bay Area. But now he is working really hard on his own music, he has some really good songs. Also the members from "Flame" have just struck up a deal with a company from europe who is going to re-release two of "Flames" songs(hopefully by mid-2004) t

This is a coolsite here! Krys would you mind telling Phil I said Hi. I have moved back home to Alaska now but have fond memories of thos early Niles Station Days...the Green House and Pumas in San Jose. Thanks of this site.

| hey Gunner...I will definitely tell Phil that you said "hi"! I do remember "Milk" those gigs were always fun. I also remember "Freewill" but believe it or not I did not know for a long time that Matt and Steve from "Milk" were the guys from "Freewill". I'm sure Phil will be replying to your message too. Take care...How's Alaska?

| Sullivan is still one of the best vocalist out there...lots of soul!! Hey Sullivan! We've been out of touch since playing w/you at Niles years back. I'm still singing off and on with my guitar player, but it's just for fun now. Joe and I jam at home and with some of my bandmates. Talked to Billy recently - he's still in Texas. Anyhow, if you see this, drop me an email at lofaro63@sbcglobal.net. Would love to hear how things are going. Maybe a jam is in order?? Hope all is well. Sona

| This is a good hard rock disc, especially the huge opening track - what a killer! As Koogles says first off the bat, it's hard to believe this rather explosive and vibrant hard rock band released the pile of shit they call a second disc. This is a good slab of hard rock though... not too sure if it was worth the re-issue, but who's to say? Good solid disc.

| Contrary to popular opinion, I actually prefer the sophmore S/T album to this one. While this one is certainly in the hard rock vein and the S/T in more of the melodic/AOR mode, the second album is more organized. This one seems to be all over the place with its moods. I do like it though. Just prefer the second album.

| Just received this and after a few spins it comes across as "Good Time" melodic hard rock.Along with the s/t album it doesn't break any barriers,but as I said it's "Good Time" M.H.R.that has been done better but also been done a lot worse.It's up to the listener to decide !!!!

| The self-titled sophomore CD has slicker production, but this debut has more ballsy sizzle, so which one is superior? Well, for me, it doesn't much matter, 'cause I didn't think either one was worth bothering with.
