| The vocals are not as overproduced as the first cd, but are still too damn high pitched. Angelo again doing some incredible guitar work. Pretty decent cover of Cat Scratch Fever. Tracks 3 and 10 are pretty decent vocals, but the other songs start screaming again. It would be fine if he were the fat lady in the opera.

| Love love love teh cd. As many out there hate it, makes it even better. Jim Gilette should get an Oscar for screams of first degrees and Angelo, damn you are copperfield on guitar (beside Eddie Van halen off course) A cult band that never got the succes they deserved.

| Don is full of shit--no-one has ever done as incredible guitar soloing as Michael Angelo has--EVER. Don't insult the master. Angelo turns all of the other glam/80's guitarists into his own little puppy dog bitches. Michael Angelo: "Who's your daddy?! Who's your daddy now, bitch!!?!!" George Lynch: "You are, Michael Angelo, YOU ARE!!" I rest my case.

| "Hot Women Doing Wild Shit"? By any chance is that what the acronym H.W.D.W.S. stands for? Curious...
|
| From: Desslar |
Date: June 3, 2002 at 16:14 |
| No, it actually stands for "Hot, Wet, Dripping With Sweat". God I'm embarrassed to know that. If this album sounds anything like the first - it sucks!!
|
| From: Reno |
Date: June 3, 2002 at 16:29 |
| Actually Desslar, this cd does for the most part sound like the first. Tracks 2,3, and 10 are pretty good, but like T-BONE said, he starts in with the screaming again on the rest of the songs. Musically, these guys are pretty good, but Jim Gilette ruins it with the "someone's got my balls in a vice" vocals. Scavange the bargin bins for it, but don't go out of your way.

| Yeah, i picked up a copy of the O.F.R. cd and listened to it all the way through. I have never heard anything like it. I don't know if they were being serious or what, but that music kept my head banging and kept my vocals in tune. Now i am doing covers of Freight Train, Machine Gun Eddie, Double Trouble and of course O.F.R. I wish there was another band like them. It sucks that they called it quits because i became a huge fan. I can't find a copy of H. W. D. W. S. and ibet it is good too.

| Jim Gillette and Michael Angelo are recording a new CD together. It will be the first new disc by them since the "Nitro" CD "Hot, Wet, Drippin' with Sweat". Craig "KC" Kasin from the original "Nitro" will be playing Drums on the new album. Jim and Michael have written more than a dozen great songs in the last few months with more on the way. They are calling the band "Crave". "We have always been a prolific song writing team and Jim is singing better than ever" quotes Michael. The new CD promise

| Although Michael Angelo is a great guitarist and Jim Gillette can really hit those high notes, Nitro have to be the cheesiest hair band ever. This cd sounds totally dated today, as opposed to some really great albums of the same genre that were released the same year. However, despite a couple of embarassing songs on this disc, this one is pretty decent. I can't see it being anybody's all time favorite disc, but there are a few bright moments scattered throughout.

| Whoa--what happened on their second release? The first album was excess to the extreme, and even though A LOT of people couldn't stand it, that's what made it stand out from the pack. This one is so toned down that it now sounds like any other 80's glam band. There are a few good songs here but for the most part it seems like they were just going through the motions. Jaycee Iroc said it best "Where the hell is the screaming and ridiculously fast solos while the drums are playing too loud???"

| Did someone mention C.C. DeVille in the same sentence with Michael Angelo as a guitarist? That borders on heresy! Like O.F.R., this CD shouldn't be taken too seriously, but it's a heck of a lot of fun to listen to.

| Hahaha good lord, Jim Gillette out of tune? This is idiocy, he's perhaps the best vocalist ever...6+ Octaves takes a very talented singer. And to the person who made out CC Deville is better than Michael Angelo, you must be having a laugh,...Poison were cool but not exactly the height of talent. Michael Angelo has to be one of, if not the best guitarist ever, hes a musical genius. I don't know how anyone can even say Nitro were cheesey, they were a group of talented musicians. OFR was extreme, H

| This is "better" than the debut, but then again being shot is probably better than being set alight. Here I did listen to 'Don't go' and 'Crazy love' before I sold it - all the while knowing full well how ridiculous they were, but being able to listen. Once I got rid of the CD I said a prayer of thanks that night and smile daily knowing I never have to hear it again. The worst lyrics ever written, the worst voice ever recorded and just a pathetic CD, IMO.

| Geoff Nitro were one very talented band, and I admit that the lyrics wern't too great but the fact of the matter is, Jim Gillette has got one hell of a set of pipes and perhaps the most powerful voice in metal ever and Michael Angelo is easily the best guitarist on the planet, Yngwie is his only match.

azza u must be deaf n blind jim is ok vocalist n he is very cool at some songs like ''don't go'', ''crazy love''. i'm a big m. angelo fan, since 1991... he is amazing musician n guitar talent. but not best! i'm completely against 'GUITARIST vs. GUITARIST' crap. we need every unique sounded n styled guitarists n musicians. listen to allan holdsworth, shawn lane, wayne krantz, joe pass, ron thal, brett garsed, frank gambale, steve morse. hear the music pal ! speed not means everything!

| I didn't say anything about Michaels sheer speed...I just think he is a magnificent guitarist and is personally my fave guitarist to listen to. If you like Ron Thal then you should check out Mattias Eklundh if you haven't already, both have very unique styles.

| anyone who says this is a bad album should have their hair shaved off, because they are not worthy of listing to true metal such as this. Both the Nitro albums have are awesome, Michael Angelo is an amazing guitar player (I won’t go into the best in the world, because surly any really good guitarist can play almost anything anyway). And Jim Gillette has an amazing voice and is a very talented singer. Bass and drums aren’t very impressive though, this is still an awesome album. so was the O.F.R

| excellent release by NITRO doin the hair metal thing by their own unique way!the musicianship and the vocals are excellent and this one reminds me of a high octane-electro version of PRETTY BOY FLOYD s debut maybe!all the songs are pretty good and especially "crazy love" and "boyz will b boyz" !when i first listened to it back in the day couldnt see how good it is!
