House of Lords is the eponymous debut album by House of Lords, a Giuffria spin-off band, featuring keyboardist Gregg Giuffria. It was released in 1988 on Kiss bassist Gene Simmons' own label and distributed by RCA Records. The album reached position No. 78 in The Billboard 200 Chart on February 25, 1989.[2] Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick (with whom the band would later tour) co-wrote the song "Slip of the Tongue". Jeff Scott Soto of Talisman can be found on backing vocals throughout the whole album. Many other popular hard rock musicians has contributed to the songwriting of the songs on the album, including Stan Bush, David Glen Eisley of Giuffria, Johnny Warman and Mandy Meyer of Asia.
This is the first compact disc that Greg Giuffria, originally from Angel, released after the band Giuffria disbanded to form House Of Lords. The song "Love Don't Lie", which is a very good song by the way, was on Headbangers Ball on MTV back in 1988 and this is what introduced me to this group. I bought it on cassette back then, and sold it two years later because I was collecting only compact discs by this time. So I have not heard this since 1990 until now. I am glad to have this rare compact disc now, I really did not know that they stopped printing some cds, until recently when I tried to find some at music stores around where I live. Which is bad, because it makes you have to pay more for some of the rare cds out there. It reminds me of the sound of Stryper a bit with how the vocals are done. It is overall a good cd that reminds me of the eighties hair band/ metal groups of the time. The only thing bad about the group now, in 2008, is that Greg Giuffria is no longer in the band that he started. I heard that he is a tax broker, or something, but I wish that he would stay in this band, because he originally formed it.Read full review
A bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but I had this on cassette back in the day and wanted the CD.It puts me in a good mood and reminds me of the late '80s. Thanks.
