Bio:
Kane Roberts (born Robert William Athas; January 16, 1962) is an American heavy metal guitarist best known for his tenure in Alice Cooper's band during the late 1980s. He has performed as a solo act.Roberts is notable for his Rambo-like appearance and physique and his usage of an electric guitar shaped like a machine gun.Roberts was the guitarist who played on Alice Cooper's Constrictor and Raise Your Fist and Yell and their respective tours. He is the man responsible for Alice's metal years in the late '80s as he co-wrote nearly every track from those albums. Just by being on stage, he was a part of the show with his huge physique and rocket shooting guitars.After "Raise Your Fist", Roberts released his first solo album, Kane Roberts, which featured Cooper's lyrics on Full Pull. He then guested on Trash, playing guitar on Bed of Nails. He then released a second solo album, Saints and Sinners, which contained the Bon Jovi-penned Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore?, previously recorded by Cher as well.While he is primarily a guitar player, Roberts is also a skilled vocalist, capable of extreme high range, as is evident on his solo projects. He has contributed backing vocals on several albums, including Steve Vai's Sex & Religion, Desmond Child's Discipline, and the song Shocker by the Dudes of Wrath, which served as the title track from the 1989 film of the same name.He also played on the Bob Ezrin produced Count Three & Pray album by Berlin, and the 1986 Rod Stewart album Every Beat of My Heart. He also co-wrote Take It Off with Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin, which appeared on Kiss' Revenge album.Roberts took a long hiatus from music after his second solo album, but returned in 1999 with a band called Phoenix Down, named for a life potion in the PlayStation video game Final Fantasy VII, one of Roberts' favorite games. Phoenix Down recorded only one album, entitled Under A Wild Sky. Fans of both say that much of the record is inspired by the game.After several years away from the music industry, working in graphic arts and as a video game programmer, Roberts began work on a new album, Touched, in 2006.On October 23, 2011, Roberts performed with Talon at Firefest VIII, marking his first live performance in over twenty years.In 2012, Roberts released Unsung Radio, a collection of previously unreleased tracks.
Album:
Saints and Sinners is the second studio album by Kane Roberts. It was produced by Desmond Child, who also has co-writing credits on all tracks."Twisted" was the first single and video released. The video had model and actress Tania Coleridge. The second single "Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore?" became hit on radio and MTV peaking at #38 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It was written by Child, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Diane Warren, and was previously recorded by Cher for her 1989 album Heart of Stone.When KANE ROBERSTS, the muscle-bound guitarist best known for slinging the axe for Alice Cooper (on the legendary Constrictor and Raise Your Fist and Yell albums) released this solo effort "Saints And Sinners" back in ‘91, he created one of the greatest Melodic Hard Rock albums the genre has ever seen, and sadly, few listened.Even to this day, "Saints And Sinners" has rarely been rivaled and remains a near-flawless example of how to craft a hook-drenched ear candy.Now years later, this classic album sounds just as good as it did back then. Actually, it sounds better. Because reissue specialists YesterRock Records have gotten their mitts on it, given it a spiffy remastering, and released it back onto the market in a limited edition version (only 500 copies) that includes 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks on an extra disc."Saints & Sinners" is an over the top commercial Melodic Hard Rock album plenty of catchiness and hooks. Someone told Roberts and company that bigger is better and they decided that if bigger is better, than massive and huge were the only way to go, and go that way they did.The hooks are not merely big, they are humongous, and they are legion. The choruses are monstrous sing-along anthems that soar so high they bump their heads on Heaven’s basement and every one of them is slathered in wall-of-sound harmony vocals that provide the knockout punch, the coup de grace.Take all that and toss in the terrific guitar playing of Roberts and you have the sort of stuff melodic hard rock wet dreams are made of.The album opens with "Wild Nights" and with its call to arms chorus and amazing melodies you just know this album will not let you down.This is quickly followed by the killer "Twisted" and then by the Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Diane Warren and Desmond Child written track "Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?" which has also been recorded by Cher and demoed by Bon Jovi for possible inclusion on the 'New Jersey' album. This song still sends shivers down my spine to this day.The rest of the tracks maintain the high quality, as the masterclass in MR/AOR which is "Rebel Heart", the rowdy "You Always Want It", the kick ass "Fighter" (title says all) or the melodic bliss in the mid-tempo "It's Only Over For You".Now onto the main selling point of this reissue for me, which are the bonus tracks on the extra CD.First up is "House Burning Down" and this is a mid paced melodic rocker with great vibe. It doesn't hold a candle to the main album tracks, but the chorus has a good hook plenty of big '80-style backing vocals and Roberts absolutely rips it up on the solo.Second bonus track is the rocker with a poppy feel "Waiting For You", which while being cool has some differences in sound and a demo smell."Dirty Blonde" on the other hand happens to be the best of the bonuses, a vintage commercial rockin' tune with catchy hooks and a sing-along chorus spiced up with smooth harmonies and gang backups.Last bonus "White Trash" is a cool rocker with some eighties Alice Cooper hints and a kind of Van Halen's 'Finish What Ya Started' swagger to it and a fine chorus.Given how great "Saints & Sinners" sounded back then, the remastering doesn’t significantly improve the quality. But even a diamond benefits from a little polish once in a while, and on this new version the sound gain is better and more dynamic than the '91 CD. And now you have the previously unreleased tracks.The solid songwriting talent combined with Roberts’ stellar guitar skills and the impeccable production from Sir Arthur Payson created something magical in this album, as said, a true Melodic Hard rock gem.If you have ignored this masterpiece in the genre for all these years, then this is an absolutely essential purchase. For those who already own and love this album this is like an upgrade and therefore the one to own.
