UNION - Live At The Galaxy

Recognized as Bruce Kulick's most prominent project before joining up with Grand Funk Railroad, Union always seemed to be a touch second-rate. Yes, the band gave John Corabi something to do after he was booted from Motley Crue, and the both of them are fairly talented players in their own right, but something about Union simply doesn't click. This live performance, unfortunately, does very little to change that.

The addition of both Kiss and Crue songs is completely laughable, since nobody wanted to hear the big-name bands play those the first time around anyway and three added acoustic tracks, including a cover of “Hide Your Love Away” by The Beatles each do little to bring added value to this snoozer.

Corabi is far better off in Ratt, a band that suits his style and allows him to get his glam rock socks hopping without gumming up the frontman spot with Paul Rodgers worship.

All in all, Union will never be a group that’s easy to get excited about. Diehards will take interest, but if you're not a follower of the band, you probably won't get real excited about this record.
