Fireworks

Everything's great fine thank you very much

Bonfire unfortunately got sidelined here in America by the advent of grunge so a lot of people missed out on this metal band. The sound is definitely 80s metal, but is awesome for those of us who love the end of the big hair metal era. This reissue is great! It has the original album plus an added 8 live tracks. So basically 2 albums in one.

one of my very best albums to come from the 80's..

I bought this to get better quality copies of the songs from my worn-out original Bonfire Fireworks cassette tape from the late 1980s. Great CD, and it includes several bonus tracks that weren't on my original cassette tape. I was disappointed that it didn't include one from that tape, though--the version of "You Make Me Feel" on the CD is an abbreviated live version instead of the longer studio-recorded version. Overall I'm happy with it, though.

Bonfire is an awesome band that was way under rated and should have been a bigger more arena like band but I sometimes think talent is purposely ignored out of jealously if you like great hard rocking anthems that kick ass then do yourself a favor and buy this album and every other album they made !

Cool music.

Excellent album, wish there were more like it. It is a fantastic album; it isn't sell in my country I had to ship it from us and worth the waiting

Perfect

Für mein Mann bestellt. Top Album.

Bonfire's 1987 album "Fireworks" nearly, and should have, made them worldwide rock superstars....why it didn't is still a mystery!In the UK in 1986 and 1987 rock bands, and their respective albums, such as Bon Jovi ("Slippery When Wet"); Def Leppard ("Hysteria"); Whitesnake ("1987"); Heart ("Bad Animals") and Fleetwood Mac ("Tango In The Night") were taking over both the charts and the airwaves. It did seem that commercial radio stations were reluctant to play anymore rock music than was necessary so newer bands, like Bonfire, faced a backlash which meant that a lot of great rock albums and songs went unheard.Heralding from Germany Bonfire were inevitably compared to The Scorpions, although the only 'Scorpionesque' song on the album is "Rock Me Now", although the band did have a sound of their own. Maybe there's a touch of UFO; Sweet and the harder edge of Bon Jovi in their style to give a 'rough' guide.Surprisingly one of the weakest songs on the album, "Sweet Obsession" was released as a single, a song that was co-written with Joe Lynn Turner, it's okay but there are much better on "Fireworks". "Never Mind"; "Champion" and "American Nights" would have made far superior singles.Also to be found on the album are slower songs such as the amazing "Fantasy" and "Give It A Try"; if Bon Jovi had released the latter as a single it would have been a worldwide hit!It's great to have some live bonus tracks too, especially the awesome "S.D.I." from their first album "Don't Touch The Light", although you may want to wind on/ skip the live version of "American Nights" as it has a compere's boring introduction just shy of 2 minutes.....Bonfire should have been huge, their next album "Point Blank", which should have taken them to the 'next level' was a bit patchy and didn't really build on "Fireworks", but Bonfire are a band that it's worth backtracking on starting with "Fireworks" and then their first album "Don't Touch The Light".....

Estupendo Hard Rock alemán d los 80's y con muy buen y bastó material extra, casi otro álbum, es sencillo, directo y con ese sonido propio d Bonfire, lo tuve en LP y lo redescubri en esta estupenda y ampliada presentación

A mio avviso il migliore album dei Bonfire. Un album hard rock di chiaro stampo teutonico con melodie fantastiche.

Excellente surprise, à l'époque, que la sortie de ce "Fire works" qui valut au groupe d'ouvrir pour JUDAS PRIEST en Europe. Les titres rapides ("Champion", "Ready 4 reaction") ou mélodiques ("American nights") s'enchaînent à merveille, sans oublier une ou deux jolies ballades ("Give it a try").A consommer sans modération
