FIGHT: Mutations CD Collectors Edition. live tracks + studio remixes. Signed Autographed by Rob Halford + Scott Travis (Judas Priest)

Description

Fight was an American heavy metal band assembled by Judas Priest frontman, Rob Halford, after his departure from that band in 1992. He took with him from Judas Priest and Racer X drummer Scott Travis, though Travis also continued to drum for Judas Priest. The line-up was completed by Russ Parrish on guitar, Brian Tilse on guitar and keyboards and Jack “Jay Jay” Brown on bass guitar.
The Fight musical proposal was quite different from Halford’s former band; it was a mix between the classic metal sound created by Judas Priest and the new, edgier sound of bands like Pantera.

Mutations is a compilation album released by heavy metal band Fight in 1994. It features live tracks and studio remixes from first album.
Four live tracks (including Priests “Freewheel Burning”) and five remixes from War of Words are featured on this second release. The remixes are noteworthy because of their tendency toward industrial dance sounds, and are the precursor to Halford’s work with guitarist John Lowery in the post-Fight group Two.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent remix CD,
The collectors edition of this CD is worth the price. The live tracks sound great. Especially the opener Into the pit.Nailed to the gun sounds good.Fight even plays a Judas Priest classic,Freewheel Burning. It shreds! The last half of the cd includes the remixes.The songs differ from industrial to dub except Little Crazy.It is difficult to describe.It is so schizophrenic! Best track on here I think.If you want to hear something different this CD is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROB HALFORD !!!!!!,
Fight was Rob Halford’s post-Judas Priest project, formed after he quit the band. First album `War Of Words’ was a barnstorming debut from the band, but then Halford had been in the Metal business for more than 20 years, so Fights success wasn’t a great surprise.
The live tracks are performed with passion and conviction, so no complaints there. Fights sound is completely interchangeable with Judas Priests, and “Into The Pit” and “Nailed To The Gun” could very easily have come from Priests `Painkiller’ masterpiece. The cover of “Freewheel Burning” sounds right at home next to them. “Little Crazy” however, does not sound like a Judas Priest song, with its Blues-inspired swagger bursting into a crowd-pleasing sing along. This particular audience needs no encouragement; they start singing the name of the song as soon as the first notes of the intro are played!!!!!!!! By the way, what did the girl say between “Its all right” and “I’m just a little crazy” ? Seems to me that she says “Rob Halford!!!!” Pretty weird, huh?
So to the remixes. If you’re expecting Fear Factory-style Cybernetic Electronica, with Dub or Gabba mixes, you’re in for a disappointment. The guitar riffs take on a more staccato sound, the bass has been boosted, a couple of breakdowns have been worked in and a fairly basic dance beat was added in places. Its deconstruction-lite, so as not to alienate too many Metal fans, which makes perfect sense.
