Need Your Love So Bad by Mike Japp

[ballyrotter]

Just read on KISSOnline that Mikel passed on. He co-wrote 3 songs, Aint Quite Right, Take Me Away (Together as one), and Move On on Paul Stanley's 1978 solo LP, which just happens to be my all time favourite album. I've always felt he and Paul should have written another album together because those 3 songs are phenomenal. I was amazed when I went to Wikipedia to discover Mike hadn't had more of an illustrious career, because he obviously had an incredible talent. Condolences to the family. RIP.

[Dogheadj]

I knew from the opening notes I was gonna dig this. Is it Peter Green? No, it's Poodles', doin' it in his own style. And that ain't bad at all!

[Dogheadj]

@Dogheadj By the way, outstanding backing track.

[ChaneLemons]

[cleveroonie]

twas good - layed back. I personally would have liked a bit more passion in the guitar and vocals. Stay off the joints!! only joking.

Still good though

[rowles79]

to much echo on the voice not enough passing notes on the guitar to the backing tracks.

[crnirok1]

Excellent !

[tomgaf]

[upsetter25]

Great rendition of an all-time classic. Vocals are superb as is the guitar playing. And, most importantly, performed with real emotion. I want to hear some more!

[ChuckRuff]

Mike... You still one of the best... Thanks for sharing brother... Hope we can play together again soon... Chuck Ruff

[bizarregreg]

Tremendous player with blues and soul. Killer voice. This guy rips it up!!!!! Never heard better vocals!!!

[bizarregreg]

Does not get any better. great player, unbelievable vocals, a true great player that "WALES" !!!! Amazing talent!!!!!

[strummer1960]

I have known Mike for a few years now. This guy is a super talented song writer and performer, he makes it look easy...We listen to his CD'S all the time. It's music with real heart and soul. Why he isn't on a major record label is beyond me...YOUR THE MAN!

[BettyBoobatemgirl]

Cool... Mike.When are we going to see something from your album "Dreamer" on here?

[pelleboy007]

That is a really nice song, I love the vocal, and nice licks too. Keep up the good work, and keep the movies comming. Peter from Denmark. PS: nice guitar...

[kirtaplekam]

Nice playing Mike

[Jwhaymer]

As always Mike Japp's vocal ability shines. I am impressed with his blues licks as well

[rumpukallu]

Mike Japp show himselof to be a solemate of mine playing one of my old Fleetwood favorites. Dig in folks, not very often you hear this fine 16 bar blues, a format it shares with e.g. Allman Bros´ It's not my cross to bare.

[Poodlechewsit]

Real cool version, oozing with feel.
