Cross your fingers

Got this off of Jamie Rowes messageboard:

and just for the record...bach and i have had quite a bit of phone and email contact these past few weeks trying to make a new guardian plan happen. :-)

Until they are in a studio or release a new album I'm going to try and not get my hopes up. I must admit though, this is the first old school band in a long time that actually sounds promising. Remember last year was filled with rumors of new stuff by, WhiteCross,Holy Soldier,etc. We haven't heard zilch (except for the recent WC news,but nothing has been said from any band member) from these bands. I think if Guardian releases something new and it does well, then we may see the market change and the others may come back. My question is what will be first:
New Guardian or the long overdue new Neon Cross?

I hear rumors that Barren Cross is working on something for 2008! I have been a fan of all the bands listed and can't wait for any new music!

Chances of another album (percentages sponsored by Fundy and Co.)

Barren Cross - 20%
Bloodgood - 55%
Bride - 88%
Guardian - 29%
Holy Soldier - 32%
Neon Cross - 50%
Sacred Warrior - 3%
Stryper - 95%
Whitecross - 5%

I think you have a more than a good chance of a new Neon Cross CD in the future. They've been working on it for a long time now, and the fans are just at the point of giving up on them. So, now is the time if they are going to do anything.

As for Guardian, well, remember the CD we were supposed to get last year that never happened? With Guardian and Holy Soldier, I'll believe it when I see it.

My bet is on Neon Cross.
I expect something from them this year (I mean it).
The others I certainly ain't holding my breath.

I would probably rais the Guardian percentage to maybe 40-45%. It seems like Jamie and Bach really want to get it going again and I think they will. I think we will get something new this coming year. After a post I read about Holy Soldier I would drop that percent to about 15%. It pretty much said that the door is almost closed on Holy Soldier but Andy added the usual "won't say never". That is the one I am dissapointed in. I saw them a few years back at Sonshine and they really seemed to be back and in the grove of things. That was a tight band.
