Reviews Customer Reviews for Fighting      3.5 stars      Rating:      Not their strongest effort, but it has its strong points in songs like the gritty and aggressive "Suicide" and the soulful "Wild One." "Ballad of the Hard Man" is a pretty strong closer, too. It's a good album for the big fans of the band, but not where I'd start a new fan.     Customer Reviews for Fighting Cd      Like a fine wine...      Rating:      I bought this album when it came out after hearing "Fighting My Way Back" on the radio(man,I miss bay area free-form radio),and it seems I love it more now than when it came out.Exceptional throughout.The guitar tones as well as the playing from Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson are awesome(I'm thinking in general Scott's the rounded lead tone and Brian the biting lead tone-kind of like Dickey and Duane back in the day).I love how "For Those Who Love To Live" goes from crying harmonies for the intro to smooth diads and triads for the verses to chunkiness in the chorus.Tasty Les Paul tones to the max.I always get a pang of sadness when Phil sings "I love to live" as the song is winding up.Same with "Wild One",very passionate and "Spirit Slips Away",vibey and atmospheric.Rest in peace,Phil.Another great rock musician gone way too soon. All the guitar playing on this release is very melodic with an awesome sense of feel."Fighting My Way Back","Kings's Vengeance",and "Freedom Song" are examples of this but they could sound mean as well like on "Suicide" and "Ballad of a Hard Man".Really not a bad track on this record though Rosalie and Silver Dollar might be 3 or 4's out of 5.I also have Jailbreak, Johnny the Fox,Live and Dangerous,Black Rose and Bad Reputation,all on vinyl-yes,I'm a fan.But this album ,my first purchase by the band has truly gotten better with age.Dang,now I want a Les Paul Deluxe.
