Kane Roberts / Saints And Sinners (1991)

Roberts was the guitarist who played on Alice Cooper's 'Constrictor' and 'Raise Your Fist and Yell' and their respective tours. He is the man responsible for Alice's metal years in the late '80s as he co-wrote nearly every track from those albums. Just by being on stage, he was a part of the show with his huge physique and rocket shooting guitars. After "Raise Your Fist", Kane released his first solo album in which featured Alice lyrics on 'Full Pull' track. He then guested on "Trash" album , playing guitar on "Bed Of Nails". Back in 1991 Kane Roberts released a second solo album which was titled "Saints and Sinners". A more commercial sound with sing-a-long choruses, huge melodic lines and hooks and some great guitar work. For this album Roberts had a little help by some huge names of that era such as Desmond Child , who was the man behind the production and also co-write some of the tracks, Diane Warren ,Jack Ponti, Vic Pepe and Jon Bon Jovi with Richie Sambora. All in all a great anthemic hard rock album and a must have.
