to celebrate the reunion propose the review of the album best of all-star band called Mr. Big. Mr. Big are in fact composed of four monsters, technically speaking: Eric Martin (vocals, also sings in his band, The Twin Dragons), Paul Gilbert (guitar, also plays in Racer-X), Billy Sheean (called "the Van Halen of the bass, "ex-David Lee Roth and two thousand other bands) and Pat Torpey (drums, also played with Chris Impellitteri). In the last two albums was replaced Gilbert with Richie Kotzen, resulting in radical change of sound.
Mr. Big was born in 1988, after the departure of David Lee Roth Sheean by band: with the help of producer Mike Varney contact other prospective members to begin a project that started with the intention of doing a bang. 
The notoriety comes just as expected and the first album, the valuable "Mr. Big" in 1989, hit in Japan, but is struggling to establish itself in the world. The success in the East still ensures the band's role in the tour opener of the American prog rockers Rush in 1990.
In the same year the record that Mr. Big and the customs clearance of the general public, "Lean Into It," features a hard rock (or if you prefer "AOR", or "Adult Oriented Rock ") simply state of the art. The eye-catching cover depicts a detail of a photo taken after the derailment of a train in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris, in 1985. The album contains two songs that earned the success and became famous thanks to a little radio airplay 'everywhere. go into detail in the review.

Opens dances the famous "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Electric Drill Song)" which, after a subdued start, hits you in the face with his brilliant riffs. The real peculiarity of the song is the solo: Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheean at some point she began to pluck the strings with their instruments of a drill which is equipped with picks on the tip! It is not only a sboronata in the studio, so do in live performances! When you say accuracy and a steady hand. follows the beautiful "Alive And Kickin '", my favorite album, classic hard rock of law that arises among the best songs of the genre. "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" is about a girl who lives as if they were in the sixties. The 'green' of the title refers, as explained in the notes of the album, the greenish tint that the images of films of the 60s. Dunno, if they say! The piece opens with a spectacular strikes immediately and unfolds in a captivating and original musical ground. The
'CDFF' in the title of "CDFF - Lucky This Time" is refers to the 'fast forward' (fast forward) of the then infant CD players, and is justified by the original start of the song, which could send in a panic who does not read the title, or the classic 'noise' you hear when you play Fast CD. For the record, the song you hear at this juncture is the bombastic "Addicted To That Rush" of "Mr. Big". The piece is a beautiful semi-acoustic ballad. A solo acoustic
introduces us to the fantastic "Voodoo Kiss", my second favorite piece, which turns out to be stopped with his pace fresh and original.
The lilting "Never Say Never" delights us with a chorus impossible not to sing out loud and accompanies us to the next track, The second single "Just Take My Heart": simply the best ballad I've ever heard in my life. It is recommended for listening at full volume with your soul mate. Poetically beautiful the chorus: "Take my heart when you go, I just did not need."
"My Kinda Woman" brings us up rough terrain with the skill now in evidence for Mr. Big. Part
soft, warm and enveloping "A Little Too Loose" and then burst into an eruption of blues oscar contaminated with hard rock.
We are almost in close contact with the crackling "Road To Ruin", a song about the problems 'heart' consists of Pat Torpey. The epic choruses trascinantissimi blatantly '80s.
It closes with the ballad, the first single, which has pulled the album from rags to riches: "To Be With You". Damn nice, though less than "Just Take My Heart", has an undeniable feeling that more commercial, has made the world. A year ago I was in a mall and I heard on the radio of a grocery store, just to make you understand the degree of fame that has allowed not only to promote the great album, but also to survive until the today!
In the Japanese version is typical bonus track, "Love Makes You Strong", which despite the title is a daring shot rock to a thousand, even if it is less valuable than artistic the rest of the disc. In short, a closure for extra busy Japanese brothers who so love this great band. In the years following the
publish Mr. Big (and a lot of live, often useless) the album "Bump Ahead" (1993, contains the hallucinatory "Colorado Bulldog" and the cover 'trawl' of "Wild World" Cat Stevens) and "Hey Man" (1996, directed towards softer sound than in the past), gaining a growing popularity, but only in Japan. Problem with that, along with disagreements among the members of the band, will lead to the dissolution in 1997 following the abandonment of Paul Gilbert.
Engaged Richie Kotzen in 1999, back on track with our records are not always at the top such as "Get Over It "(2000) and" Actual Size "(2001), and then melt again in 2002 after the release of their seventh and final (!!!) live," Live In Japan ".
In 2009, after to pressure from fans and on the twentieth anniversary of the band, Mr. Big are back with the original lineup to undertake a world tour that has also recently reached Italy and has finally clarified the love of audiences around the world for a of the best bands in rock history.
we expect a new album? Currently there are no official statements, but given the climate of reunion that involved many historical groups in recent years, I think (and hope) that it is very likely .
Meanwhile deliziamoci well with their old, big, vast repertoire.
