Shiprocked ends today, docking me back to Fort. Lauderdale, Florida. Usually I'm sad when vacation ends, but I've got a lot to look forward to this time, so it's all good. In the coming days I'll have tons of show reviews, photos, funny stories and more to share. In the meantime, I guess I need to actually get myself home...and maybe take a nap. I bet I have 134,565 unread emails, voicemails an...

Loud n' Nasty Rock My World

Loud n' Nasty have been around for awhile now. The Swedish Glam band keeps churning out tunes and playing live, hoping to get a loyal following. Right now, Loud n' Nasty have three albums available via Perris Records. Like every other serious band on the planet, Loud n' Nasty has a ton of clips on YouTube. While I continue to float and frolick along the Atlantic Ocean, here's some of my fave Lo...

RATT Gets Shiprocked, Top 5 Videos
-
Artist:
Day four at sea, my dearest landlubbers. The members of RATT are wandering the same cruise ship as your fearless Glam mistress. I wonder who will get more Shiprocked, me or Stephen Pearcy? RATT's been in the studio, working on a new disc for RoadRunner Records. It's supposed to be called Infestation (get it?!) and set to be released in March 2010. While I doubt I'll hear much new RATT during th...

Broken Teeth Will Not 'Roll Over'

Artist:
-
Album:Electric
-
Track:Roll Over
Continuing my coverage by absentia while I'm busying getting Shiprocked, I thought it would be fun to post a couple Broken Teeth clips. Jason McMaster is probably best known for fronting Dangerous Toys, but he also spends a lot of time slinging the mic for Broken Teeth. The band's most recent album is simply called Electric, and that's a fitting word for the work! Featuring 12 tunes, McMaster s...

Crashdiet Will Record Again!
-
Artist:
It's pretty ironic that Blabbermouth ran a story about Crashdiet entering the studio today. Ironic because two days ago I filed an interview request with the band's publicist. I sort of had a vibe something was about to go down, just by watching comments and traffic on the band's Myspace. Simon Cruz joined the band not long ago after singer H. Olliver Twisted jumped ship. Obviously I hope the b...

New Love in Town...and More!

Artist:

Album:
-
Track:
Has anyone checked out the new Europe album, Last Look at Eden? The single "New Love in Town" is a great ballad, and I like the video, too. In a lot of ways, this "new" Europe sounds better than the classic stuff. I don't know if it's because the band is just more comfortable with their songwriting these days or if the production team is better, but the songs on Last Look at Eden really do stan...

White Lion Wednesday
-
Artist:
I'm in the mood for some White Lion on this Wednesday. Obviously we all know that the band has had a ton of lineup changes over the years. Guitarist Vito Bratta was an original member. By all accounts, Bratta was a guitar prodigy who simply walked away from his instrument and rock star life. Singer Mike Tramp stayed with the band, now "sort of" known as Tramp's White Lion. You might recall I ga...

This Will Be My Short Aerosmith Post
-
Artist:
I've refused to comment on the Aerosmith rumors about Steven Tyler quitting the band until now. As you may know, Aerosmith is my favorite band. They have been the most important band in my life, serving as a musical soundtrack to my grade school and high school years. Aerosmith was so important to me, their entire act got me obsessed with the industry as a whole. At some point in high school, i...

Remember Rockhead?
Whew - talk about wonderfully obscure! Rockhead actually featured Bob Rock in a main role. Yes, that Bob Rock. The band even toured with Bon Jovi! You can read a little more about Rockhead here. There isn't much other info on them around the web. If you're not familiar with the band, don't feel bad. Here's "Heartland" Here's "Baby Wild"

Three Metal Wishes
You know the whole "Genie in a bottle" fantasy, right? Rub a bottle, out pops a genie and you get three wishes. What if those were three Metal wishes? Say you had the chance to have any three things you wanted - the only stipulation being that the wish had to be related to Metal music in some way. What would you wish for?I'm not sure I could say what I'd want, to be honest. The power here is gr...

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Just in time for the holiday season, you can purchase a royalty earning share in one of Enuff Z'Nuff's most famous songs. Thanks to SongVest, you can purchase a share of either "Baby Loves You" or "Fly High Michelle." There are all sorts of ways fans can collect music memorabilia, but I think this is one of the most valuable. I've been to the So...

Love/Hate Heartbreak
Halestorm is a great band. The band's self-titled major label debut is pretty mind-blowing when you consider all the luscious guitar solos. Yes, a modern band with guitar solos! Lead singer Lzzy Hale has an awesome rock voice - perhaps one of the best on the scene right now.Halestorm is not only raw enough to be Metal, but also commercial enough to enjoy some mainstream success. The band is get...

Happy Halloween! Elvira is Calling
Remember Elvira? You know, the Mistress of the Dark? Played by Cassandra Peterson, I also sort of associated the Elvira character as being pretty Metal. I have no idea if this is a fair assessment or not, but she sure is a good topic for this Halloween Saturday. The following are some pretty cool Elvira clips. Have a great Halloween!

Why Every Band Needs Their Own 'November Rain'

Track:November Rain
I listen to music when I work. I've done this for as long as I can remember, from high school, through college then at my "real jobs."My most recent real job is ending soon - at the end of next month and I couldn't be happier. Finally, after years and years of trudging through work that meant nothing to me, I'm turning the tables and doing what I want with my life. Yes, I'm about to become a fu...
