We touched on this one yesterday, but we're going to follow it up by making it our album o' the week. This album came out in '89, but for some reason to me it seemed like an 90's record. I think it's because right after this album came out I had moved back to North Carolina and away from my South Dakota buddies with whom my metal roots were forged. I got into this record for a little bit, but it never rocked me like the earlier Crue albums. After doing…

Here it is folks, the best magazine going (in OZ) anywhoo, I'm fairly sure that someone, somewhere in that 270 or so million people you got there, should be able to get this for ya.

Cheers

Dave…

but we have had this discussion several times now amongst my friends but now we open the can with our new fans we gained as benefit from this blog. Dave got me started with his comments on Dee Snider while he was in Sydney. What are our favorite shows? Mine would have to be the Hysteria show with Tesla opening in Rapid City, South Dakota (1988, possibly?) with close second being Metallica and the Cult coming either later that year or in '89. Both were very good. The next few belong to club…

G'day gang,

Just flicking through CLASSIC ROCK, and they pose an thought provoking question, that question being should bands replace deceased lead singers or should they continue on under a different name with a new frontman ?

some examples would be

THIN LIZZY, John sykes does vocals now, should they change their name

QUEEN got paul rodgers in, different style to Freddie, I think there just a queen cover band now.

Obviously AC/DC did alright after…

Good one today for our version of Which Song Rocked Harder. I was listening to Cult Of Personality the other day when I thought this band might be a good one to feature in our weekly melee. I still remember the time I first HEARD this song playing. I was with Crazy From the Heat and Joe Saytch in our local teen center. Good song, I remember thinking. As we moved towards the TV the shocked…

show and it's participants here several times in the past, I saw a "rockumentary" today on the Osbourne family. Obviously it had an Ozzy slant but had interviews with all the members of the family. Man, that Jack has toned down and looks like he's in good health. Good for him. He probably didn't have the normal growing up lifestyle, so maybe I should cut the guy a little slack. One thing I found interesting : I always thought Sabbath and Ozzy had a mutual break and I learned today he was…

g'day all, how ya's going?

Sitting here on saturday morning while the boy is at soccer, amnd the wife and daughter have gone to see zodiac at the flicks.

I was watching some metal docs that i've got and i was wondering if you lot have seen them as well, they are as follows:

LOUDER THAN LIFE

METAL- a headbangers journey

& the decline of western civilisation which actually is a VHS cause DVD weren't invented yet, i think my favourite is LOUDER THAN…

back to the office today from lunch I was listening to a little mix CD I made the other day. Thank god for digital music. Can you remember the days of rewinding, changing tapes, fast forwarding and the like? Like Dave pointed out with his MP3 List, the digital music library can be vast and ever-changing. It might put an end to the "album" concept as we know it. When was the last time anyone put 10 or more good songs together on one record? Don't answer that, because we'll all disagree, so…

G'day, we ask this question on a soccer team forum I'm a member of ...GO THE CENTRAL COAST MARINERS..... anyway this week on me good old MP3..i've got

anthrax, priest, the darkness, faster pussycat, aerosmith, autograph, y&t, britny fox, L.A guns, Lordi, Metallica, The Crue, Murderdolls,Queensryche, rob zombie, Dio, Skid row, vixen, hammerfall, dragonforce, hanoi rocks, maiden, cinderella, bon jovi, Ozzy, kiss, deep purple, motorhead, poison, alice, roadstar, thunder (the uk band,…

David Lee Roth's solo opus. Skyscraper is his biggest solo hit, but this one is the one that introduced solo Dave to the world. Tobbacco Road (thanks for the shout out Dave), Yankee Rose, and Goin' Crazy all are standouts from this record, but it's pretty good from top to bottom. Relive the endless summer that was nineteen hundred and eighty six with Eat 'Em and Smile because it's our Album O' The Week!…
