Sebastian Bach, 'What Have I Got To Lose' - Live
Since I was gone all day yesterday, all the weekend chores fall to today and that means I'm scrambling. I'll probably put on some Steely Dan while folding laundry. I can hear Eric listening to Metal downstairs while he repaints walls. I hope you have a Sunday Funday and get a little rest if possible!
For whatever reason I've had "Lunatic Fringe" going through my head the past couple of days. The song is by Red Rider and you surely know it. Thing is, I haven't personally listened to the song in... forever. It was a little disconcerting to wake up to the chorus going through my head over and over each day this past week.
Earlier today, I finally played the song on YouTube so I could listen to it all the way through. Maybe I won't wake up to it in the morning. I have to admit, I wouldn't mind owning As Far As Siam (1981) on vinyl. That album features "Lunatic Fringe" in all its weird and amazing glory. That guitar solo!
WEBN in Cincinnati has used the song as a theme for decades now because they are the "lunatic fringe of American FM." Still, I haven't listened to WEBN in ages because I have SiriusXM.
Maybe I've been reading too much Stephen King? Maybe it's just the nutty world we live in now. No matter, "Lunatic Fringe" is a hell of a catchy song and probably way underrated as far as 80s rock is concerned.
Judas Priest will also play the Louder than Life festival in September. A reunited Slayer, Slipknot, Korn and Motley Crue will headline.
The albums are around $30 each and are available for pre-order now via the AC/DC website or Walmart. They ship next month.
The most important thing here is that Peter London and Michael Sweet remain the core of the band. The band has some European shows coming in the next few months and also perform on the Monsters of Rock Cruise next month.
