How is Chubby Checker not already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Full list below. Gotta assume Soundgarden, Oasis and Billy Idol will get in. Vote for your favorites, now through April 21.

Vince Neil - Motley Crue Statement On Plane Crash

I was on the treadmill last night when I saw the news of a Lear jet crash at Scottsdale airport. Like everyone else, I thought "Another one?" and then I saw that one of the aircraft involved is owned by Vince Neil.

Obviously I was pretty concerned and assumed the worst. As I kept refreshing socials for what felt like forever, I was finally relieved to learn that Vince wasn't on the plane at the time of the crash. His girlfriend Rain Hannah was and she did get hurt with non-life-threatening injuries. Sadly, a pilot was killed and another injured.

Video of crash and full story:

A Pearcy-DeMartini Tour (Maybe)?

I can't find this information anywhere else - including Stephen Pearcy's own social accounts. So maybe the information was released prematurely? At any rate, a full tour featuring singer Stephen Pearcy and guitarist Warren DeMartini playing RATT tunes would be most excellent. Summer fun for sure.

Record Store Day 2025 List Is Out!

In the chaos that was last week, I missed the announcement of the 2025 Record Store Day list! There's some fun things on the list, including special singles and picture discs from Motley Crue, David Gilmour and Beck. Not to mention special releases from Tesla and The Doors. The PDF of the list is available now. Start saving and planning!

Official Video For 'Stand By Me'

A few days ago, I shared the Def Leppard cover of "Stand By Me." Now there is an official video for the track, showing the guys in the recording process, on the road and just goofing off. Also, peep the footage from 1988 when Rick Savage, Phil Collen and Steve Clark performed this same song live with Ben E. King himself (that full video is below, too).

Proceeds from this cover will benefit those impacted by the recent California wildfires.

LA Guns Drop Video For 'Taste It'

1 - TGIF so much. This has been a brutal week.

2 - If you are having issues leaving comments, you are not alone. I am having server connection issues. The entire site needs migrated to a new version of Squarespace and I just haven't had time. So make sure you copy your comments before hitting post. That way if you get a screen of death, you can paste and try again.

3 - The fun news: LA Guns has a new video for their song "Taste It" taking from their upcoming album Leopard Skin due April 4. The video is very tongue-in-cheek. It lets people in on the joke that LA Guns knows they are not a hot "new" band on the block and they are thanking their fans for sticking around so long. "Taste It" is a nice, sleazy track and should be on all your Glam playlists. Enjoy!
