Guns n' Roses Release New Track In Typical Guns n' Roses Fashion

Not a peep on the band's official social media regarding the drop of "Perhaps," a new track from Guns n' Roses. Instead, GnR released the song to Audacy radio stations. Then the song was put on YouTube - and naturally - removed. Now "Perhaps" is appearing on official streaming sites by time zone - with Australia currently having access as of noon ET on 17 August. Totally bizarre and totally on brand for Guns n' Roses.


So would you like to hear "Perhaps?" The song isn't exactly new. It is from the Chinese Democracy era and you can tell immediately by listening to the piano bits. No, this isn't Appetite For Destruction worthy, folks!

Remember The Last Vegas? 

The Last Vegas toured with Motley Crue back in 2009ish after winning a contest and beating thousands of other bands (details are buried in this site from back then!)


The Last Vegas hasn't released a full-length album since 2016. Nikki Sixx produced the band's 2009 album Whatever Gets You Off. Now there's a random Facebook post from the band that is super vague but I will assume it is a tease that new music is coming. I hope so - The Last Vegas has that gritty sleaze sound.

Stranger Sings Bon Jovi - Everyone Joins In

But really, how can you NOT sing along to Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer?!?" Video taken in London and found via Reddit. Apparently the man who started the "concert" does this regularly and folks love it. I know I do.


This man in a park in London, England started singing ”Livin' on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and the whole park joined in.

'Welcome To The Show' -- New Alice Cooper Song

Alice Cooper has shared another new single from his upcoming album Road due later this month.


The new song is called "Welcome To The Show" and hitmaker and longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin shares some of the writing credit on this one. It's a fun, rocking song and good for driving and also has a 70s feel. Definitely fits the theme of the album!

The Dead Daisies Cover Whitesnake

Just for fun! The Dead Daises - newly reunited with singer John Corabi - just released a video of the band covering Whitesnake's classic "Slide It In." I have to say, Corabi sounds amazing on this song.


Of course guitarist Doug Aldrich was also in Whitesnake and drummer Brian Tichy was too for a hot minute, so that chemistry and muscle memory of the song was already there.


The Dead Daises are going on a short tour this month and next -- but there are no dates near me!

New Hagar-Era Van Halen Boxset Coming

Van Halen will release The Collection II on October 6. Four studio albums from the Sammy Hagar-fronted era will be remastered. There will also be rarities.

The compilation will be available on vinyl and CD. Albums included are 5150, OU812, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance.

It is controversial but I love Balance. It is probably my favorite Sammy Hagar-era release. The album just sounds massive and the tour was great, too. Looks like the pre-order price is right around $125 for the vinyl, which I assumed would be higher. You can click the logo at left to see the Amazon listing.
