Def Leppard has a new video for their song "Rocket." It comes from the upcoming CD/DVD package London to Vegas due April 24. The clip of "Rocket" was from a performance at the O2 Arena. Enjoy!
Gather 'round children. It is time for a fireside chat with your glam mistress Allyson. I would like to suspend our daily conversations about glam and instead turn our focus to the coronavirus, also known as Covid-19.
I bring this up since it was discussed in the comments section yesterday.
Today, I would like to remind you to be extra vigilant about hand washing. Use warm water and soap and lather for 20 seconds. Sing the ABCs and you'll be good. Remember to get the tips of your fingers as these are often missed.
During a communicable disease outbreak it is best to avoid handshakes. Fist bumps work or better yet, just nod your head. It is fine.
Cough into your elbow or use a tissue. Immediately discard the tissue.
If you are sick, stay home. If your kids are sick, keep them home.
If you take public transportation, avoid touching elevator buttons, stair rails and the like. Pay attention to your surroundings and avoid gathering in a tight pack like on the subway. If someone coughs around you, turn away from them.
Carry hand sanitizer. Lysol wipes are great for wiping down door handles and light switches. Stock up on some bleach this weekend.
Since the supply chain will be messed up due to factory closures in China, it would be wise to grab some extra OTC meds you like such as Advil or Tylenol.
You do not need to wear a mask in public or otherwise.
Now - about concerts: will tours be canceled? If we have a massive outbreak of coronavirus in America, then yes, shows will be canceled. Will entire tours be scrapped? Perhaps but I highly doubt it. Life does go on. You have to use common sense. If there was a big outbreak in say, Cleveland, and you wanted to go to the Rock Hall next weekend would you still go? Probably not, that wouldn't be smart.
Have a plan to take care of yourself and your family members and we will all be okay. And please, wash your hands!
I didn't realize this was happening - Poison has added solo dates around The Stadium Tour shows. So if you are not into Motley Crue or Def Leppard but really love Poison, this might be for you!
We just added 2 more dates to the World Tour 2020! Presale starts tomorrow.
Aug 12 - Foxwoods, Mashantucket, CT Sept 4 - The Pearl, Las Vegas, NV
Def Leppard will release London to Vegas on April 24 as a DVD/CD package. The package will feature a 2018 live performance from London's O2 Arena and then a show from the Las Vegas residency. I do not even remember the last time I purchased a DVD. I stream everything now and do not like to find places to store physical media. I know most people are like me. Still, these sorts of packages must be selling. Otherwise, why bother, right?
Metallica frontman James Hetfield is working on his mental health and sobriety. To that end, Metallica has canceled festival gigs, including the headline slot at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio this May. The band will be replaced by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool. Some will see this as an upgrade. Others will be disappointed. Honestly I just hope James gets the help he needs.
It is hard to believe that Judas Priest has been around for 50 years, but here we are.The 50 Heavy Metal Years Tour kicks off the fall. Sabaton will offer support. This is going to be something to see - don't miss it!

Mike Tramp has released a video for his song "The Road" from the album Second Time Around. That album comes out in May. He will tour America this spring and summer in support of the new album. I'm looking forward to hearing more tracks from Second Time Around. Could be promising.
