Dirty Honey has a new video for their single "Coming Home." Yes, it's a unique take on a road song. It's also a power ballad! The song is on the album Can't Find The Brakes.
Apparently this video is running on MTV U. Who knew but I love it!
It's hard to believe, but Def Leppard's amazing album Pyromania turns 40 this year. To celebrate, the band is doing a big reissue package with all sorts of never-before-seen Pyro-era live footage and unheard demos, too. Yes, this is coming out on vinyl in a few different formats, plus CD and DVD.
The package is due April 26 and you can pre-order now on the band's website.
This is a nice package deal. KK's Priest and L.A. Guns are hitting the road for some shows next month. Burning Witches will also provide support. This is a true metal bill here.
The clubs will be full of white dudes wearing black hoodies and girls like me wearing something hot pink. You gotta love it.
Awhile back, I posted Sebastian Bach's new song "What Have I Got To Lose?" Over the weekend, he performed it live for the first time. The song will be featured on Bach's next solo record, which will reportedly be "heavy." No release date as of yet.
I had a very busy day yesterday including a tax appointment. After that long appointment I just happened to see the post below and I laughed harder than I should have, I'm sure. On a music related note, I can log in to Discogs on my laptop... and not my phone. Same password of course. Make it make sense!
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.
I didn't know about this but I am excited!
Greg Prato has written a book about RATT
called World Infestation. The book came out the first of this month and is getting good reviews. You better believe I added this bad boy to my Kindle as soon as I learned of its existence. Expect a review soon! (But I have to finish my current Stephen King first).
