The Burden Of Being Wonderful

Also, Metallica will perform during the Grammy telecast and I'm looking forward to seeing some rock music during the show for a change!
Jake E. Lee's Red Dragon Cartel just released a video for the track "Deceived." The song is on the band's forthcoming self-titled debut. You can pick up that debut on Jan. 28.
I noticed some people online complaining that the track sounds too much like Ozzy's "Bark at the Moon." Personally, I don't see how that could be considered a bad thing!
Companies continue to rely on classic rock to sell products. Enter Yoplait Yogurt. I was getting ready for work the other day, and heard Boston's "More Than A Feeling" coming from the TV in the other room. I assumed the song was being used to hock this or that, but I didn't think much more about it... until yesterday. Because of the holiday, I was off work and happened to be watching TV in the middle of the day. On came a Yoplait commercial for Boston Cream Pie yogurt, set to "More Than A Feeling."
Yoplait sure must sell a ton of Boston Cream Pie yogurt to make the licensing on "More Than A Feeling" affordable!
All bands pay tribute to their influences, but Austin, Texas based Scorpion Child might be taking that notion to a whole new level. It's one thing to be a modern band with a throwback sound. It's quite another to be a modern band with a genuine classic sound so authentic, the Led Zeppelin comparisons are actually legitimate.
Scorpion Child just released a full-fledged, self-titled debut and I have to say I'm impressed. Then again, I'm a classic rock lover of the highest order. Let me know what you think.
Here's some new Glam for you on this winter Sunday. Meet The Relapse Symphony, a newish band from Washington, D.C. The band cites the Sunset Strip bands we love - as well as newer acts like My Chemical Romance - as major influences.
If you like what you hear, pick up The Relapse Symphony's debut EP Time's Running Out on iTunes.
Eddie Trunk tweeted out the above ad the other day (he has since deleted that tweet). The validity of the ad can't be confirmed, but if this really is the Motley Crue farewell ad mat, we know two things: one, that Dodge is sponsoring the tour and two, Alice Cooper is the opening act. Alice makes a ton of sense and would be a huge boon to the tour. We all know the guys in Motley cite Alice as a major influence. Having him along for the ride would be huge. Now I'm even more excited for this tour! We'll know if Alice is on board January 28th when Motley make their official farewell tour announcement.
Also, if Dodge really is the tour sponsor, I suspect we'll hear some classic Crue in a Dodge ad during the Super Bowl.
