John Corabi To Release Solo Album

John Corabi will finally release Live 94 (One Night in Nashville) on February 16, 2018. The self-titled Motley Crue album is the best the band ever released. The problem, of course, is that Corabi was singing and not Vince Neil. I love Corabi's voice but a lot of Motley's fans just couldn't get over the change.

I heard Corabi do all of Motley Crue '94 and it was awesome. I'll be getting this album.

Queen To Receive Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award

You would have thought this had already happened, but better late than never I guess: Queen will receive the Record Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award. Other recipients this year include Tin Turner, drummer Hal Blaine, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, The Meters and bandleader Louis Jordan.


Believe it or not, Queen has never won a traditional Grammy award. I suppose this proves that such awards don't really mean much at all - Queen was always in a league of their own. True genius.


The 60th annual Grammy Awards will be held on January 28 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

'Just Like Tiger Woods'

Steel Panther posted a fan-made video for their 2011 song "Just Like Tiger Woods." It made me laugh, so here you go (and yes, this song is catchy as hell):

Remembering Steve Clark

Steve Clark died on this date in 1991 at age 30. I often wonder how the trajectory of Def Leppard would have continued if Steve had gotten sober and lived to enjoy this immense success.

To their collective credit, the members of Def Leppard have done a great job keeping the memory of Steve alive. This is a group of men that has exhibited true friendship in the face of a host of crises. What would have broken most bands just made Def Leppard stronger.

Here's a great throwback clip of Steve performing in 1983.

'Aerosmith' Is 45 

I missed this by a couple days because my math was off - but Aerosmith, the self-titled debut of my favorite band, is now 45.

That's sort of unreal to me.

Aerosmith was together a few years before their debut for Columbia records. The album came out just a few months before my parents go married. This means 45 years worth of "Dream On."

New Bulletboys Music Is Here

The Bulletboys will release From Out Of The Skies on March 23rd. The first single and video from the album is called "D-Evil" and you can watch the clip below. The track features guest vocals from Jesse Hughes of Eagles Of Death Metal.


This is definitely on my "most anticipated releases of 2018" list.

The Guns n' Roses Reunion Grossed A Ton Of Cash

This is pretty darn impressive. The Guns n' Roses reunion known as the "Not In This Lifetime" tour is now the fourth biggest tour ever.

Billboard says the tour has topped the $475 million mark.

U2 has the top selling tour of all time for their 2009-2011 stadium tour. The number two spot goes to the Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang" tour which ran from 2005-2007 and the third most successful tour is Coldplay's "A Head Full of Dreams" tour that ran from 2016-2017.

Of those tours listed, the only one I saw was the GnR (mostly) reunion. If you didn't get to see the show, there's a full pro-shot stop morning below. Enjoy and happy Friday!
