Durbin, 'Hallows' -- New Video

Remember when James Durbin was on season 10 of American Idol? Remember when he was the frontman for Quiet Riot? Well, now he has his own band, simply called Durbin. The act will release a debut soon via Frontiers.

The video for the song "Hallows" is below. It's a single from Screaming Steel. Durbin previously released a video for the album's title track. Check out "Hallows" below. Metal!

Who Remembers HSAS?

I came across a video from HSAS the other day and I was blown away because this is a group I hadn't thought about in forever.

HSAS is Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve. That is Sammy Hagar, guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Kenny Aaronson and drummer Michael Shrieve. The band lasted for like a year because the members were obviously pretty busy with their main projects. Still, the quartet put out an album on Geffen called Through the Fire and a single called "Whiter Shade of Pale."

Folks that got to see HSAS live are very lucky!

Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie Announce Tour

It's approproately called "Freaks on Parade" because Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie are heading out on tour together. Even better, Filter and Ministry and joining them on the road, too! Tickets on sale next Tuesday!

This is a late summer run so I sort of wonder if earlier dates will be added, but we will see. Regardless if there is a date near you, my advice is to go. I've seen every act on this bill live and they are all awesome - especially Cooper of course!

It's the Orange and White Barncat For Me

So I missed this from a couple months ago, but Tracii Guns and Jack Russell put out an album together called Medusa. One of the songs on the album is "Next In Line" and it is kind of catchy. No, this isn't setting-the-world-on-fire stuff, but it is solid rock n' roll from two guys that have been doing it forever.

The video isn't anything fancy and is made special by Tracii's orange and white barncat. The furball hangs out the entire time Tracii is playing, which means the cat is used to hearing the guitar a lot. I really enjoy the solo!

Journey Will Play The NFC Championship Halftime Show

The NFC and AFC championship games are tomorrow. That means we will soon know who is headed to Las Vegas and the Super Bowl.

We now know that Journey will play the halftime show for the NFC game between the San Francisco 49ers (boo!) and the Detroit Lions (yes, cat bros)! Kickoff is set for 6:30 pm ET. Watch on Fox.

Of course, Journey is a legendary San Francisco band, so it makes sense why they were chosen as entertainment. Still, their most famous song mentions "south Detroit" so you gotta love this for both teams. Just "Don't Stop Belivin'" Lions fans.

Mick Mars, 'Undone' -- New Video

Here it is! Another new Mick Mars video, this time for the song "Undone." The track is on the upcoming solo debut The Other Side of Mars due February 23.

"Undone" features vocals by Brion Gamboa. I really like this track and it is my favorite of the three releases so far. Hopefully it gets some airplay on Sirius Octane. What do you think?

Guns n' Roses Makes A.I. Video

Guns n' Roses made an official video for their new song "The General." The video was made with A.I. - so all computer generated images of the band. Basically it looks like a video game. I mean, it's not my thing really, but the concept is cool I guess.
