Monday, July 17, 2017 at 12:01AM Mr. Big are back with new music. The band will release Defying Gravity on July 21. To celebrate this new album, the band just released a video for the title track. This is the first Mr. Big album since the 2014 release The Stories We Could Tell.
Sunday, July 16, 2017 at 12:11AM Flag this: Tom Keifer canceled a few solo shows over the past few days due to vocal cord issues. He has famously battled vocal cord paralysis and is seemingly doing much better.
Apparently, this past week his vocal cords were so strained a doctor advised him not to sing. Presumably Tom is better now as his official Facebook is promoting the Loud n' Lima gig coming up next weekend. I wish him well and I know you do, too.

Friday, July 14, 2017 at 12:01AM The trailer for the mini documentary Hysteria at 30 is here. Def Leppard is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Hysteria with many different reissue packages. The mini documentary is also part of this celebration. I decided that I would go ahead and get the big package when released on August 4. I want all the b-sides and extended versions of the standard Hysteria tracks. What I most want is the audio of "In The Round, In Your Face."
In the short trailer below, Joe Elliott talks about embracing the era and his band's unique sound. I love that. Def Leppard really did rule the 80s - and Hysteria is the reason why.
Thursday, July 13, 2017 at 12:01AM Here we go: a new L.A. Guns video featuring both Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis! The video is for the song "Speed" from the upcoming album The Missing Peace, due October 13. It's great seeing Lewis and Guns back together again in the same band. Apparently Tracii has been working on the music for The Missing Peace for over a decade - so this better be good!
Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 12:01AM Quiet Riot just posted "Wasted" online for fans. It's from the album Road Rage. Do you think Nikki Sixx got a writing credit on this, because that intro sure sounds like "Dr. Feelgood."
I have to say, I'm not too impressed with this one. Agree or disagree?
Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 12:01AM Ozzfest Meets Knotfest goes down November 4 and 5 at the Glen Helen Amphitheater and Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, California. The lineup was just announced and headliners include Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Stone Sour. There are heaps of bands on the two-day bill and tickets go on sale Saturday. Could be a fun fall festival if you're in the area.
