By Request: Black Veil Brides -- 'The Legacy'

Yesterday, one of my fine readers asked if I had seen the new Black Veil Brides video for "The Legacy." To be honest I had not. This fine reader pointed out the classic Motley Crue similarities. Think Shout at the Devil era, and you've got it. I'm not going to pass any judgements here, except to say that I think every member of Black Veil Brides looks like Nikki Sixx about two decades ago.

So, while Black Veil Brides is not a Glam band, they did create a pretty Glam video for "The Legacy." Watch and let me know your opinion.

Papa Roach, 'No Matter What' -- New Video

One of my fave modern bands, Papa Roach, have just released a video for their new single "No Matter What." The single is from the album Time For Annihilation: On the Record and On The Road. The clip was directed by Jesse Davey.

The song has that classic Papa Roach "sound," but seems unique at the same time. I really like the song. The video is interesting -- a treatment I never would have expected from P. Roach. Watch.

Heavy Metal Strawberry Pickers

Have you heard of the movie Heavy Metal Strawberry Pickers? It focuses on the fictional Glam band Kitty Kitty Bang Bang after grunge took over the metal scene. I'm actually talking to the film's director next week, but I couldn't wait: I just had to post some clips from the movie for you to enjoy. I haven't watched the entire film yet, but I will. It's going to be awesome.

Ozzy 30th Anniversary Box Set - Anyone Buying?

Who here is getting the Ozzy Osbourne 30th anniversary box set? These remasters are the "definitive" versions of the Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman albums with better sound and previously unreleased bonus tracks. You can get the albums individually or as a special box set. The legacy edition of Diary of a Madman includes a bonus CD of previously unreleased live performances, featuring Randy Rhoads.

The big box set comes complete with remastered vinyl and CD editions of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman and lots more including a 100 page coffee table book, poster and DVD among other things.

Here's some footage from the DVD in the deluxe box set called Thirty Years After the Blizzard. It is truly great quality.

In case you are wondering, all this awesomeness doesn't come cheap. Looks like the deluxe set is $150 bucks. Check out photos, a full track listing and order through Ozzy's MyPlay Direct site.
