Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 12:01AM Bullet For My Valentine just released a new video for the song "Breaking Point." The song is from the album Temper Temper. I saw Bullet For My Valentine a couple weeks ago at Rock on the Range in Columbus and it was a great show -- one of the best of the weekend, actually. I know BFMV isn't a Glam band, but they sure are solid and I do love them a lot.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:01AM It's National Running Day. There's no better time to discuss awesome metal tunes for running. I've found that classic thrash and metalcore work best for me. When it comes to hill training I need something really aggressive... when I'm doing a long run I need something that will distract me. I quite enjoy running and the sense of accomplishment when I'm done. That said, I'm not good at the sport: I'm slow. I'm determined, I prod along. I work hard. I remain slow. I've decided to come to peace with that and just embrace my abilities. It's okay to be a back of the pack runner. I do races, put on my metal and mind my own business. Some of the songs I listen to the most when running are Motley Crue's "Wild Side," Asking Alexandria's "The Final Episode" and especially I See Stars' "Electric Forrest."
What tunes do you love for running... or exercise in general?
Oh, and here's a video for National Running Day. Bret Michaels even found his way into a running promo!
If you're a runner -- the Rock n' Roll Marathon Series is running a $20 discount today. Might be worth your time to register today if there is a race near you.
Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 12:01AM Ok Glam fans, I've got a new band for you: Station, from New York City. The band just released their first EP called Wired and they sound like all the 80s acts we love! Some of you probably saw them at Rocklahoma. Check these guys out!
"Don't Take Heaven Away From Me"
"Everything"
Monday, June 3, 2013 at 12:01AM We have our own Metalboy! to thank for this one! He sent me a link to this super rare clip of Cinderella doing "Shake Me" back in 1984. The clip is absolutely amazing. Check out how young Tom is... and oh his voice! Spectacular!
