Happy Mother's Day 2015!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Glam moms out there! Make sure you call your mom today, she misses you I'm sure. I'm taking my mom out for a big Mother's Day brunch. Hopefully you have a great holiday, too!


Here's some Def Leppard since my mom let me listen to Hysteria when I was too young to understand what any of the songs meant. All the mothers of my friends at the time were lame and tried to censored what their kids listened to... shortsighted for sure. I can't imagine my life without Def Leppard or Hysteria when I was young!



And here's something really cool: a video of a Def Lep soundcheck from back in 1988. Love seeing Steve Clark at work.

Great M3 Videos!

I didn't get to attend M3 last weekend, but YouTube is the next best thing. There really wasn't much buzz online leading up to the event, which is odd, but still. It seems like those who went had a great time. Here's the entire set from the Winery Dogs



Here's "Queen of the Reich" from Queensryche



And of course, some Dokken...

Bands confirmed for ShipRocked 2016--fueled by Monster Energy--include headliners Five Finger Death Punch, along with Seether, Halestorm, Hellyeah, Helmet, 10 Years, Nonpoint, Avatar, Islander, ’68, Children 18:3, The Dead Deads, plus ‘80s cover band Rubix Kube, DJ Lippy Rage, and more.

ShipRocked 2016 staterooms are on sale now at www.ShipRocked.com.

Zoltan Bathory, guitarist for Five Finger Death Punch says, "ShipRocked isn't just another show. It's a music festival, and a vacation rolled into one unique experience. The whole ship is a big backstage party where every fan is invited. We are excited to return and headline the cruise in 2016. See you on deck…"

Undoubtedly one of the most relevant and successful rock bands globally, Five Finger Death Punch dominated 2013 with the releases The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell - Volume 1 and Volume 2. Both volumes debuted on the U.S. Billboard album chart at #2 (more notably, within a four-month period) and in the top ten mainstream charts all across the globe. The two albums feature three #1 radio hit singles (“Lift Me Up” featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest, “Battle Born” and “Wrong Side Of Heaven”) and have combined sales of over 800,000 units to date. The multi-million selling rock titans’ single “The Wrong Side Of Heaven” was their 14th consecutive top ten hit at Active Rock Radio and the video for the song has over 24 million views online. The band will release their highly anticipated sixth album this summer. Visit www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com for more information.

Since their formation in 1999, Seether has become one of the most successful bands in the world. The hard-rocking outfit has released seven albums, two of which have gone Platinum and two more that are certified Gold. The consistent hit makers have enjoyed massive support at rock radio with singles sales topping seven million. Additionally, Seether has emerged into global headlining mainstays, regularly delivering blistering performances at many of the world's biggest rock festivals. Their sixth studio album, Isolate and Medicate was released in July 2014 to rave reviews and impressive sales with a #4 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart. The album’s first smash single “Words As Weapons” spent five weeks at #1, making it the band’s 12th #1 hit. “Nobody Praying For Me,” Isolate and Medicate’s just-released third single, has quickly been embraced by rock radio as Seether sets up for another dominant run on the airwaves.

Widely acknowledged as one of modern hard rock’s most explosive live acts, Halestorm made a stunning Top 5 chart debut in April with their acclaimed new album, Into The Wild Life. The GRAMMY® Award-winning band’s long awaited third studio album arrived at #5 on the Billboard 200, and #3 on SoundScan’s “Top Current Albums” chart while also entering their “Top Current Rock Albums” chart and “Top Current Hard Music Albums” chart at #1, marking Halestorm’s highest placement to date on all charts. Visit www.HalestormRocks.com for more information.

Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale says, "After years of us hearing stories from all of our peers about what a great time ShipRocked is...the time has come to experience it for ourselves! It's our first time, so please don't be gentle! See all you Freaks on the high seas!!!”

Produced by ASK4 Entertainment, the Ultimate Rock ‘N’ Roll Cruise will feature once-in-a-lifetime performances and musical collaborations during the roundtrip ocean voyage from Miami onboard Norwegian Pearl, with a day at port in Costa Maya, Mexico.

Def Leppard Prepare Fall Release

At a recent concert, Def Leppard flashed the image below on the jumbotron - announcing their new album will hit stores in the fall. Def Lep always reminds me of summer - in fact, my summer never feels complete unless I see them live. I got my tickets for this summer's run the day (ok, the minute) they went on sale. Can't wait!
