It may surprise some, but I'm a bluegrass fan. I love Alison Krauss and Union Station especially - seeing them live was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. To that end, I was pleased to see Steve n' Seagulls do a bluegrass cover of the GnR hit "November Rain."
The song is on the album Brothers In Farms which came out in September. At the very least, it's worth a listen - very interesting stuff.
December is coming and that means Kenny Ozzfest, which is his annual birthday celebration. This year, Tuff will headline. Kenny is a regular poster here. If you're around the southern Ohio area on December 3, be sure to check this out. The party will be held at MVP Sports Bar & Grille in Cincinnati.
Tickets are just $10 at the door. Click the poster to reserve your spot via Facebook.
Steven Adler joined Guns n' Roses on stage in Argentina for "My Michelle" and "Out Ta Get Me." Over the summer, Steven joined the band for these songs in Cincinnati. I wasn't at that show, but a lot of people I know were and they loved it!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and then it will be time for the Christmas season. That means parties, gifts and ugly sweaters. Maybe you should grab this Iron Maiden sweater and wear to your office party. I guarantee it would be a conversation starter!
SIXX: A.M. has a new track out now called "Barbarians." It's on Vol. 2, Prayers For The Blessed which comes out November 18. The song is pretty good but it actually doesn't sound like SIXX: A.M. to me. It's not heavy in the metal sense, but I'm not sure how to describe it. Chuggy, maybe? What do you think?
You all might recall Allyson posting a video a few months ago from Germany’s Freedom Call. It was fun. They were serious. And they liked not wearing shirts and being manly. At that point, we were praising them for their “Hammer of the Gods” (not the epic Zep book and not, I hope, well, you know, their Germanic virility weapons).
Just so you know, metal . . . is . . . for . . . everyone.
Hey Callers, finally here it is! We can't wait to introduce our brand new video clip 'Metal Is For Everyone' for the upcoming new masterpiece 'Master Of Light'. This time we were initiating an amazingly successful campaign on Facebook we've never seen before. And made it possible that the craziest metalheads from all around the world are assuming the part of the main actors of the video clip! Whether from Thailand, USA, Australia, Chile, Brazil or from almost entire Europe... so incredible, we wanna thank you so much for your creativity, you were really kicking ass! So we could prove that two things are absolutely facts: FREEDOM CALL has definitely the best and happiest fans in the world and... METAL IS FOR EVERYONE!
It is hard to fathom a successful initiation. No less his restraint in only yelling his band’s name and the title of the song. But, if Bay is to be believed (and I dare you to challenge him), this is an international successful initiation, with yelling.
So, I dare you to watch this. And I dare you not to be happy after doing so. Is there a problem with being a care-free (but strong), confident (yet exposed), international (yet German), carrier of the flame that is metal? I don’t think so. Even if I did, I wouldn’t try to stop Bay from mounting (I mean that figuratively) his crusade to champion metal . . . yes . . . for . . . everyone.
Not sure who had what. But I am having what they are having!
