New Glam: Sweet Creature

Stockholm-based Sweet Creature is a new hard rock band fronted by Martin Sweet, best known as the lead guitar player of glam/sleaze metal band CRASHDÏET.
Martin Sweet describes the music as old school hard rock with gloomy lyrics and melodies. The band's debut album will be out October 25. Here's a sample of their sound.

Twisted Sister Announce Last Ever U.S. Live Show

Twister Sister will play their last ever U.S. live show on October 22 at Badlands Pawn Guns Gold And Rock 'N' Roll in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Tickets are on sale now and the prices start at $85 a head. Order at BadlandsBoxOffice.com.

It's kind of sad, but we'll be seeing more of these final show announcements within the next five years I suppose. Everyone has a right to move on or retire. See your favorite bands live now!

New SIXX: A.M. Video 'We Will Not Go Quietly'

SIXX: A.M. just released the video for their new single "We Will Not Go Quietly." The song is on the upcoming album Vol. 2 Prayers for the Blessed. You can pre-order now on iTunes. The album will be released November 18.

Thanks to those who shared well wishes regarding the pain in my hands. I'm going to see the doctor at my job on Monday. I'm sure it's carpal tunnel. Too much computer work.

Bret Michaels Walks Back Def Leppard Tour

Bret Michaels performed a concert at the Downtown Jonesboro BBQ Festival in Jonesboro, Arkansas on October 1. A few months ago, Bret confirmed Def Leppard and Poison would tour together next summer. During his show in Arkansas, he walked it back a little and said he is "hopeful" the two glam bands will hit the road together next summer. I'm skeptical. 

Here's a clip, and a note: apologies but I just can't write much right now. I am dealing with a lot of pain in my hands. I don't know why, but it isn't pleasant. I am forced to type all day at work and when I get home, I just can't type much anymore. Hopefully I'll get this figured out.

New Enuff Z' Nuff Music! 

Enuff Z'Nuff is back with some new music! "Rockabye Dreamland" is a new song from the upcoming album Clowns Lounge. That album will be out December 2.

Clowns Lounge is a collection of early demos that have been reworked. I'm kind of interested in this. I think Chip Z'Nuff is one of the best song writers, period. This excites me.

Chris Holmes Performs Live, Looks Bad

So Chris Holmes did a gig the other week at a bar in Scotland. He sounds good but looks terrible. The thing is, his playing and guitar tone sound so good to me here, but maybe I'm biased because I like all those old W.A.S.P. songs. Here's some footage from September 28 at Bannerman's Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland.

UFO and Saxon Announce U.S. Tour

So this is pretty cool. Two legendary bands are teaming up for a tour this spring. UFO and Saxon will head out for a month's worth of shows all across America. Too bad there aren't any dates near me. Saxon is exceptionally great live. I really enjoyed UFO the last time I saw them too. Just great, classic rock.
