Stryper has a new video out for their song "Transgressor" off the album The Final Battle. The song seems heavier than most Stryper, but I am not expert on the band. "Transgressor" seems like a tight track and good song for Friday. Happy weekend - I'm pretty tired and glad the work week is just about done!
I really never watch Entertainment Tonight. By chance, I clicked it on last night while I was waiting for Big Brother to start. I ended up seeing the last 10 minutes of ET and lo and behold - there was a feature on Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee. This definitely surprised me. There was mention of the success of The Stadium Tour, details on the movie The Retaliators which features Motley Crue on the soundtrack and of course a Pamela Anderson mention. The entire package is below.
Another day, another reimagined Van Halen track from David Lee Roth. This time it's "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love." The new version of the classic song was recorded in May and Roth shared it with his social media fans last night. You gotta love that raspy voice - it always makes me smile. It is kind of crazy just how good Roth's voice sounds on this new version. What do you think?
I was listening to Hair Nation while getting a coffee earlier today and on popped "Screaming in the Night" from Krokus. Always like the song and never really considered the band as "hair metal" but whatever. The song is on the album Headhunter. For me, it always seemed like a different type of "power ballad." Definitely more inventive than most and I was glad to hear it this morning.
I'm so old I remember when Motley Crue signed a contract to stop touring. Of course, we all basically assumed that was just for show. Naturally, a big payday was offered to "end retirement" and Motley embarked on this summer's Stadium Tour. It was a massive success. Now, the band wants to tour internationally again and do another Las Vegas residency.
I can sort of understand the international tour. The Las Vegas residency seems a bit much so soon after the Stadium Tour. There's such a thing as market saturation. Then again, Def Leppard sure tours a lot and they don't seem to have problems selling tickets. I'll sit out the residency personally.
I hope Mick Mars stays as healthy as possible. You would have to think all those shows are hard on him.
Today is Patriot Day - the 21st anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Take a moment to remember those lost - and everything that came after.
Join the 9/11 Memorial & Museum from anywhere to take part in active remembrance. Tomorrow, snap a picture of the sky above you – regardless of the weather – and post it to Instagram. Be sure to tag us and use the hashtags #NeverForget911 and #rememberthesky. pic.twitter.com/EyOScKNboK
Today also marks the first Sunday of NFL Week 1! It was a busy and news filled week around the world and in the U.S. Closer to home, Eric and I worked on the house and ordered some new carpet for the bedroom which should be coming by the end of the month. When you're middle aged, new carpet = excitement I guess.
Aerosmith finally got to play their big 50th anniversary show at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday night, and that's our Sunday's Best for this week.
In the days before COVID-19, I had tickets for the Fenway gig. In fact, I bought them literally the minute they went on sale. I rejoined Aero Force One (fan club) to purchase early. I set a timer on my phone and closed the door to my office so I could concentrate. Fast forward and the pandemic shuts down the world, cancels the big concert, I get my money refunded and that was the end of it for me. I was skeptical the show would ever happen, but it did and it was apparently amazing. I know several people who went - and all seem to agree it was worth the money and the wait. I'll have to wait just a little longer because I am seeing Aerosmith in Las Vegas in December.
A fun fact: apparently the Aerosmith anniversary show now holds the record for the most tickets sold to any event at Fenway - ever.
I was looking for good videos of the show to share - and YouTube was literally removing them as soon as I would find them.
An interesting new video from Sammy Hagar & The Circle today. It's for the track "Funky Feng Shui" and it features a giant woman stepping around the band Godzilla-style. The song is on the upcoming album Crazy Times.
One of the lyrics to this song is:
"Walking a dog on a leash A doggie bag in her hand She’s picking up shit So, we don’t step in it"
