Erik Grönwall Is Just Awesome

Erik Grönwall is the current singer for Skid Row. The man has a crazy set of pipes and can hit all the notes and more - with no effort. Now he has released a cover of Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer." Yea, it's one of the best rock songs of all time. It's also one of the most overplayed. Still, Grönwall kills it. Truly a pleasure to watch and listen!

Conquer Divide Release 'Slow Burn'

It is finally here! Conquer Divide's newest full-length album Slow Burn is officially out today. I pre-ordered the vinyl like six months ago and it is due on my doorstep sometime tonight. I already downloaded the full album to my phone and have done a complete listen-through with a couple more planned for later during workout time.

 

Listen to Slow Burn via Amazon Music:

'Angry' - The Rolling Stones

"Angry" is the first single from the upcoming new Rolling Stones album Hackney Diamonds. The band released the official video for the song yesterday - and I like how they used old and new shots of the band. A smart way to include Charlie Watts of course. For those mocking the band releasing new music after all these years, I get it but I'm still excited for Hackney Diamonds. Mick Jagger is 80 and out there making music and jumping around stage. Good for him!

'We All Die Young' -- Maverick Cover

"We All Die Young" is one of Steelheart's best songs, bar none. Great lyrics and incredible vocals too. Now, Irish-band Maverick is covering the track. It's very true to the original but that is okay - the song is hard to tackle and Maverick did a good job!

The Rolling Stones Announce New Album

It's been 18 years since The Rolling Stones released an album of all new material... and now we are getting new music from the legendary band. Hackney Diamonds will debut live tomorrow night on a YouTube livestream with Jimmy Kimmel. Some of the songs will feature late drummer Charlie Watts. A tour is also around the corner, apparently. Gotta say, I'm interested! Livestream details below!

So This Is Interesting - Union Tidbit

Happy Labor Day!


From John Corabi's Facebook page. He highlights a hunk of the latest Guitar World magazine that notes Union's self-titled album from 1998 as the most underrated of that decade. This is interesting to me and I wanted to share here too.

Aerosmith Kick Off 'Peace Out' Farewell Tour

Aerosmith's "Peace Out" tour is officially underway. The goodbye trek started last night in Philadelphia and reviews, photos, videos and the setlist are all popping up online. I'm gonna need "Last Child" and some other swaps by the time my show rolls around in January:

 


The intro video and stage look badass - but you'll have that when there's endless money to go around! Look how close some fans are to the band when the show starts! This setup is way more in-the-round than originally advertised.


And look how happy the band is - they are all smiles. 



Some really close photos from a Redditor lucky enough to be in the pit:

 

Few shots from the Philly show tonight.

The Wells Fargo Center Instagram also has some awesome concert shots that show the crowd and a fuller stage view. I am excited to say the least!
