Warning! This is going to be a long installment of CD Scavenger Hunt. I actually started the hunt last week when I read that Ted Nugent and Joe Lynn Turner were having pre-orders for the U.S. release of their new albums and Melodicrock.com was taking pre-orders for their 10th Anniversary CD. Joe Lynn Turner – [...]

Here’s what’s spinning today: Danger Danger – s/t (1989): Something about late ’80s Hard Rock still sounds fresh. Danger Danger came on the scene late but still managed a solid debut. Torch – Fireraiser E.P. (1982): Only five songs on this debut but a nice trip to Metal’s past. Loud and fast from Sweden. Thunder – [...]

WANTED   Torch – Electrikiss (1984, Banzai) I saw this record way back in 1984 at Good Vibrations when I was twelve years old. I remember this was in the “New Release” rack and I thought the cover was so cool. I mean, who comes up with these album cover concepts anyway? Anytime a 12 year [...]

  I was glued to VH-1 Classic at 2:45pm Monday to see the big Van Halen press conference. Maybe it was the thrill of seeing Diamond Dave being Diamond Dave. Maybe it was the anticipation that this could blow up before it starts. Or maybe it was finally seeing what I never got to see in 1984 [...]

Nothing is better than dragging the kids out at 9am to go to Target, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. That’s what it takes nowadays if you’re a diehard KISS fan and you want all that bonus material. Why? Because Gene & Paul have brainwashed us into thinking that we want it all. So, like the diehard [...]

Def Leppard, Styx, & Foreigner in concert at Tweeter Center (Mansfield, MA) – 8/11/07

I went to the Def Leppard/Styx/Foreigner show last night at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA. I was flying solo again because all of my friends have “retired” from the concert scene, they only go to the “important” shows (KISS, Ozzy, Maiden, Priest, etc). Their loss is my gain because it’s always easier to get [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of email with requests for audio samples of the new Peter Criss album, ONE FOR ALL (2007). Unfortunately, I’m not that technically inclined…..yet. Thanks to YouTube, someone called ToxicVideo created some homemade videos for three songs from the new album. Enjoy! Peter Criss – ‘One For All’ Peter Criss – ‘Last [...]

Rock writer Ray Van Horn Jr. noticed that his blog (Pulses, Verses and Other Flotsam) received more participation from readers when the articles were about Metal. Armed with that info, Ray decided to change the name to The Metal Minute and stay focused on the harder side of Music. Sounds good to me, I was a regular [...]
