Crash Kravitz

Jul
2

I’ve never been  particularly a big fan of Lenny Kravitz.  He’s put out some great tunes but nothing that really “grabbed” me.  After seeing this I might have to revisit that opinion, or, I have to at least admit that he seems like one helluva cool guy.

This is just plain awesome. How much are you loving it if you’re in that school choir?? I’m pretty sure this is the stuff dreams are made of!  BTW, that guitar player is pretty damned talented in his own right! Shred man!!

My Day: My War

Jun
8

This is pretty much where I’m at today. It’s been one o’them kind of days.

My War

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them
You don’t want to see me live
You don’t want me to give
’cause you’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them

I might not know what a friend is
All I know is what you’re not
’cause you’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them

I have a prediction, it lives in my brain
It’s with me every day, it drives me insane
I feel it in my heart, that if I has a gun
I feel it in my heart, I’d wanna kill some
I feel it in my heart, the end will come
Come on!!

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them

Tell me that I’m wrong
Try to sing me your ego song
You’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them

My war.

Sister “Sunshine” is a bit gloomy

May

You know, I kinda wanna tell her to shut up. But, honestly, I think it’s better that she gets to spew her nonsense. Because at least now we KNOW she’s crazy, judgmental, hateful and apparently almost as big of a Dio fan as I am (I mean, srsly, she spit out just about every.single.fact. about the guy including ALL his bands and top hits!).

So, mostly, I just laughed. And then I cranked up “We Rock.” Then I thought about praying to Satan* but remembered that’s not even REMOTELY true about me and despite what would appear to be her overwhelming “evidence” to the contrary I have not “sold my soul to the devil.” Oh, and she hates emo kids too. Which, I’m not entirely sure I can fault her for. Emo is kind of annoying.

R.I.P Dio

Horns at half-mast today as metalheads everywhere mourn the death of a legend. We’ll miss you Ronnie! R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. Arguably the man has defined what will be considered “metal” for generations to come. \m/

Ratt n’ Roll returns to the Sunset Strip

May
9

Ratt recently made a triumphant return to the Sunset Strip to celebrate the release of their newest album. 25 years after starting out in the same place the boy from Ratt are back in a BIG way. Their new album Infestation hit stores on April 20th and brings back the glory of sleaze without being so stuck in the old sound that it comes off as dated. They’ve released a NEW rock record both worthy of the Ratt legacy and as a way to, LOUDLY, introduce themselves to a whole new audience in 2010.

Below is the footage from episode of 1 of the CD release party (h/t Roadrunner Records):

Go here to get your copy of Infestation. Trust me, it RAWKS!
