Yarp - pretty blimmin' awesome . . . must have listened to it about twenty times already. Hooked.

This bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taanowe ... be&t=2m34s up to the 3:05 mark sounds like a mash-up of a Bond theme, (or Deadpool 2 :) ) + "The Age Of Aquarius" - and makes every hair on my body stand on end . . .

A trip down memory lane (live version) - DAMN Jake E Lee was awesome . . . the whole band was back then . . . best lineup for Ozzy ever (YMMV)

OMFG - so good, SO GOOD, SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD !!!!!!!!!


Blacktop Mojo featuring special guest Alex Smith cover Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"

This band are supremely talented - and it seems they have a friend who is too! :)

These folks are starting to get "up there" with Halestorm for me - it's like they can (almost) do no wrong!

LOVE this cover - different enough to make it THEIRS yet still leaving it recognisable.


It's a road song, it's a foot-tapper (or you're DEAD!) and it's f***ing AWSOME!

Sorry Ian, I got no love for this one - it's a good cover but just doesn't blow me away. Didn't hook me in enough to want to listen to it again. I really like some of their other stuff though. maybe if I was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan I'd like it more.

Each to their own - we can't all like all the same stuff - that'd be boring :)

I'm not that big an FM fan myself - I like some of their stuff (the usual "hits" I guess) - but the only album I own is "Rumours" (which of course has the original "Dreams").

Not as instantly catchy/memorable as the last track, but here we are 23 days later - and they throw us another bone . . .

Sounds like they've been influenced by their time around the "Alter Bridge" boys (not a bad thing by any means :) )

And Lzzy's voice - like 6-fingers of quality tequila with a molten lava head . . . dayum !!!

Another new discovery for me - courtesy of a little research on the support band for Iron Maiden's 2018 UK tour :D

Again. Different strokes.
I find this one much more instantly appealing and catchy than the first one.
But sometimes that is not a sign of staying power. So we will see. Especially once I start hearing some of these in radio rotation.

3rd track off the new album - Lzzy living the high life . . . :D

  • "With only a few days to go before our album Vicious gets unleashed, we wanted to share one more song with you. "Do Not Disturb," is one of my favorite songs we wrote for this album, it is based on a true story (...so yes this actually happened), and it is not for the faint of heart. So, get yourself into a comfortable position, turn your headphones up...and Enjoy!
    Love, Lzzy"

Good song. Really like the guitar solo. Don't think I've heard anything like that on their previous material.

Oh, and I was right about "Uncomfortable". I like it better hearing it on the radio.
It's been getting good rotation on one of the stations I listen to.

A new song from Within Temptation called The Reckoning
I only found out about it because Jacoby Shaddix did some guest vocals on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGH8R5VwI2k

Really good song.
I've been sort of a fan of the group for a while. I hear some of their stuff, and like it.
Just never enough to actually make me follow them. Much the same way I am with Lacuna Coil.
Enjoy the music, but just don't seek it out.

I like some of what "Within Temptation" have released over the years - Sharon has an AMAZING voice.

There's also a lot I find boring.

This new one falls in the latter camp for me.

I don't find it boring, but it doesn't grab you either.
I feel it is very atmospheric though. It would be a good song to use for audio in a video some day.

These folks are SO good - and Lzzy's voice on this - so emotional and PERFECT - brings tears to my eyes - same track as above . . .

Oh, and I stumbled across this in my FB feed this morning as well.

Judas Priest - No Surrender

After almost 50 years, still cranking out some great tunes!

I despise everything that Priest have become.

They are now a sad shadow of what they once were, led by a circus clown (mentally & visually), idolised by those looking through rose-tinted glasses (probably borrowed from Halford).

They should have stopped YEARS ago when KK was effectively forced to leave due to the way he was treated.
