Prejudice. From 1984.

Monday, August 24, 2009

Metal Monday!!!

Well, it's some Hair "metal" anyway! The best American band that's damn near unknown in America!!

Hanoi Rocks. Tragic. Glamourous. Brilliant? Maybe not, but they're a guilty pleasure!!

Here's Fashion!

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

WTF?

Yeah, I've always wanted to ask WTF? about this one. I mean, even Dweezil Zappa couldn't save this POS. Don Johnson was a mediocre actor and Hearbeat just proves that that was his strong point.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

Monday, August 3, 2009

Metal Monday (ballad edition)

Some people burn their voices out doing metal music, but this is a case of a voice that just gets better with age!

Judas Priest's Rob Halford has to be one of the greatest voices in the history of Rock and Roll music.

Diamonds and Rust.

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Sunday Go To Meetin'

Friday, July 24, 2009

Friday Babies!!

Maybe it could have been a WTF? Wednesday entry, but I've got a little more respect for the Chili Peppers then that. It is a good testiment to the fact that Anthony needs to be drowned out by the band a little bit. Guy never sings in tune. Gotta love him though.

I have to admit that I can watch John play guitar all day though. Even if his B string is a little flat. : )

Love me some Chili Peppers. Here's Under The Bridge, acoustic.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

WTF?

I have to admit, that when I came up with this catagory, this was the first thing that came to my mind. I've resisted up to this point, but.................yeah!

I mean, WTF? is up with Johnny Rotten? It's not that bad of a song really, but why does he always look like he's looking to see if you're looking?

Metal Monday!

Right! So this is not only my first post, but my first ever Metal Monday!

My first choice for Metal Monday is my all time favorite Pantera song. Walk. Simple riff that gets mega mileage. I also thought, what better way to start out than a tribute to one of the best metal guitarists of all time.

R.I.P. Dime!

Anyway, on with the show!
