To this day, all your tracks still rock more than any new songs that come out on the radio!  And to think, this was released twenty-frikking-five years ago!  Your songs still sound as fresh as the day I bought you, when I was a tiny wee lad! :)

To one of the best albums of all time, salut and cheers!


Rock On, DC!

Glam-A-Gedon 25 (Updated!)

Open Up and Say Ahh.... cuz Dr. Feelgood is here!!!!

Yup, you heard it right here.  After, on what feels like a gajillion years, Poison and Motley Crue will be touring this year.  And they are doing it together and as a band; not a solo Bret Michaels or Vince Neil act, but with their original band members!  Yes, Nikki Sixx will be there.. Yes, Tommy Lee.. Yes, Rikki Rockett and C.C. Deville too!  This is crazy!

The tour name "Glam-A-Gedon 25" is named after Poison's 25th anniversary.  Motley Crue will be entering their 30th year in the music industry.  It's amazing how buying those two albums felt like it was just yesterday...

There's a bunch of logistics that need to get ironed out with Bret Michael's schedule conflicts, but there WILL be a joint co-headlining tour!  Lets just hope they come here to the DC area.  Anyway, from what I hear, tickets go on sale March 18th.  I dont even think there's a website for it yet.

I'll be posting more info once they become available.. so stay tuned!

Updated (3/1/11) - TOUR DATES after the jump....

Non-Music Post - Tyler Clementi, a tragedy

R.I.P. Tyler Clementi

Let me apologize first and foremost that this article has nothing to do with heavy metal music in the DC area. It doesn't even have anything to do with music period. But with the recent news of a Rutger's student committing suicide possibly because of an unauthorized webcast of his gay "sexual encounter", I felt compelled to write something about it.

I know this entry is probably one of a gazillion blogs regarding this topic, but I need to vent. I need to put these thoughts down, no matter how incoherent/coherent or rational/irrational they may sound.

First of all, let me start by saying this is truly a tragic event. Something that really should have never happened. I hope the Clementi family find the strength and courage to cope this travesty.

Avenged Sevenfold with Portnoy on drums

Wow....

Cant even explain how much kickass this concert was! Stone Sour, A7X and Disturbed...

I'll write a more comprehensive review once I get down from my personal cloud of insane blissfulness and back into reality.

Rock On!
