For those of you who heard Metallica play —˜The New Song’ during I believe Summer 2007 then you’ll recognize that the opening riff to The End Of The Line is a riff from one of those songs, just felt that I’d point that out. I’m aware that Metallica said …

I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …

Ah Cannibal Corpse, what a lovely band! This song I am about to review is entitled “Stripped, Raped and Strangled”. This song appears off of their album “The Bleeding” and believe it or not is pretty much a single. It happens to be the third song on the album, …

Here I Go is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his first solo record, The Madcap Laughs. The song starts off with some simple guitar chords which Barrett sings over in somewhat of a gloomy manner, but still retaining that sort of lighthearted feel from Barrett. Once …

Every now and again, a song comes along that has so much energy and life to it that it becomes a timeless monster of music. Driving guitars often populate these songs with hard chords being slammed out in a progressive manner, as the drums beat out creative rhythms that …

In the country that I live in, not many people listen to rock music and heavy metal music. There is a small rock and heavy metal scene here, but most radio stations will rarely play rock music and hard rock music, and none of them have played heavy metal …

Even though I live in a country far from America, I still admit that I am a really big country music fan. I know it’s kind of the “folk” song local to the United States, but there’s something about country music that I really love. I don’t know if …

Memory of A Longing Love or also what it is called as ‘Memori Sekuntum Rindu’ is very poignant, sweeping and sad. I have teared a few times whilst listening to this song, sung by the band Spoon.
Unfortunately, the lead singer of this band Spoon had been killed …

We Like The Party is a song by Vengaboys that has a very fun sound to it and is really just a song that really does make you want to get up and move. For those of you who typically read my reviews you’ll see that I mainly review …

Metallica’s debut 1983 album Kill Em All was going to be titled “Metal up your ass” but the record company made them change it before it’s release. This could be Metallica’s most impressive album, technically. The parts are faster then most anything by Metallica, the solos are huge, and …

Probably one of the craziest glam bands out there in the eighties that wasn’t very popular back in the day was the glam metal band nitro. They had everything from the highest pitch sreaming from screamer Jim Gillette and the blazing guitar work of Michael Angel Batio. One of …

There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …

Hollywood Undead released their debut album “Swan Songs” in August 2008. It’s hard to describe their music genre, as they pull from so many different styles. They are most commonly referred to as rap rock, but I feel their music goes so beyond that label.
The …

Overview —“ 1984, the final album that Van Halen released with David Lee Roth, was definitely not a disappointing final record with the original front man. I’m not a huge fan of Van Halen, although I do like some of their records and I actually managed to see them …

U.F.O. Story is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their third studio record, Telepathic Surgery. The track opens up with a recording of someone talking about their experience seeing a U.F.O. which goes fittingly with the title of the track, but this does get dragged out …

ACE FREHLY
Ace’s solo album is widely considered the best of the KISS solo LP’s. (well, John Denver’s sappy music was better than the other three solo KISS LP’s!)
You have to give Ace credit for really letting his talent shine through. This looks like a project he spent a …

Truly, Madly, Deeply, By Savage Garden is a song I like but now don’t listen to much after I found it on this one persons myspace page who is so mad at me I have no honest clue why. The song has a cool soft beat to it and …

Overview —“ Turn The Page, Metallica’s cover of Bob Segar’s song, stays somewhat true to the original song but it’s clear that Metallica adds their own heavy touches to the song. I have to say that although Hetfield was praised for his work around the time of The Black …
