Metal playlists from the underground
Motörhead released Motörizer on Tuesday, August 26. After a quick listen, I can say that this album is 100% solid rock and roll, no different from the last 19 albums. If you haven’t done so already, check out the “Lemmy: The Movie” teaser trailer below [warning: adult language] Bonus: Here is a classic riddle for […]
“Heroes Of Our Time” is the speedy opening track to Ultra Beatdown which could have easily fit on any DragonForce record to date. In fact, it sounds exactly like anything from Inhuman Rampage. If you loved the last record or the ending of Guitar Hero III, then you’ll love this tune as well. DragonForce still […]
Yesterday, Metallica generously uploaded another track from Death Magnetic to metallica.com. The song is titled “My Apocalypse” and is the third song from the upcoming release that we have been exposed to since August 8. “My Apocalypse” has an …And Justice For All feel to it; the intro guitar riff and drums summon the evils […]
Rock legends, ZZ Top, are reissuing their classic record Eliminator on September 9, 2008. Included with the release are some live versions and a DVD featuring the famous music videos from the 1983 album. If you act now, you can stream this release at AOL’s weekly listening party. Make sure you check in with classics […]
“.execute” is a short intro track to All Hope Is Gone that consists of mostly obnoxious noise that Slipknot probably uses as their stage entrance music. In my opinion, it is pointless to put these kinds of tracks on records. I prefer getting hit in the teeth with a solid opener. 3/10 “Gematria (The Killing […]
Last night, Jimmy Paige and Leona Lewis performed “Whole Lotta Love” [Led Zeppelin II] at the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games. All I can say, is that Jimmy can still kill on the stage. The world is in great need of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour, or at least another Paige/Plant tour; hell, I’ll […]
The first single off of Metallica’s Death Magnetic, “The Day That Never Comes,” has finanally arrived on the Metallica websites including their MySpace page. The song begins with a clean guitar intro, equipped with a soothing guitar solo. The verses stay mellow while the chorus’s have a bit of a “Fade To Black” [Ride The […]
By Peter O’Brien They come from the water of the possum kingdom, near Tyler, TX. It is a place with Hell below and stars above, pressed against the sky, only accessible by a plane crash. They are THE TOADIES and they have finally resurfaced with a new album, No Deliverance, out now on Kirtland Records. […]
Teddy Geiger contributed 9 songs to The Rocker Original Soundtrack including a cover of Poison’s “Nothin’ But A Good Time.” If you are not familiar with Teddy Geiger, and probably shouldn’t be if you are a rock and roll loyalist, he makes acoustic-driven pop. If you like James Blunt then you should love this guy. […]
“This Is It” opens The Illusion Of Progress and it does not rock nearly as hard as the classic opener “Suffocate” from Dysfunction (1999). This tune is great at keeping the eighth notes steady throughout the intro and refrain. So far Staind sounds more like 3 Doors Down than the band I once knew. 5/10 […]
