REIGNWOLFSPECIAL ARTIST ARTICLE

JORDAN COOK the man behind REIGNWOLF is your absolutely one of a kind always true to himself real deal modern era artist. In late 2011 the Canadian musician moved to Seattle, Washington, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he established the roots for his first release in the same year. SEVEN DEADLY SINS came out under the name JORDAN COOK on the 27th, May 2011.

Vocalist / guitar player Jordan Cook along with David "Stitch" Rapaport on bass and Joseph Braley on drums created the first milestone of then completely new era felt, beautifully abstract kind of perfect mix of heavy, melodic, fuzzy, both new and ol' school geniusity. All the mentioned elements and assets created a highly appreciated, instant love for the curious music listener and as the record came to its end, created a never ending bond between the artist Jordan Cook (aka Reignwolf) and the FANS OF HIS EXTRAVAGANZA EXCTATIC HEAVIER THAN ANYTHING MUSIC IN THE WORLD!

LIVE ON KEXP

Recorded: 7th April 2012

Published: 11th May 2012

With this beautifully heavy one-man-band performance Jordan Cook / Reignwolf took live music performances to a whole new level in the year of 2012. On and April day (the 7th), he partnered up with a worthily famous KEXP radio studio and what Reignwolf accomplished all alone is more than beyond universally speakin' Heavy Blues, Vintage Fuzz, Modern Hard Rock Madness!

HEAR ME OUT

On 1st March 2019 Jordak Cook aka Reignwolf took everything to a whole new level with his second full-length release. This record unites everything a high-quality music listener and music fan can dream of from let's say a bit of a darker point-of-view or a touch of 'Black and Red' perspective. All those strange and widely known and used guitar effects (FXs) like vintage fuzz, modern fuzz, etc... with the sweet perfectly mixed analog and digital sound of the record gives a unique, one of a kind experience to the listener. With its length of perfectly 29 minutes and 19 seconds - YEEEAAHHH UNDER 30 minutes ! ! ! ! - it gives a real pleasure to the modern human ear. With its constant high and lows, black and reds Hear Me Out is a magical combination of the best Blues rooted Heavy Fuzz while Modern Sounding vocal / guitar / bass / drums combination touced with heavy melodies only Reignwolf can compose and perform from his one and only pure heart.

ANIKA NILLES & LARI BASILIO - TWO WONDERFUL SOULS

Beautifully shining stars in our universe are not so exceptional, at least I guess so. :) Every time a human being turns their head to the sky at midnight magic happens. This wonderful magic, the unexplainability of being small, conscious, peaceful with a heart fulfilled with undeniably love can be the number one speciality of our life. 

Drummer and solo guitarist ANIKA NILLES & LARI BASILIO musically collides like the two most beautiful shining stars in our eternal and unexplainable world. 

The track called SKYLINE. With its 3:33 lenght the track is a wonderfully delight taste in today's music world with musical instrument technique knowledge as high as just possible. 

The genius video production by Marius and Mirella Mischke is as simple as awesome. 

LADIES & GENTLEMEN! MIRACLES DO EXIST! LET'S HEAR 'SKYLINE' AGAIN & AGAIN!

MICK MARS - A LIVING LEGEND

There is always something about Mötley Crüe, but it is NOT about Mötley Crüe right now. Those fans and external ears who paid close attention to Mr. Mick Mars' especially unique and undefinable, yet very very loud, aggressive, charming and instantly noticeable guitar playing always knew there is so much more in a gentleman now 72-year-old than any of your favorite big time guitar hero. Mick Mars is simply different. A genius being very different than any other genius on the planet right now. And we all love him, right? ;)

Guess, all you Mötley Crüe Fans (including me) heard about this whole world kinda shakin' punch to the floor ending with a lawsuit. Hope you do not mind if I stick to my bones and strictly stay on the side of the perspective of the music. I am - how to put that - kind of really sad about this break-up...and loss from human perspectives. Anyway:

Ladies and Gentlemen! 

In the last two months Mick Mars premiered three videos with all new original and mind-blowing music songs on the MickMarsVEVO on YouTube. In this short period of time, Mick Mars gained around 24,000 subscribers (including me) and as of 29th January 2024 he is going strongly towards reaching two million views with the above mentioned three videos. 

To tell you the truth his music is so exciting I personally cannot wait for the Mick Mars solo record to come out. I put the links here, you'd better subscribe! ;) 

GUNS N' ROSES - PERHAPS

 

Released about five months ago, raging more than one million views per month, Guns N' Roses Perhaps is the kind of magic what really cannot be described by words easily. There is something unbelievable about this crazy band whether it is 1989 at the Ritz or 2023 at any stadium around the world.

Somehow, with their own, very unique magic, Guns N' Roses can always catch the moment to people's hearts. Genius musicians, rockers until the last moment with a touch of punk and much more beautifully rocking music under their belts than most other bands ever dreamed about.

Axl Rose, Slash, Duff and their master co. still makes a huge difference in this very modern world changing second by second. Standing in the crowd while they made like a nine-minute wonderful jam over Knockin' On Heaven's Door...how to say...I was more than blown away. Giving always more and more, the one and only Guns N' Roses will be always in my heart.

GARY MOORE - LIVE FROM LONDON

Once there was this man an Irish man. He was born white colored, but his heart was black from the deepest sorrow and joy. He was one of the greatest, one of the finest Bluesman ever walked the Earth. Ladies and Gentlemen: The Late Great Gary Moore Live From London!

Originally released in 2020 this wonderful music release contains thirteen beautifully amazing live tracks with nearly eighty minutes running time. 

Recorded live at London's Islington Academy on December 2nd, 2009 Gary Moore plays something... something more... something so unbelievable...

Gary Moore's musical knowledge took levels not many can achieve. This high-level knowledge paired with his absolute mastery of his electric guitars takes his music forever into our hearts.

Personally, I do not like the word legend so much...you know guys, we have seen so many come and go, so in my opinion there are or unfortunately rather there were just a few...who you can really call a legend. Gary Moore was definitely one of those few.

Died at the age of 58 in February 2011, you know, the day was a huge loss for the music world.

When he played Blues he played the finest Blues. When he wanted to Rock, he made sure everybody else in the room rocks too. Ohh, those sweet guitar licks, those electric guitar solos that bites like an alligator, but instantly heals your pain at the same time. Nearly eighty minutes of pure pleasure, a  wonderful musical journey, rockin' and cryin' led by a true gentleman, a real guitar legend, a very special, unique showman.

When no more words left...Mr. Gary Moore's music will speak for you right from the heart......:

Joakim "Jocke" Berg (vocals), Martin Sandvik (bass), Magnus "Adde" Andreasson – drums and Vic Zino (guitars) makes the perfect quartet for loud, real, honest, true and kick-ass sounding modern Rock 'N' Roll at the highest artistic level.

Beautiful highs and lows, crazy dynamics, lyrics full on fire, guitar solos on the maximum musical and technical levels, drums and bass give the power like no other band on planet Earth!

GUNS N' ROSES - HARD SKOOL

With the new Guns N' Roses song entitled Hard Skool Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan and their respected co. shakes the world again from quite various perspectives which is kinda really Guns N' Roses!

Musically speakin' the song is a mix of the Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion era, well at least accordin' to me. The sound is classic GNR, the musical changes are brilliant, the whole song rolls so simple yet so complex, it's so easy, yet so concentrated that I think (as millions of other fans) it's kinda controversial in a Guns N' Roses way. 

As I'm listening to the sound of the track I do slightly missing just a little bit of a modern touch, but hey, who am I to decide over Axl, Slash, Duff and their more than precious company who played sold out stadiums all around the world since about 1989, while I'm just here in front of a digital piece of $#@#$ doin' my thing?!?! :)

The Hard Skool release contains 4 tracks, costs $5.98 and ships on February 25, 2022 according the OFFICIAL GUNS N' ROSES STORE, I've already pre-ordered my copy, grab yours too! ;)

BILLY IDOL - ROADSIDE EP

RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 17, 2021

SHORT SUMMARY:

BILLY IDOL at the age of 65 just can't go wrong. THE ROADSIDE EP is just a perfect, timeless release with four superb tracks. From beautiful depression to hard party the diversity of each song is simply amazing. The experience of about sixteen minutes of pure joy just worth every penny spent on it.

TRACK BY TRACK:

1. Rita Hayworth: on one hand, speaking musically, this is an ultimate party song, on the other hand listening closely to the lyrics there is a much deeper side of the story.

2. Bitter Taste: 'There's a million ways to die....'. Being already a hit single on various platforms I would call the combination of the music and the video pure art.

3. U Don't Have To Kiss Me Like That: an ultimate teenage girl's dream party song from a real rocker's perspective. Simply amazingly awesome.

4. Baby Put Your Clothes Back On: a gentleman's definite love song, which shows how emotions between a woman and a man can cause so deep pain and confusion....
