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......:

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....

BILLY IDOL - BITTER TASTE

Billy Idol is one of those artists who can renew himself from release to release even despite his age of 65.

Now let's leave all those old fashioned words of reviewing a masterpiece behind, these are the thoughts come to my mind:

GENIUS MUSIC VIDEO

PURE VINTAGE FUTURISM

LULLABY DREAMS COME TRUE

BEAUTIFULLY DEPRESSED

MORE THAN PROFESSIONAL

FOREVER LIVING

SEAMLESS

ART

Beautiful audio-visual experience with a 4:48 long story without a moment you would ever dull:

ROCK N ROLL IS BACK - THE DEAD DAISIES HOLY GROUND ALBUM REVIEW

Like a ten ton dynamite bomb the title track of the new THE DEAD DASIES record HOLY GROUND explodes, shakin' up the whole World. Huge guitars, genius bass lines, thunder-like drums. As Mr. Glenn Hughes vocals come in man, I feel like home, it all comes together. Perfect opening track.

LIKE NO OTHER (BASSLINE) the second track is your definite ROCK HYMN. Coming up with a perfect bass line the song emerges to be such a huge track with eagle screaming vocals right before Mr. Doug Aldrich's genius guitar solo. The one song you definitely never ever want to come to an end as you turning up the volume higher and higher on your audio device.

COME ALIVE with its laid back Bluesy Funky verse turns out to be a burning meteor bringing light against all of the darkness we human beings faced in the past years especially last year 2020.

BUSTLE AND FLOW hmmmm.... haven't you seen that perfectly composed animation video leaving everybody else behind the bar?!?!?!? Turn up the volume even more and catch up with it!

MY FATE fires up such a heavy riff man, that is just clean weight. The verse turns me blue, making me thinking about all things missing from past like live gigs! As the chorus parts kicks in I'm instantly been hit to the ground laying down headbanging. Such a huge track also!

CHOSEN AND JUSTIFIED is such a cool rockin' track just an instant favourite of mine. The song features huge guitar tracks like you would look into the eyes and sizes of a mammuth. Short joy, but real good joy, better bet on that song! ;)

SAVING GRACE - hellyeah, rocks the heck out of me and from the loudspeakers too! Beautiful lyrics, musically speaking huge twists, insage guitar solo, and sweet, honest screams from Mr. Glenn Hughes that will rock everybody balls off and wet the ladies' panties.

UNSPOKEN deeply touching, yet real hard rockin' one. As the rest of the album it is pure ROCK 'N ROLL MUSIC with the greatest attitude given by those musicians who are truly gifted in talent.

30 DAYS IN A HOLE is your instant hit Hard Rock song. Get away Covid virus, we wanna Rock 'N Roll!

RIGHTEOUS DAYS gives us cold chills right there with the introducing guitar melody then it explodes to a hard hitting, smashing mid-tempo song. Another 10/10.

FAR AWAY is a beautifully crafted closing of this phenomenal record. As a ballad this song is really one of a kind painful, full of deep feelings and huge melodies with musical twist which only real musicians can write from deep inside their hearts. As the ending part goes it is simply uniquely genius.

THE DEAD DASIES HOLY GROUND is a mystic place for me and I hope for everybody else out there where all the transformation happen for good soul vibes. These four gentlemen made history by proving that great Rock 'N Roll has a place, has the soul, has a future and it is the best thing of LIFE that is BEING ALIVE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS THE DEAD DAISIES IN 2021, GLENN HUGHES ON VOCALS AND BASS GUITAR, DOUG ALDRICH ON LEAD GUITAR, DAVID LOWY ON GUITAR AND DEAN CASTRONOVO ON DRUMS. 11 out of 10 points. SALUTE!

The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

(about 2 min. read)

After four insanely creative and Rock 'N Roll fueled years between 2015 and 2019 The Dead Daisies happened to go through a deep change. There is no doubt that everyone who likes Classic Rock or Hard Rock got into touch with their music in the past years and let me tell you that the live shows they delivered throughout the years were more than incredible.

Delivering Classic Hard Rock with an epic modern sound and feel they kept the old musical tradition, but on the top of those roots they built up something so tight, hard, heavy, melodic and meaningful both lyrically and musically that only few exceptional musicians could ever done.

Between those years (2015-2019) they enjoyed the three piece creative force of John Corabi as lead vocalist, Doug Aldrich as lead guitar player and Marco Mendoza as bass player and handling the tasks of backing vocals. This stable force gave the members of the band a solid ground for constant development and going towards the heavier stuffs record by record.

In 2019 big changes happened. John Corabi and Marco Mendoza is no longer in the band's line-up. The news came as a hug surprise that is for sure, but when the world found out that Glenn Hughes joined the band on lead vocals and bass I guess the shock was even bigger in like a very positive way.

Since then the new line-up released two insanely great fresh official music videos, a lyrics video and they had a great work with what they named as Lockdown Sessions. Below you find all the videos being so important right now for The Dead Daisies and definitely do not forget about pre-ordering their brand new record entitled Holy Ground, that is due to be released on January 22 2021.
