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....

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

The Dead Daises 2020

(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.

On three records with exactly 35 studio recorded songs between the years of 2010 and 2017, plus an EP titled Monocle at the beginning of the Taddy Porter story back in 2007.

Actually in 2020 THE TADDY PORTER BAND will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album titled Taddy Porter which record has the most awesome cover you ever will see. Let's take a close look at it then get cold chills from their brilliantly played Rock 'N Roller MUSIC of Taddy Porter!


Tracklist:
01 - Whatever Haunts You / 02 - Big Eough / 03 - Shake Me / 04 - Gotta Getcha Back / 05 - Long Slow Drag / 06 - I Gotta Love / 07 - Mean Bitch / 08 - Bringin' Me Down / 09 - In The Morning / 10 - Fire In The Streets / 11 - Railroad Queen / 12 - King Louie

So, what really could be said about a debut album which turns out to be AllPopRock.com's favorite first time release from any bands on Earth. The cover tells about artistic veins, the songs just kick into our brains instantly one after another. If you ever felt Rock 'N Roll in your soul then you should give this album an close listen. I tell you one thing my friend, you will never ever be disappointed with the Taddy Porter Discography. Their music comes deeply from their souls, they kick the sh#&!t out of those old tunes which they recraft and make their very own as only just the best masters are able to do so. The twelve track release gets you song by song and as the final title King Louie builds up you going to say that Taddy Porter is your belief in good ol' Rock 'N Roll again period.

When 2013 came Taddy Porter released their second album which showed a completely different, yet same side of the band's music. AllPopRock.com feels musical influences from the '50s through '70s on each and every song which is awesome and awesomely cool. Taddy Porter make their own style by combining such great legends as Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, John Lennon, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks and many more leading to an innovative yet very respectful take a look back to where Rock 'N Roll was in 2013. Sweet Purple Haze and beautifully composed melodies leading to heartbreaking ballads can describe the second half of the album with the ultimate ending track titled You Can Count On Me, and that's for sure, you can count on Taddy Porter when it comes to being totally Rock 'N Roll. A must have release to anyone interested in the best music ever released.

Okay, if you get here reading about Taddy Porter's music of excellence, then here comes the real deal my FRIEND. Although Big Wheel did not have a real commercial success YET, it is EVERYTHING that Taddy Porter is and the musical brilliance point they developed as human beings and musicians at the same time is PHENOMENAL, my FRIEND!

BIG WHEEL is a record you Dear Listener wil NOT be able to pause or stop it at all! 

*Editorial Note: 'As a true Rock 'N Roller I personally went crazy for this record, it is so much fun and pleasure to hear those guys playing their best deeply from their hearts.'

The latest, greatest and another must have release from Taddy Porter! Crank it up, turn it up loud with a drink of your choice! Points: 110 out of 10. Cheers!
