by David Klein Even a casual fan could come up with the definitive 18 song without too much contemplation. The song that comes to mind immediately is "I'm Eighteen" by Alice Cooper, which has all the essential characteristics of a great rock single: lean, strong hooks, wailing Les Pauls, a clenched fistful of attitude. Nevertheless, it must be said that despite its rarified pedigree, (18 is a flat-out beautiful number. Look at it. It's one of the most voluptuous numbers in the universe. And were you aware that 18 is the only number [...]
A Heavy Metal History, The T ale Of The Metal Gods And then there was metal. A musical force to be reckoned with. Probably the most maligned and underrated form of music excluding country. The kind of music that your parents hate, and the kind can make you neighbours ears bleed. Both majestically beautiful and brutally cathartic, metal expresses what no other form of music can. It's can be both the devils music or gods [...]

It's Friday night, a perfect time to cut loose and go crazy. The question is whether to rock out or boogie down. Both are worthy courses of action, which makes for a really tough call. Then again, who said it has to be an either/or proposition? Not these folks. Electric Light Orchestra – Shine a Little Love (from Discovery , 1979) – It seems natural that a rock outfit renowned for its string section would dabble in disco, although said section was dropped from the [...]

Did you know Classic Rock magazine does its own awards? We're not quite sure if the readers voted this year, or if they voted back in 1973 and they just took forever to count them, but the results would probably have been the same. Here's the winners in full , with a taste of the magazine's all-too-imitable style: Best New Band â€" ROADSTAR. Award collected by Roadstar, natch. Best Reissue â€" QUEEN for A Night At The Opera. Award collected by Queen manager Jim Beach. DVD Of The Year â€" WHITESNAKE’s [...]
Today in Music History: In 1992, twenty years after the release of his milestone 'Harvest,' Neil Young issues a sequel, 'Harvest Moon.' It becomes his first million-seller since 1979's 'Rust Never Sleeps.' There is one artist that I have done to death on this site and that is the shockmeister himself, Alice Cooper. One could conclude that homercat likes his Coop and one would be correct. Past posts include this one and this other one . If you are compiling a Halloween [...]
So yeah I've been busy doing stuff like sleeping, watching Friday the 13th marathons, eating lots of tangerine candy corn... oh and getting a new apartment with Taylor . I'll be back to post more, I promise. I have over 10 posts almost ready to go but just need some tweaking before they go live. Until then, here is an awesome dancing man and a random mp3. Alice Cooper - He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) [...]
Lyrics: It's the Little Things You can burn my house You can cut my hair You can make me wrestle naked With a grizzly bear You can poison my cat Baby I don't care But if you talk in the movies I'll kill you right there It's the little things It's just the little things Aw it's the little things It's just the little things Yeah it's the little things That drive me wild I'm like a mad dog I'm on a short leash I'm on a tight rope Hanging [...]

Lyrics: Bed of Nails Yeah, we're gonna fight We do it every night Baby, when you scratch You know I'm gonna bite You can make me die I can make you cry Opposites attract That's the reason why No one else could make you feel Like I do, I do, I do No one else gets that deep inside you As I do, baby Our love is a bed of nails Love hurts good on a bed of nails I'll lay you down and when all else fails I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails [...]
Lyrics: He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) You're with your baby And you're parked alone On a summer night You're deep in love But you're deeper in the woods You think you're doin' alright Did you hear that voice Did you see that face Or was it just a dream This can't be real That only happens, babe On the movie screen Oh, but he's back He's the man behind the mask And he's out of control He's back The man behind the mask And he crawled out of his hole You're swimmin' with your girl Out [...]

Lyrics: How You Gonna See Me Now? Dear darlin' surprised to hear from me? Bet you're sittin' drinkin' coffee, yawnin' sleepily Just to let you know I'm gonna be home soon I'm kinda awkward and afraid Time has changed your point of view [Chorus:] How you gonna see me now Please don't see me ugly babe 'Cause I know I let you down In oh so many ways How you gonna see me now Since we've been on our own Are you gonna love the man When the man gets home Listen darlin' now [...]
Lyrics: Freedom We the people of the United States In order to form a more perfect union Stop pretending that you've never been bad You're never wrong and you've never been dirty You're such a saint, that ain't the way we see you You want to rule us with an iron hand You change the lyrics and become Big Brother This ain't Russia, you ain't my Dad or Mother (They never knew anyway) 'Cuz I never walk away from what I know is right But I'm gonna turn my back on you Freedom, [...]
Lyrics: Love's a loaded gun Somebody saw you at the station You had your suitcase in your hand You didn't give no information You walked off with another man I'm alwaays standing in the shadows, baby I watched you ugive yourself away You take them home into your bedroom You had another busy day I tried to look the other way and fake it You push me to the limits I can't take it [CHORUS] One down, one to go Just another bullet in the chamber Sometimes love's a loaded gun Red [...]
