More bands (including Skid Row and Thin Lizzy) have been confirmed for the third annual Rocklahoma festival, set to take place July 9-12, 2009 in Pryor, Oklahoma. The third annual Rocklahoma will have over ninety bands on four stages. Thin Lizzy vocalist John Sykes commented: "We have heard a lot about Rocklahoma and are really excited to be playing this year's festival. The set will be jam-packed with Lizzy classics, so see you there!" Thursday, July 9 : [...]
[I'm in Austin for SXSW, trying to find either a St. Patrick's Day fest or Billy Corgan's birthday party, but perhaps you're in L.A. and want to rock ...] I'm not sure they could have paired two bands with more appropriate names: And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead plays the Echoplex tonight, supported by L.A.'s own (true Eastsiders) Funeral Party . ... Also: Ladyhawke at the Trouadour; the Lovemakers at Bordello; Mickey Avalon at the Roxy; So Many Wizards and the Traditionist at the Silverlake Lounge; and Skid Row [...]
![Five Ways Flo Rida Can Save His Label Some Money Next Time [Idolator's Helpful Hints]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1575402_lg.jpg)
Flo Rida is currently dominating the charts with "Right Round," his (and Dr. Luke's) re-imagining of Dead or Alive 's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)." But it's not just his two-hit wonderdom that makes me think he might be the ultimate pop star for this crazy time. Billboard asked him how he came around to using the Dead or Alive track, and his basic response was that his A&R guy at Atlantic asked him to use the song, so he did. While that's likely been great news for whatever [...]
It has been discussed that originality is an aspect that aids a band significantly in their song-writing abilities. It is common for bands to parallel the musical aspects of those bands that came before them, but sounding too similar to others may morph your sound into sounding amateur and ripped off in comparison. Take for example, C rooked X , a teenage hard rock band out of Oklahoma. Their whirlwind music career began when they sent a video in to "Good Morning America". Their ripe, young age and obvious [...]
If you've been working for the weekend, well you are in luck because it's just about that time. That's right, it's Friday and it's time to kick back hit the shuffle button and let the music take us where it will. Today we're firing up iTunes to battle the post-lunch dip! For those who have not joined in the Friday Five here is all you need to know; each Friday I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, [...]
Metal is still afraid of The Big Bad Evil Gay. In metal, coming out of the closet is akin to losing your luxurious locks ... maybe it's no small coincidence that Rob Halford is both openly gay and openly bald. Not much has changed since Halford came out more than a decade ago. Metal-a style of music built around "taboos"-is one of the only genres that still keeps its distance from anything gay. Hasn't metal always been about going against the grain? Disdain for Christian values? Sticking it ... um ... to the man? [...]

El lanzamiento el 24 de Enero de 1989 de "Skid Row" , el álbum de debut de Skid Row supuso un éxito inmediato de crítica, público y ventas. Aquel pelotazo llegaba casi a la entrada de la década de los 90, y la banda de Sebastian Bach , Dave Sabo , Scotti Hill , Rachel Bolan y Rob Affuso parecía haber tocado [...]
"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so." (Douglas Adams) Time may be on Mick's side but these days I can't seem to find time to dedicate to writing insightful reviews of the stacks of CD's sitting on my desk and all the news swirling around the internets. Did you hear that Chinese Democracy is actually coming out? I could go on for hours about that one but alas, the salt mines are beckoning for my return and I want to be sure to have time for The Friday Five tomorrow. To tide you over until tomorrow [...]
A couple of weeks ago I cried myself to sleep after Scar Symmetry announced they'd parted ways with their versatile, talented vocalist Christian Älvestam (pictured, front). Would the Swedish "Death Jovi" masters go the way of luminaries Van Halen* and AC/DC, continuing to bring the hits for years to come with a new frontman on [...]
"Come back, fun! How did you leave me within 30 seconds?!" - Tom, delivering the punchline to his classic sitcom joke "Mike said he was donating to the Pharoah Sanders Fund." -- Tom, questioning his Associate Producer's suspicious "charitable contributions" to the jazz saxophonist via Tunes in Hoboken "I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea that this person would fall out of the sky and be the running mate of the oldest President in history." - Tom, lending his support to upstart politician Sarah Palin "I'm [...]
Scarves. Scantily clad ladies. Flashy cars. A strategically placed woman on a pool table. Andrew "Dice" Clay as a leering bouncer. Yes, Hinder's video for "Use Me" brings back all the good-time video tropes of 20 years ago—but if that description entices you, you'll have to click through to see it, since it's sprung from the bowels of Universal Music Group, which apparently needs every last bit of banner-ad revenue it can wring out from the sidebars of YouTube's pages. In an effort to provide a contextual embed, after the jump please find a clip of Skid [...]
This one pretty much explains itself. Someone we enjoy making fun of had an embarrassing moment and while we could be nice guys about it, we're not nice guys. So skip to 1:48 to see Baz fall flat on his ass and start your week with a good laugh. -AR [via Blabbermouth] Related posts: THE HAIR METAL CUP RUNNETH [...]
Andrew at Aversionline has long banged on about the awesomeness of the first two Skid Row records. While in the back of my mind I've known he's probably right, it's been over 15 years since I heard those songs. Recently, though, I had occasion to revisit them while reviewing the new Sebastian Bach album, which is surprisingly good. Midnight/Tornado 18 and Life It's strange to return to music you listened to as a child. You hear albums for what they are. I know I [...]
If you aren't a fan of the power ballad, I don't know if this one will change your mind - but hey, give it a shot. You have to stick it out until the payoff, though. Reportedly written about Steven Adler, who was fired from Guns 'n' Roses for having a drug problem so bad he couldn't be in Guns 'n' Roses .

Ah Valentine's Day . That syrupy sweet, send flowers to your special someone, son of a gun of a shopping day holiday. If the lords of commerce didn't make off with all of your available credit over the Christmas/Chanukkah season then here comes good ol' February 14th to finish you off. But, but , you don't have to go spending money at the chocolatier, or Hallmark, to get the most out of this holiday. The way I see it, whether you've got a sweetheart or not, chances are you'll be listening to music today. [...]

He's like "the Willie Nelson of metal," dude...hey, he said it. Sebastian Bach has been rocking it for over two decades. Fronting arena-caliber bands ( Skid Row ), television star, movie star, Broadway plays, and father - he's not slowing down. With a slot on Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy Tour, and a new album in 2007 - Sebastian Bach would prefer that you live in the now.
