There was a time when all I listened to was Thrash Metal… then there was a time that all I listened to was Rush… then all I listened to was Jazz… then all I listened to was Frank Zappa…. then blues, classic rock….etc…. Well, nowadays I listen to a mix of everything! And I had … Read more
So last week I was so very happy to see this CD come in the mail. You see several years ago I had filled out this online survey and won a $20 gift card from Amazon…. and well, I forgot I had it!! Now, to the music…. I’m a big fan of Oz Noy. I … Read more
Way back, I remember thinking that a couple of Accept albums were really cool. The Metal Heart album really got my attention… and I also remember hearing a live clip of the title track back then… Even thought I’ve always remembered some of their classics Accept fell way back into my memory.

For me, 2016 had some really great releases! I thought I’d write a few of them down here for fun. This isn’t really a review or an ordered list… but it just lists (in no order) some of my favorite albums in the last year. Anthrax – For All Kings This one was released early … Read more

I grew up listening to these guys (among with the others I’ve just named). Yeah guys, that might make you feel older… heck … Read more

From the moment the band started playing the first notes of the “One size fits all” album … Read more
