Worth a Listen

Here's a few tunes worth a listen.
1. Stillborn - Black Label Society (featuring Ozzy Osbourne)
What I like about this song is it's vintage Ozzy. It has a 1973 feel about it. Very dark and not too much production like the new Ozzy stuff. In fact Ozzy should go back to the basics. I know he's 60+ years old but Black Rain wasn't bad but like the previous albums was way over produced.
2. Gimme Riot - Lions
I got the single off of Classic Rock magazines free "One's to Watch in 2010". These boys from Austin, Texas are a cross between Velvet Revolver and AC/DC. The unfortunate thing is is the full 6 song EP Let No One Fall is a Import and is not on iTunes. You can listen to the rest of the killer EP at http://www.ilike.com/artist/Lions/album/Let+No+One+Fall.
3. Cold Hearted Man - AC/DC off of the new Backtracks: Studio Rarities
This is vintage Bon Scott. It sounds like it should have been on the Powerage Album.
4. Paraskavedekatriaphobia (Friday the 13th) - Fozzy
This is Wrestler Chris Jerico's Metal Band. His voice is actually pretty good although it sounds a bit like Ozzy.
5. Painkiller - Judas Priest
Great Album, Great heavy song.
6. mOBSCENE - Marilyn Manson
If you like heavy guitarist John 5 and Marilyn Manson, this is the song for you.

Random Thoughts 02/10

1. New Rob Zombie HBD2 is a little disappointing. I would like to see John 5 show off a little more. Other than the single releases; What? and Sick Bubblegum, the album lacks in crunch.
2. What in the world is going on in the Aerosmith camp. A. Steven Tyler threatening a lawsuit. B. Joe saying Steven auditioned for Led Zeppelin. and lastly C. Joe saying they are considering a female replacement.
3. Anxious to hear the new Airbourne and Ratt (although early leaks of the new singles have been disappointing.)
4. Love the new Fozzy, wrestling's Chris Jericho's band.
5. Nothing against Zakk, but I'm excited to hear Gus G with Ozzy this summer. Look up Firewind on iTunes to hear Gus G on guitar. Think cross between EVH and heavy Steve Vai.
6. What happened to VH by the way. Where's the new album? Where's the "World Tour"?
7. I heard the new LIVE Satriani....too much echo in Paris.
8. Ace needs to come to Indy.
9. Tracii Guns needs to give up the band name.
10. The Grammy awards Best Hard Rock Performance for AC/DC's War Machine and Best Metal Performance for Judas Priest's Dissedent Aggressor is a joke. It was more a lifetime achievement award. They've had much better performances. The Grammy's are a joke. Just as the Rock n Roll Hall of Shame. Congrats otherwise.
