Who said 80s style metal is dead?

Hardline is a US hard rock band comprising Journey's legendary guitarist Neal Schon.

Here's their title track from their 2012 album Danger Zone.

Exciter's Oblivion

I have this habit. A song starts playing in my mind/brain, and on most occasions, I have to listen to it. Oliver Sacks must have an answer.

At this moment, I remember Exciter's song Oblivion from the Violence and Force album.The thing is you must listen to Oblivion and then the first full track, Violence and Force. It is a great combination and it is a great speed/thrash metal album.

Gary Moore is No More

I never thought that I would return to this blog to pay tributes to one of the greatest rock guitarists ever, Gary Moore. The first Gary Moore I listened to was Out in the Fields, a hard-rocking song, 20 years back. A hardcore Floyd fan was willing to share the recorded album with me. Gary rocked throughout the album and I became an immediate fan of the guitarist.

Still Got the Blues was a great surprise. The song was featured in almost all the ballad collections at a period where there were no CDs. The lead solo was simply superb and exciting, but channels later edited this out for better airplay. This is another indication how channels have drowned music created by several virtuoso guitarists. Another song, Pretty Woman, was another exhilarating anthem.

With a heavy heart I pay my tributes to one of the greatest guitarists.

Interview with Paul Di'Anno

Paul Di'Anno was Iron Maiden's vocalist for the band's first album. Roadrunner has posted an interview link and video clips link.

December 2010 Updates

Death Angel's new single, Truce, from Relentless Retribution is simply a headbanger's treat.
Souls of We is George Lynch's new band. Liked Key of Noise very much. Different style anyway.
Ozzy, Lamb of God, Slayer feature in Grammy's 2011 rock/metal nominees list.
Jeff Beck's Hammerhead also received a Grammy nomination. This song has a nicel feel to it.
Can't help from saving the link from thrash masters Whiplash song from Power and Pain.
Another great sound from Agnostic Front.
