Airbourne is kick-ass rock

Airbourne's "Running wild" reminds me of AC/DC and Wolfmother. It is a great rock song from any new band. Listen to it and you will be head banging wild.

Kingdom Come

When metal was degenerating into thrash and death, Kingdom Come paid tributes to masters like Led Zeppelin, by bringing out albums with melodic hard rock songs. Vocalist Lenny Wolf reminded us of Robert Plant, but the band was more predictable and less experimental than Zeppelin. They had some excellent sing-along songs that included some memorable ballads.

Everything about Ugly Kid Joe was good

The thing I liked about Ugly Kid Joe, apart from their in-your-face lyrics and screeching lead guitar solos, was the attitude. The band rocked into the hard rock scene when kids were going crazy over Nirvana. Vocalist Whitfield Crane was whacky in the black-and-white video of "'Everything About you", the first song I heard from the band. The band was amazing and I still love their grungy riffs and piercing solos in "Goddamn devil" and "Milkman's Son".



Ugly Kid Joe was not that ugly, but they were a great hard rocking stuff.

Candlebox was never Far Behind

The first Candlebox song I heard and liked was “Far Behind”. The band had a unique sound to it, it was not metal anyway, but that lead solo was too much to leave it alone. I still listen to their debut album and Peter Klett’s hard bluesy and funky lead solos still sound fresh, vibrant and blasting enough.



I don’t like “You” as repeated airplay has created an aversion for that hit single. Candlebox meant “You”, I disagree. The hard debut album gave away to more alternative and slower numbers in “Lucy”, but Klett outshone everything with his bluesy solos.

Candlebox is an unforgettable band, a notch over other hyped grunge bands in the 90s.

Raging Slab - Classic hard rock band

Back in the 90s, Raging Slab did not make much news like Nirvana, but played classic hard rock stuff. Check out their history at Wikipedia.

Colorado metallers Jag Panzer was formed in 1981. The original line-up consisted of Harry Conklin (vocals), Mark Briody on guitar, John Tetley on bass, and Rick Hilyard on the drums.

Britny Fox screamed and rocked real hard

Britny Fox is one of my permanent glam metal favourites. I was totally blown away by listening to their 1988 hit album "Britny Fox". The band currently has lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Tommy Paris, lead guitarist Michael Kelly Smith, bassist Billy Childs, and drummer Johnny Dee.

My favourites include Long way to love, Girl's School, Over and out and others.

Brand New Sin really rocks

Brand New Sin is a Hard rock/Southern rock band from Syracuse, New York.

Brand New Sin released their self-titled album in 2002, Recipe For Disaster in 2005 and Tequila in 2006. I like their hit single "My World".

Extreme metal band Nile

Nile is a an extreme death metal band from South Carolina, USA. The band was formed in 1993 and are inspired by Ancient Egyptian mysticism, history, religion and art.

Decided to write about 80s hard rock band and my favorite Faster Pussycat. They got famous with their Steven Tyler-like vocals in the song "House of Pain". My picks were the rock'n rollish songs in their hit album like "Crying Shame"
