Progressive rock band Rush has posted a new single Far Cry on their website.

My all time Rush favorite is Tom Sawyer.

Band names and bands

This was a topic suggested by my friend when I told him I want to start a metal blog.

Here is an interesting article on bands and their band names.

Long Live Randy Rhoads

March 19, 1982 - Randy Rhoads, the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, is killed when the plane in which he is flying crashes into a house in Leesburg, Fla. He was 25.



Undoubtedly, one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I still love almost all of his lead solos on singles and on stage. Here's one with Quiet Riot.

Kings X new album is coming

Yet another 80s hit band is going to release a new album. Knac.com reports that the band has tentatively titled their album as "Go Tell Somebody".

I remember a few songs from their Gretchen Goes to Nebraska album that was a big hit at the end of the 80s. As I was totally immersed in Faith No More, the band faded from my memory.

It was refreshing to see their 1990 hit "It's Love" thanks to YouTube.

Kings X is Doug Pinnick - Vocals, bass guitar, Ty Tabor - Vocals, guitars, Jerry Gaskill - Drums, percussion, vocals.

Iron Maiden rocks Bangalore

"...Headbanging, crunchy electric cords and thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums—the metallic beats reverberated not just on and off the stage, but also in the eyes of the fans...,described CNN-IBN about the first ever concert of Iron Maiden in India. CNN-IBN also has a video of the same.

Yeah, I thought of going to bang my head with scores of others. But more pressing matters changed my priorities.

The big question is who is next?
