I haven’t been this excited about a KISS CD since Psycho Circus back in 1998. Being a KISS fan for over 35 years I found myself enjoying their 2009 release Sonic Boom but feel Monster is a more unified and stronger sounding effort with the band having found their unique writing style.
Southern hard rockers, Drivin’ n Cryin’, whose hits such as “Fly Me Courageous” and “Build A Fire” still receive heavy rotation on the Hair Nation airwaves, have powerfully made their return to the music world after a three year break of releasing new music.
In late August, Eagle Rock Entertainment released the DVD, Queen’s Greatest Video Hits, that rocks and entertains with the soaring reach of Freddy Mercury’s vocals and the lush harmonies the group mesmerized us with on track after track.
As expected, Alan Jackson’s show at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, Vienna, Virginia, in August rocked the house, with fans singing along with lyrics that are by now hardwired into their Alan Jackson memory modes.
Steve Vai and crew landed in the Nation’s capital in August to launch a musical tirade befitting one of the best guitarists on the planet. Behind was enough amp tonnage to crush, with top brands like Fender, Freeman, Legacy and PRS.
With only three shows left in their summer tour schedule, Kiss and Motley Crue pulled out all the stops and put on one Hell of a show at PNC in Holmdel, New Jersey, as they shared the stage in a tour simply and powerfully dubbed “The Tour”.
Well known for their signature southern hard rock that takes some dynamite influences of AC/DC’s dynamo power and a few heavy doses of David Lee Roth’s charisma, their raunchy fun attitude, and arguably even more so for their unrivaled chainsaw solos, Jackyl marks their 2012 return with the Best In Show.
Five words: A Different Kind of Truth. Although having already given a magnificent 2007 reunion tour, the almighty Van Halen’s true return finally came around this year with their first new studio album in over 28 years with the just-as-legendary David Lee Roth on lead vocals.
One of the latest and largest of hard rock supergroups, WhoCares features an all-star cast of musicians, including Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, bassist Jason Newsted of Metallica, and Iron Maiden percussionist, Nicko McBrain.
