In 1980 Van Halen released their 3rd LP "Women & Children First". Once again rock radio was all over this release..the first 2 singles "And the Cradle Will Rock " and " Everybody Wants Some" were instant classics. Van Halen were quickly becoming one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Every song on this cd is awesome...remember songs such as "Take Your Whisky Home" and "Romeo Delight"?? Every Van Halen fan has this in their collection. Is it worth it to buy the remastered version? Yes it is!! It sounds 10 times better & usually comes with different liner notes or packaging. A must have!!
1984 was the biggest LP in the career of Van Halen. When "Jump" premiered in late 1983, it quickly became the bands biggest hit ever. The video was all over MTV. They followed that up with "Panama" another classic video. Then came "Hot For Teacher" the 3rd single & most unforgettable video ever... WALDO!! 2 more singles were released to rock radio..."I`ll Wait" and "Drop Dead Legs" 5 singles off one LP!! Van Halen ruled rock radio & MTV in 1984. I know rock fans wonder if its worth it to buy the REMASTERED versions of cds you already own? It is...they sound MUCH better & it usually comes with different inserts or packaging. Should you buy the remastered version? YES!!
Somehow someway Rocky continues to live on in the movies. Rock now lives in New York & owns a nice little italian restaurant. He is happy & content with life. He has very little to do with boxing anymore? In walks Apollo Creed`s son...who would have ever thought? Was there ever any doubt that Rock would train him? Michael B. Jordan plays a great role as Apollo`s son. Sylvester, well he can still play that Rocky-type role. Even though Rocky`s new training partner loses...its still a classic movie in the Rocky series. Will there be another??
Ok, I admit, when Daughtry came out I thought they were just American idol rejects... a glorified pop band. Well let me tell you, this band rocks. Seen `em live yet? THEY ROCK. They write some of the catchiest pop rock tunes out there. Check out the 2 new songs on this cd...just great rock tracks. Obviously American Idol picked the wrong winner. Chris Daughtry is here to stay!!
This band has been rockin` for over 30 years, they still sound great. Another new cd full of great rockers & soulful ballads. The core has always been Ian & Billy and side by side they make beautiful music together. Live, these dudes still can pull it off. The Cult still gettin` it done in 2016...showing `em how the big boys do it!!
It is high time we take this band STEEL PANTHER seriously!! Alot of people thought this band was just a parody..an 80`s cover band?? This is about as 80`s as a metal band can get nowadays. Sure their songs are about girls..girls...girls but they are so catchy!! This cd features the band doing their hits acoustically...they STILL pull it off. Make sure to check out the DVD, its hilarious and it rocks!!
This disc is highly considered to be Maiden at their finest!! Featuring the classic line-up & one of the best stage shows ever, Maiden live was at the top of their game. From the screeching vocals of Bruce Dickinson to the twin guitar axe of Dave Murray & Adrian Smith to the epic bass riffs of Steve Harris to the powerful drumming of Nicko McBrain this Maiden line-up rips thru classics such as "Two Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High". 1985 metal would never be the same again!!
Once again Megadeth has taken it to the next level. If you pick up the deluxe edition of their latest cd it comes with all kinds of goodies that enable you to watch their latest video with 3D goggles in virtual reality. Thats right...virtual reality on your smartphone or device. Unbelievable! This definately takes it to the next level. Besides that, it could be their best cd in over a decade!!
Whether its R-10..R-20...R-30 or R-40 Rush Rocks!!

Its amazing that Rush has been together over 40 years & can still get it done live. This DVD documents the R-40 tour and shows the band at their best. You can watch DVDs of the band from the 80`s and 90`s and realize, this band has lost NOTHING!!! The DVD is killer. The musicianship is unequaled and Geddys voice still holds up after all these years!! I mean, they have SO many great songs...how do you come up with a playlist after 40 years? You are bound to watch this DVD & say "I wish they would have played...." Its so cool that the ORIGINAL lineup is still intact. One of my favorite parts STILL has to be Neils drum solo...incredible!! This DVD is highly recommended & a must have for any RUSH fan. They seem to put out a DVD documenting every tour. Well if this was the last tour, they went out with a BANG!!
You knew going in that you were going to see a movie full of unbelievable destruction centered around the west coast. If you love movies such as 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow or Twister you will love this!! The massive quake devastates the west coast!! If that wasn`t enough a huge tidal wave makes it worse!! Thru all that THE ROCK saves his family!! A must see...
