GUNS N' ROSES - HARD SKOOL

With the new Guns N' Roses song entitled Hard Skool Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan and their respected co. shakes the world again from quite various perspectives which is kinda really Guns N' Roses!

Musically speakin' the song is a mix of the Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion era, well at least accordin' to me. The sound is classic GNR, the musical changes are brilliant, the whole song rolls so simple yet so complex, it's so easy, yet so concentrated that I think (as millions of other fans) it's kinda controversial in a Guns N' Roses way. 

As I'm listening to the sound of the track I do slightly missing just a little bit of a modern touch, but hey, who am I to decide over Axl, Slash, Duff and their more than precious company who played sold out stadiums all around the world since about 1989, while I'm just here in front of a digital piece of $#@#$ doin' my thing?!?! :)

The Hard Skool release contains 4 tracks, costs $5.98 and ships on February 25, 2022 according the OFFICIAL GUNS N' ROSES STORE, I've already pre-ordered my copy, grab yours too! ;)

BILLY IDOL - ROADSIDE EP

RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 17, 2021

SHORT SUMMARY:

BILLY IDOL at the age of 65 just can't go wrong. THE ROADSIDE EP is just a perfect, timeless release with four superb tracks. From beautiful depression to hard party the diversity of each song is simply amazing. The experience of about sixteen minutes of pure joy just worth every penny spent on it.

TRACK BY TRACK:

1. Rita Hayworth: on one hand, speaking musically, this is an ultimate party song, on the other hand listening closely to the lyrics there is a much deeper side of the story.

2. Bitter Taste: 'There's a million ways to die....'. Being already a hit single on various platforms I would call the combination of the music and the video pure art.

3. U Don't Have To Kiss Me Like That: an ultimate teenage girl's dream party song from a real rocker's perspective. Simply amazingly awesome.

4. Baby Put Your Clothes Back On: a gentleman's definite love song, which shows how emotions between a woman and a man can cause so deep pain and confusion....

ROCK N ROLL IS BACK - THE DEAD DAISIES HOLY GROUND ALBUM REVIEW


Like a ten ton dynamite bomb the title track of the new THE DEAD DASIES record HOLY GROUND explodes, shakin' up the whole World. Huge guitars, genius bass lines, thunder-like drums. As Mr. Glenn Hughes vocals come in man, I feel like home, it all comes together. Perfect opening track.

LIKE NO OTHER (BASSLINE) the second track is your definite ROCK HYMN. Coming up with a perfect bass line the song emerges to be such a huge track with eagle screaming vocals right before Mr. Doug Aldrich's genius guitar solo. The one song you definitely never ever want to come to an end as you turning up the volume higher and higher on your audio device.

COME ALIVE with its laid back Bluesy Funky verse turns out to be a burning meteor bringing light against all of the darkness we human beings faced in the past years especially last year 2020.

BUSTLE AND FLOW hmmmm.... haven't you seen that perfectly composed animation video leaving everybody else behind the bar?!?!?!? Turn up the volume even more and catch up with it!

MY FATE fires up such a heavy riff man, that is just clean weight. The verse turns me blue, making me thinking about all things missing from past like live gigs! As the chorus parts kicks in I'm instantly been hit to the ground laying down headbanging. Such a huge track also!

CHOSEN AND JUSTIFIED is such a cool rockin' track just an instant favourite of mine. The song features huge guitar tracks like you would look into the eyes and sizes of a mammuth. Short joy, but real good joy, better bet on that song! ;)

SAVING GRACE hellyeah, rocks the heck out of me and from the loudspeakers too! Beautiful lyrics, musically speaking huge twists, insage guitar solo, and sweet, honest screams from Mr. Glenn Hughes that will rock everybody balls off and wet the ladies' panties.

UNSPOKEN deeply touching, yet real hard rockin' one. As the rest of the album it is pure ROCK 'N ROLL MUSIC with the greatest attitude given by those musicians who are truly gifted in talent.

30 DAYS IN A HOLE is your instant hit Hard Rock song. Get away Covid virus, we wanna Rock 'N Roll!

RIGHTEOUS DAYS gives us cold chills right there with the introducing guitar melody then it explodes to a hard hitting, smashing mid-tempo song. Another 10/10.

FAR AWAY is a beautifully crafted closing of this phenomenal record. As a ballad this song is really one of a kind painful, full of deep feelings and huge melodies with musical twist which only real musicians can write from deep inside their hearts. As the ending part goes it is simply uniquely genius.

THE DEAD DASIES HOLY GROUND is a mystic place for me and I hope for everybody else out there where all the transformation happen for good soul vibes. These four gentlemen made history by proving that great Rock 'N Roll has a place, has the soul, has a future and it is the best thing of LIFE that is BEING ALIVE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS THE DEAD DAISIES IN 2021, GLENN HUGHES ON VOCALS AND BASS GUITAR, DOUG ALDRICH ON LEAD GUITAR, DAVID LOWY ON GUITAR AND DEAN CASTRONOVO ON DRUMS. 11 out of 10 points. SALUTE!
