Every casual Def Leppard fan has heard of “When Love & Hate Collide;” it was featured on the band’s Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980 - 1995) album. The studio version is cool as it’s very stripped down and similar towards the alternative style that Def Leppard was aiming for with Slang (1996). “When Love... Continue Reading →
Before we get started, I’d like to point out that this post was inspired by a YouTube video from one of my favorite YouTubers called, “i watched the twilight movies for the first time.” While this person made some very good points on why this film series is trash, there were some points where I...

Yesterday morning, on September 29, 2021, I woke up to a tweet by AC/DC that announced the band was planning to release an official music video for “Through the Mists of Time.” The music video was posted on the band’s YouTube channel at 4:00 a.m. HST on the following day, September 30. “Through the Mists...

It’s time for another edition of the Songs with the Same Title series and we’re moving onto an American rock band called Styx. I previously took on another American rock band called Journey, so if you haven’t already, feel free to check out that post here! So, there are six rounds total and in each... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, a WordPress friend of mine, Mike Ladano, asked if I could review an EP by a Canadian rock band known as Max the Axe. So I thought, “why not!” I’ve heard a couple of their songs from Ladano’s livestreams, but I’ve never sat down and listened to any of the band’s tracks.... Continue Reading →
Thanks to Sea of Tranquility, I became fascinated with the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM). Pete Pardo and Martin Popoff shared their top 10 NWOBHM albums and one of the albums mentioned was Savage’s Loose ‘N Lethal (1983). Savage turned out to be a very obscure band; there are no Wikipedia articles for... Continue Reading →
The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) took place less than a week ago, but does anyone care anymore? Maybe in the 90s, yes. But now, MTV is all about the drama and reality shows, so the channel lost its credentials a long time ago. What’s the purpose of music videos, anyways? AC/DC never cared... Continue Reading →
Since I haven’t been to many concerts growing up, my new mission is to see my favorite hard rock bands before they all retire. As it turns out, the Scorpions are doing a Las Vegas residency in 2022 from late March till the second week of April (but that may change, depending on COVID-19). I’m... Continue Reading →
This past week, I finished an American Idol marathon for season eight in three days, excluding the auditions. Since the memories of Adam Lambert’s brilliant performances are still fresh in my mind, I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to rank my top five performances of his from the show. I’m only doing five because... Continue Reading →
After I begged my parents to take me to Hungry Ear Records in Kakaʻako, my mom wanted to go to Pearlridge, so that she could go to Macy’s and I could go to the Book Off. One of the albums I found was Whitesnake’s Slip of the Tongue (1989). Some of the panel on Sea... Continue Reading →
