AC/DC was "back in business," thanks to the success of 1990s The Razors Edge, which contains "Moneytalks" and "Thunderstruck." It was their first (and only) studio album with drummer Chris Slade; though, he wouldn't last long as fate would have it that the boys would reunite with former drummer Phil Rudd, who left some big shoes...

‘AC/DC Live’ is Pretty Great! | Album Review
This past Friday, while helping my mom do some last-minute Christmas shopping, I went to the Book Off at Pearlridge, hoping that I'd find at least one new AC/DC album to add to my collection. It wasn't The Razors Edge (1990), but it was something better, AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition (1992). As you've read in my previous AC/DC... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Songs – Fall 2020
My last exam is this Wednesday, so I thought now would be the perfect time to wrap up Fall 2020 and talk about my favorite songs from that time since I had so much fun making My Favorite Songs – Summer 2020 post. I tried to diversify this list by including more songs by different artists, but... Continue Reading →
I’m Finally 22, So What’s New?
On Monday, Nov. 30, I turned 22 years old, and no, I did not sing Taylor Swift's "22" that day. But it was a great day; I got to see my grandma, I had chicken katsu from L&L for lunch, two of my Amazon CDs came in, I had spring rolls and fried shrimp for... Continue Reading →
Was AC/DC’s ‘The Razors Edge’ Their Big Comeback?!? | Album Review
I've been all over the place with my AC/DC reviews recently. But this time, I'm going to take on the band's follow-up to Blow Up Your Video (1988). I reviewed that album back in August, which you can find over here. Anyway, today we're focusing on The Razors Edge (1990), which supposedly is AC/DC "comeback" album; I say otherwise, however. ...

Songs with the Same Title – Bon Jovi Edition
I started a series back in July, where I talk about songs with the same title, but I only did one so far (Songs with the Same Title - Backstreet Boys Edition). Now I'm bringing it back, and this time, the main focus will be on Bon Jovi. However, I'll only be focusing on songs... Continue Reading →
My Top Five AC/DC Songs
AC/DC released their 17th studio album today, so in celebration of that, I'll be sharing my top five AC/DC songs of all time. Why bring up only five? That's because ten songs would be too easy; come on! I don't do things the easy way, in case you haven't noticed! Also, I'm only doing one... Continue Reading →
Lessons from the Late Great Steve Clark
It's been a while since I talked about Steve Clark, but he was an incredible individual. I've never met him, but I wish I did. He has changed my perspective on life and the way I look at different types of music, specifically rock and heavy metal music. I won't get into how Clark died... Continue Reading →
The Best of Def Leppard Deep Cuts and Rarities
Inspired by Mike Ladano's Highway to Lists: Live Streaming AC/DC Deep Cuts post, I thought it'd be fun to do a similar post about Def Leppard deep cuts. But I'll also include rare hits that didn't make their studio albums; yet are still worth mentioning. I've created some guidelines to make things easier for me. So... Continue Reading →
AC/DC’s ‘High Voltage’ is the Best Purchase I Ever Made! | Album Review
Ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it did get you to click on this review. Right? I was going to do a review on Queen's first album, but after a trip to the Book Off at Pearlridge this past Friday, those plans changed. I scored four kickass albums, including AC/DC's High Voltage (1976). The... Continue Reading →
