Iron Maiden is considered one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. As part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, they shook everyone’s core with their self-titled debut album in 1980. While that album and the following release had some decent tracks, it was the band’s third album The Number of... Continue Reading →
Three years ago, when I first got into Bon Jovi, I would’ve said, “heck yes, Richie should definitely return to the band!” Now, I have my doubts. For those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, Richie Sambora was the guitar player for the American hard rock band Bon Jovi from 1983 to... Continue Reading →
After finishing Ralph Macchio’s book this past November, I started watching Cobra Kai, which is the sequel to the beloved 80s film franchise, The Karate Kid. However, I stopped halfway through season three, so that I could focus on the last month of my Disney College Program. Thankfully, this past Sunday, I had enough time... Continue Reading →
Back in July, there were speculations that Richie Sambora was planning to release a new studio album in the fall. You know, the one he’s been working on since the pandemic. Flash forward to November, four months later, and Sambora hasn’t released the album yet. What’s holding him back from releasing the dang thing? We’re... Continue Reading →
When I first got into rock music back in 2018, Skid Row was one of the many bands that were added to my Spotify playlist. Once I started my CD collection last year, I knew I had to have the band’s debut album because 1) I was familiar with hit singles and 2) I liked... 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 →
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 →
I was hesitant to get Bon Jovi’s New Jersey (1988) at first, since Richie Sambora isn’t in Bon Jovi anymore, therefore, I shouldn’t have anything to do with Bon Jovi, which is stupid because I previously bought 7800° Fahrenheit (1985). If you want to check out that review, click on the link here! I finally... Continue Reading →
Here’s a funny story. When I was browsing through the Book Off at Pearlridge, I found Bon Jovi’s 7800° Fahrenheit (1985) and Slippery When Wet (1986). I was torn between those two albums because while the latter is a classic, I’m all about showing love for the underappreciated stuff. The only track I knew from... Continue Reading →
