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 →
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 →
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 →
I love Def Leppard, but sometimes I feel like their setlists have gotten pretty predictable throughout the years. They still sound great live, and the experience itself is mind-blowing (from what I've researched), but I think it's time for the boys to spice up their concerts. Their catalog is so diverse, yet they play the... Continue Reading →
Photo of Def Leppard by Ross Halfin On August 3, 1987, exactly 33 years ago, hard rock legends Def Leppard released their fourth studio album titled Hysteria. The album was the result of dreadful hours in the studio, record-producer Mutt Lange's perfectionism, the never-ending debt of making the album, and drummer Rick Allen's determination to be...

On March 31, 1992, Def Leppard's Adrenalize album was released to the public, 28 years ago! After Hysteria (1987) came out, the band wanted to release the next album as soon as possible, or at least after the Hysteria tour ended. However, those plans got scrapped after guitarist Steve Clark's death on January 8th, 1991. Clark died due to... Continue Reading →
On January 20th, 1983 (exactly 37 years ago), Def Leppard's Pyromania album was released to the public and made Def Leppard one of the biggest bands in the world. This album means a lot to me because it was the first Def Leppard album I ever listened to from start to finish. It was also the first... Continue Reading →
