For my last AC/DC review, I gave my thoughts on Ballbreaker (1995), now I'll be looking at Stiff Upper Lip (2000). I bought the Stiff Upper Lip album in June/July; it's all a blur now. The point is, we're here, and I'm ready to share my thoughts on the band's 14th (13th internationally released) studio album. "Stiff Upper Lip" started the... Continue Reading →
Five Disney Channel Original Movie Songs That Rock
Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs) were huge for me, not so much now! But everything from Camp Rock, High School Musical, Lemonade Mouth, and Stuck in the Suburbs, those films were my childhood. Some of the movies were cheesy as heck, but they came with great songs. Most of them were pop songs, but they had some rock moments... Continue Reading →
Songs with the Same Title – Kiss Edition
Happy new year, everyone! How about we do another band for the Songs with the Same Title series to kick off the new year? The next act I will cover in the series will be Kiss. Unlike Bon Jovi, it was harder to find Kiss songs with the same title as other artists' songs, so I had to... Continue Reading →
Thank Goodness AC/DC Brought Back Phil Rudd for ‘Ballbreaker’! | Album Review
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 →
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 →
