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 →
2022 has been quite an interesting year. At the beginning of the year, I was still living in Hawaii listening to my Bon Jovi albums in my room and as we near the end of the year, I'm currently in Florida finishing up my Disney College Program. I've been living in Florida since mid-March, so... Continue Reading →
It’s the month of October, which means that Halloween is coming up fast! So, why not do a post about songs to get you into the spooky season? To count as a spooky song, it either has to create a dark mood, the song theme has to relate to Halloween, or it has to sound... Continue Reading →
On February 11, 2018, Judas Priest announced that guitarist Glenn Tipton was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Tipton was first diagnosed with the disease in 2008. Less than a month after the announcement, the band released their 18th studio album, Firepower (2018) on March 9, 2018. Tipton did play on the album, but unfortunately, he couldn’t...

Judas Priest’s Painkiller (1990) album is the first to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced Dave Holland in 1989. It is also vocalist Rob Halford’s last album with the band until Angel of Retribution (2005). I never realized how common it was for band members to leave and return to the band years later. It...

To be honest, I only bought Stained Class (1978) because of the controversy surrounding this album, specifically for the band’s cover of “Better by You, Better Than Me” by Spooky Tooth. In 1990, 12 years after the album’s release, Judas Priest was sued by the parents of a teenager, James Vance, who entered a suicide... Continue Reading →
Who’s in the mood for some Judas Priest? Today, I’ll be reviewing the band’s third studio album titled, Sin After Sin (1977). Produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, it is the last album to feature the former gothic font for the Judas Priest logo. The line-up that played on the album includes Rob Halford...

I was least excited for this album review because it’s the longest album I’ve covered on my blog so far (almost an hour and 22 minutes total). But you know what, I can’t put it off anymore! I’m doing it! I’m finally going to review Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu (2021) album, the band’s first studio album... Continue Reading →
When James Durbin released The Beast Awakens (2021) back in February, I thought the album was ok, so I didn’t buy a physical copy of it then. However, as time went by, I decided to give the album another chance because Durbin was kind enough to like some of my comments on his Instagram posts.... Continue Reading →
James Durbin is one of my favorite contestants that ever came from American Idol (2002 - 2016 and 2018 - present) because of his story, he took risks when he performed on stage, and his love for heavy metal. He wasn’t just a heavy metal singer though, and this American Idol Season 10 Highlights: James... Continue Reading →
