Contest: Win “Green” By R.E.M. On Vinyl + A Vintage Tour Program!
When I logged into the ATV control panel, it made the Aerosmith sound. I can’t tell you exactly what that means, but briefly, it just means that it’s been a helluva long while since the last time we spoke. (Speaking of Aerosmith, I got a chance to interview guitarist Brad Whitford briefly last week….woooooo! The […]
Randomly: Wilco, Nirvana and Chickenfoot
Three albums out of quite a few which have been part of the percolating music mix in my world lately…and I just had to stop by and saw a few words. First up – the Chickenfoot album…don’t be confused by the ‘Chickenfoot III’ title – they’re simply so advanced that they skipped ahead title-wise for […]
Going “Under The Blade” With Twisted Sister
With the release of Big Hits and Nasty Cuts in the early ’90s, it seemed like it might be the end of the line for Twisted Sister fans, better known within the circle as “SMFs” and the prospects of any further TS releases. But as the reissues market continued to crank up, an archival live […]

30 Years of Don’t Say No: An ATV Interview with Billy Squier
Along with Van Halen’s Fair Warning, Billy Squier’s Don’t Say No is a hard rock soundtrack to a life lived by me in that very important year of growth and change. Lead off unassumingly by “In The Dark,” the record tracks (even today!) right through to the finish as a carefree time capsule of rock fashion and attitude. It was my pleasure to talk with Billy about his (ours!) masterpiece…
Here’s an update on that Full House reissue
It looks like it’s canceled, at least for the moment. Take that reissue of the J. Geils Band’s “Live — Full House” off your shopping list. Peter Wolf tells The Insider that the group has scotched Rhino Records’ plans to put out the two-CD set, which was slated to feature both of the April 21-22, […]
I don’t like Mondays…except for this one!
You know what? You’re right. Mondays do suck, except when you get some really good news from J. Geils Band and Rhino Handmade. An expanded reissue of “Live” Full House? Featuring 23 previously unreleased performances? Double disc? Hell yeah! Click here to pre-order your copy now. UPDATE: Arrrrrgh. It looks like this title has been […]
CD Review: Triumph, “Greatest Hits Remixed”
Back in the ’80s, I don’t think I could have given you the name of five songs by Triumph, and perhaps, not even one song by the Canadian rock trio that didn’t have the name “Rush” on their albums. In spite of my ignorance, Triumph apparently did just fine, and had themselves quite a career, […]
