Hello ATVians! How are thee? Living life to the fullest, I hope. If you have been, let’s keep it continuous (to borrow Sammy Sosa’s rather odd parlance). If not, here’s your chance. The upcoming week is a grand one for live music performance. Paleface is playing what used to be called the Matinee (on W. […]
Won’t get fooled again….
…unless you still need tickets to see Roger Daltrey at the House of Blues here in Cleveland on November 3rd. Mr. Daltrey’s rock and roll performance in Cleveland is officially sold out. For those that have tickets for the HOB show, it sounds like you’ll be enjoying a good show – check out a recent […]

Setlist: Metallica at Quicken Loans Arena – 10/15/09
You know, it’s crazy when I think about the fact that I’ve seen Metallica 36 times now, yet this was the first time I’ve seen them in the last decade. I have worshipped this band since I was a kid, but the facts are the facts, and the fact is that they did a solid […]
Hey man, is that AC/DC? Yeah man. Well turn-it-up man!
Oh my God, it’s like we opened up the souls of a thousand rock and rolls….. If the Freedom Rock guys from the 80’s were around today in 2009 promoting the new AC/DC rarities box set Backtracks, I’m thinking it would look something like this video featuring Billy and George of AC/DC FanNation. Hilarious.
Best music blog? We blush.
Cleveland Scene’s annual Best of Cleveland issue hit the streets yesterday, and we’re honored to have Addicted to Vinyl listed in the critics’ picks under the banner of “Best Music Blog Besides Ours.” If you’ve followed the musical history of REO Speedwagon, you might think that it’s impossible to find critical love in your home […]
A couple of rock and roll birthday greetings….

My Hayward/Moodies love began when I saw this video as a kid…. Moody Blues Your Wildest Dreams by avajra ….and continued […]
Cage Match: Bruce Springsteen vs. Bruce Springsteen
By now, you probably know that I got some results out of my recent “open letter” to Bruce Springsteen. Kind of. I was pulling for full album performances of Born To Run in St. Louis, and Darkness On The Edge of Town in Cleveland. Announcements were made on Monday morning that both Cleveland and St. […]
Do I end every sentence like it’s a question, aye?
Thanks to Rob Smith of Popdose for pointing me towards this hilarious video exchange featuring an “interview” with 80s popster Richard Marx. Billboard’s Bill Werde and Marx kick the traditional interview format out the window while discussing Marx’s latest album Emotional Remains, and have some humorous fun at the expense of some of Marx’s fellow […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week – Califone
Hello ATVians, Sorry to fail you last week. I don’t like doing the kitchen sink method of advice giving – I am much more in favor of zeroing in on just the right thing and then hammering on it – but things were just oh so hectic. Today, as I write this, I feel a […]
