Flight 666 now departing….
I wore out Piece of Mind, I mean I WORE THAT OUT! I listened to it all day, and then when it got to be night time, I put the headphones on… Tom Morello Rage Against The Machine “Flight 666 is now taking off,” “F*ckin’ Maiden,” and “Up The Irons” were just a few of […]

Setlist: Queensryche @ House of Blues 5-6-09

Def Leppard to release deluxe editions of Pyromania and Adrenalize in June
Now here’s a couple of releases that have been on my radar for a little while that I am VERY excited about! Def Leppard isn’t doing much that excites me these days, but Pyromania, Hysteria, and Adrenalize are the holy trinity amongst the stacks and stacks of albums that I loved in the 80s and […]
