"Hail! Hail The Sting in the TAIL!!!"

SCORPIONS have begun their final world tour with succesful shows in Prague & Moscow where songs from their new record (now available in Germany, March 22nd & 23rd worldwide) were debuted and well received. STING IN THE TAIL seems to be doing well in terms of chart places so far and reviews have been positive, it's certainly a cut above 'Humanity: HOUR 1, it's certainly a fantastic send-off from the teutonic heroes of metal. The album is hard, heavy, & melodic. Highlights include, 'NO LIMIT', 'RAISED ON ROCK' 'TURN YOU ON', 'LORELEI'...think CRAZY WORLD MEETS 1984's LOVE AT FIRST STING with a slight modern twist. This is pure SCORPIONS, don't expect an overnight sensation, this album takes time to grow, but in my eyes this is a sign of it's quality. Is it their best? No, is it worth it, ABSOLUTELY. It's a stronger record than Humanity or Unbreakable and probably their best since FACE THE HEAT. Buy IT, love IT and GET STUNG. A quality album to end their career with. "Hail! Hail The Sting in the TAIL!!!"



Check out the SCORPIONS official site for more info. Full song clips can be found on Youtube.

Saturday, March 13, 2010

MARCH PLAYLIST: '70, '80, '81, '85, '99, '07


Great rock n' roll track from an arguably overlooked album, excellent chorus.


STP at their best but subdued.


Seemingly forgotten W.A.S.P masterpiece


Probably Ozzy's best epic track, featuring Randy Rhoads seminal guitar work.


Brilliant work from the CCR gang


Killer track from the 80's bad boys.

RAMMSTEIN - MAKING 'ICH TU DIR WEH'



MASTODON LIVE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE 24.2.10







Mastodon's performance at the Camden Roundhouse was for a lack of a more ingenious word, fantastic. I had seen them back in '07 supporting Metallica at Wembley, but amidst the vastness of the stadium and my unfamiliarity with their material at the time I had only my respect for them to take away with me. Wednesday night's offering was something totally different. Presenting the entire 'Crack the Skye' album which has received several accolades from the metal music world and reputed as one of the best albums of the noughties, the sold out Roundhouse was in for an epic 50min journey complete with a brilliant & mesmerising video background to further emphasise the journey that the band led us through. This first half of their show raptured the audience and the thundering riff on Divinations or the epic prog influenced The Last Baron delivered with utmost sincerity and perfect musicianship. Once this first set was complete the second set was filled with what now are regarded as Mastodon classics, and arguably more brutal and heavier than their newer material, bringing a nice balance of new & old to the night. They are certainly a band to watch and to be followed, as their talent, material, and live presence will hopefully be here for a long time. hail mastodon.

Set list for the night:
  1. Oblivion
  2. Divinations
  3. Quintessence
  4. The Czar
  5. Ghost Of Karelia
  6. Crack The Skye
  7. The Last Baron
  1. Encore:
  2. Circle Of Cysquatch
  3. Aqua Dementia
  4. Where Strides The Behemoth
  5. Mother Puncher
  6. Iron Tusk
  7. March of the Fire Ants
