August 19, 1991. Judas Priest’s final show with Rob Halford for over a decade. Michael Williams caught Darrell Dwarf Millar of the Killer Dwarfs checking out Alice Cooper, Priest, Motorhead and more at Operation Rock and Roll! Darrell discusses working with the very busy Andy Johns for the next Dwarfs record, Method to the Madness, which was set to begin in L.A. in September of that year.
The 90s were a weird time. For all intents and purposes, one of the biggest bands in the world was gone: Guns N’ Roses. We had to settle for solo albums from Duff, Slash, Gilby and Izzy.
Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan teamed up with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, and John Taylor from Duran Duran, to form the punky supergroup Neurotic Outsiders. They made one album. One and done! But what an album it was. We’ll be discussing all this and more tonight on Grant’s Rock Warehaus!
From 1994’s live album Once And For All, it’s Loudness with the EZO cover “House of 1000 Pleasures”. Masaki Yamada (ex-EZO) was the singer, and this live album kicked absolute ass. That riff really grooves.
To the shock and dismay of her 200,000 fans, Grab A Stack of Rock co-host @MarriedandHeels has made the announcement that she is done with high heel shoes, and is now endorsing Crocs and only Crocs! This will come with a name change, to @MarriedandCrocs.
“It’s true,” she announced while sipping on her watermelon peach tea, with local honey. “To be honest, high heel shoes are too much work. Do you have any idea how hard it to walk in 10 inch platforms? I know my loyal fans will understand. After all, I still have my boobs, and they really like those!” she reasoned.
Reportedly, her OnlyFans account saw a boost of over 1000 new subscribers this morning.
“There must be many fans out there with a Crocs fetish,” she concluded. “I plan on buying as many colours and styles as I can! Especially those sexy KISS Crocs! I bet they look hot with silver anklets!”
Is there anything you don’t like about Crocs, we asked her?
“Just that you can’t see my pretty toe rings and pedicure!” she winked. With that, @MarriedandHeels logged onto Amazon to order a pair in hot pink. “See you April 7 on Grab A Stack of Rack!” she said to her fans in a statement.
I don’t mind me a little Static-X. Listening to a whole album of these songs in one sitting is a little much, but taken one at a time, their music is heavy, fun, and bizarrely catchy. A lot of that had to do with the unique vocal stylings of the late lead singer, Wayne Static.
Today, Static-X are touring as a tribute to Wayne, with a man named Xer0 fronting them, wearing an eye-catching Wayne-like robot suit. Xer0 is said to be portrayed by Edsel Dope, of the band Dope, and friend of Static-X.
I think this is a pretty cool way for a band to carry on when the frontman is gone forever. Bassist Tony Campos is passionate and enthusiastic, and the crowd eat it all up!
Last night was a bounty of success, except for poor Mr. Jex, who suffered from wi-fi issues all night. Thank you to Jexciter for showing up and playing along! Rob Daniels, John T. Snow, and special surprise guest @MarriedAndHeels all joined in last night for a casual chat!
We successfully streamed to Rob’s Facebook, and the 2loud2oldmusic & Jex’s Vinyl World pages! This will help us reach more viewers in the future.
Unfortunately, Tim Durling could not join us, which is a real shame since he was responsible for two of the albums I unboxed, both Japanese imports.
John had some rare Whitesnake and Bon Jovi to show us, Rob had a book and a Helix-related soundtrack, and Jex some Judas Priest and monster movies.
The California Girl known as @MarriedAndHeels showed us her new Nike’s that took her on a 12.5 mile run earlier this week!
We had a lively discussion about Richie Sambora/Bon Jovi, Kiss’ Farewell Tour, Star Wars and a myriad of topics!
Thanks for watching, and if you haven’t, then please give it a watch below!
I think it’s safe to say that the 1998 British film Still Crazy is my favourite movie about a fictional band. Yes, that means I like it better than the “big one”. I definitely prefer it to Rock Star. It’s just plain better, from story to performance to music. I never cried during Rock Star, but I do weep during Still Crazy when guitarist Brian makes his triumphant return to the stage during “The Flame Still Burns”, as sung by Jimmy Nail.
Foreigner later recorded “The Flame Still Burns” in 2017. It was co-written by Mick Jones.
I live a life that’s surreal Where all that I feel I am learning My life is like an ever spinning wheel Fueld by a fire that’s still burning
And in time, it’s all a sweet mystery When you shake the tree of temptation Yeah and I, I know the fear and the cost Of a paradise lost in frustration
And the flame still burns It’s there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life
Ooh I, I want my thoughts to be heard The unspoken words of my wisdom Today as the light starts to glow Tomorrow who knows who will listen
But my life has no language of love No words from above are appearing But in time, in time the fire will grow With a reason for hope and believing
And the flame still burns It’s there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life
Oh, keep rolling, keep that flame still burning Keep on rolling while the world keeps turning Ah, keep rolling Yeah, keep rolling Ah, yeah, ooh
And the flame still burns It’s there in my soul, it’s there in my soul And the flame still burns Yeah, it’s there in my soul, forever I know And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then, oh yeah
And the flame still burns Oh, it’s there in my soul, oh, it’s there in my soul And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then Oh, it lights up again in my life In my life
