    I still find it hard to believe that Judas Priest is celebrating their 50th anniversary.  Growing up in the 1980s and getting introduced to Judas Priest - to think 50 years before then - that would have been the 1930s.  Time does fly. Well, like it or not - the hard rocking band from West Bromvich are celebrating their 50th anniversary and have confirmed a tour of the US to celebrate it.  Lead singer Rob Halford has even hinted that there's a possibili …

KISS will re-embark on their End of the Road Tour, in February 2020, and they've nabbed one heck of an opening act: none other than David Lee Roth!  A few months ago, I reported that "Diamond Dave" will have a residency, in Las Vegas, early next year.  That's still planned, but those particular shows will occur before and after David goes on the road, with KISS.  As far as Van Halen is concerned, David thinks they're done, but he won't officially confirm or d …

     So do you remember when Motley Crue did this whole press conference thing back in, I believe, around 2013 -2014 swearing that their touring days, as Motley Crue were going to be done, after one last farewell tour, and even signed a contract, during that press conference, to legally swear by it?  Well, that contract is now null and void!  Yes, Motley Crue is possibly re-forming to tour along with Def Leppard and Poison, in 2020.  But how is t …

Ozzy Osbourne's upcoming album, that I wrote about on Halloween, due in January, 2020, has an official name, at least for now.  It's being called Ordinary Man.  And, it features some big name talent, as backing musicians: Guns N' Roses' bassist, Duff McKagan and Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer, Chad Smith. The album, recorded in 4 weeks, is, according to Ozzy the "catalyst" that propelled him out of a depressed state, as he was suffering from some serious health condit …

The legendary heavy metal singer-songwriter, Ozzy Osbourne, has recorded a new album set for release this January.   According to his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy was rejuvenated to go back into the studio, after his collaboration with rapper, Post Malone.   As many are aware, Ozzy had to cut his previous tour short, due to an illness he encountered, while on the road, leaving Ozzy depressed, as he healed.  He recorded the upcoming album while h …

                                                                     Are you a fan of the 1993 classic rock infused stoner film, Dazed and Confused, about the last day of school for a bunch of Texas teens, set in 1976? I don't know a music or movie buff who isn't. It was a pioneering film that launched the careers of …
