Roth will not be at the Rock Hall of Fame
The Rock and Roll hall of SHAME is such a farce that now it is involving tv producers to have input on what and who plays and sits. The LA Times is reporting that Diamond Dave, along with the VH brothers won’t be attending the event. What the fuck is this about? The Hall of Shame needs to be blown up and someone like Diamond Dave needs to be in charge of re-building it. Rumors are going around that the much anticipated reunion of VH will not happen. I think it will happen. It is only a matter of time for the stars to align right and when they do it’s gonna be one bright fucking light blasting out around stadiums all over.

Die Hunns – Live Fast
Die Hunns have released a new record called “Live Fast…” featuring some pre-production of pre-production songs that never made it on ‘You Rot Me’.
The disc begins with a cover of Back in Black that honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect but they put such a cool twist on it that it changes the song completely. Corey sings lead and Duane chimes in with the chorus. Together they make this song sound so fucking cool you have to hear it to believe it.
Die hard Hunns fans may of heard some of these songs before like “Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love and Marshal Law but Hunns fan or not, this disc is awesome. With a “pealed of production” sound which to me is very cool, the songs will make a Hunns fan out of any non-believer and will make the hardest core Hunns fan turn the knobs to 11 when listening. “Atomic Cafe” melds Corey and Duane’s voices again perfectly. The outake version of “Ain’t it a shame” is way fucking cool. These guys can do no wrong. This is the stuff that should be played on the airwaves.
After listening to the songs once I immediately set the player to repeat and will be blasting this thing for some time. Can’t wait for the next one guys.
