Been listening to.... Marchello - Destiny (Kinda light, but A LOT of talent displayed here...I believe I prefer their 2nd, unreleased disc over this one;good though!) Y&T - The Ultimate Collection (Y&T rules! ) Johnny Lima - Made in California (I'm 5 songs in on this one, and it ROCKS! metalmaniac I see why this was at the top of your list for 2003....excellent stuff!)

Been listening to.... Tesla - RePlugged Live (DAMN what a great live disc!) Swingin' Thing - S/T (EP) (Got a CD-R of this one...not bad, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't pay $60+ dollars for an original!) Tyketto - Take Out & Served Up Live

Currently in the middle of a double dose of Y&T....listening to "Down For the Count" and "Black Tiger"......damn I love this band!

Well, naturally, some of the songs sound like good ol' Y&T, but quite a few of them are good, blues-based hard rock. Dave's a helluva guitarist as well as vocalist, and it really shines on his solo stuff...if you're into the bluesier side of rock, you'll definitely like it.

Listening to Meniketti - S/T and Mennen - Age of Fools at work today....I've got the 55 year old lady I share an office with singing along with Joss Mennen....kickass!!

Been listening to..... AdrianGale - Re:Program Awesome 80s style hard rock! 7 Months - S/T Interesting band...part progressive, part AOR. Kind of a unique sound, but none of the songs jumped up and grabbed me....not bad though. Big Bad Wolf - S/T WOW! Listening to this disc as I type, and all I can say is.....check the comments section here at HH,and BELIEVE THE HYPE! This sucker kicks @SS!

Listening to some new goodies over the last 24 hours.... McQueen Street - 2 (Welcome back McQueen St! Unlike so many other bands who try to update their sound to sound more "modern", these guys stick to their guns and deliver a disc that picks up right where their self-titled debut left off.....GOOD STUFF! ) Firehouse - Prime Time (Have only heard a few songs so far, but liking what I'm hearing ....) Craig Goldy's Ritual - Hidden in Plain Sight (One of the UGLIEST CD covers I've ever seen, but behind that horrid cover, is a disc full of great hard rock....thanks to those who recommended it...Blue Charvel, Christine, and Mike G.)

Gotta add... Mr. Hate - fragments to the list of favorite cheap CDs! This one can usually be picked up on eBay for around $5, and it ROCKS! If you're into straight ahead hard rock akin to Tesla,Dokken,Scorpions, Talon,Vicious Mary, etc.... grab yourself one of these the next time the opportunity presents itself; you won't be sorry!

Let's see, still listening to the Y&T - UnEarthed disc, along with: Mr. Hate - Fragments (WOW! Had never heard of these guys, and snagged it offa eBay for $5 just for the hell of it...and I'm glad I did. Excellent hard rock from these German guys, with influences ranging from Tesla & Dokken to Shotgun Messiah and Crue.Lead singer sounds like Marq Torien AT TIMES,but actually has a pretty unique voice. Good stuff!) Meniketti - S/T & Dave Meniketti - On the Blue Side (Heh-heh, I'm on a Meniketti/Y&T kick here lately) Peril - Kiss of Fire (RARER than a virgin after prom night! Hard rock outta Michigan with some glam influences present. The production is a little rough in places, but overall a pretty good indie release.)

Listening to Y&T - UnEarthed Vol.1 right now.....DAMN! Leave it to Y&T to put out a collection of demos & unreleased recordings that blows away most of the music coming out today! This f*cker ROCKS! "Standing In the Fire" is an asskicker of a song, followed up by a ballad, "In the Name of Love" that I can not believe didn't make a record before now....AWESOME! Well worth getting IMO!

Let's see,been listening to the following this weekend: Tesla - The Best of... (Man these guys F'N ROCK! Looking forward to their new release in 2004!) Mechanix - Regenerator (KICKASS disc!) D.C. Cooper - S/T (DC is one helluva vocalist) Don Dokken - Up From the Ashes (Love Dokken, but this one is harder for me to get into....a coupla good songs here)

They may have sucked live, but I really enjoy both the Dirty Deeds CDs...working on getting their "Blown" CD released under their current moniker of just "Deeds".....

Listening to Dirty Deeds - Danger of Infection at work today....GREAT melodic metal!

Heh-heh, I'll have to see what I can do for ya MJ!

I've got an MP3 of the song "Someday",and that's the only thing I've heard from their 2nd one...it is indeed pretty good....I'd like to hear the entire disc sometime!

Here's a mix that I've put together....this one is designed to "pump" ya up anytime of day! You can kinda guess the theme here..... Bulletboys - Smooth Up In Ya Whitesnake - Slide It In Poison - Talk Dirty to Me AC-DC - You Shook Me (All Night Long) Danger Danger - Slipped Her the Big One Def Leppard - Slang Kiss - Uh! All Night D'Priest - Ride You Through the Night Van Halen - Everybody Wants Some!! Kingdom Come - Get it On KingOfTheHill - I Do U Warrant - Cherry Pie LA Guns - Sex Action Lillian Axe - She Likes It On Top Swingin' Thing - Let's Do It With the Lights On Vinnie Vincent Invasion - Do You Wanna Make Love W.A.S.P. - Animal (Fuck Like a Beast) Ratt - Lovin' You's A Dirty Job Sweet Teaze - Do It Till It Hurts Trixter - Give it to Me Good Y & T - Eyes of a Stranger

Different strokes I guess! My fave offa BFTA is "Night By Night"....why that song wasn't released as a single/video is BEYOND me???

Heh-heh, be careful not trip on anything in there.....lots of stuff laying around.....and mind the cobwebs over in the corner! I agree that Tooth & Nail is an AWESOME Dokken disc, but for me, BFTA was the ultimate Dokken assault on the senses! That CD took me through high school, and has been with me ever since!

Let's see, been listening to the following: TNA - Branded - Finger on the Trigger (I like the first release better, but MJ, you'll be happy to know that Branded is growing on me!) Wanted - Over the Top (This Norwegian "Wanted" is quite a bit better than the American Wanted IMHO) DB Rox - S/t (A one man band....just heard the first few tracks....not bad....'sposed to be kinda rare! ) Second Self - Mood Ring (I'd never heard of 'em ,but grabbed 'em offa eBay....pretty decent indie glam rock release)

Look, I think everyone's who's dealing with this sspert person needs to NOT WORRY about negative feedback,get together, and go after him/her......in the end, if he/she goes to leaving a bunch of retalitory feedback, all you gotta do is offer proof to eBay that the seller has broken eBay's Terms of Service (TOS), which selling bootleg CDs is DEFINTELY violating the TOS,and you CAN get their feedbacks removed from your profile(I've actually pulled this off twice in recent years). I think the main issue right now, is... is there someone out there who's actually paid for their auctions that they won, and gotten a CD-R/bootleg instead of the proper merchandise? Until someone actually has the "fake" merchandise in their hands, it's gonna be tough to prove/do anything,because, as far as eBay is concerned, it boils down to the fact that you haven't paid for the auctions you've won. Think of it this way....sspert may indeed intend to sell a bunch of CD-Rs/Bootlegs to people, but he/she may indeed own the real discs when it comes down to it.....catch 22 there....gonna be interesting to see how this all pans out. Hope eveyone here comes out ok!

LMAO!!! Yeah it is!!! I had never even heard of McQueen Street until recently!! I have a friend who sends me CDs he's sure I'll like.........sometimes they just hit me between the eyes, like this!!! Man.....that's almost better than se..........well you get the idea!! Operative word there being ALMOST! Listening to The Cutt at work this morning...."Feel The Music"'s on right now......excellent slow grinding music!

My mailbox was filled with new music over the weekend! Been listening to the following on & off all weekend through today: Laudamus - Lost In Vain (Pretty good Christian hard rock; message is a bit thick if you really listen to the lyrics) Paul Shortino's the Cutt - Sacred Place (Finally got around to picking this one up; you can't go wrong with anything by Shortino!) Ivory Tower - Heart of the City ( I think the same thing happened with this disc as with Harem Scarem's "Higher" for me on a personal level. I'd read so many glowing reviews & comments across the internet, that I half expected my ears to orgasm when I put it in...but alas, just a slight "rise". This is a good cd, but didn't live up to my over-hyped expectations) The following 3 CDs combined to absolutely KICK MY ASS this past wekend: Cry Havoc - Fuel That Feeds the Fire Mechanix - Regenerator Fury - S/T Some of the last few years BEST releases! You can't go wrong with any of these! Listening to the following this evening: Lord Grey - Lady of the Lake Skrapp Mettle - Sensitive ("That Load" had me ROLLING!) Paul Shortino - Stand or Fall So much music, so little time!

Just thought I'd let everyone know that broadwaysmusic is back up and running on eBay...left 'em feedback for my Wanted CD finally!

You go MJ! Say, if you like Kix, you might just like Funny Money too....whatcha think?

Groannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!! That's really bad!! But don't you mean T AND A ??? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------] You know me all too well MJ! Listening to my latest acquisitions at the moment: Eyes - S/T (Damn this one ROCKS! I've always liked Jeff Scott Soto's vocals,and from what I've heard so far, this CD showcases his talents well!) The Screaming Jets - Tear of Thought (Hey, I got it for a penny + S/H!)
