    I can slightly see or understand why the woke people acting upon things happening now or in the future. That don't mean I accept it, I really think it's digusting. But going back in time trying to cancel/change things is absolutely a BIG FUCKING NO for me. Revolting
  2. That's a cool looking boxset. Ltd. Boxset (500 units) contains:- Digipak-CD- Videogame "Handheld"- Certificate Of Authenticity - Autograph Card
  3. Haven't you heard 'bout the Winter War? If not, go look it up. Interesting read. The world's deadliest sniper, a Finn called Simo 'The White Death' Häyhä. Over 500 kills.

  5. Move to Finland, the happiest country in the world! We were the happiest one in 2021. Or maybe not, it can be pretty cold sometimes...
  6. New song 'Generation Mind' from the new album of the same name. From Frontiers: Vocalist Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group), guitarist Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake), bassist Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken), and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big), otherwise known as BLACK SWAN will return with a second album, "Generation Mind" on April 8, 2022. The first single from the album, the title track, is out now. A music video for 'Generation Mind' was filmed in Los Angeles recently and fans can expect that to premiere in the coming weeks. Picking up where their stunning, and well-received, debut album “Shake The World” left off, the foursome once again delivers a powerful hard rock statement. With the entirety of the album written and composed by McAuley, Pilson, and Beach, "Generation Mind" sees Black Swan an even more cohesive and focused unit from their debut. Once again produced and recorded by Jeff Pilson at Pilsound Studios in LA, with Matt Starr’s drums being recorded at On Deck Sound Studios, “Generation Mind" is another outstanding showcase for the musical talents of the instrumental players in the band as well as McAuley’s powerful voice, which seems to defy age. Black Swan has again produced something fresh, heavy, intensely melodic and an album that is certainly not a mish-mash of the members other bands, but it’s own unique sonic entity. “Generation Mind” is a killer slice of melodic hard rock/metal from seasoned players who defied all expectations on their debut by having gelled musically so cohesively. And now, having established their sonic signature and being more in tune with one another's songwriting, they have taken the blueprint of "Shake The World" and taken it to the next level on "Generation Mind". Whether you are a fan from “back in the day” of the members' other bands or brand new to the '80s hard rock scene and just diving in, "Generation Mind" is going to be essential listening! "Generation Mind" Tracklisting: 1. Before The Light 2. She Hides Behind 3. Generation Mind 4. Eagles Fly 5. See You Cry 6. Killer On The Loose 7. Miracle 8. How Do You Feel 9. Long Way Down 10. Crown 11. Wicked The Day 12. I Will Follow LINE-UP: Robin McAuley - Lead Vocals, Background Vocals Reb Beach - Guitars, Background Vocals Jeff Pilson - Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Keys, Background Vocals Matt Starr - Drums, Percussion Casey McAuley - Additional Background Vocals

  8. New video for 'Don't Let It End' from the new album. From Frontiers: First Signal, a musical union between Canadian vocalist Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) and Swedish drummer/producer Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet, Find Me), have announced the forthcoming release of their new album, “Closer To The Edge” on April 8, 2022. The new record, their fourth overall, offers up another outstanding collection of songs that continues the fine tradition they've now established over the course of their discography. The first single and video from the album, 'Don't Let It End, is out today. Hess is, as always, on fire here and this is another outstanding production job by Flores. As with previous releases, this will be another must hear for fans of the AOR/Melodic Rock genre as, in 2022, it does not get any better than this. Pete Alpenborg (Arctic Rain), Guillermo Del Medio (Inner Stream), Alessandro Del Vecchio, Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal), Herman Nori, and others have contributed their songwriting talents to this latest opus with spectacular results. “Closer to the Edge” is once again a total delight for AOR and melodic rock fans and an easy contender for AOR album of the year. Started in 2010, First Signal started as a musical partnership between vocalist Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) and German producer Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Khymera). The seeds of this union were planted that same year when Frontiers President and Head of A&R, Serafino Perugino presented Hess some melodic rock songs which had the same vibe and magic as Harem Scarem, whom, at the time, were on a hiatus. The self-titled debut album was greeted with excellent reviews from the Melodic Rock faithful, so even when Harem Scarem rebooted to record an excellent comeback album, “Thirteen”, Hess was still keen to record some more excellent melodic rock songs that he had gathered from various songwriters under the First Signal banner. So, the idea of another First Signal album continued to float around and with the help of Swedish producer/drummer Daniel Flores now stepping in for Ward, the second record, "One Step Over The Line" (2016), started to take shape. Once again, the inspiration behind the songs were the first two Harem Scarem albums, two absolute Melodic Rock classics, but, as with the debut, some new twists were thrown in the mix with the songs covering everything from AOR to Arena Hard Rock. The album was also greeted with much excitement from the Melodic Rock / AOR fanbase, especially in Europe. With that kind of reception, recording a third album, "Line Of Fire" (2019), was a no-brainer. With songs provided by Stan Meissner, Harry Hess, Henrik Hedström, Lars Edvall, Anderz Wrethov, Andreas Johansson, Carl Dixon, Bruce Turgon, Sören Kronqvist, Morgan Jensen, Hal Marabel, Daniel Palmqvist, Ulrick Lönnqvist, Nigel Bailey, and production duties handled again by Daniel Flores, “Line of Fire” was another awesome slab of great AOR/melodic rock for the 21st century. And now, in 2022, the band continues the traditions they've established with their previous three releases on the fourth entry into their catalog, "Closer To The Edge". Tracklist: 1. Don't Let It End 2. I Don't Wanna Feel The Night Is Over 3. Show Me The Way 4. Don't Look Away 5. Irreplaceable 6. One More Time 7. Closer To The Edge 8. Angel With A Rose 9. Mystery 10. The Hurting One 11. Got To Believe LINE-UP: Harry Hess - Vocals Daniel Flores - Drums
  9. I think the Darkhorse album was magnificent.
  10. What a POS. Almost on the same level as Joke Biden and his party.
  11. New song 'Level Ground'. From Frontiers: Melodic Rock/AOR cult heroes Fortune are back with their third album entitled “Level Ground” via Frontiers Music Srl on April 8, 2022. The first single and video from the album, the title track, is out today. After the well-received reception to their 2019 come-back album "II", which broke a 34 year hiatus from releasing albums, and the 2020 live release "The Gun's Still Smokin'", the band's energy and creativity was ramped up for them to create another melodic rock gem to add to their crown. After being silent for decades, the first proper Fortune reunion happened in 2016 when the band performed at the Rockingham Music Festival that same year and then - thanks to the acclaim that followed that performance - in 2017 as well. Those appearances ultimately led to discussions with the Frontiers label about a new studio album, which became the highly praised "II" in 2019. The band traveled to Milan, Italy to perform at the Frontiers Rock Festival that year, the performance of which was released in 2020 as "The Gun's Still Smokin'". With enthusiasm and creativity running high in the Fortune camp, the guys set out to work on music for their next studio album, "Level Ground". The latest entry in the Fortune discography continues the band's fine tradition of delivering high quality Melodic Rock/AOR. The seeds of Fortune were planted by brothers Richard and Mick Fortune, who came from a family of professional musicians. Their mother was a singer and their father a singer and bassist. Richard started playing the guitar when he was 16 and went on to play guitar and tour with Buddy Miles, Booker T, and Spirit, while Mick started out as an accordion, keyboard, and trombone player before switching to drums. The brothers cut an album, "Fortune" for Warner Brothers in 1978, but by 1982 had totally revamped and restarted the group from scratch with a new key acquisition being the recruitment of Roger Scott Craig. A classically trained pianist from the age of 8, the Irish born keyboard player was known for a successful stint with the Scouse pop group Liverpool Express in the '70s. With a lineup rounded out by Larry 'L.A.' Greene, also of Top Gun soundtrack fame, on vocals, and Detroit studio and Elton John bassist Bob Birch, Fortune eventually released their self-titled debut album in 1985 to a warm reception, especially in Japan and Europe. Camel/MCA Records (the same label that had launched Night Ranger and Giuffria to stardom) released the debut and which is still highly regarded today by fans of the genre. For many fans, it is indeed considered one of the best, if not THE best AOR album of all-time. While this is of course very much open to debate, the reality is that Fortune’s album is one of those lost gems from yesteryear that has aged like fine wine as the years have passed. Tracklist: 1. Silence Of The Heart 2. Judgement Day 3. Dangerous Things 4. I Will Hold You Up 5. Riot In The Heartland 6. Orphaned In The Storm 7. I Should Have Known You'd Be Trouble 8. Hand In Hand 9. Level Ground 10. Lunacy Of Love LINE-UP: Richard Fortune, Lead guitar, vocals, additional keys Larry Greene – Lead vocals, guitar Mick Fortune – Drums Ricky Rat – Bass, vocals Bob Emmett – keyboards* *EXCEPT for “I Will Hold You Up” – Steve Porcaro – Piano & all keyboards www.facebook.com/fortunerockers

  13. Press release from Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to welcome legendary ’80s hard rockers Autograph to the roster. The band, featuring vocalist Simon Daniels, guitarist Jimi Bell, bassist Randy Rand, and drummer Marc Wieland, are currently working on material for a new studio album. ”Exciting news for AUTOGRAPH!! We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new studio album with Frontiers Music Srl. We are looking forward to introducing our newest collection of hard rock music across the globe. A very special thank you to Serafino, Mario, and the entire Frontiers Family.” – Autograph Autograph, whose hit ‘Turn Up The Radio’ was a staple of the hard rock soundtrack of the ’80s, disbanded in 1989, but in 2011, founding members bassist Randy Rand and guitarist Steve Lynch decided to meet up at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. They rekindled their friendship first before even thinking about a musical reunion. With their personal relationship rebuilt, they made a collective decision to play again. “We approached our original singer Steve Plunkett about a reunion,” recalls Rand. “He didn’t have the time to join the band again due to his busy schedule. He did give us his blessing to move forward though, and that was important. We missed our fans. This is for them.” Fully embracing the future, the remaining members begin a search for a new singer. They discovered some videos of singer/guitarist/songwriter Simon Daniels (of Jailhouse, Flood, 1RKO) on YouTube and instantly, they sensed a connection and knew that he was the right fit for the band. “He was perfect to front Autograph,” smiles Rand. ”His hard-edged, bluesy voice and massive riffing sharpen our edge. He’s given us a new energy, and he impressed us immediately. We all had a euphoric feeling after the first rehearsal,” Rand adds. Rand says that during his long-lived career, he has only loved playing with two drummers; one is the great late Randy Castillo, and then there is Autograph’s new drummer Marc Wieland. As Rand puts it, “We’re heavier than before. At the same time, the melodic vocals and catchy hooks are still an integral part of our sound.” In 2019, Lynch decided to leave the group to pursue different musical styles and was replaced by international monster shredder guitarist Jimi Bell (House of Lords, Maxx Explosion). The band hasn’t skipped a beat since and is ready to continue their rock n’ roll journey on their next studio album. Autograph, the platinum-selling Southern California hard rock band who gave the world the ubiquitous hit ‘Turn Up The Radio’, has released seminal albums such as ”Sign In Please” [1984], ”That’s The Stuff” [1985], and ”Loud and Clear” [1987]. Over the course of their career, they have played shows with everybody from Mötley Crüe and Ronnie James Dio to Van Halen and Aerosmith. Successfully touring again since the beginning of 2014, Autograph has strived and shined at arenas, casinos, major music festivals such as M3, Monsters of Rock Cruise, The Moondance Jam, 80’s in the Park, Grand Rock Tember, Cat Club Festival at Irvine Meadows, and Firefest UK, among others. In 2017, Autograph released a new album on ex-Megadeth member David Ellefson’s EMP Label Group, hitting # 21 on the Billboard Classic Rock Sales Chart, as well as placing two new singles on the top 10 Hard Rock Mediabase Radio Chart. www.autographband.com facebook

  19. Jimmy Dore have many great videos on his Youtube channel. I just watched his report on fact-checking. It is as we all know completely bullshit. Even Facebook admitted in a court case that their fact-checking is only political opinions (read left opinion). There isn't a thing call 'fact-checking'. They're all politiclal opinions benefiting the narrative. The vast majority of the 'fact-checkers' are funded by the big left-leaning establishment. I like most of his stuff.
  20. New video for 'Fire In The Sky'. I read somewhere that Classic Rock Magazine put the album (Prophecy) in their 'Top 5 AOR Albums of 2021' list.
  21. New video for 'Sail Away' feat. Göran Edman.
