Light years from the brilliance of the Steve Lee years. Just an average song.

Hena's had a lot of health issues the past few years. Alex Motta did the drums on the new album.

The titular frontman first revealed the album’s title on his Runaway to Paradise Mediterranean cruise back in August, and in a fresh interview with Extra, he has now spoken about it further. Despite the connotations of the title linking it to the 2020 Presidential campaign, staunch Democrat Jon Bon Jovi insists “it’s not political.” “The album is called ‘2020,’” Bon Jovi explained. “It’s a real statement record… It’s not political, but it’s very socially conscious, you know, just awareness of so many things going on in the world right now… whether it is the environment or politics, it’s the wider array of things that need our attention right now. “The Amazon is burning and the hurricanes are flooding and people need to bond together. We're all in this together at the end of the day.” Jon Bon Jovi first revealed Bon Jovi had commenced work on the follow-up to 2016’s ‘This House Is Not for Sale’ back in March when he posted two videos on Instagram from the studio. The two 15-second Instagram stories, which expired after 24 hours, depicted the singer together with keyboardist David Bryan, guitarist Phil X, drummer Tico Torres and bassist Hugh McDonald at Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. ‘This House Is Not for Sale’ was the first Bon Jovi album to feature new lead guitarist Phil X following the departure of Richie Sambora in 2013. The subsequent multi-year This House Is Not For Sale Tour included stadium shows in Liverpool, London and Coventry back in June. One of the best-selling bands of all time, Bon Jovi have shifted more than 130 million records worldwide since the release of their eponymous debut in 1984.

Another in my series of forgotten or overlooked albums. After the demise of hair metal in 1992/1993, grunge had destroyed the rest of the 90's. When out of nowhere, I heard a sample of a Seattle band. But they weren't grunge. They were ass kicking rock and roll. Could not wait to hear this album and I was not disappointed!! What a killer fucking record. Everyone must own this!! My favorites:

Fucking terrible.

Lazy fucks!

Here's what it says via FB: It’s out (again)! McQueen Street: the Radio Edit is soon to be here on all of the major streaming services. Stay on the lookout for it and another NEW McQueen Street single. #mcqueenstreet #rockandroll #hardrock #myreligion #radioedit #oldbutnew #newsinglecomingsoon

Still a kickass tune.

from the interwebs: To be released next Jan 17 under the title “The Serpent Rings“, MAGNUM have recorded eleven new songs which feature all the traditional strengths of the British act and also live up to the band’s ambition to explore a more rocking direction. “Thanks to our current record company, we enjoy full artistic freedom”, guitarist Tony Clarkin enthuses. “SPV understand how important this is to us”. Clarkin is a man who seems to never stop working. He is responsible for writing all the material released by the band, and on top of that he produces their albums from the very first demo to the final mix. “As soon as the album is finished, I start to collect new ideas,” he explains. “That’s how I’ve worked since the early seventies, for me that’s the ideal method.” On their latest album, “The Serpent Rings”, Clarkin and MAGNUM’s other original member, vocalist Bob Catley, prove all over again just how perfectly this established system works. From the opening bars of opener ‘Where Are You Eden?’ you can tell Clarkin is particularly inspired as Magnum -his baby since the early 70’s- see in the new decade. It’s a solid opener, lushly orchestrated and as well as sounding a little heavier than recent offerings, also has a lushness that glides over the refrain. ‘You Can’t Run Faster Than Bullets’ which follows retains that rocking delivery and takes the mood down with a hypnotic verse and soaring chorus 21 albums into their career, and certainly these first couple of tracks it’s my favourite opening-duo from Magnum this century. ‘Madman or Messiah’ is the perfect mid-tempo melodic rocker and cements the harder sound as it pushes melodically, driven by Catley’s inimitable vocals and Clarkin’s guitars, it’s perfect Magnum and the sort of sound that no one does as well as these guys over the years. As well as songs like that, that talk about the cult of personality and self proclaimed messiahs, there are also contemplations on ecology like ‘Man’ which contemplates what we are doing to the planet in the name of short-term greed. It wouldn’t be Magnum though without the fantasy element, as Clarkin states – “The Serpent Rings also presents Magnum from their dreamy, magical side, the title song being a perfect example – and a direct reflection of the amazing cover artwork courtesy of Rodney Matthews. Clarkin: “‘The Serpent Rings’ started out as a science fiction story but continued to evolve over time and even features a slightly bizarre side today. I’d describe the song as an eerie and somewhat creepy fairy tale.” The new album also features a line-up change with bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic) joining Clarkin, Catley, keyboardist Rick Benton and drummer Lee Morris, to replace Al Barrow for the album and the extensive UK Tour and European dates with Gotthard that follow. Getting back to the album ‘The Archway of Tears’ takes you right back to those sweeping epics that Magnum has excelled at over the years and has some simply wonderful guitar in Clarkin’s most inspired solo here; whilst ‘Not Forgiven’ is a nice stomping rocker with a great breakdown, before the epic title track sweeps in on the back of a gathering storm and some atmospheric keys and just underlines the unerring quality here. ‘House of Kings’ has a great swing that is inescapable and makes you wonder what Catley would sound like singing the Blues as he blusters through the verses and for all its simplicity its amongst my favorites here and I love that crescendo of horns at the close. ‘The Great Unknown’ is the closest we get to a ballad here and its the sort of song to get lost in. ‘Man’ as we mentioned is a contemplation of capitalist greed at the price of our future and whilst I know Tony never gets political its a subject we all should be concerned about, and eloquently explored here. The album closes out on as much of a high as it started out: ‘The Last One on Earth’ is the shortest song here but is packed with melody and swelling with emotion. The last word comes with ‘Crimson on the White Sand’, I’m always intrigued with how Tony closes and album and this time he chose to do so with what at first sounds like a contemplative ballad but the song quickly soars away in classic Magnum tradition.Magnum are at their very best striking out into the 2020’s – melodic, powerful, wonderfully embellished and all a little harder than in recent times which just gives the compositions all that crisper an edge. This is Magnum at their finest and an absolute must. It might be far too soon to call contenders for album of the year, but I know this will be in that mix… 01 – Where Are You Eden 02 – You Can’t Run Faster Than Bullet 03 – Madman Or Messiah 04 – The Archway Of Tears 05 – Not Forgiven 06 – The Serpent Rings 07 – The Last One On Earth 08 – House Of Kings 09 – The Great Unknown 10 – Man 11 – Crimson On The White Sand Bob Catley – vocals Tony Clarkin – guitar Rick Benton – keyboards Dennis Ward – bass Lee Morris – drums PRE ORDER www.amazon.co.uk/Serpent-Rings-Magnum/dp/B07Z74SF5C

This band always delivers. I have no doubt in my mind this will be just as good if not better than United. What a band!!

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Wow. That's fantastic!!!! I love it!!! Superb!!

That would be me. Like here..... on HH if I post a link through Firefox, it doesn't embed. On Chrome, it embeds most of the time but can be stubborn once in awhile. Opera posted the link fine for the first attempt. Thanks for your replies!

I am having issues with all of them. Ugh I used Mozilla Firefox for years. Loved it so much more than Internet Explorer. But somewhere down the line, it seemed to be slow as fuck. So I switched over to Google Chrome. Chrome was awesome speed-wise but wasn't as good at customization. Now it seems like pages aren't displaying correctly on either one. Things that display fine on Chrome won't display on Firefox or vie versa. Some things won't load on either. And yes, I've cleared cache and uninstalled and re-installed. Nothing helps. I just downloaded Opera. Not sure if I like it yet or not. What do you guys use?

I was under the impression they remixed them and were re-releasing them.

Published: 20 December 2019 SHAKRA - new album "Mad World" coming in February 2020! NEW ALBUM + 25 YEARS ANNIVERSARY! For a quarter of a century SHAKRA has been part of the music circus. Only someone who's been in a band before, knows how fragile und exhausting this kind of social fabric is. 25 years is a very long time and only a few acts can make this distance. SHAKRA made it and it doesn't look like they'll give up sometime soon. Quite the contrary! Guitarist, Thom Blunier, points out: "I'm extremely proud and thankful, that this band is stil existing after 25 years of Rock'n'Roll. Those of you who have a clue the difficulties of extisting as a band know, how precious and exceptional this is. I am ready for the next 25 years!" The band has experienced several highs and lows together, survived turbulences and they also kept their eyes dead on target. This is also reflected in their multiple and regular chart entries in Germany (e.g. #53, #69, #72 and more) and of course in Switzerland (e.g. #1, 2x #2, #3, #4, #7 and so on) in all those years. Their 25th anniversary is approaching in 2020 - and the quintet is ready to celebrate with their fans, in proper style with hard, catchy and energetic rock music. There also will be new music for the jubilee - that goes without saying. Eleven new real crackers in typical SHAKRA manner as well as a heartbreaking ballad are going to be the new album "Mad World". This world is mad indeed. Things that used to be good yesterday, have become bad today, things that held a certain value yesterdays, have become worthless today. Not only the music business but the entire world experiences chaotic times. So much the better, SHAKRA won't be mislead and staunchly keep on doing what they do best: Writing songs that stick to you mind and just are made for the stage! Therefore they'll play a lot of concerts and festivals in 2020. SHAKRA don't need to prove themselves with "Mad World". No, they play music with obvious passion. Here's to another 25 years! "Mad World" will be released on February 28th 2020. .
