On This Day In METAL History – December 7th…

On December 7th, 1969 – The iconic Led Zeppelin have a hit on the Top Forty of Billboards Hot 100 Singles Chart, with Whole Lotta Love and it eventually reaches #4. This would be Led Zeppelin’s first hit single in the United States. Whole Lotta Love is featured on Led Zeppelin’s second studio album: Led Zeppelin II.

On this day in 1976 – Boston performs at the Hara Arena, in Dayton, Ohio. Whoa!

On December 7th, 1984 – Agent Provocateur, the fifth studio album from Foreigner, was released. This album went on to reach #4 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, selling three million copies (plus) in the United States.

On this day in 1985 – Heart hits #4 with Never. This song is featured on Heart’s eighth studio album: Heart. Whoa, again!

On December 7th, 1985 – RUSH performed live at the New Haven Coliseum, in New Haven, Connecticut. Long live RUSH.

On this day in 1990 – The Fantasy/Drama/Dark Comedy film Edward Scissorhands was released to theaters on the wide-screen. Starring the legendary Johnny Depp and directed by the great Tim Burton, the star-studded cast included: Winona Ryder, Vincent Price, Kathy Baker, Alan Arkin, Dianne Wiest and Anthony Michael Hall. This movie is, without a doubt Metal. Rest in peace, Vincent Price.

On December 7th, 1993 – Guns N’ Roses announced that their cover of Charles Manson’s Look at Your Game, Girl will remain on their covers album The Spaghetti Incident?, despite protests. It was also announced that royalties will go to the son of a Manson family victim. In my honest Metal opinion, this song (if you can call it that) super sucks so incredibly bad that it stinks of putrid donkey poop. Did I mention this song is lousy?

On this day in 2012 – The mighty Motörhead perform live at Bernexpo Halle 4, in Berne, Switzerland for the Metal Christmas Festival. This was a date on Motörhead’s The Wörld is Yours Tour. Long live Motörhead.

THRONE OF VENGEANCE – Need Help To Find Their Stolen Trailer

Posted in Metal, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal with tags Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey, rock music news, Thrash Metal, throne of vengeance on December 4, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Some pretty bad news to come out of the Throne of Vengeance camp with the band’s trailer stolen from their storage unit just east of Calgary, AB last week.

Please share the following pic below of the trailer/RV storage and keep your eyes peeled and call the police if spotted.

Description: The trailer has TOV lettering spray painted in red on the passenger side, a chrome checker plate splash guard on the front, a white roof vent, and an interstate shield decal on both sides at the rear. License plate #4DC181.

Throne Of Vengeance – Hands Tied (Live At The Ship & Anchor Pub)

About TOV: Bridging the gap between metal and rock with help from dual guitar harmonies, pounding drum lines and wide-ranging vocal harmonies, Calgary’s Throne of Vengeance released their EP ‘Live Evil’ on October 19, 2013 that echoes the band’s signature thrash-tinged rock.

“‘Live Evil’ is “a collection of songs based on our experiences in the last two years, covering everything from a close friend’s imprisonment for a victim-less crime to the realization of humanity’s demise to the contrast between good and evil and life and death,” says drummer Trevor Cobb.

“If there’s anything we would like people to take away from the record, it’s that you should be your own person, do what makes you happy, be aware of your world and be real. We have the power to control our own destiny. Together, we are more powerful than any world leader.”

Having shared the stage with numerous legends over the years, including Kill Devil Hill, 3 Inches Of Blood and Stephen Pearcy of RATT, Throne of Vengeance is ready to take things to a whole new level with Live Evil. Are you ready for a major ‘bangover’?

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, cream, cream vinyl box set, metal odyssey, Psychedelic Rock, rock music news on December 4, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Universal Music Enterprises is proud to present Cream: 1966 1972, which brings together this epic band’s six, career-spanning studio and live albums together in a vinyl box set for the very first time. Each LP retains authenticity with original artwork and will be pressed on 180 gram, heavyweight audiophile vinyl. All are housed in a structured slipcase box.

This British rock supergroup was formed in 1966 and their sound was characterized by a hybrid of blues rock, hard rock and burgeoning psychedelic rock as performed by Eric Clapton’s innovative blues guitar, Jack Bruce’s operatic voice and fluid bass playing, and Ginger Baker’s jazz-influenced drumming. Cream soon evolved further, creating a trademark approach built around each musician’s virtuoso playing. The band’s imaginative lyrics were often written by poet Pete Brown.

On This Day In METAL History – December 3rd…

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, metal history, metal odyssey, this day in metal, this day in rock on December 3, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

On December 3rd, 1978 – Aerosmith performed a concert at the Springfield Civic Center, in Springfield, Massachusetts. 1978 was a year where Aerosmith were touring between two studio albums: 1977’s Draw The Line and 1979’s Night In The Ruts.

On this day in 1979 – Eleven fans of The Who were trampled to death during a stampede, to claim general admission seats for the band’s concert at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati. The Who were touring in support of their 1978 studio album: Who Are You. May these eleven fans of The Who rest in peace.

On December 3rd, 1980 – KISS performed their last concert with co-founding member/original guitarist Ace Frehley at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand. “Space Ace” reunited with KISS once again for their 1996 reunion tour.

On this day in 2002 – Guns ‘N Roses performed a concert at the Hartford Civic Center, in Hartford, Connecticut. Whoa!

On December 3rd, 2010 – The Warrior’s Way is released on wide-screen. This Action/Fantasy/Western film stars: Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush, Danny Huston, Tony Cox and Jang Dong-gun. The Warriors Way was written and directed by Sngmoo Lee.

OZZY OSBOURNE

On December 3rd, 1948, Ozzy Osbourne was born. Happy Metal Birthday, Ozzy! Hell, whoa! Ozzy Osbourne (in case you didn’t know) is a co-founding member, vocalist and songwriter for the iconic Black Sabbath. Ozzy’s solo career is stuff of legend as well, with eleven studio albums to his credit; that’s more studio albums than Black Sabbath has recorded with Ozzy as vocalist (which is eight).

The original Black Sabbath lineup of Ozzy, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006.

Above photo: The DVD cover for the documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, released in 2011 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. This documentary was produced by Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne.

Before Ozzy Osbourne went solo with his name alone, his band was originally named: Blizzard Of Ozz. This formidable lineup that Ozzy assembled all played on his debut solo album, which was aptly titled: Blizzard Of Ozz. The legendary lineup included: Ozzy, Randy Rhoads on guitar, Bob Daisley on bass and Lee Kerslake on drums and Don Airey on keyboards. Rest in peace, Randy Rhoads.

A ton can be said about the longevity, milestones and success of Ozzy Osbourne. Two things that can never be disputed are Ozzy’s dedication to Heavy Metal and being a tried and true ambassador for the genre, spanning five decades. Metal be thy name and long live Ozzy Osbourne!

Above is the front cover for the newly released: Ozzy Osbourne – Memoirs Of A Madman. This greatest hits package includes seventeen songs which span Ozzy’s illustrious solo career. This album was released on October 14th, 2014, via Legacy.

JEFF BECK Announces 2015 Solo Tour Dates; New Studio Album in the Works

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Music, music news, rock guitarists, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, jeff beck, metal odyssey, Rock, rock music news, zz top on December 1, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Rescheduled ZZ Top Dates Also Confirmed

(Los Angeles) It was announced today, Jeff Beck will headline a string of solo dates, beginning April 16^th with a pair of intimate engagements in Huntington, New York before wrapping up on April 26^th in Greensburg, PA. Beginning April 30^th in Cedar Park, TX, Beck and ZZ Top will make-up the rescheduled dates from this past September when the hugely successful double-bill tour was cut short due to an unfortunate injury to ZZ Top bassist, Dusty Hill.

“We’re so glad that Dusty made a full recovery and now, we are looking forward to getting back out there and finish what we started,” stated Beck.

Beck’s career took off in the mid-1960s, after replacing Eric Clapton as lead guitarist for The Yardbirds on the recommendation of his friend Jimmy Page. He played on several of the rock group’s hits, such as “Heart Full of Soul,” “Shapes of Things” and “Over Under Sideways Down.” Over the years, Beck has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Roger Waters, Les Paul, Jon Bon Jovi, Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancock and Joss Stone among many others.

Beck has twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once with The Yardbirds in 1992 and once as a solo artist in 2009. He has won numerous Grammy Awards, including two at the 2011 Grammy Award Celebration when he won Best Rock Instrumental Performance for “Hammerhead” and Best Pop Instrumental performance for “Nessun Dorma”, both from his last studio album, Emotion & Commotion.

Recently, in London, Beck participated in The Poppy Appeal song “No Man’s Land”, a tribute to the men and women that served in World War I, resulting in 4 performances, culminating in the NFL pre-game entertainment that was broadcast from Wembley Stadium. The song featured singer Joss Stone on vocals and a gospel choir with vocals arranged by Antonia Wilson. In the meantime, a DVD of Beck’s Tokyo concert from April of this year was released on November 25th. For Beck, 2015 looks to be a banner year. In addition to both solo and co-headlining dates with ZZ Top, Beck will complete work on his new studio album, expected next year.

Joining Beck on both the solo and double-bill tour are his band – Jimmy Hall on Vocals, Rhonda Smith on bass, Jonathan Joseph on drums and Nicolas Meier on guitar.

On December 1st, 1989 – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is released to wide-screen theaters.

John Densmore is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who is most famously known as a co-founding member and drummer for The Doors. Legends anyone? The Doors were inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, back in 1993. ‘Nuff said.
