My Best Metal Buddy Scott Coverdale bought me this fantastic Lita Ford Live & Deadly CD several years ago. He has gifted me some sensational vinyl, CDs and concert merch over the last couple of decades and yes, I have gratitude!

This CD was released via DEADLINE MUSIC (a division of Cleopatra Records) back in 2014 and has 13 of Lita’s songs performed live by her and band. It’s hand numbered 138/1000. As stated on the Cleopatra Records website: Recorded live at “one of Lita’s favorite watering holes” in 2000.”

This CD is still available everywhere online, you can find both the hand numbered version and a more recent version with an alternate Lita Ford photo on the front cover. You can also find Live & Deadly streaming on Spotify or other digital platforms.

Live & Deadly bestows a fabulous production of Lita performing live, with her vocals, guitar and band sounding amazing. This is a necessary listen and/or buy to own for all Lita Ford fans. Lita and her band jam without any fade-outs; plus the crowd cheering included gives this recording that added dose of live vibes! Metal be thy name – Stone.

Motörhead – Looking Back On Their “Thunder & Lightning” and “Electricity” CD Single From 2015

Posted in Hard Rock, hard rock bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on April 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Released back in 2015, this CD single from the iconic Motörhead includes the songs “Thunder & Lightning” and “Electricity”, both taken from their 23rd studio album Bad Magic.

Bad Magic and this CD single were both released via Motörhead Music / UDR. The Bad Magic studio album was released on August 28th, 2015. I bought this CD single at my nearest Best Buy back then. It was the only one they had left; therefore, I kept it sealed as a collectible for my personal collection. Plus I did buy the Bad Magic CD (earbook version) around the same time.

Pictured on this CD single cover is the late Lemmy Kilmister (center) with Mikkey Dee (left) and Phil Campbell (right). It’s too bad the large coupon sticker completely hides Phil Campbell. I decided long ago not to remove it, just to keep this sealed CD single as original as possible, regardless of the $2 rebate offer.

This is the only Motörhead CD single I own. I do have other CD singles from other metal bands that I plan on posting about in the future. Thank you for visiting and checking this out. Metal be thy name – Stone.

DIGIPAKS STINK LIKE MONKEY POOP. HERE’S WHY…

Below you will find the Top 10 Reasons Why Digipaks Stink Like Monkey Poop. Enjoy.

______________________________

  • Digipaks crease, ding and tear VERY EASILY, even with delicate handling.
  • Even before you buy the damn digipak version off the retail shelf, it’s already dinged, creased or torn. That’s bullshit.
  • Guess what happens while taking the plastic wrap off of a digipak? You ding it. That’s insane bullshit.
  • It takes patience and skill to get the damn CD and liner notes out of the digipak sleeve. After doing so, the cardboard sleeve is dinged from your fingernails; not to mention the liner notes took a nasty beating too.
  • Digipaks get CRUSHED when stacked underneath a pile of CD jewel cases. Hell, a couple of magazines can crush a digipak. Again, that’s bullshit.

This is NO laughing matter!!!

  • A digipak has NO defense against any liquid. At least a CD jewel case has a freaking fighting chance in protecting the liner notes and CD itself. Trust me, I know ALL about that one.
  • If you wanted to bury your digipak in the ground, for safekeeping, the life expectancy of the cardboard is 4 weeks. That’s intense bullshit.
  • A damaged CD jewel case can be easily replaced. A damaged digipak stalks your music collection, like the uninvited pain-in-the-ass that nobody gives a shit about. Do not get alarmed, for the respective CD and liner notes will always find themselves a new home inside a spare and cozy… jewel case.
  • Just opening and closing a digipak automatically CREASES the spine; not to mention leaving visible fingerprints all over the cardboard. That is unreal bullshit.
  • Purchasing a used CD as a digipak version is never a fun moment. The digipak 99.9% of the time is so freaking mishandled, dinged and worn; not to mention the disease ridden bacteria that has probably been absorbed by the cardboard itself. Yay. Um, bullshit.

Stone’s Relocation Files: Part Three – My CD Collection Is A Mess!

CD Stack - 2013 - Stone's Relocation Files

Okay, so there are worse things in life to worry about. I know that. I am thankful my family and I are all alive and healthy after our big relocation to Ohio; via Pennsylvania. Still, I am floored by how messed up my CD collection has become, since the unpacking commenced! I, like so many of my fellow Metal brethren, have always strived for some sort of “system” to the way I group my CD collection. I’m far from being a perfectionist, however, I’ve come close to it, when it comes to my CD organization skills.

Part of my CD collection used to be in alphabetical order. Other parts of my CD collection used to be divided up into bands and genres. Now my CD’s are just divided up into a where is it? collection! You see, I was told not to pack my CD’s by the moving company; they were hired to do all the packing of all our possessions for us. I should have packed my own CD’s. Glory be to the Metal Gods, I should have!

Eventually, I’ll have my “systems” all back into place and my CD collection will be back to normal. For now, I’ll just get by with having my Hatebreed and Electric Light Orchestra CD’s next to each other. I’ll ignore that my Venom CD’s are on top of my Santana CD’s too. I’m certain that these CD’s will all get along with each other; unless the Venom CD’s have something to say about it! Metal be thy name.
