Some Metal and Rock ‘N Roll Thoughts – Sunday, April 29th, 2012

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal news, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on April 29, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

The legendary Lita Ford is returning once again with another “new” studio album. Living Like A Runaway will be released in North America on June 19th, 2012, via SPV/Steamhammer. Let’s all hope it’s not anywhere near like her last (2009) studio album: Wicked Wonderland. Ouch.

I haven’t gone looking for or heard any samples of Lita’s new album. The album cover alone definitely gives me a positive Rockin’ impression. There’s something mysteriously cool about railroad tracks on an album cover. The “highway theme” on album covers has been done far too often over the years. Railroad tracks, well, they… Rock.

From what I’ve gathered, the 2 – CD Live & Inspired from Godsmack will be released on May 15th, 2012, via Universal Republic. I dig Godsmack. Their last album, The Oracle, kicked my ass.

There was this moment I vividly recall; I was traveling by mule through the far reaches of the Northern Connecticut woods, when I was confronted by an elder and very wise Metalhead troll. My journey was abruptly stopped so he could tell me: “Stone, you just cannot deny the heavy music of them Godsmack dudes.”

Well, that’s it. Those are my Metal and Rock ‘N Roll thoughts for Sunday, April 29th, 2012. Not many, still, a couple of ’em for you to ponder and comment about. Metal be thy name.
