Say "I Do" with a Dose of Hair Metal/Hard Rock Flair!

Turn back the clock, because this is a wedding song that brings you straight back to the days of late 80’s mainstream arena rock. Can you say - “Holy AquaNet?” With its big and bold chorus, “When I Look In Your Eyes” is a huge ballad that’s easy to picture in heavy rotation during the heyday of MTV, or as hit single on the Top 40 radio airwaves of yesterday – right along side the Warrants, Poisons and Wingers of the day. Written by Tom Flaherty (the guitar player in Sweet Cheater), this was actually the song that he and his wife had their first dance to. A wedding song that is definitely a lot of fun, “When I Look In Your Eyes” also shows that a good song is a good song - regardless of the genre.

According to Tom, “When I Look In Your Eyes” will be available on the next Sweet Cheater album. The song is currently streaming on the band’s MySpace page as well.

Enuff Z'Nuff is back baby!

Enuff Z'Nuff returns to the spotlight with a strong set of songs under their belts. This is easily the best collection of tunes in a long time. Although labeled as the next Enuff Z'Nuff album "Lost In Vegas," both the track listing and title have changed. This is just a cool group of songs that has been circulating. The new album "Dissonance" will be released soon, and feature Jake E Lee on guitar.

Country? Bon Jovi still comes through (like it or not)....

Countryfied or not, Bon Jovi's Lost Highway is still the best rock albums of the year. If not, then damn close.

Let's see what the rest of the world is saying. This is from across the pond. Thanks to monstersandcritics.com.

While it doesn’t rock as hard as the band’s glory days in the 80s, Bon Jovi’s new studio album ‘Lost Highway’ still manages to be an entertaining listen and on par with the direction the band has been headed with other recent releases.

"Hello, Montana!" Poison is back in town...

You really can tell that summer is here, because love 'em or hate 'em, Poison is back on the road. It looks like the middle of bumf*ck nowehere loves them (sorry Montana).

The Great Fall Tribune really seems to love them. As Eddie Van Halen says in The History of Rock n Roll - "things change, but rock never dies."

Sorry, that was a paraphrase, but I am sure that you know what I mean.
