Once Bitten To Honor Late Singer Jack Russell

Previously known as Jack Russell's Great White, the remaining members of the band are now known as Once Bitten. The band will hold a memorial concert for Jack Russell at the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles this January.

Proceeds from the show will go toward Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) and Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA) causes. Russell died August 7 from LBD.

Information on tickets is coming soon but I think this is a nice idea. I am sure the show will be packed.

'You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll'

For whatever reason, the original video for Twisted Sister's song "You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll" wasn't available on the band's official YouTube channel... until now.

The song is from the 1983 album of the same name and it is also my favorite Twisted Sister release. Just raw and outrageous rock.

Don't Forget To Vote! Alice Needs You

It's election day in America. You've probably heard a thing or two about this mentioned on the news lately. (But seriously. Why do American campaigns have to last two freaking years? It's ridiculous).

Alice Cooper and his wife call Arizona home and the state is knife-edge close if the polls are accurate. Do you think Alice Cooper has what it takes to pull off the win?

'Cry Little Sister' - A Widely Covered Banger!

Is "Cry Little Sister" the most covered rock song of all time or what?

I was listening to an excellent Halloween-themed Metal show on the Sirius XM app and the Season's After cover of "Cry Little Sister" was included in the show. And holy cow I forgot how much I loved their version of the track. The song is from The Lost Boys soundtrack and originally recorded by Gerard McMahon.

I remember getting the Seasons After debut album Through Tomorrow when it came out in 2008. After Sirius played the track I immediately added it to my running playlist. For those curious, the band doesn't exist anymore.

Lyric Noel - this is a new artist I discovered while looking up clips of "Cry Little Sister." Her cover version came out just a couple weeks ago.

Marilyn Manson covered the song too... It really is a goth staple.

Vampires Everywhere! gave in and did a cover of "Cry Little Sister," too:

You know who else covered the track? Our beloved L.A. Guns!

And of course... the original:

Sebastian Bach, 'Future of Youth' -- New Video

Sebastian Bach is back with a video for his song "Future of Youth" from his new album Child Within The Man. The song features Orianthi on guitar and she's in the video, too!

What's not to love here? There's Bach swinging his mic and banging his head in just that way he does. There's Orianthi rocking out with her hair flat-ironed and perfectly in place plus there's a youth choir that gives a new element to this modern rock track.

Child Within The Man really is a strong album - one of the best of the year.

We're Getting More Than 40 Poison Shows In 2026

Poison drummer Rikki Rockett was on Eddie Trunk's radio show Halloween night. During the interview, Rockett promised at least 40 live Poison shows in 2026.

Why 2026? Because that is the 40th anniversary of Poison's debut Look What The Cat Dragged In.I hope Poison is the headliner on a package tour, but who knows how it will all go down. I just know I'm excited. Shut up and take my money!
