Motley Crue 35th Anniversary 'Dr. Feelgood' Set Announced

Coming out November 22, Motley Crue will release a special 35th anniversary Dr. Feelgood box set. The vinyl set is $200 and available for pre-order on Amazon and other websites. The set includes:

Limited Edition green/black 3 LP boxset remastered version of the original album, as well as rare demos and live tracks. Also featured is a 24-page replica tour book with never-before-seen and previously unpublished live and behind-the-scenes photos, a replica Dr. Feelgood Tour itinerary, poster, patch, backstage pass, live show handbill, press kit, medical envelope and guitar pick.

I have to say, I don't need to spend $200 on this but I know a lot of folks will. The package does look cool, but that's a lot of money for a package that was also a special release five years ago. The 30th anniversary set includes things like a medical bag and playing cards. I don't think the vinyl was remastered then (not sure why exactly), so that is the argument to get the new 35th edition set I guess.

David Gilmour, 'Luck and Strange' Out Now

This is not a drill! David Gilmour's new release Luck and Strange is out now. I can't wait for work to be over today so I can give the album a proper listen. I'm getting excited about the show in a couple months too! I will never see Pink Floyd live, but David's show will be a close substitute!

New Richie Kotzen Music Out Today!

Guitarist Richie Kotzen is back with a video for his song “Insomnia.” The track is on his upcoming release Nomad due later this month. He’s also going on tour across the USA. 

I never expected to see Richie in his jammies, in a music video or otherwise, but here we are. “Insomnia” is a great track – very throwback to some of Kotzen’s earlier efforts. Love the heavy guitar riff in the opening and the growly voice and then those soaring high notes! So good. There's a reason this guy is one of my all time faves. 

Nomad is available on CD and vinyl.

Brian May Recovering From Small Stroke

Well, this is upsetting. Queen guitarist Brian May announced earlier today that he is recovering from a "small" stroke. He wasn't able to use his left arm after the incident last week but apparently things are better for him now.

“The good news is that I can play guitar,” May says in the video below. He called the stroke a "health hiccup" and notes that he is resting now. He isn't allowed to drive or fly or do anything strenuous. I wish him a full recovery!

I Went To A Show In Moline Once

Heather and I went to a concert in Moline a few years ago. It was actually Motley Crue, Hinder and Theory of a Deadman. We were on the floor and pretty close to the stage. I remember standing for all of Hinder's set and Heather being proud of me for that.

Seeing Mike Tramp's post below made me howl - and instantly reminded me of some Moline memories. Good times.

It's Giving AC/DC Meets Skid Row

Swedish rock band Crazy Lixx are back with new music. Their song "Call of the Wild" is out today and sounds like a cross of old AC/DC and Sebastian Bach-era Skid Row. I'm dead serious in that comparison and I mean it in the best way possible. This is gritty glam with some gang chorus-type fun.

Crazy Lixx are keeping rock alive, and thank glam for that!

Full Clip: "I Wanna Be Your Bitch"

As promised, the full clip of the new Dead Daisies track "I Wanna To Be Your Bitch" is now available. John Corabi was made for these songs! I just finished reading John's autobiography, too. What an absolute trip. A review is forthcoming.
