Wishful thinking, I doubt Motley can get another act DL's size/popularity. They will probably have to set up a Crue fest like they did in the past with 2 other bands, and play sheds in the summer...

It's hard to believe we live in an age where someone can take modern day Metallica tracks and give it the Black Album (or Justice) treatment both in mix and 1991 James Hetfield vocals. I've been checking some of these out on Youtube and I have to say I'm impressed.
Not that I think Leppard tracks need this level of treatment (I didn't believe Metallica songs needed this either), however I am patiently waiting for someone to do this for modern day Leppard songs with Hysteria mix and '87 Joe Elliott vocals. Would be a fun listen!

The Metallica remixes of And Justice are fantastic. Superb the band have allowed them to stay on YouTube. Have bass!

Nicko McBrain has confirmed he had a stroke earlier this year. I and many other fans noticed how some of the drum parts had been simplified a touch on this latest tour. What a bloke, a real trooper.

A good news story about Taylor Swift. She has paid $55 million in bonuses to people who worked on the US tour she is just completing. $100,000 each to truck drivers. Well done Ms Swift.
With 15 extra dates having been added yesterday, think it is now possible Taylor's tour could gross $1.5 billion. That isn't counting merchandise which her fans snap up, saw a video this morning of 3,000 people queueing for merchandise outside Sofi stadium, imagine if people wait that long they will drop serious amounts of cash.

The band SMALLPOOLS is a very good alt-rock act that I've been listening to for the past 10 years. They just covered DEF LEPPARD!
I love this:

Hope Stones lead off single is a cracker.
Foreigner due to announce "major tour", would they be third band on mega Lepps summer tour 2024 in North America. Or co headlining with Styx?

I really hope this isn’t part of a Lep tour. It’s really early to be taking about 2024 yet Hope Stones lead off single is a cracker. Foreigner due to announce "major tour", would they be third band on mega Lepps summer tour 2024 in North America. Or co headlining with Styx?

I just stumbled across this on YouTube. This is great sounding cover of Rock of Ages.
I see they've done Animal, Hysteria and PSSOM but I don't have time to check those out until later.

Just read that Thunder are re-issuing more of their back catalogue. The Thrill of it All, Giving the Game Away and Shooting at the Sun are out on vinyl and CD. I don't think some of these have been issued on vinyl before. Can't wait to get them. Pre-order Link Here

New Bruce Dickinson album confirmed for early 2024, dates for North America and Europe expected for May through July. Given British Lion touring early 2024 probably not a lot of Maiden new material or gigs next year.

Well done to The Darkness on I Believe in a Thing Called Love being certified Platinum in US, 1 million sales. Song accounts for 2/3 of their daily streams.
In UK last week Cheap Trick and Nickelback had songs certified Silver for 200000 sales.
Surely Animal has reached Silver in Uk as reached number 6, and Gold in US where it was Top 10.
ACDC Powertrip Saturday evening US time, hope it goes well. Hope some Livestream somewhere.

Fantastic set list from ACDC at Powertrip. Response seems to be positive, bodes well for 2024 your. If they do 2 gigs a week could do 50 mainly stadium shows around the world. In Europe imagine tickets be snapped up super fast.

From what i saw online, Brian Johnsons voice is failing terribly, just listen to Shook me all night long, Im not suprised the songs are so high, but I am wondering if they shouldn't perhaps tune everything down a full step,

Yeah, bit rough but under all the circumstances, I have no trouble granting him a pass. For me, I'd just consider myself lucky to even see these guys live at this point. I mean, Brian's 76 and many thought he may never perform again. I do agree they probably should tune it down a bit though. Either way, if these guys play more shows next year and it's within shooting distance of me, I'd be attending as I've never caught these guys live and would love to before they pack it in and call it a day.

Watching Jeremy White interview Andy Summers of The Police. When asked about Hysteria and possible similarities to Every Breath You Take, Summers says never heard Hysteria, has to be reminded about its title.
ACDC rumours picking up about a tour. Would not be surprised if Lepps special guests on couple of those shows maybe South America.
Bruce Dickinson European dates appearing now June July 2024, hope one works for me.

I also just saw REO Speedwagon and Rick Springfield announce theirs. They seem to get announced earlier and earlier. It’s gotta be about securing money asap.

Yeah and I think part of it too it that I think they're figuring out stuff is getting expensive and people are getting a bit more selective with what they attend. I mean, if I commit $500 to attending one band's show, I'm probably going to be more selective on buying more tickets to additional shows/events that come about unless I really, really want to see it. Early bird gets the worm so to speak. It used to be annoying when stuff was announced early but these days it's just good business IMO.

Download announcement next week will it be ACDC?
Congrats Taylor Swift, 1989 reissue may have just pipped Midnights in US with first week sales just under 1.6 million, majority physical. Slay Tay!
Congrats Nightwish 2007 album Dark Passion Play certified Silver in UK yesterday sales of 60000.
Other UK certs yesterday for songs released decades ago include Lenny Kravitz, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana.
Recertify!
