SOAD - Mr. Jack - Live In London 06-03-05

We've had this song on rock'o'the day before, but here it is again just because it's so goddam good. A different live version this time, and uncensored. Perhaps the sound quality is not so good as last time, but it's still electrifying, and at least for me, since the first time I first heard it in 2004, still timeless.

Rock Music Boosts Your Brain Power

2006-09-08T04:56:00.000-07:00

This just in: scientists have just found startling new evidence that rock music boosts brain power in rock fans, in a similar way to the way classical music apparently does for very young children (also known as "the Mozart effect", and/or most people even.

Obviously, if you're looking to boost your memory capacity, concentration and cognitive ability, you might do well to enjoy this rock blog every day.

Thanks for the link, Porksurfer[R]!

Primus - Devil Went Down to Georgia

2006-09-07T01:02:00.000-07:00

Classy cover of a another classic. Yeehar!

System of a Down - Question!

Blue Oyster Cult - Joan Crawford

2006-08-30T13:07:00.000-07:00

An 80's style, fairly cheesy video for a bizarre but likeable BÖC song. What the hell, it's more than just likeable. For some strange reason (possibly the piano intro?), this is one of my favorite BÖC songs of all time. Stand by for more BÖC videos, if I can only hunt them down.

Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock

2006-08-24T04:20:00.000-07:00

Featuring Douglas C. "killed in Vietnam by his own troops" Niedermeyer.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird [Live]

2006-08-16T12:31:00.000-07:00


And yet more Skynyrd! This is one of the ultimate rock anthems, not only of my youth, but of all time, past, present and future.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps

2006-08-15T05:24:00.000-07:00

Hocus Pocus by Focus

2006-08-09T15:44:00.000-07:00

Speaking of yodelling, this classic takes us back to the 1973.

That's going back in time, big-time. Mmmm ... the 70's ... a lot like the 60's, but less innocent.

Slash Plays The Godfather Theme

2006-06-21T14:51:00.000-07:00

David Lee Roth and Co. - "Jump" in a bluegreass stylee, on the Tonight Show

2006-06-14T04:39:00.000-07:00

For a second there, I wasn't sure whether this should in fact go on "Comedy of the Day", but only for a second. In fact, this is as great a cover version of "Jump!" as you can get.

Dio and Sabbath - Heaven and Hell (Live)

2006-05-22T11:57:00.000-07:00

If it wasn't for YouTube, I'd have never seen this fine music video, from FNM's "Album of the Year", 1997. Even though I remember buying the album, I must have been too busy working 9-5 gigs in those days to enjoy watching too many music videos, but there we are, somebody has to pay the bills, or "les factures" even, as they say in France. So anyway, it's thanks to YouTube we can see it here. Therefore, for the record and otherwise, let me say a BIG-UP to YouTube for the fine service they provide, in a small way, and in a big way. A donation would be a fine thing for you to think about, wouldn't it now, reader? Chance would be a fine thing, you say? You might surprise yourself!

Zdob şi Zdub - Everybody in the Casa Mare

Live in Bromont, Quebec - circa 1979.

Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose

2006-05-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

An alltime classic from their alltime classic debut album, Badmotorfinger. Warning: this video was banned from MTV, and may contain disturbing (not to mention "jerky") imagery for some of you who are of a more sensitive disposition. At the same time, to be quite honest, the YouTube video quality is not all that high in this case, but it's good enough to still be disturbing, if again, you're easily disturbed.

The Offspring - Mota (Live Rockpalast)

2006-05-03T12:27:00.000-07:00

2006-04-10T13:11:00.001-07:00

featuring a couple of verses from the "Take That" megahit - "Back for Good", in the intro. One thing you can't deny about FNM: they have (or had? ... as they may be finished these days) a highly developed sense of humor.

More Live SOAD! - Mr. Jack

2006-04-09T12:39:00.000-07:00

System of a Down - Hypnotise

2006-04-07T09:18:00.000-07:00

One of the better songs on the recent album, although they're all pretty damn good.

2006-04-02T10:53:00.000-07:00

A classic headbangers anthem if there ever was one. Grab yourself a 6-pack of Carlsberg Special Brüw and party on down!

Theme Tune from 70's cult TV show "UFO"

2006-03-30T04:47:00.000-08:00

One of my all-time favorite groovy theme-tunes from TV. Remember the aliens that could only breathe the liquid substance in their helmets? Or the 60's haircuts? The miniskirts? That's gotta be a memorable, cult TV series if there ever was one. Even the effects weren't too bad considering the period in question. Click here to check out the psychedelic tune.

Van Halen, live in 1979 - "Dance the Night Away"

2006-03-28T12:20:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my new blog, rock fans. Here's a great upbeat tune to remind you of my teenage years - may it be a fortuitous omen of great listening to come!
