"This Is Gonna Hurt" 

Video for Today...

Nikki on the Album:

Oddly, the concept of This Is Gonna Hurt’s lead single, “Lies of the Beautiful People” (co-written with Rob Zombie guitarist John 5), which is already a top 5 rock track, came together when looking at another medium that affects thousands upon thousands of people: People’s Most Beautiful People list. Sixx had just left a photo session to get some gas when he walked into a convenience store and saw the issue. It hit him immediately. “I was just ashamed that there’s even such a list out there,” he says. “And I thought to myself, the people I was shooting were so rich and so full of stories and life and it was so not superficial. Even though what I was photographing was their outsides, really what I was trying to capture was their insides. I remember sitting down with the guys, and I talked about that moment, and I said, ‘It’s like the lie sof the beautiful people.’ And a light went on for all of us.” 

 “I don’t care if you’re a supermodel or an amputee or a tattooed rock star or an accountant—justdon’t judge us on the outside,” Sixx continues. “Can you please just judge us by who we are anddon’t make a list that some teenage girl has to look at and go, ‘This is what I have to live up to?’I don’t look the way I look because I do it to shock you or because I’m a rock star; I do it because this is who I am. All I ask is to accept me for who I am, for my failures and for everything that I succeeded at, but inside I’m a good person and I judge people by how good they are, and who I allow in or not allow in my life. That’s what that song for us is.”

“I think this record ended up affecting all of us on a much deeper level than we thought it would,”Michael says. “The album is about being honest with yourself. When you sit down and start really acknowledging who you are and how you behave towards other people and how you judge other people, it’s gonna be painful. This is gonna hurt.”  -Sixxammusic.com

"Life Won't Wait"

Music Video of the day...

'Life Won't Wait' is the ballad from Ozzy Osbourne's newest album, 'Scream' -- there's no doubt about that, nor is there any that this is new territory for the Prince of Darkness, either. The tender songs (i.e. 'Mama I'm Coming Home') have always been a bread and butter deal, but there is something honest and vulnerable about this one, making it one that cannot be missed.

Directed by his son Jack, 'Life Won't Wait' doesn't dance around the song's intentions, with Osbourne floating from scene to scene of people's lives at crossroads and at their end. "Every minute of every day/don't get caught in a memory/'cause life won't wait for you," he laments in the chorus. At 61, the metal legend is looking back on his life and sharing what he knows. -Noisecreep.com

Song Fact... "Life Won't Wait" was played during the end credits for the horror film Saw 3D...

Steve Harris...

"Happy 56th Birthday"

Steve Harris...

Regardless of whom your personal favourite member of the Maiden crew might be, Steve Harris was not only the founding member of Iron Maiden, but Steve Harris is Mr. Iron Maiden. As much as it may hurt Bruce (Dickinson, vocalist) for us to say that, as a matter of straightforward truth, that is it.

Not getting into the history of it all too much but it was Steve’s dream and vision to get the Maiden ball and the heavy metal ball in general, rolling and re-rolling respectively. In the midst of the punk era seventies, dominated by the likes of The Clash, The Sex Pistols and thousands of other hopeful wannabe’s or wanna-dies in some cases!) times were tough to make a break.

Black Sabbath had broken the ice in 1970 with their classic debut of the same name. Instantly becoming ‘the inventors of heavy metal’, the Sab’s built upon the distorted,heavy blues created from the likes of Led Zeppelin, and took it to a new, darker level. AC/DC and Motorhead would further support the cause (‘Heads aggressiveness actually going down a storm amongst the punks!)

Though despite his love for these heavy metal bands, particularly and obviously Black Sabbath, Harris’ musical influences revolved more around the likes of progressive and hard rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Free and Golden Earring to name a couple.

Most tellingly, Steve also had fond admiration for twin guitar bands such as Thin Lizzy and Wishbone Ash. This is from where Maiden’s duel axe philosophy got it’s idea, enabling a more powerful, attacking sound, the combination of lead and rhythm and guitar harmonies.

Although Maiden’s first line up was in place as early as 1975, the band wouldn’t get a record deal until 1979, (from which they released The Soundhouse tapes EP). Iron Maiden, the self-titled debut album, wouldn’t be released until 1980. Events over those years would prove difficult, as line up changes took a ridiculous toll on the band.

It was Steve’s ability and determination to carry on that paid off, and these are the principles that Maiden have always stood by and that have helped to make them such a revered and respected bunch of musicians. As we know, the rest is history. But the point is, without Steve’s Harris’s dream, his will to succeed and his never say die attitude, Iron Maiden would have never have had the chance to become one of the World’s most sought after heavy metal bands.  -Maidenfans.com

"Love You To Death"

Music Video Of The Day...

In her place one hundred candles burning

As salty sweat drips from her breast

Her hips move and I can feel what they're sayin', swayin'

They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine

I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?

Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're sayin', prayin'

They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

I beg to serve, your wish is my law

Now close those eyes and let me love you to death

Shall I prove I mean what I'm sayin', beggin'

I say the beast inside me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

Let me love you too

Let me love you to death

To death...

Mel Galley...

"Happy Birthday Mel Galley",

If he were alive today he would 64 years old...

Mel Galley was an English guitarist and a former member of the Hard rock bands Whitesnake, Trapeze, Finders Keepers and Phenomena. He was born in Cannock, Staffordshire, England. While a member of Whitesnake, he badly injured his arm in an accident at a fairground in Germany and had to leave the band, as he was unable to play guitar because of a nerve damage as result of incompetent surgery. Later he became known for playing with "The Claw", a specially developed spring and wire device fitted to his hand which enabled him to play guitar again. Together with his brother Tom Galley and Wilfried Rimensberger, he was a founding member of Phenomena where his songwriting and guitar playing skills had a major impact on its success.
On February 7, 2008 Galley revealed that he was suffering from esophagus cancer, and had only a short time to live.
