Well, Bon Jovi has been my favorite band since I was 11. I am now 25 and still a major fan.

I saw them live once in Munich, Germany at the Olympic Stadium with about 70.000 people and it rocked. I am fan of the lyrics, music, vocals, concert performances and the guys’s attitude for life so it is no surprise that I got to write about them a lot.

You can’t stop rocknroll is the title song of the Twisted Sister album You can’t stop rocknroll. Having been an avid rock fan since I was  11, I always loved songs that celebrated my favorite music genre ever. As you grow up, you grow more flexible with music preferences. You can feel more relaxed about genres and that you wouldn’t be caught dead listening to ten years ago. Still, the core remains the same and it is rock n roll. Since it is a way of expression and celebrating life, parties and good fun (you guessed right, I am not exactly a Nirvana fan), I wanted to collect all my rock related posts under one roof post.

What do you mean You Haven’t Heard of Metallica?

Posted on Written by

So did you hear about Metallica? If you are slightly in the rock, there is a chance you heard of them. But as it happens, they are not as popular as I thought.

Now, I love some Metallica songs, either covers they did or their original. I don’t go to their concerts but my mp3 player has quite a few of their tracks. I grew up in the late 80s and 90s and probably belong to one of the last generations that express themselves with music.  When I grew up, it was a shame not to know who Pearl Jam were or when Kurt Cobain died. It was cool to despise Courtney love and it was even cooler to love Guns N’ Roses. They would literally laugh in your face if you didn’t associate a certain type of metal with Metallica. Years passed by and there came a time when they were considered so mainstream… What happened? They did not fall off the face off the earth or stop filling stadiums or selling records…

Didn't front man James Hetfield's hair burn during a fire stunt a couple of years ago? That's why he had it cut, right? Oh, well no objections here if James wants to set us on fire. Well, metophorically. Image from: http://www.cianw.co.uk/wp-content/uploads

Maybe this friend of mine should hang with different crowds or hang with some older people. Because he plays the electric guitar and it is fun and cool and necessary to play Metallica. I have a classic guitar. Just like most my peers around my age, it was bought with the hopes that I could one day upgrade to electric and play electric guitar solos. Oh, the dream! I most wanted to play Paradise City by Guns n’ Roses. Ah, the dreams of the youth. Kidding, I am still young and I still dream. It’s just that I am tone-deaf and far too busy launching a writing career. But I had taken a course years ago and one of the first things I learned was to play the main melody of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Oh and Come As You Are by Nirvana. Good old times.

Well, thanks for reading this nostalgic rant of a rock a chick. So why not list your favorite songs by them? No, wait! Individual Metallica best ofs should be the subject for another article!

BodyRockers Album Review: BodyRockers

Posted on Written by

Share

I never intended this blog to be the go-to site when it comes to album reviews. Sure you will find some new albums but let’s face it, my heart does belong to a lot of bands frm 70s/80s and 90s. I also don’t believe in fashion. Which means that if I like an album and if the album is good enough, the release date can’t matter less. And I have so much writing to do, trying to review everything I like. But hey, what better way to do this one album at a time?
BodyRockers
Bodyrockers album featuring hit single I Like The Way. Image from: http://abi-rhodes.typepad.com

Band: Bodyrockers

Album: Bodyrockers

Year: 2005

Reason for buying: I like the way

Company: Mercury Records

Most of the time, I can’t stand dance music. But I am addicted to rock. I even dance and exercise to rocknroll. But one band did a wonderful combination  couldn’t resist. They brought together irresistible dance beats and played them on electric guitar and drums. They also have a perfect name: Bodyrockers.  The first video made me rush to the store and buy the CD. And it is the only dance album I have and surprisingly, all songs rock and make you dance.

Songs List:

Handle on your face

I like the way

I wanna live

You got me singing

Round and round

Dirty

For one night only

Keep your boots on

New York City Girl

Dignity

Stuck in a rut.

Absolute Favorites: I Like The Way, Keep Your Boots On and New York City Girl

But I have to underline the fact that the whole album is really good. Recommended for dance and rock fans alike.
