Best Albums of 2019

2019 has been a decent year in hard rock and metal. Not as strong as some of the years past, but enough to keep the gears moving. Some prog metal giants have released some great material. As well as a few 80’s hard rock veterans. There were also multiple #1 heavy albums this year. Something that hasn’t happened in a few years. Through all the ups and downs of 2019, here’s the years top hard rock and metal albums.

Have Yourself A Hard Rock Christmas

It’s that time of year again, when snow falls (depending on where you live), the stockings get hung and kids are nearly unbearable with excitement. And while there is much joy that surrounds the holiday, the practical reality of getting prepared can be extremely stressful. Sometimes you need to let off some steam. That’s where hard rock and heavy metal Christmas tracks come in. They still keep you in the spirit while helping vent a little of that Christmas krampus. Here’s a quick playlist to aid in Holiday’s.

The Four Great Tracks From Van Halen III

A while back I posted an in defense of argument in favor of Van Halen III. The album that really gets run down in the bands catalog. And to be honest, I may have gone a little overboard in my praise for the album. There are some truly cringe worthy moments on it. The ballads don’t work. And a few mid tempo tracks try way to hard to be something they aren’t. However, there are four tracks on the album that rank among some of Van Halen’s best work. I’m talking about: ‘Without You,’ ‘One I Want,’ ‘Fire In The Hole,’ and ‘Ballot Or The Bullet.’

Machine Gun Kelley Gearing To Release Rock Album For 2020

Well I think it’s safe to say that playing the role of Tommy Lee in the Motley Crue bio pic, ‘The Dirt,’ has had a lasting effect on Colson Baker. Also known as Machine Gun Kelley. Of course, the prominent rapper actually started out in a rock band.

Dates Announced For Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Poison 2020 Tour

It’s certainly being set up as the biggest tour of the upcoming year. Being advertised as ‘A tour so big, we can only do it in the largest stadiums.’ Which, makes sense. I mean, We’re talking about three power house bands. Between the three of them there’s at least 200 million albums sold. Plus, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts have been added to the bill. So that’s another big name and market. All in all it’s shaping up to be a great experience. And now, it’s confirmed with announced tour dates.

Scott Weiland Passes Four Years Ago Today

It’s been 48 months since one of the greatest frontmen and singers of all time passed away. His gift lives on however and the legacy of his work is only rising. I’m talking of course, about original Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland.

Stone Temple Pilots Announce New Album ‘Peridita’ and Release Newe Single ‘Fare Thee Well’

Looks like STP are in it for the long haul with new vocalist Jeff Gutt. As the band prepare for their sophomore effort with the singer, they’ve released a little teaser. New single ‘Fare Thee Well,’ from what’s being described as a mostly acoustic venture, is a solid start from what looks like yet another exceptional effort from the DeLeo brothers and co.

Jimmy Kimmel Quizzes Billy Eilish On Show Causing Fan Backlash

Last week Jimmy Kimmel hosted new pop sensation Billy Eilish on his late night show. Eilish is the latest pop craze to hit the nation. The 17 year old is an interesting figure, despite her lack of raw talent. And I believe it’s her intrigue that has fans going wild. But Jimmy Kimmel challenged the imaged rocker and she showed that her diligence wasn’t quite up to par.
