Kiss – ‘Days of Sorrow And Madness’ (2012) – Album Review (The Kiss Bootleg Series) We are to yet another disc that was included in the John Humphrey Collection I bought last year at an auction where I got my hands on 38 Bootleg CDs from his personal collection. Oh, if you don’t know who John Humphrey is, you need to know he is a massive Kiss collector. And he is the drummer of the band Seether.

The Protest Song is Back!! Every generation has their fair share of protest songs. When there is government turmoil, civil unrest, a war or whatever event occurs that rubs people the wrong way, we get a protest song. I asked…

Friday New Releases – March 6, 2026 March kicks off with a bang with a highly anticipated album for a lot of people. That would be Harry Styles new one. I'm sure I'll give it a listen. I'll also probably stream Rainbow and Black Stone Cherry. Others might like Leaves' Eyes or Charlotte Sands or Morrissey and there are a couple of older bands like Squeeze and Talking Heads with new albums.

Kiss – ‘Houston: The Summit Sept. 2, 1977’ (1992) – Album Review (The Kiss Bootleg Series) While on the Love Gun Tour, Kiss had a two night stop at the venue The Summit in Houston Texas. Those shows were on September 1st and 2nd of 1977. Here for this next Bootleg in the series, we are capturing the 2nd night of the show and this is a really cool show as Kiss were in their prime and they simply slayed on the stage that night.

Europe – ‘Secret Society’ (2006) – Album Review Europe is a band that has been tied down by it's massive hit "The Final Countdown"in my opinion. That time is also considered the classic line-up of the band. Shortly after the success of that album, lead guitarist John Norum up and left the band. It was a shock to many. He spent time working on solo material and with Don Dokken.

Yngwie Malmsteen – ‘Inspiration’ (1996) – Album Review (The Jeff Scott Soto Series) Yngwie Malmsteen brought back his first three singers for his next album which was a tribute album of all the songs that inspired Yngwie to do what he does. The aptly titled, 'Inspiration', is his ninth studio album and was released on October 14, 1996. The album charted in Finland and in Sweden but nowhere else that I can find. It did go Gold in Japan selling over 100,000 copies.

Kiss – ‘Choppers ‘N Chicks’ (2016) – Album Review (The Kiss Bootleg Series) Kiss is one of those bands that there are hundreds upon hundreds of bootlegs. Each time I go to Repo Records for Record Store Day, I always seem to find bootlegs. It has been Kiss and Van Halen almost every time. This time it was more Kiss. I discovered three bootlegs at Repo Records and since I didn’t have two of them, I bought both.

Ratt – ‘Invasion of Your Privacy E.P.” (2025) – Limited Edition Picture Disc (RSD – Black Friday) On June 13, 1985, Ratt released their second full length album called ‘Invasion of Your Privacy’.  After the success of their debut ‘Out of the Cellar', Ratt wasted no time in repeating that formula and delivering another solid album. The band continued the Ratt sound with Stephen Pearcy’s raspy vocals over those overtly sexualized lyrics along with the dual guitar combo of Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini.

Jeff Scott Soto – ‘The Queen Sessions’ (2004) – Album Review (The Jeff Scott Soto Series) Some things Jeff has done that is so extremely rare, it is near impossible to find a copy. This is one of those for me. I would count this one as an official release as Jeff released this independently and sold them exclusively during his 2004 Tour for 'Lost in Translation'. That is my belief anyway. Discogs has this listed as a 2003 release date.

Whitesnake – ‘Forevermore (Revisited, Remixed, Remastered)’ (2025) – Box Set (The David Coverdale Series) ‘Forevermore’ was originally released on March 9, 2011 and in modern Whitesnake times, a 3 year gap is like a week as the gap between ‘Good to Be Bad’ and the previous studio album was 11 years. David Coverdale and Doug Aldrich wrote the entire album together as David likes to sit with his guitarist and come up with the songs just as he did with Vandenberg and Sykes.

My Sunday Song – “Icky Thump” by The White Stripes For My Sunday Song #463, we are going to talk the still applicable song today, "Icky Thump" by The White Stripes. Why do I say still applicable today? Well, the song is about immigration and was written back in the George Bush administration in 2007. As you know, immigration is a hot topic today with all the ICE raids and Border Patrol operations (who were recently in Charlotte arresting a lot of people).
