New Trailer For Led Zeppelin Film Released

Becoming Led Zeppelin hits American theaters February 7.

It is directed by Bernard MacMahon and I can't wait. I got served up a targeted ad by Sony Pictures with some new trailer clips. The film has never-before-seen footage and that is what I am most excited about. This is a must-see for me.

Trixter Tour Update - More Dates Added

I love this! "The Spirit of 1989" tour! Trixter, Pretty Boy Floyd, Christian Shields and (on some dates) Enuff Z'Nuff. This is going to be one of those crazy, fun shows. There's even a date near me. Don't miss out on this one!

This Is Wild: If The Beatles Were Glam

There's a YouTube account called AlteredAnthems. A few days ago, the account shared a glam metal take on the Beatles classic, Revolver. Just check out "Eleanor Rigby" (3:30 mark). This actually works. Wild, but fun.

Stephen Pearcy Would Like You To Vote For His Cat

Stephen Pearcy is a pretty fun follow on Facebook. He always posts music and RATT-related stuff of course, but he also shares a lot about his pets and family life. Now, his fluffy feline named Charles the Catt is in the "America's Favorite Pet" content. 

The winning feline gets $10,000 and a modeling spread on the cover of Modern Cat magazine. Voting opens tomorrow. You can vote once per day for the duration of the contest. I find this awesomely wholesome. Love it.

'A Bit Of Lightning'

Turns out I really dig the band Flat Black.

Their song "A Bit of Lightning" has great guitar solos and no wonder - the band was formed by Jason Hook. You might recall that Hook was previously a guitarist for Five Finger Death Punch.

"A Bit of Lightning" is on the Flat Black debut album Dark Side of the Brain. It came out over the summer. Flat Black is performing on the Shiprocked cruise festival later this month. 

Since Alcohol Causes Cancer

Earlier today, the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a new warning linking alcohol consumption to preventable cancer. It's a timely promotion for Alice Cooper, then, to back an alcohol-free whiskey. 

The brand is WhistlePig. I've never heard of it, but honestly, I might give it a whirl. I enjoy an old-fashioned from time to time. That said, I'll pass on the snake.

It's True

I'm still amazed any time a coworker wanders into my office and notices the music I'm playing. For the most part, I listen to metalcore or Steely Dan while working onsite. Folks come in during a screamy song, get tongue-tied and apologize for bothering me.

Then I get the inevitable, "I never expected you to like that kind of music." (Also, what exactly does "the kind" of music mean?)

Not sure what people are expecting when they see me - I guess I look like a fan of Sesame Street songs or something? A reminder to keep an open mind in this new year. Never assume a non-tattooed girlie doesn't love the heavy shit!
