Skid Row... Speakers?

Apparently Xounts makes fancy speakers... that are branded with all sorts of things like festivals and band names and whatever else you can think of. Now Skid Row has teamed up with Xounts for some light-up, branded speakers. These things look freaking cool.

When I went to check on the price, I discovered that there are a lot more branded covers including Sammy Hagar, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper and more. These don't come cheap, though: these are more than $800.

Cool Video 'Nuno Bettencourt Proves He Can Play Anything'

This is pretty freaking cool. Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt proves he can play anything - around the 7 minutes mark is Van Halen, "Hot For Teacher" and that is especially badass. Just a fun video and conversation.

Get Your Motley Pizza!

How could I not share this? Motley Crue will takeover Hollywood tonight... and to celebrate, Prince Street Pizza is doing a Motley Crue Combo. Obviously I am not from California - nor have I ever lived there - so I have no idea what Prince Street Pizza tastes like, but I am sure it is good. And yes, I would totally order the John 5. I'm a vegetarian after all. Eric would probably eat Vince Neil's choice of Spicy Spring.

Honestly I think the pizza boxes are cool as hell and I wish I could get one. 

Richie Kotzen, 'This Is A Test' -- New Video

Richie Kotzen's latest album is called Nomad. It came out a couple weeks ago and now the singer and guitarist has released a video for the song "This Is A Test." Yes, this is acoustic!

'can you see me in the dark?' - Performance Video

"can you see me in the dark?" is a collaboration between Halestorm and I Prevail. It also happens to be one of my very favorite songs of the year so far - and it is routinely in the top 10 of the weekly Octane countdown.

A pro-shot live performance of both bands doing the song is now available. This is just such an incredible performance - I had to share!

New Friday Music - October 4, 2024

Lots of new music today. Motley Crue's new EP called Cancelled is out today. It features the song of the same name, plus "Dogs of War" and The Beastie Boys cover, "Fight For Your Right." Today is the first day the song "Cancelled" has been available. To me, it has serious Saints of Los Angeles vibes.

Also out today is new Richie Sambora music. The single is called "We'll Get By" and features drummer Abe Laboriel Jr.

Finally, D-A-D has a new album out today called Speed of Darkness. Hopefully there is something here for you to enjoy! Happy Friday!
