Stephen Pearcy Shills For Dollar Loan Center

It's time for another hair metal icon to shill for Dollar Loan Center. This time, RATT's Stephen Pearcy gets the star treatment while he applies for a loan. Shocker, he's approved and the bankers are all really attractive women! Sebastian Bach and Vince Neil have also appeared in such commercials. This just makes me shake my head. Still, a job is a job and I'm sure these commercials paid well... or at least I hope they did.

Sunday's Best: Week 10, 2022

The time change happened overnight and we made it! It's one of my favorite days of the year: a time of renewed hope for longer and warmer days full of sunshine. Spring officially starts next Sunday and we've got St. Patrick's Day this week, too!

To me, it's time for happy or inspiring metal songs - and that's our Sunday's Best for this week. Some of my choices are below:

Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again
Saxon - Denim and Leather
Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time
Steel Panther - Party All Day
Judas Priest - Living After Midnight
I See Stars - Electric Forest
RATT - Best Of Me
Dio - Stand Up And Shout

Also I suppose we could just listen to any power metal and call it a day. (I kid, sort of). What are some of your go-to uplifting tracks?

There's Another Heaviest Riff Video!

The video I posted yesterday was very popular for the creator and he made a new video with 13 more songs.

This time, we've got riffs from Every Mother's Nightmare, RATT, Firehouse, Loudness, KISS, Savatage and more. Probably the best inclusion on this list is "Unchained" by Van Halen. I've always thought that was an absolutely face-melter of a track.

Stephen Pearcy Explains Cancer Battle

RATT frontman Stephen Pearcy has liver cancer. It's a battle he's been fighting for three years now. He just talked about the diagnosis in a recent interview, which you can see below.

The good news is that Pearcy says he is doing fine now. His cancer was found through a blood test. Remember to get your regular check-ups. A routine blood draw could very well save your life.
