Last entry

Now I know that a lot of you aren't really interested in heavy metal or in any rock band that I've talked about but If you did take the time to read my blogs i appreciated it and for those left a comment or two i also thank as well. This will be my last entry and with every ending comes a grand finally. Or in rocking "Encore" is when you give a bonus jam to your audience at a concert. It also means that the crowed likes your style in music and makes them want to listen to your songs more often. Now for all you metal and/or rock lovers I will leave you with three songs that I personally love and are in my top 10 most listened to songs. Each song will blow your minds out and show you true music in history of both genre of music. With out any delay here is the 3rd place song.  This is "Back In The U.S.S.R" by the Beatles.


What did you think of that...Maybe something faster is more listened to right? Here is the 2nd place song, "Dance of Death" by Iron Maiden.


As you can see the album covers of their songs gives the heavy metal impression. And last but not least here is the 1st place song *EXTREMELY LONG DRUM ROLL* "Sweating Bullets" by MEGADETH.


Hoped you guys liked my blogs. Goodbye.

Green Day

Now you guys might not know this but Green Day  is a trio. Billie Joe Armstrong is singer and lead guitarist, Mike Dirnt as bass guitarist and TrĂ© Cool as drummer. They are a punk/alternative/pop punk rock band and they are extremely talented for a trio. Now they started in 1988 with Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt who played some songs at Billie's mom's work and from there started their career. Later on, Cool heard about them and was interested to join them as drummer of the band in 1993. They won the all eight music awards in 2001 California's Music Awards.

Personally, I think they are pretty good and they are great to listen to since they talk about politics, nations, personal life and many other subjects. Something to add about there history that I found interesting is on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day if you are intrigued to find out more about them. They are still on tour and have came out with new songs like "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns" that are big hits. And last but not least and like all my other blogs here is a picture and a song for you all to listen to. Enjoy.

Collective Soul

This is an alternative rock band that has started in the 1990's and are still playing now. They became famous after performing their song "Shine". They are a really calming/amusing to listen to since they talk about anything. Now since they are a new band there isn't much to talk about so I shall just give you guys a little bit my opinion about them. Personally, I like the lead guitarist and the drummer since from my point of view they basically give the band a really good beat. My favorite song by Collective Soul is "December".

 The song, to me, talks about taking a break and to stop worrying about life orelse you'll be hurting yourself and everyone around you. Now that might not be what its really talking about but even if that ain't the story line behind the song, its still pretty good. They have a better future ahead of them since they have a better creativity than most newer rock bands and for that I give them credit since most bands of today. What I mean is that they don't stay on the same subject because they talk about life and in life there is more than just relationships and breaking up.

So heres a picture and enjoy the video.

Bon Jovi

Now here's another rock band you probably heard of. Now to give a little info on them here is a link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Jovi. I don't know a lot on there history but what I do know is that they talk about the good and the bad times in life that happened to them or to others. What I do know is that Dave Sabo (Part of the band Skid Row) used to play with Bon Jovi until he was replaced by another bassist named Richie Sambroa. Their first album came out between 1984-85 called "Run Away". They became a really popular band after having troubles starting it. In the late 70's and early 80's, Bon Jovi was switching from band to band with David Bryan. They went all around New Jersey's clubs and studios to no success, until Bon Jovi convinced the director of the radio channel "The Apple". That's basically what started the band. It took Bon Jovi to put his voice on air to intrigue others to join his band. Tico Torres joined soon after followed by Richie Sambroa. Personally, I ain't a big fan of Bon Jovi but I do like some of his songs since they help boost your confidence in yourself if you ever need it. Now here is my favorite song by Bon Jovi, its called "Livin' On A Prayer"
