What is this? Do our eyes deceive us or do we have the creators of Netflix sensation Stranger Things to thank for bringing Metal To The Masses in 2022? Iron Maiden, W.A.S.P., Dio and Metallica all appearing in Season #4 certainly gave us something to smile about but it’s the presence of Kate Bush that
Back after a week off for bad behaviour and with that electronic ankle bracelet firmly attached, our longest running feature Vs Tuesday pits two bands against each other the boxing ring to determine which one has the best cover version of a classic. This week we rewind the tape back to 1983 and “Eliminator” by
If it wasn’t for how well the mix tape went down with audiences in Guardians of the Galaxy, would “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin have even appeared in Thor: Ragnarok? That one remains up for debate but one thing is for certain, the film wouldn’t be half as good without it. They’re a perfect match,
“Do you have the time to listen to me whine, About nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those, Melodramatic fools, Neurotic to the bone, No doubt about it… Sometimes I give myself the creeps, Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up,

What happens when you write and release a very personal song and then a legend in their own right decides to cover it? Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor knows that feeling all to well, describing it as like “seeing someone kissing your girlfriend” when Johnny Cash released a rendition of “Hurt“. It is one
Nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums, one other platinum studio album, one platinum live double album, a million-selling single and sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. That’s the stellar career of American Rock band Kansas summed up in a sentence. They’ve been strutting their stuff since 1970 and show little sign
Featuring the trademark “ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma” sound effect often misheard as “ch-ch-ch, ha-ha-ha” of Friday 13th (wonder if that’s where Disturbed got the idea?) there can be no mistaking the 1986 Alice Cooper classic “He’s Back (The Man Behind The Mask)“. An ode to Jason Voorhees that served as the lead single on the Jason Lives
While we didn’t perhaps realise quite how much at the time, the original MTV Unplugged in New York series that saw the likes of Nirvana, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam put in iconic performances without electricity were something seriously special. So while some other bands couldn’t quite manage to carry it off, those three
Penned by Klaus Meine after his band, German Rockers Scorpions visited the Soviet Union in 1990, “Wind Of Change” was a huge part of the bands eighth studio album “Crazy World“, with estimated sales of 14 million copies sold worldwide making it one of the biggest of all time. Demonstrating the power of Music, the
