Last week I was going to feature a great new video for “Speeding Like a Fiend” from highly noted singer/songwriter/musician/actor/producer/engineer, Mick James. Mick has been highly successful in many careers as well as has his own studio, Freedom of Speech Recording Studios in New York. Unfortunately, last week as I was about to post his video, it was taken off by Youtube for whatever reasons they claim. It is quite ironic that Mick, someone who truly believes in Freedom of Speech and then yet, becomes a victim of it by the video platform.
The video has since returned to Youtube but they had to start over again and lose all the original views. We asked Mick about the video takedown and he had this to say, “I do feel I have been a victim of haters. It seems the more popular you get the more people try & tear you down. I have seen much worse on Youtube. They had no problem letting me put it back up It just had to start over again. So I lost almost 62,000 views, over 60 comments & over 70 likes. But Im not caught up in it, It already has almost 16,500 again so I’m shooting for a cool Million LOL.”
It is great to see it back up and “Speeding Like a Fiend” is such a bad ass song! If you like Alice Cooper or Rob Zombie, you are really going to love Mick James. The guitars are killer in the track and Mick‘s vocals are edgy and sexy! The video is a Movie Teaser/Music video that features Snake Sabo from Skid Row. Check out the video here:
“Speeding Like a Fiend” is off of his new Solo CD, Mick James is Dead which you can currently pre-order here. Mick has quite a career with his music and is highly recognized for his music included in the hit television show Criss Angel Mindfreak. He also created music for theCriss Angel/Cirque Du Soleil Vegas show “Believe” and his music can be heard throughout television.
If you are a guitarist or a guitar aficiando, Mick has designed his own signature series of guitars & basses for Carparelli Guitars. His guitars are named the “Levitation 7” and are known for producing a certain unique sound for guitarists who are seeking something a little different and are very distinctive from any other guitars on the market.
Mick is currently working on a feature film as well as the release of his solo CD. So for some bad ass rock, make sure to visit his social media sites and stay up to date. Also visit his website www.mickjamesisdead.com where you can join the MJ Community where you can join contests, load up photos and stay up to date on all the latest news.
