XM SIRIUS DROPS SIXX SENSE CHANNEL AND ALL OF US LISTENERS ARE OUTRAGED!

October 19, 2013

I love my Saturdays, a day where I can kick back and ride around running my errands while listening to my favorite XM Sirius Channel Sixx Sense Channel 242…… Well today that was not to happen as I put on my car stereo and didn’t even make it out of the driveway as I was greated with some Spanish channel replacing my Sixx Sense. I thought someone must have changed my Number 1 Favorite channel so I rapidly scanned straight to 242 and received the message of DOOM…… This channel is no longer available on XM Sirius, to download the new channel line up…. blah… blah…. blah.., I didn’t care to hear what came after that heartbreaking NEWS!!!!

Buckcherry makes announcement about Jimmy Ashhurst’s departure

October 16, 2013

We just recently learned of Jimmy Ashhurst’s departure from Buckcherry through a post on Buckcherry’s website today: Oct.16.2013 An Important Message From The Band Regarding Jimmy Recently many of you have been contacting us wondering what exactly is going on with our current line up, our bassist, and generally wondering why we haven’t addressed this directly. For the sake of setting the record straight and letting our fans know what’s up, here it is: With heavy hearts and with great difficulty we have decided to part ways with our long time bandmate Jimmy Ashhurst. This was not an easy decision, nor was it a rash decision made in haste. It’s not our desire to air dirty laundry or inner band circumstances that brought about this result. Every band has its issues, and while we have gone to great lengths to minimize them and work through them, this band has had its own issues like any other. We in no way wish to put Jimmy in an unfavorable light. Simply put, we felt it was in [Read More]

Today we wanted to let you know that Like Monroe just released a lyric video for their new single “The Enemy”.

We feel that we are writing our most thought provoking, yet inspiring music we have ever produced and we couldn’t be more proud”. This is one song to be proud of guys! Great job! I love this song. It has a great mixture of deep scream vocals meshed with hard rock vocals. along with bad ass drumming. The guitars are drop tuned heavy guitars that I always enjoy.

October 15, 2013

For this Tuesdays Travels pick I want to introduce you to a band that we recently got to see perform live here in San Francisco. From Moscow, Russia I present to you hard rockers, Louna. Louna was in San Francisco performing with Heaven’s Basement and The Pretty Reckless for their Going To Hell Tour which in itself is quite historic with American, British and Russian bands together on the bill. Louna came out on stage and just rocked the place. Lou Gevorkian on vocals has not only has spectacular vocals but a high energy stage presence that reminds me of the days of the Runaways or early Pat Benatar. On bass, Vitaly Demidenko is jumping around with adrenaline flowing through his veins and gives us some crunchy bass lines. On guitars you are treated to a double dose of blistering guitars by Rouben Kazariyan and Sergey Ponkratiev. Bringing the sound all together with his lively drumming is Leonid “Pilot” Kinzbursky. Together, this band shows us that even though they may come from a country halfway across the [Read More]
