Happy Friday! We are almost done with New Release posts for 2023. Only one more week to go after this so enjoy it while it lasts. This week there are a handful of releases and only one for me I want to hear and that is the Bryan Adams release ‘Live at the Royal Albert Hall’. Should be awesome. But there is a lot more out than that so I hope you can find something. Let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!    Bryan Adams – Live at the Royal Albert Hall – (BMG Rights Mgmt) Blue Oyster Cu ..read more

On November 6, 2000, Bon Jovi released their third single from ‘Crush’, well, their second single in the U.S. The song did really well for the band reaching the Top 40 in a ton of countries like the UK, Germany and Australia, but not in the U.S. where it only went to #57. Proving more that Bon Jovi were actually bigger overseas then in their home country which had the way it was for at least a decade. Back in 2000, when Bon Jovi released a single, there would be a ton of different variants of that single in many different parts of the world, each with their own unique B-Sides and this one was ..read more

Yes, I was there for the end. The final Kiss show. I have been a fan for around 46 years or since ever since I discovered these albums in my brothers collection. I was around 7-8 years old. The make-up, the larger than life characters, the pictures on those albums and most of all, the songs all captured this little kid’s mind and never let go. Through the good years and the bad (and there have been some), Kiss has always been a part of my life. My very first Kiss show was December 26, 1983 for the Lick It Up Tour. My brother, Gary, gave me a ticket for the show on my birthday, which was the da ..read more

For My Sunday Song #389, we are almost to the end of Tim’s Choices and this time around is a cover song for Tesla called “Run Run Run”. It was originally done by Jo Jo Gunne in 1972 and written by Matt Andes and Joe Ferguson. It was only released as a B-Side on the CD Maxi Single for “Love Song” in 1990 so never on any of the band’s albums. The song, lyrically, is very simple and seems to be about a guy who might be on the run from the law and needs to get to the border or the state line to get away from them. Nothing more than that. Pretty simple, right! The band has fun with it. They keep to ..read more

We are now in December. Christmas is fast approaching and the year is almost over. Man time flies. Speaking of flying, if I’m not responding to comments it is because I am heading to New York City for a very special show tomorrow night. You can read all about it on Monday (I hope I can get it done by then). For now, we have a batch of new releases for you. There is nothing for me although I do want to hear the new Peter Gabriel and I will try out Mike Shinoda’s new one. Otherwise too busy. Let me know what you want to hear this week or if we missed anything so everyone can see it. Thanks for s ..read more

Welcome to monthly wrap-up of what 2 Loud 2 Old Music added to the collection and it was another good month. I will be honest, I don’t know if December is shaping up to be as good as this one and that is okay. I need a break. I will be in New York City and hope to hit a couple stores so there is still hope, but as far as what has already been ordered, not much. I know there is Christmas, but that list I gave my family was pretty light as I’d like a new laptop and that will drown out most everything else. For now, sit back and enjoy what we have this month. The month started out with a sale at ..read more

Def Leppard had made it big time with their third album ‘Pyromania’. The tour was huge. It traveled the world and saw millions of fans flock to their shows. They were on fire and the flame was growing hotter and hotter. There had been no shows released until the Deluxe Edition of Pyromania saw the light of day in 2009. That was the first time we had a taste of Live Leppard from 1983. Of course, this was only on CD. It wasn’t until the release of the giant box set ‘The Collection, Vol. 1’ in 2018 that we were able to get this on vinyl which is what we are reviewing here today. The show was nig ..read more

Bon Jovi’s 7th Studio album was ‘Crush’ and it was released on June 13, 2000. The Japanese Edition, which I have in my collection, wasn’t released until September 27, 2000. It contained 2 Bonus Tracks, which we discussed when we went through the album on the last post, as well as an entirely new disc which is an E.P. of a live show from Osaka, Japan. The E.P. is called ‘Live from Osaka’ and that is what we are discussing today. Before we get to that, let’s talk a little about the Japanese Edition. My copy has the OBIT strip as you can see below. That is the prize you want when you get a Japane ..read more

For My Sunday Song #388, we have Tim’s next pick which is “Heart of Darkness” by the band Heart. The song is the B-Side to “What About Love” off the 1985 album ‘Heart’. The songwriting credits on this one goes to the entire band which did not happen very often and in looking at the album credits, there is only one song on the album that is credited to all of them.  The song talks about two people lying next to each other making love all night and they don’t want the night to end. But the Heart of Darkness line leads me to believe their love is in secret and they have to hide it. My guess ..read more

It is the after Thanksgiving in the States and it is known as Black Friday. Because of that, there are not many new releases unless you are being released on Record Store Day – Black Friday…that list is at the bottom of the regular album releases. And for the regular releases there is nothing for me, but for Black Friday Record Store Day I would like the Collective Soul and my daughter wants the Olivia Rodrigo one. I also wouldn’t mind getting the Limp Bizkit one on CD but don’t tell anyone. Let me know what you want to pick up this week or what we may have missed. Thanks and have a great week ..read more
