Duff McKagan and Steve Jones - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory / Heroes (live)

Thanks to Ed for sending me this. Duff and Steve doing Johnny Thunders and David Bowie.

The Hu - The Trooper

I love Iron Maiden and I love The Hu. So this is an easy win for me - a straight-up cover of The Trooper in Mongolian by The Hu.


For what it's worth, I saw The Hu on their first US tour, over at The Stone Pony, up close and personal. Amazing show. The have to do Yuve Yuve Yu as their encore despite opening with it because they played every song in their repetoire at the show. Really awesome.

Iron Butterfly - In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida

I just heard that Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly passed away.


That's not their only song, but it's probably all you have time for right now. And by the way, what a great band name. It's right up there with Blue Cheer and Bad Religion in two-word adjective-noun band names.

FEAR - Let's Have a War

I just got tickets to see FEAR with DOA opening this summer.



Finally I'll get to see the legendary FEAR!

Subway Sect - Ambition

The keyboard riff in this song just hooks me in so hard, every single time. It's a banger.

The Five Americans - Western Union

Pure pop rock genius.

The Darkness + Ed Sheeran - Love is Only a Feeling

Back on 12/9/2023, The Darkness played in London with a fan of theirs playing as the opening act - Ed Sheeran.

What a show to go to, eh? You buy a ticket for The Darkness and see Ed Sheeran as the opening act.

Plus they played Love is Only a Feeling together, in truly excellent form:
