Battle of the Bands: Imagine there is no shutouts!

Well I am starting the quest to end the shutout streak or extended by picking a classic song. "Imagine" by John Lennon I am surprised I haven't used this one yet.

Contender One: Neil Young

   Contender Two: Elton John

Two emotional live covers. Two great artists. You know the drill vote in the comments!

Rocktober: Bret Michaels

No he didn't die and no it isn't his birthday. Bret Michaels is however the last concert I saw. Keeping with my Rocktober theme I thought I would blog about it today. Bret Michaels was the lead singer and frontman for the band Poison.

Here is Bret's promo for the show..

He is best known for his work with Poison..

Here they are with "Unskinny Bop" one of the many Poison songs Bret Michael performed Saturday

Here he is with a solo song "Beautiful Soul"..

Another Poison hit "Talk Dirty to Me"...Bret's set was filled with plenty of Poison hits...

Here is an interview with him a year ago..

I'll leave you with another Poison song "Every Rose Has it's Thorn" here is Bret doing his version...

I;ll be back soon with a new post!

A to Z Challenge: Sevendust

The song above is "Decay" by Sevendust. I picked them because I had the chance to interview guitarist John Connolly from the group which you can read here.



The band has released 10 albums. One of their career highlights has to be playing Woodstock 99 below is a clip from that show..

I blogged about them last year when I did the interview so I am trying to add some different videos and hit on some different aspects of the band. Below is a clip of the band in their home town of Atlanta.

If you like what you see and hear you can find tour dates and order their albums at their website. The band's latest album is an acoustic effort and here is a clip from their latest tour earlier this month...

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for dropping in! The challenge will continue tomorrow...
