Lots of praise is regularly heaped on the early Michael Schenker era UFO material while the post Strangers In the Night Schenker albums get short shrift. We aim to rectify that issue with this latest In 40 Minutes segment.There are three albums to consider over a 7 year period between 1995 and 2002 with more than enough strong material to create an…

Time to revisit the discography of the mighty Status Quo. We've previously visited the 70s and 80s, so it's logical (and sequential!) that we now proceed to the 90s, an era that many fans of the rock'n'roll kings ignore. At their own peril as you'll soon hear. Three albums were produced that decade, two of which are very good while the third has it…

After the demise of the mighty Ramones there was a huge hole left in the fun-punk sub-genre. However, youngest member CJ (this fans' second fave Ramones dude (after Johnny)) stepped up and provided starving punk rockers with some great material that would have easily fit on latter era Ramones albums.So here we celebrate that material with 40 minute…

I like Weezer. There I said it.A metalhead ain't supposed to like this band, but, dammit, I consider both the Blue and Green albums as perfect 10 out of 10s. (The rest of the discography - not so much.) At their best Weezer always sounded to me like a combination of 70s Black Sabbath doom dirge crossed with The Beach Boys harmonies. Absolutely esse…

The first time I witnessed Anvil (twice in one night!) was at The Danforth Music Hall when they opened for Motorhead on their Ace of Spades tour. Lights went down and a mop-topped crazed guitarist ran through the crowd in full guitar-on-stun mode by way of introduction. They definitely got my attention ... so much so that I still call myself a fan …
