You got a DeLorean DMC-12 and fun lyrics like:

Wanted in fourteen counties of this state,
the condemned is found guilty of the crimes
of murder, armed robbery of citizens,
state banks, and post offices, the theft of
sacred objects, arson in a state prison,
perjury, bigamy, deserting his wife and children,
inciting prostitution, kidnapping,
extortion, receiving stolen goods, selling stolen
goods, passing counterfeit money,
and contrary to the laws of this state, the condemned
is guilty of using marked cards and
loaded dice. Therefore, according to the power
invested in us,
we sentence the accused here before us, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan
Maria Ramirez...
...known as the Rat...
...and any other aliases he might have,
to hang by the neck until dead. May God have
mercy on his soul. Proceed.

The last two weeks have been ****ty.


9/21/26, the Legendary Angry Anderson passed away at 79 from a Heart Attack on tour. This band from Aussie, is a personal favorite of mine and They never got the credit they rightly deserve. At Least he went out with his Boots on.


RIP Angry.

Then on the 1st (yesterday) I woke up to this:

CRONOS of Venom fame is dead.



IN MEMORIAM of CONRAD 'CRONOS' LANT

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share the news that Conrad 'Cronos' Lant has passed away.
For more than four decades, Conrad's voice, bass and vision were at the heart of VENOM.
From the first dark rumblings of Welcome to Hell, through Black Metal, At War With Satan, Possessed and beyond, he created something that changed heavy music forever.
VENOM never followed the rules.
They forged their own path.
And Conrad was there at the centre of it all Ãnd uncompromising, fearless and unmistakable.
The Legions have always been an important part of VENOM. To everyone who stood with the band through the years, bought the records, came to the shows, wore the shirts, shared the music and kept the flame burning. Cronos was always grateful for your loyalty and support.


A message from Nathan, Conrad's son:
I want to thank all of the Legions for all of the support you have given my dad over the years. I know he really appreciated you all. He has laid down his soul, and his music will live on. The legend of Cronos will never die.
His music will never die.
His voice will never fade.
And the legacy of VENOM will live on through the music he created and through the Legions around the world who continue to carry that flame.
Thank you, Conrad.
Thank you, Cronos.
Thank you for the music.
Thank you for the memories.
Our deepest love and condolences go to Nathan & Hel, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
REST IN PEACE, CONRAD
THE LEGEND LIVES ON






This band invented BLACK Metal, SATANIC Metal, They were Pioneers and NO ONE can take that from them.


guitarist; Jeff 'Mantas'Dunn has said it best in this eulogy.

In a social media post, Jeff wrote: "May I thank you all for the overwhelming outpouring of appreciation and condolences. Justly deserved I believe.

"I speak for myself and Abaddon [Antony Bray, original VENOM drummer] who I spoke to today when I say that, despite the turbulent history of this band, it was at the end of the day the three of us, who started something so special and changed the direction, the movement and the history of metal as we know it.

"We were aware of the news two days ago, but obviously without the consent and wishes of Conrad's family, we were not at liberty to say anything to anyone and we respected that.

"At times like this the thing I remember is the friendship that we had in those early days, that one for all, all for one mentality, that rebellious quality and the absolute driven urge to be something so different whether it was accepted or not.

"I still have many early video footage recordings of the three of us where we just laughed sometimes for no other reason than just being silly, our sense of humor was an acquired taste.
I thank you all for the countless messages and as I've said, despite the history, the arguments, the name-calling, the ups and downs and the dysfunctional manner of this band, this hits hard.

"I shall speak to you tomorrow, my friends.

"Rest in power, Conrad Cronos Lant."

Off the latest album released this year: LAY DOWN YOUR SOUL And Cronos still has it. Like it's 1982! Brilliant!



Thank you Cronos. Rock In Power!!!

Lead singer weirdly sounds like Klaus Meine from Scorpions to me.

Andy Bell (Brilliant Artist) + Vince Clarke (Brilliant Artist) = Erasure

I never had the pleasure to meet SASS JORDAN, but from 1992 to 1996, I knew that she was friends and collaborator with people like Richie Kotzen and Stevie Salas. I am sure we were at NAMM at those times, but never ran into each other or met. Which makes this even more painful.


Sarah "Sass" Jordan

December 23, 1960 – October 2, 2026


Sass passed away last Friday after last week's videos and even though I never heard her music before or have any of her albums ( I think STEVIE SALAS' ELECTRIC POWWOW album is probably the only thing I have with her on it, as a guest). I did feel the need to pay my respects and to honor her great career, even though she was NOT a household name. In fact she hired a very young drummer by the name of TAYLOR HAWKINS to be in her band back in the 90's. As Taylor has been quoted as saying; "It was Sass, who gave me my first paycheck for playing rock n' roll".


And the rest is history.


Rest in Peace Sass, try not to play too LOUD you and Taylor.

Think Peter was paying homage to Curly's bout with the Raw Oyster Stew.

DARE is the band that keyboardist DARREN DEAN WHARTON, formed after THIN LIZZY broke up. Darren was in Lizzy from 1979 to 1984. Here on their first album ( 1988) OUT OF THE SILENCE is the single ABANDON. very AOR-80ish and why not? A sign of the times, and in one from or another DARE is still thriving over in Blighty & Europe. Check em out!

Dun dun dun! Attack of the Bunnymen!

I really, really NEED to be Sanctified by St. McCartney. It's been a Schetty week and an almost Schetty month.



"I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear"...



From 1983 from the album of the same name


PIPES OF PEACE Sir Paul. Nuff said.
