Alive and Kicking

This nice one from Simple Minds takes me back to a good time , when music was pure ...music.

I was just entering high school at the time that one was a smashing hit.

At first it sounds to me like U2 song - yet it is great Simple Minds.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

Who's gonna save you?

I can dream about you

The movie 'Streets of Fire' is one of the greatest films of the last decade.


This fun song is from the soundtrack of it.


great memory...

The Shadows - Apache

The Shadows are an English instrumental and vocal rock and roll group from the 50's .

"Apache" is an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan.

It has been recorded by many artists, but the first released version was recorded by British group The Shadows in June 1960 and released the following month.

The song topped the UK singles chart for five weeks.

I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood...

There are certain singers whose voices I never tire of.

No one else can sound like them.

e.g Van Morrison, Prince, Joe Cocker, the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones...and Neil Young.

I this rare clip Neil digs around in his pockets trying to find the right harp and then plays a new song...Heart of Gold.

Classic in lie show...

Guns N' Roses are back in business

The band, whose only remaining original member is frontman Axl Rose, have not released any new material since 'Use Your Illusion' I and II in 1991.

Despite this, the release of the new album "Chinese Democracy" is sure to generate huge interest as fans discover for themselves what Rose has been toiling over.

The album is great !!

Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses (Live in Paris):

Kid's Rock summer

The album has been steadily climbing the charts in recent weeks, thanks to the smash single “All Summer Long”.

The song incorporates elements of Warren Zevon’s 1978 hit “Werewolves of London” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1974 signature tune “Sweet Home Alabama,” and is a wistful tale of childhood summers spent Up North fishing, drinking and chasing girls.


Watch the new hit ' All Summer Long ' :

Lou Gramm is one of the best american rock lead vocalists.

Legendary Debbie Harry to Israel this July !!

Blondie, Debbie Harry's band, will perform at the Raanana Park on July 3 celebrating 30 years since their first album, "Parallel Lines".

The career of the pop-rock band Blondie was short but their music is of such a quality that more than 25 years later, Blondie's music is still successful, the mark of gifted artists.

We will be there!!

Swinging 60's in Israel – In May 2008 !!

The British bands The Animals, Marmalade, and Herman’s Hermits, will perform in Israel as part of a huge rock concert to be held in the city of Afula.

The bands revolutionized the British, and international, music scene.

The Animals got famous with hits as “The House of the Rising Sun”, “It’s My Life” and “We Gotta Get Out of this Place”.

Marmalade, with hits such as “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", which was remade by The Beatles, as well as “Reflections of My Life.”

Last but not least, Herman’s Hermits, with hits such as “No Milk Today” and “There’s a Kind of Hush”.

We will be there!!

Marmalade - Reflections Of My Life



Hermans Hermits - Theres a kind of hush



Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun

Get Over It - My Side Of The Story...

Guillemots !

I've been a massive fan of theirs for years.

If you haven't heard their first album, "Through The Windowpane", go get it.

This is a great song from Guillemots.

Earth Wind & Fire - Groove !!

Those were the days where it didn't matter how old you were, if you wanted to dance to it, you were loved by everyone.

Nowadays people judge on appearance and labels .

Too bad the progression of good black music is now nonsense rap....

Green Day - New Album In 2008

This Band has really something special to offer.
They are going back in studio to record a new album coming out sometime in 2008.
They recently released the new single Working Class Hero, which is a cover first released by John Lennon.
MusicBlog Hopes that it will happen soon.

Watch "Boulevard of Broken Dreams":

Sir Phill Collins

Can’t understand why Phil Collins hasn't been knighted.

In my opinion, he is on par with Sir Elton John.
His song, "Another Day In Paradise" talks about homelessness.
We don't hear much about that issue in music. In my opinion, his rendition of "True Colors" is better than Cyndi Lauper's with the Collins touch.
The beautiful song "Two Hearts" Is worth at least an Oscar.
Phil's voice is outstanding tool and has a great range from pop rock to smooth ballads like "Against All Odds" and "I Wish It Would Rain Down".
Another anecdote - Phil appeared in The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night as one of hundreds of screaming teenagers during the climactic concert sequence.

Cream - Star Factory

It's rather amusing to think that Cream formed over 40 years ago.

They were so revolutionary, just about everything they did left a huge influence on rock bands to come.

Ginger Baker is an insane drummer, and was one of, if not the very first, to use a double bass drum.

Jack Bruce invented and perfected that fade-in bass technique and Eric Clapton...well, when you hear the man rip it out , you know these guys were something special.

Cream were a very good hard rock band that influenced many other hard rock bands.

You can listen to Cream over and over again and never get bored.

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

" Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven "

This lyrics was written by Eric Clapton after his son's Conor Death at the age of 4.5 years old.

Conor fell from a New York apartment building because his nanny had left the window open.

The song is very touchy and sad.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory ?

Linkin Park was originally called "Hybrid Theory" but when they found out that there's already a band called "Hybrid" so they didn't want to go through legal stuff, so they changed their name to Linkin Park.

First album "Hybrid Theory" was a succes.

Thier "new" album's called "Meteora".

Personally, Linkin Park's one of my favourite bands. They have pretty decent music and good music video clips.

David Bowie & Mick's Jagger Hair

Back In 1963, David Bowie saw the Rolling Stones open for Little Richard .

He recalled that show and someone heard him say:

"The Stones were so funny. They had, like, only four fans at that time who rushed down the aisles to the front. These four chicks in the front there.. It was so funny..

"And some guy - I'll never forget this - some guy in the audience looked at Mick Jagger and said :
'Get your hair cut!'…

And Mick shouted back:

'What, and look like you?'

It was so funny! We just collapsed in our seats!"

Like A Rolling Stone...

The Rolling stones are performing since 1964 and they are very popular around the globe.

There are rumours about a Rolling Stones show in Tel Aviv Israel.

If the plans do work out, the show would be at the Park Hayarkon TA during this September (2007).

40,000 people will be there, thats for sure...
