Hi there!

Got some blistering tracks for you this week. Lots of requests to get though of course, plus I’m gonna crank it up just a tad by throwing down some Fu Manchu, Nirvana, Church Of Misery and Orange Goblin just to get it hard ‘n’ sweaty.

Be sure to join in with the chat and comment on our Facebook Group during the ‘live’ broadcast from 7pm tonight ~ www.facebook.com/groups/theclassicrockshow

Ready then?

Check out Sandi Thom’s version of #GunsNRoses November Rain @Sandi_Thom. We love it! What’s your fave rock cover version?

Hello there!

As mentioned during a show a few weeks ago, I’ve really enjoyed listening to Sandi Thom’s version of a Guns ‘N’ Roses classic, taken from her album called ‘The Covers Collection’. It’s an album crammed full of her interpretations of some of the greatest rock classics; including Heart’s ‘Alone’, ‘Times Like These’ by the Foo Fighters, ‘Black Velvet’ by Alannah Myles, Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’ and Led Zeppelin’s ‘The Rain Song’, to name but a few.

This got me thinking; it’s been a good while since I put together a Classic Rock Show ‘Cover Versions’ Special. When these have been aired these in the past, a good few surprises have been heard amongst those that are perhaps more familiar to our ears. Each show has always gone down a storm.

I’m putting on another of those ‘Covers’ show for you on Thursday, February 13th at 7pm.

So, tell me, what are your fave rock cover versions? Add them to the comment box below and if I’ve got the track available, it’ll be put in the pot for Thursday’s show.

Cheers!

PS: Sandi Thom begins her 2014 World Tour in April. For more information, click here. I’ll be interviewing Sandi ahead of the tour – more details on that next month.

Thanks for sending in your requests! #classicrock

Hi there Thursday night rockers!

Over the past couple of days, you’ve been posting up requests to be entered on to this week’s playlist. We’ve got ’em all in now and it has to be said that they are looking very much like a fine collection of top notch tunes.

‘The Classic Rock Show’ – 7pm, January 23 – continues to be built around what you want to hear. Thanks to each and every one of you for taking the trouble to send them in. I can’t wait to get them played for you!

Gonna be kickin’ it hard tomorrow night w/ @Skindred @Soiltheband @VizaMusic @Fuckshovel @Hellyeah @Eisbrecher

Hey, what’s up rockers?!

Tomorrow night’s playlist contains all your requests and much more. I’ll be playing tracks from three bands that I’m very much looking forward to seeing next week – all three are appearing on the same bill.

Headliners Skindred begin their ‘Kill The Power’ UK Tour up at the Norwich UEA on January 22nd…I for one am eagerly awaiting their new album set to be released at the end of January. Skindred will be ably supported by SOiL and Viza who have always been offered a warm welcome when they reach these shores; both bands have seemingly unlimited amounts of energy and enthusiasm.

We’re used to playing the odd Rammstein track on The Classic Rock Show, but Eisbrecher are amongst my favourite Tanz Metal bands, turning out great albums and live performances, but get seemingly little recognition or airplay over here in the UK. I’ll be addressing that with a track off their last album. Not only that, we’ve some hard and heavy, badass rock ‘n’ roll from Hellyeah and Fuckshovel.

Blackberry Smoke, Nine Inch Nails, Manfred Mann, Nazareth, White Zombie, Mastadon, Marillion, Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy are just a few of the many we’ll be hearing from this Thursday, 7pm www.theclassicrockshow.co.uk

See you tomorrow night!!
