Thursday has come around so quick, right? Well, we don’t mind that at all….oh no!
Some of you like to know what we’re up to later, so here’s just a little taste of what we’ve got lined up for the show tonight:
Motorhead, Metallica, Ratt, Warrant, Keel, Lion, Queensryche, Enuff Z’nuff, Little Angels, Massive, Alter Bridge, Pearl Jam, Delain, Nazareth, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Axel Rudi Pell, The Temperance Movement.
As well as the weekly ‘Roll Call’ feature, we’ll be announcing two dates to put in your diary:
The next Classic Rock Show ’80s Special’. Part 2 (in our series of 10 shows that takes us year by year through the Rock decade that totally rocked) will be 1981!
Another date to look out for is one we’ve set for a welcome back into the studio ex-Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey. As well as catching up on Alan’s to’ings and fro’ings, we’ll have a couple of World Exclusive’s to play which are set for release in 2015!
PLUS…we’ll have news on my interview with Delain’s Charlotte Wessels.
Thursday proved itself to be another one of those nights on ‘The Classic Rock Show’. You know the ones; great music, great company and everyone having a great time.
Thanks for making it.
Here’s the playlist. Had goodness knows how many requests played during the show. Everyone of them top notch.
The Classic Rock Show playlist 10th July 2014
Next week’s show will include your requests once again (look out for the ‘Request-line’ which will open tomorrow (Sunday July 12th) at Midday. Plus, we’ll be announcing the winner of our ‘Massive’ Competition which is running at the moment – entry details here.
With thanks to the guys in the band Massive and our friends at Earache Records, we’re giving you a chance to win a CD of Massive’s debut album ‘Full Throttle’ which has been revamped with four new recordings and is out July 21st.
‘Full Throttle’ is a breakneck all killer, no filler record which is brimming with attitude. Tracks like “One By One” fuse aggressive and anthemic choruses with fun-filled solos whilst the bass-heavy, testosterone-soaked “Dancefloor” is more sweaty circle pit than glitzy ballroom. The menace and grit of the band comes out in tracks like “Big Trend Setter”, which is an egotistical explosion of pure rock ‘n’ roll arrogance. “Now or Never” is a white-knuckle joyride with enough G-force to make your head spin, and the middle-finger-to-the-man numbers like “Hollywood” will whip up any crowd into an anarchic frenzy.
Musically, the band keep it simple and direct, with high-energy tunes set around infectious, rabble-rousing choruses that bring out the rabid rock ‘n’ rollers in the most sterile of crowds.
Massive have already been featured on the front of Classic Rock Magazine and they recently stepped into the studio to record 4 more songs to add to “Full Throttle”, including two new tunes and covers of AC/DC’s “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and Aerosmith’s “Rats in the Cellar”.
The band have also confirmed their first visit to Europe, beginning with a slot at the Hard Rock Hell festival in November. We’ve also heard that Massive will be looking to play a few additional gigs around the UK while they’re over.
Enter the competition by answering a simple question about Massive’s new album and if you’re correct, you could be in with a chance of winning a copy of ‘Full Throttle’!
Only entries submitted through this form will be accepted:-
The competition will close on Thursday, July 17th, 9pm (UK time): The lucky winner will be announced shortly after the competition closes, live ‘on-air’, during next week’s show. Sorry, but this competition is open to UK residents only.
Another week flies by and here we are once again…just a few hours away from showtime.
On tonight’s show, we’ve got all your requests to play, plus a few tracks from bands who released albums this week back in the day, and we’ll see if we can fit in one or two songs which feature artists who would be celebrating their birthdays.
We’re following last week’s Black Stone Cherry competition with another; one which features Aussie band Massive, and a chance to win a CD of their debut album ‘Full Throttle’ (out July 21st on Earache Records), revamped with four new recordings. The competition will open at 8pm tonight – look out for more details on that later on.
All this and much, much more besides, including something from the new Judas Priest album ‘Redeemer Of Souls’, Deep Purple, Night Ranger, David Lee Roth, Night Ranger, Faster Pussycat, Megadeth, W.A.S.P., Saxon, Quiet Riot, Bon Jovi, Status Quo, Budgie, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Guns N’ Roses, Killswitch Engage, Kingdom Come…phew!
Hi-octane rockers Massive stake their claim for greatness with their debut album “Full Throttle”.
Displaying a work ethic worthy of any of their Aussie compatriots, Massive think nothing of regularly traveling a thousand miles across Australia for a single show, and often return home battered and bruised. Their war stories are littered with live shows abruptly pulled by frightened security, or venues cutting the power mid-set. A self-funded trip to tour the West Coast of America involved avoiding arrest for bringing back most of the crowd from one of the shows to their hotel for an after-hours party.
