Chris has discovered the Hair Metal Essentials playlist on Apple Music.

Today was repping Stryper, but tomorrow will be time to promote the release of Les Carlsen’s new album, “He’s Coming!”

I unapologetically love the opening of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail to the King,” the way they build it one instrument at a time, layering one on another, until you get Johnny’s bass dropping just over 50 seconds in. Great stuff.

Like, I already don’t understand how you could listen to @TheDollyrots and not get a smile on your face, but if you watch them just being themselves and don’t grin, brother, you need to get out more! youtu.be/QpKL5Jcm0…

And with zero apologies to U2, the better cover of “Helter Skelter” belongs to the Crüe.

Got it in my head to listen to some Crüe while working today. Apple Music has the 2021 remaster of Shout at the Devil, and let me tell you, “Looks That Kill” still kicks major butt.

Moreso with cleaned up production.

Mad props to all my GenX Stars fans continuing to belt out “Livin’ On a Prayer” when @ShippySpins is forced to cut the audio at the rink. #LetsGoStars

Stryper’s To Hell With the Devil…

It was a great mail day.

Love seeing Pete living his best life. What an inspiration this young man is.
