The 90s wasn’t the est era for heavy metal, but Tool was one of the few bright spots. And they made some creepy videos, perfect for Halloween: The video for “Prison Sex” takes on a far more sinister tone when you listen to the lyrics: “You’re breathing so I guess you’re still alive, even if […]

Maybe the “Defund The Police” Leftists have a point. Before you open with the flames, hear me out. Before we go any further, let’s clarify what Defund the Police (DTF) actually means. In June of 2020, the Minneapolis City Council, who voted to defund their police department, hired their own taxpayer funded security detail. A month […]
It’s October, and time for Halloween music, so let’s kick off with some Glenn Danzig! First, it’s a long way back from Hell: Danzig IV: White Devil Rise is a very unappreciated album – I think that The Stalker Song is one of the most powerful tracks from it: And the lead track from Danzig […]
Yes, this movie’s been out for a while but faithful readers know that things have been crazy in Bobville and that I’m dropping this in place of The Week in Radical Leftism while I catch some much needed R&R (Note: I wrote this alond a few other posts over the summer. I’ll be dropping them […]
Labor Day calls for all of our hard work! First off, this anthem from Rush: Neil Young may be some pinko maple chugger (jk to our friends north of the border, eh?), but this is a great working man song: And finally, Devo puts a New Wave spin on a Lee Dorsey classic: Who ya […]
There are some great songs that were once staples of FM radio. Now they’ve been mostly memory holed by FM Program Directors who think that Nirvana, Collective Soul, and REM are classic rock. I get that classic rock needs to evolve with the times, but would it hurt to acknowledge the existence of bands like […]
It’s about that time, so let’s get to it! First off, Jim Morrison points out the obvious: The 80s movie “Teachers” was kind of like this song from its soundtrack – good, but not memorable. It also feels like if either had tried a bit harder each could have been great: And let’s round out […]
Welcome back! This is the time of year where we go on vacation and Sister Babe accuses me of becoming my parents when I start getting into 70s music. I tell her it’s mainly because I associate these tunes with my personal era of big family vacations now that I’m doing it again, only this […]
Welcome back, Stratoloungers! As a sequel to last week’s video featuring some of The Garden State’s greatest, this week we return with a focus on the hard rock/metal genre! Let’s jump right in: OK, I know what you’re thinking. A member of Bon Jovi covering one of Hendrix’s greatest songs? Like me, your initial reaction […]
While I’m still avoiding the news as much as possible until the end of summer (and you’re seeing me a lot less in the comments), I’m still going to keep dialing up vidoes. During the long rides that were part of this summer’s vacation, when nothing good was on the radio I’d tune into the […]
Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since the first time I got to see Slayer live in one of the greatest concerts of my life. For those of you unfamiliar, 1991 was probably heavy metal’s peak. In one direction you had the glam metal bands roaming the Top 40 – think Poison, Winger, Bon […]
I learned something last night. Before heading out for vacation I wrote up a few posts so I could just drop them on the appropriate day and forget about it. So last night I threw the switch to make my post live and… nothing on the home page. I check my blog posts and it […]
You won’t see me for the next two weeks as I take a much needed unplugging, but I haven’t forgotten my fellow Stratoloungers. I’ve prepped a few FNV’s before cutting out so all I’ll need to do is publish the next two weekends. I’ll see you back in the comments at the end of the […]
‘Murica, Baby! Let’s drop a few celebrating the greatest country ever created! I thought of posting that Nirvana unplugged song but it’s too much 90s downer. Instead let’s dial up some Diamond Dave with his song about what Chuck Klosterman described as “How Dave wanted to f*** The Statue of Liberty”: Charlie Daniels has some […]
Let’s dial up some good summer tunes that don’t get a lot of airplay. First from the 60’s, some Blue Cheer: From the 70s, Mungo Jerry: From the 80s, let’s shift genres: And from the 90s, a great instrumental from Satriani: Who ya got?
