KISS, AC/DC Members Jam At NAMM | Video

Video footage of all-star Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy band featuring former members of KISS, AC/DC and WINGER performing THE ROLLING STONES classic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 15-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, can be viewed below.

Kulick wrote about the jam on his web site: "I was asked by the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp to be part of a jam gig for Bugera amps, made by a very large famous company called Behringer. Kip Winger was on bass and vocals, Mark Hudson on guitar and vocals, Earl Slick on guitar and Chris Slade on drums rounded out the all-star band, and we kicked off the pre-NAMM show with our songs Wednesday at the Hilton next to the convention center. We did BEATLES, AEROSMITH, LED ZEP, AC/DC etc., and the president of the company, Uli Behringer (who is a great keyboard player), got up and jammed along on some of the songs."

The band lineup for the jam was as follows:

Earl Slick (DAVID BOWIE, ROBERT SMITH, JOHN LENNON) - Lead Guitar
Mark Hudson (AEROSMITH, RINGO STARR, HANSON) – Guitar, Vocals
Kip Winger (WINGER) - Bass
Chris Slade (AC/DC, THE FIRM, DAVID GILMORE) - Drums
Bruce Kulick (KISS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD) - Guitar

SHADOWS FALL On NO GOOD TV; Video Interview

No Good TV has posted an interview with Massachusetts metallers SHADOWS FALL where they get drunk, curse a lot and talk about their music while NGTV's non-sequiter of a host, Shark Firestone, eggs them on.

Watch the five-minute clip below.

SHADOWS FALL recently received a Grammy nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" category for "Redemption", the first single from the band's newest release, "Threads of Life". This marked SHADOWS FALL's second Grammy nomination in the category, following the group's nod at the 2006 awards for "What Drives The Weak" off the Century Media release "The War Within".

SHADOWS FALL's overview of its years as a Century Media recording act (before signing with Atlantic for the U.S. and Roadrunner for Europe), "Seeking the Way: The Greatest Hits", was released in late October.

SHADOWS FALL will reissue its Century Media debut, "Of One Blood", on April 15.

A SHADOWS FALL B-side from the "Threads of Life" sessions called "Stupid Crazy" is included on the "Resident Evil: Extinction" soundtrack, which was released in September 2007 via Lakeshore Records.

BLACK TIDE: Official 'Shockwave' Video is here

After months of anticipation, Miami, Florida-based hard rock band BLACK TIDE has finally unveiled the video for its blazing single "Shockwave". The Travis Kopach-directed (BUCKCHERRY, PANIC! AT THE DISCO) directed clip finds the group turning a non-descript suburban home into a frenzy of moshing fans and skateboarders pulling tricks on a half-pipe! The motocross bad boys of the Metal Mulisha also make an appearance making this video a throwback to the glory days of '80s metal!

Watch the clip.


BLACK TIDE is streaming its entire debut album "Light from Above" on the group's imeem page (free registration required to hear full tracks). The CD, which was released today (March 18) via Interscope Records, was recorded with producer Johnny K, who has previously worked with DISTURBED, MACHINE HEAD and SOIL, among others.

BLACK TIDE burst onto the metal scene with a month-long stint opening up the main stage of Ozzfest. According to a press release, the band "not only embrace the charisma, character and unwavering attitude of those who shredded before them, but they do so in a manner that would make the virtuosos that inspired them proud. The results are a renegade metallic assault that America hasn't encountered since METALLICA killed 'em all in '83. BLACK TIDE are not only bringing music back from the dead, but they're returning the power to metal. The meltdown is long overdue…"
