Now THIS is what I've been waiting for! I missed him last time he was near me & that won't happen again. Can't believe this guy was in Poison of all bands. That was like hiding a 10 carat ring is a giant pink turd.

Even better, as I'm sure you're aware, Kotzen managed to get the sack there for having an affair with Rikki Rocket's missus. He didn't even get to leave over 'musical differences'.

To be fair, the album he recorded with Poison was actually pretty good.

From Classic Rock Revisited's news page:


Gregg Allman has cancelled all of the dates for his live schedule for 2017. No details were provided for the reason behind the cancellations, which included performances in Macon, GA., Atlanta, GA. Chattanooga, TN, Robinsonville, MS, and a 10-show residency at City Winery in New York City in July that was rescheduled from last fall due to a vocal injury.

"It has been determined that Gregg will not be touring in 2017," reads a statement on his official website. "For those of you who purchased tickets for shows in June, contact the ticket outlet from where you purchased the tickets for a refund."

Allman said the following at the time of the City Winery shows cancelation, "Not making a show is a really hard decision for me because I want to play so bad, but it's also hard on my partners and fans who make plans to be with me.

"I never want to put anybody in a bad spot. I'm so grateful for the people that I work with and for the fans that come to my shows and I want to be at my best for all of them.

"That means I'm going to have to wait until I'm feeling really good, not just good enough like I have been. Good enough isn't working for us all."

You can check out the official video for the newly recorded version of Metal Church's Fake Healer (featuring Queensryche's Todd La Torre with singer Mike Howe) via this YouTube link.

The new version is on their upcoming Classic Live album.

I'm not sure how I feel about this version, I think La Torre's vocals throw off the song a bit.

Damn! Howe's voice is STILL as powerful & distinctive as before. Didn't realize La Torre sounded so much like Geoff. Good choice for both bands.

You can check out the audio stream for the new Mastodon song "Andromeda" HERE!

Killer track & thank you for sharing.

Damn! Howe's voice is STILL as powerful & distinctive as before. Didn't realize La Torre sounded so much like Geoff. Good choice for both bands.

You didn't get Metal Church's latest album with how on the vocals? As for La Torre, he sounds TOO much like Tate. While the most recent Queensryche album was surprisingly good, the fact that La Torre sings like he's fronting a tribute band continues to annoy the hell out of me. Though I've had people telling me that I should let it go.

Killer track & thank you for sharing.

No problem. I'm glad you liked it. Sadly, I can't say the same.
