The journey into music videos (and other bits) continues its mission to deliver something worthy of your time, perhaps introducing you to something new along the way.
This week I continue compiling videos and various musical related tid-bits for your viewing pleasure. Some will be brand spanking new, while others will just be things I like. I am not great with timeliness, but I hope you've been enjoying these video collections.
Nitro - "Freight Train"
Here is a band that defies explanation. Michael Angelo Batio is one the fastest guitarists around and Jim Gillette has a range that is beyond belief. As songwriters however, Nitro are awful. However, I absolutely love the O.F.R. album and all of its excess. The solos, the screams, the shredding, it just grabs me and does not let go. Take a look at the video for "Freight Train" and tell me that this is not fun. I have a hard time taking it seriously, but it is a great tune.
Lamb of God - Tune Widget w/ "Contractor"
Lamb of God has a new widget out to promote the upcoming February release of Wrath. It has video clips, tunes, pictures, and more info on the band. It features the song "Contractor," a tune that is heavier than pretty much anything on Sacrament. I am looking forward to this release.
Europe - "Wish You Were Here" and "Got to Have Faith"
Earlier this year Europe released an acoustic live performance that was recorded in early 2008. It featured classics as well as tunes from their recent Secret Society album. I always enjoyed these guys. Yes, I know they are not great and were likely manipulated in those hair metal days, but they had an impact on my early music listening. In any case, they have re-issued the album on a very limited vinyl record. Below are a couple of videos from the show.
