3 New Tesla “Twisted Wires” Coming Soon!

  • May 9, 2011

  • · Entertainment · Hard Rock Music · Hard Rock News · Music

TESLA is releasing a new album titled  “TWISTED WIRES & the acoustic sessions…” this July of 2011. The self produced album of 12 songs features two new unreleased songs called “Second Street”, and “Better Off Without You”, as well as never before heard recordings of the last acoustic studio sessions with former original guitarist Tommy Skeoch from 2005.

The aptly titled album is not only called “TWISTED WIRES & the acoustic sessions…” for the way Tesla has always seemed to seamlessly blend acoustic and electric guitar sounds in their music, but is also descriptive of the bands continuous and tumultuous ride over the past 25 years, overcoming the ups and downs of rock and roll.

From the band that sparked the “unplugged” craze of the 90’s with “5 Man Acoustic Jam”, and the radical electric guitar riffs of “Modern Day Cowboy” featured on the latest Guitar Hero game, now comes “TWISTED WIRES & the acoustic sessions…” a creative mix of past and present, as well as a classic rendition of  Climax Blues Band’s “I Love You” which so happens to be the first song TESLA recorded together after reuniting from a painful 5 year break up.

Take a spin of the new disc by TESLA and enjoy the celebration of 25 years with America’s gritty blue collar band of survivors who still rocks today, and will for another 25 years!

Duff McKagan’s Loaded:  Second CD Re-Released In Double-Disc CD/DVD Format

With the wild buzz of Duff McKagan’s Loaded’s new CD The Taking (released April 19), Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its Armoury Records subsidiary, is re-issuing a special edition of the band’s second album Sick on May 24 [MSRP $15.98].
 
The album, originally released in 2009 to critical acclaim, strikes a precarious balance at the juncture of metal, punk and grunge. The specially-packaged double-disc comes complete with two additional bonus tracks on the CD—“Roll Away” and an acoustic version of “Wasted Heart”—plus a 94-minute bonus DVD featuring the band in full force from The Garage in 2008 Glasgow, Scotland. The DVD also features the band’s “No More” music video and five “webisodes,” four on the making of Sick and one of the ‘08 UK tour.
Originally formed in 1998, Loaded is fronted by Grammy/American Music Award-winning songwriter/recording artist/bassist Duff McKagan – a founding member of Guns ‘N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver. With Duff stepping up to the front as lead vocalist and guitarist, bassist Jeff Rouse picks up the low end duties. Guitarist Mike Squires and drummer Geoff Reading round out the band line-up on Sick (Reading was replaced by drummer Isaac Carpenter before the release of The Taking).

0 Billion Dollar Babies – Die For Diamonds (2011)

Today at Hard Rock Hideout, we are going to do something that we have never done before.  We are going to review a CD from a band from……..wait for it…………  Sweden.  All kidding aside, Die For Diamonds is the new debut effort from Billion Dollar Babies.

Pure Steel Records calls this band a cross between Motley Crue and KISS. I wouldn’t call that a completely accurate description.  To my ears, Billion Dollar Babies sounds like a mix of Black N’ Blue,  The Poodles and Mamakin.  Whichever way you look at it, their new CD does rock.  The songs are a bunch of fun rockers that would make a very good Friday night party soundtrack.

Die for Diamonds is a solid debut for Billion Dollar Babies, and one that rock fans should take note of.

This CD is powered by the songs “Boys Night Out” (my personal favorite), “Lose It”, and “Key To My Heart”.  The songs are well written, catchy, and will likely appeal to most Swedish glam fans, and a bunch of 80’s hard rock fans as well.

You can learn more about the Billion Dollar Babies at the band’s website at this link. You can get a free download of the band’s new single “Highest Mountain” for free here.   Check them out!
