RANDOM THOUGHTS

• This is an awesome rock album. Let's talk about The Big 4 right away, because this album contains four of the pantheon Motley Crue songs: "Dr. Feelgood", "Kickstart My Heart", "Same Ol' Situation", and "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)". They're hall-of-famers, and it's not uncommon for someone to say one of those four is their all-time favorite Crue song. I won't spend much time on them, but I like them all and "S.O.S." and "Don't Go Away Mad" are both in my personal Top 3 Crue Songs. The strength of The Big 4 alone makes this album worth a full spin. 

• As you might expect, this Crue album has tons of attitude. Sandwiched in between all the hits, songs like "Sticky Sweet", "She Goes Down", and "Rattlesnake Shake" are swaggering rockers with foot-stomping drum beats. "She Goes Down" is a fun song with a ripping guitar solo and sing-along chorus. "Rattlesnake Shake" is another tune that will have you pumping your fist by the time it's over. "Slice of Your Pie" is kind of interesting, starting out with a hot guitar lick before devolving into a slower riff at the end. If you put this album on, you'll get a steady stream of kick ass rock and roll. 

• Lots of stars listed in the liner notes for background vocals on this album: Steven Tyler, Robin Zander, and Rick Nielsen (among others) appear on "She Goes Down", while Bryan Adams, Jack Blades, and others, sing on "Sticky Sweet". That's pretty awesome.  

• I've never really liked "Without You", for whatever reason, and usually skip it. The first track (a 45-second intro) and last track (a slow song) on this album are also skip-worthy, but the rest of the songs are all good to great. 

• As a whole, this Motley Crue album is stronger than Shout at the Devil and might be their best ever. 

FAVORITE TRACKS... The Big 4, plus: "She Goes Down", "Rattlesnake Shake", "Sticky Sweet"

WORTH LISTENING TO? Um, it's Motley Crue... What kind of stupid question is that?

Top 10 Favorite He-Man Characters

By
When I was a kid, I loved He-Man . The cartoon, the action figures, and the phrase "By the power of Grayskull" were all a big part of my day. Here are my Top 10 favorite He-Man characters.  Now I'm not counting the main characters here, like He-Man, Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, or the lovely, lovely Teela... ahem, so um, just the secondary-type characters and such. Here we go: 1. Moss Man • His action figure was sticky and it smelled like shit. When you're a kid, that's a good thing. Moss Man 2. Mer-Man • If you didn't like Mer-Man when we were growing up, we probably didn't hang out much. Mer-Man 3. Two-Bad • The action figure was completely indestructible. Two-Bad is a bad-ass. Two-Bad 4. Stinkor • His special power was smelling so bad it could actually maim someone. I'm all in. Stinkor 5. Man-E-Faces • One of the coolest characters ever; He could be a human, a robot, or a demon. " His strong

Green Day Rock Out With New Track, "Father Of All..."

By
Green Day - "Father Of All..." Green Day has an amazing knack for writing songs that both, a) sound like nothing they've done before, and b) sound like classic Green Day the moment you hear it. And they've done it again with their latest single, "Father Of All...", the title track from their upcoming album due out February 7, 2020. The new track takes the slightly-controlled chaos of the Foxboro Hot Tubs and smashes it up with a rip-roaring chorus, where the guitars double as buzz saws that not-so-much slice but carve the melody into your head, where it will stay; This is a tune you'll be humming for days. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone that he "wanted to do something different," but if the song "Father Of All..." is any indication, there's one thing about Green Day's new album that is definitely not going to change: it's going to rock. by Nate Spade   Follow @nate_spade

G-League Rising

By
NBA D-League MVP Vander Blue / Photo: NBA.com The NBA's minor league could be bigger than college hoops within 10 years if it just makes one change... I'm bullish on the NBA G-League. It's expanding to 26 teams next season, with the Bucks, Grizzlies, Hawks, and Clippers being the latest NBA teams to add a minor league affiliate to develop their young players. Existing, unaffiliated minor league teams are also being scooped up, and soon every NBA team will have it's own G-League franchise. And that's when things will get fun. Minor league basketball will soon be like minor league baseball... except way better. While minor league baseball has multiple levels (Rookie ball, AA, AAA) the G-League will be all AAA, stocked with players on the brink of the big-time. Soon the nation's top high-school recruits won't be one-and-done's at Duke or Kentucky, they'll be going pro in the G-League. All the league needs to do is give it's players
