Earlier works..

Hello!

I noticed that I haven't really talked about any of the bands that formed in the late 1900's and the early 2000's, so I've decided to talk about a band called DragonForce.

My friend told me about this band when I lived in Canada. I wanted tell you about them today because I think that they have amazing guitar solos and songs.

This band formed in 1999 by a British Chinese guitarist named Herman Li and Sam Totman. They only made four albums, since they formed in 1999.

 One of their most famous song is called "Through the Fire and Flames."

Enojoy!

Torture Device!!!!!

Hello! How are you doing? Today I'll be talking about a torture device made in 1793 called the iron virgin/ maiden. I'm just joking! Why would I be talking about a torture device when this blog is all about rock! But I will be talking about the band called Iron Maiden.

This band formed in 1975 by a bassist name Steve Harris. They made a total of 31 albums and was one of the successful bands.

They sold 85million copies of their albums worldwide. Their latest album was made in August 13th, 2010 and was called "Final Frontier".
This music has an amazing music video enjoy!

My Favorite Band #4

I totally forgot to tell you people about my fourth favorite band! I know that you know this band. It is Metallica.

Metallica first formed in 1981, when  Lars Ulrich (drummer) put an advertisement on a local newspaper.

This band has won vast amounts of awards and sold about 100million albums worldwide, which is the same amount that Guns N' Roses!

Some of their songs are "Seek and Destroy", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", and many more!
The song/album "Master of Puppets" was probably their best hit because this album was known as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums.

Please enjoy this song!

It's been a long time...

Hello rock lovers! I am sorry for not making any new posts. Lately I've been busy doing school projects and studying for exams.

A few days ago I watched a movie named "Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny." In the beginning of the movie a man named Ronnie James Dio comes out as JB's (Jack Black) idol, so I looked him up and he had some good songs.

Ronnie James Dio was born in 1942 and passed away a few months ago on May 16th, 2010 of cancer at the age of 64. Ronnie Dio started forming bands in his freshman year in University, but he started his musical career in 1957. His first band was called The Vegas Kings.
The band changed their names several times. The name went from Ronnie and the Rumblers to Ronnie and the Redcaps and from Ronnie and the Redcaps to Ronnie Dio and The Prophets. In 1976 the band disbanded after several members leaving from the band for some other bands.

Later on Dio joined three bands and formed two bands:
  • He joined Elf in 1969.
  • He joined Rainbow in 1975.
  • He joined Black Sabbath in 1979.
  • He formed his own band called Dio in 1982.
  • Finally Dio joined with Black Sabbath and made a band named Heaven & Hell in 2006.
The album Heaven & Hell was the last album made from Dio and Black Sabbath. I truly hope that Ronnie James Dio can be remembered as a legend for all the rock lovers out there.

This was one of the last song that Ronnie James Dio sang in and it is called "Atom of Evil" enjoy!
