Death Metal

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida, formed in 1983. Widely considered one of the most influential bands in the genre and important in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots, they were one of the first bands to incorporate guttural vocals, up-tempo blast beats, multiple tempo changes and a dark atmosphere. They were the first death metal band to experience mainstream success in connection with being signed to Giant Records in 1992 and heavy rotation of their music videos on MTV. Their first three albums are considered classics in the genre.

Grunge Rock

Mad Season was an American rock supergroup formed in 1994 as a side project of members of other bands in the Seattle grunge scene. The band's principal members included guitarist Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, lead singer Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, drummer Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, and bassist John Baker Saunders. The band released only one album, 'Above', in March 1995. It was certified a gold record by the RIAA in June. The band went on a semi-permanent hiatus in 1996 due to the band members' conflicting schedules and Staley's problems with substance abuse. Attempts were made in the late 1990s to revive the group with Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan instead of Staley, and material for a follow-up release to Above had been worked on. The band permanently dissolved in 1999 following the death of bassist John Baker Saunders from a drug overdose. Staley would also die from an overdose three years later. Martin and McCready have since made two short partial reunions, one in 2012 and one from 2014 to 2015.

'Appetite For Democracy' is a live concert film and album. It was recorded at The Joint at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas on November 21, 2012, on the tenth night of their residency, as part of the Appetite For Democracy Tour in celebration of twenty-five years of 'Appetite For Destruction' and four years of 'Chinese Democracy'. The cover art features part of the original banned cover art from 'Appetite For Destruction'.

Guns n' Roses is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in March 1985 when local bands Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns merged. With their stylistic mix of punk rock, blues rock and heavy metal, the band helped move mainstream rock away from the glam metal era of the mid-late 1980s. In their early years, the band's hedonism and rebelliousness drew comparisons to the early Rolling Stones and earned them the nickname "the most dangerous band in the world". Significant controversy followed the band due to late show starts and riots (notably the 1991 Riverport riot), lyrics perceived as problematic, Rose's outspoken persona, several other member's drug and alcohol abuse issues, lawsuits, and public feuds with other artists. Several members of the band are considered some of the best in their fields with Rose considered one of the best vocalists, Slash as one of the best guitarists and McKagan as one of the best bassists by various publications. Guns n' Roses were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012, and have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including 45 million in the United States, making them one of the best-selling acts in history.

Classic Rock

George Harrison (25 February 1943 - 29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. He embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in The Beatles' work. After The Beatles disbanded, Harrison released the triple album All Things Must Pass (1970), a critically acclaimed work that introduced his signature sound as a solo artist, the slide guitar. He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid. A lifelong smoker, Harrison died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 58, two years after surviving a knife attack by an intruder at his home.

12 May 1989
Death Metal

'Altars Of Madness' is the debut studio album by Morbid Angel. The album was recorded in December 1988 at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida. The album is one of the earliest examples of death metal and is considered to have helped pioneer the sound along with Possessed's 'Seven Churches' in 1985 and Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' in 1987, and set a new precedent for heaviness and extremity, both musically and lyrically. It is one of the most celebrated albums in death metal, and one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time.

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida, formed in 1983. Widely considered one of the most influential bands in the genre and important in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots, they were one of the first bands to incorporate guttural vocals, up-tempo blast beats, multiple tempo changes and a dark atmosphere. They were the first death metal band to experience mainstream success in connection with being signed to Giant Records in 1992 and heavy rotation of their music videos on MTV. Their first three albums are considered classics in the genre.

Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide

[E.P.; Live]
16 December 1986
Hard Rock

'Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide' is the debut E.P. by Guns n' Roses. The record itself was reportedly limited to only 10,000 copies, released only in vinyl and cassette formats. The tracks were later re-released along with four new songs on the E.P. 'G N' R Lies' (1988).

Guns n' Roses is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in March 1985 when local bands Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns merged. With their stylistic mix of punk rock, blues rock and heavy metal, the band helped move mainstream rock away from the glam metal era of the mid-late 1980s. In their early years, the band's hedonism and rebelliousness drew comparisons to the early Rolling Stones and earned them the nickname "the most dangerous band in the world". Significant controversy followed the band due to late show starts and riots (notably the 1991 Riverport riot), lyrics perceived as problematic, Rose's outspoken persona, several other member's drug and alcohol abuse issues, lawsuits, and public feuds with other artists. Several members of the band are considered some of the best in their fields with Rose considered one of the best vocalists, Slash as one of the best guitarists and McKagan as one of the best bassists by various publications. Guns n' Roses were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012, and have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including 45 million in the United States, making them one of the best-selling acts in history.

George Harrison (25 February 1943 - 29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. He embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in The Beatles' work. After The Beatles disbanded, Harrison released the triple album All Things Must Pass (1970), a critically acclaimed work that introduced his signature sound as a solo artist, the slide guitar. He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid. A lifelong smoker, Harrison died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 58, two years after surviving a knife attack by an intruder at his home.
