For me, it was difficult to choose these songs, because I love almost all Iron Maiden’s songs. They’re my favorite heavy metal band of all time, and I will always be grateful to them since they were the first metal band that I heard (when I was 12), and thanks to that, I have fallen in love with the genre ever since. Of course, the list is a little selection, of what I think are…

Bon Jovi has always been one of my favorite bands. I know that a lot of people consider them a commercial, soft band, but for me, they represent positive thinking, and their music and lyrics give me strength when times get hard. When I feel down or when I’ve listened to some other darker bands, I have to listen to a couple of Bon Jovi’s songs to cheer me up again. I’ve seen them playing…
This year birthday Recently, I turned 41 and like the Iron Maiden’s song, Hallowed Be Thy Name, says “Reflecting on my past life, and it doesn’t have much time”, I was thinking of my journey so far and what I’m hoping to achieve in the time that I have left. Birthdays and other family celebrations like Christmas or New Year’s Eve have always had a bittersweet feeling for me, especially after my mom and grandparents…
Ein deutscher Steampunk Don Quijote Jeremias Meinhard ist ein deutscher Musiker, der sowohl musikalisch als auch visuell verschiedene Stile mischt. Vor ein paar Jahren habe ich Blutengel (eine deutsche Gothic-Band) entdeckt und dann ein Video von ihnen und Meinhard gesehen. Das Lied hieß „Kinder der Sterne“. Ich liebte das Video und den Song selbst, aber was mir ins Auge fiel, war dieser andere Sänger, ein sanfter, verrückter Wissenschaftler, ganz in Schwarz gekleidet, mit seltsamen…

English lead guitarist, he started his musical career with the supergroup The Yardbirds and then formed his own band The Jeff Beck Group.

I have always been intrigued by these larger-than-life female singers, who rapidly turn into Divas and celebrities worldwide famous, like Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Dua Lipa, among others. They get fantastic fame, do Tours, sell numerous records, and sometimes they even appear in some blockbuster movies, just to vanish in the air afterward. It makes me wonder, what was their goal, only fame, and money? (nothing wrong with that), because if it…
September 1st, 2022 Caupolican Theater, Chile It was a very cold winter night full of political turmoil because in a few more days there was going to be an election for the new Chilean Constitution (which sadly failed to be approved), so the mood was unease. Franklin (a Chilean rock band) was the opening act. At 21.00 the lights went off, and the stage illuminated itself, one by one starting Billy Idol’s band musicians taking…
A German Steampunk Don Quixote Jeremias Meinhard is a German musician, that mix different styles, both in music and in visuals. A couple of years ago, I discovered Blutengel (a gothic German band) and then I saw a video of them and Meinhard. The song was “Kinder der Sterne”. I loved the video and the song itself, but what caught my eye was this other singer. A soft-like mad scientist, all dressed in black, with…
A few days ago, the music world delivered us the news of Pantera’s long-awaited reunion. After so many years since their separation and a lot of speculations about new line-ups, the band finally decided to reunite with Zakk Wylde on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums. Many fans do not agree with Pantera’s new lineup, because of the obvious lack of both the late Abbott brothers (Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, guitar and drums respectively,…
