“Crazy Nights” is in my Top 3 favorite KISS albums, ok? I know too well the majority of hardcore KISS fans hate it but I don't care, I love this album. In my eyes, it's a true masterpiece produced by Ron Nevison himself. As for “I'll Fight Hell To Hold You”, I don't wanna lie, it's not my favorite song on the album but it has something... some kind of a special power, I'd say.

Satyricon became my favorite band of this year, at least in terms of the time spent for listening to their albums. They're in my ears everywhere, at home, at my fitness studio, while driving too. The favorite album changes all the time but I became obsessed with “The Age Of Nero” lately. And really, I could cover any song from this album but in the end I chose “The Wolfpack”. Especially, since I didn't find any 100% correct bass covers for this song. Ah, right, and I redesigned the tabs...

My bad, I only found out about D-A-D after I heard a cover for "Sleeping My Day Away" made by the German goth-rockers MONO INC. It's such a nice band! And just look at their bassist Stig Pedersen who uses only two strings (E and A) and each of his basses looks like nothing else on this planet!

The Dudes Of Wrath was a one-project super group created by the producer Desmond Child, especially for the soundtrack of Wes Craven's movie “Shocker”. The line-up was legendary: Desmond Child (vocals), Paul Stanley (vocals), Vivian Campbell (guitars), Guy Mann-Dude (guitars), Rudy Sarzo (bass), Tommy Lee (drums) + Kane Roberts, Louis Merlino and Michael Anthony on back vocals! Not bad huh? The projects made 3 tracks but only “Shocker” was a proper song (“ShockDance” was based on the...

Since “Raise Your Fist & Yell” is one of my favorite Alice Cooper albums it was a matter of time before I did something from this magnificent but not especially popular release. It still fascinates me how far Alice stepped from his usual style with "Raise..." He used to be experimental, dazzling, and lyrical but never so brutal and heavy before. If "School's Out" or "From The Inside" were slaps in the society's face, "Raise Your Fist & Yell" was a hit with a hammer. What an album,...

“Andres” is one of my favorite songs of probably my favorite “band from the 90s”. A very simple bass line and fun to play :)

The Gathering's debut album “Always...” was an important milestone in the history of doom metal and “King For A Day” was probably the first doom metal video I've seen back in the '90s ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbzog5cwNkI ). Still love this song and it was a big surprise for me to see that no one ever did any covers for it. There are no tabs online either, so I made my own. Are they accurate? It's a good question. Let's say they're more accurate than no tabs at all :) It's the...

The last lifebuoy-song for now is “Niemals dran gezweifelt” (“Never doubted it”) by Udo Lindenberg. For non-Germans – Udo Lindenberg is an extremely popular and famous pop/rock singer who started his career back in the very beginning of the '70s. He's like... I don't know... James Brown of Germany if I may say so. I've never been a fan but in 2020 I watched his biopic “Lindenberg! Mach dein Ding” (“Lindenberg! Do Your Thing”) and I loved the moved and also I loved the song...

I remember I had to drive somewhere and I didn't feel so well. I was depressed and uncertain of my future. And suddenly I heard this song on the radio. “Steh auf, wenn du am Boden bist” (“Stand up when you're on the floor”) by Die Toten Hosen (an extremely popular German pop punk band) is just a typical “come on, cheer up, everything's not that bad” song, I know it but for some reason that was exactly what I needed back then. It was like a message from a close friend in the musical...
