I'm hoping for full-fledged comebacks for both Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down.

My musical hopes for 2009 is that T-Pain will stop warbling on everyone's songs (and Akon, too). I cannot stand T-Pain.......
Let's see...also, I hope for new albums from Breaking Benjamin and Tyler Hilton.

My musical hopes for this year is to finally get some of my music recorded. I just ordered some recording equipment and can't wait to get started. It will probably be a long process, but when I'm done, I will let you all hear it and give me some feedback.

I hope to see Stevie Nicks some day in concert.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I'm hoping for Soundgarden and Faith No More comebacks although I say that every year lol. There's been big buzz Sam about System of a Down comeback so you may get your wish. Serj's solo stuff just didn't do it for me......

In Nova Scotia, Canada, we rarely get any big names for concerts. In New Brunswick, 2 hours away, they have a huge outdoor concert every year that draw some biguns....last two years = The Rolling Stones and The Eagles. I'm hoping the venue will sign somebody like U2, Tom Petty, REM, The Cure...hopeful, but doubtful.

Usually in hard economic times and recesssions, the music is usually better than usual, it's like people dig a little deeper. It happened in late 70's-early 80's Thatcher-era England and in the early 90's in the USA with Nirvana and other so called Grunge groups. I'm hoping there will be some new stars and groups who emerge to set it straight. Maybe I'm hoping too much but would love to see a new instrument or a new musical genre come to the fore.
What kind of music are you doing 80's rocked? Sounds great you should be doing some recording.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
At least these melodic rock/aor bands are going to release new albums/dvdīs in 2009 and i just canīt wait:
Impellitteri: Wicked Maiden (1/09) Vengeance: Soul Collector (1/09) Bad Habit: Above and Beyond (1/09) Places of Power: Now Is the Hour (1/09) Jorn: Live in America dvd (1/09) Balance: Equilibrium (2/09) Jeff Scott Soto: Beautiful Mess (Europe cd release 2/09) Danger Danger: TBA Urban Tale: TBA Mecca: TBA Stage Dolls: TBA Treat: TBA
2008 was a great year for melodic rock. I sure hope that 2009 will bring us some great music!

Danger Danger? As in "Bang, Bang" Danger Danger???
Posted by saturnchick (Member # 7524) on :
Interesting question, Sammy. There are a few things on my 2009 Musical Wishlist, although most of them are unlikely:
A new U2 album and tour Christine McVie rejoins Fleetwood Mac A new No Doubt album hits shelves and sounds like rock music Poorly written and performed meaningless pop music stops infesting the airwaves of radio
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :

Yeah, same awesome band.
Hereīs latest info (December 12, 2008)
Bruno Ravel has sent an update on the recording of the brand new Danger Danger album: "Ted has completed 5 basic vocal tracks and will be returning in a few weeks to sing some more. We plan to finish all the recording in January and then we will finally start to mix!". Release is tentatively planned for April/May.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Atomik, you heard of Lykki Li?
How about Love is All from Sweden? Saw them in December, really love them. Actually I saw the Hives as well in 2008.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Never heard Lykki Li or Love is All before.
Just listened one song/each. Interesting stuff but not quite my cup of tea. I listened lots of indie bands in the early 90s though...

The first few I will do are gonna be some acoustic tracks. It will probably be easier to start with those because I have never recorded with good equipment before and I gotta learn. I'm hoping it will be less mixing and editing because I won't need drums and probably little to no bass. Definitely NO singing ever by me!
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
OMG!! Riot is back with Tony Moore!!
Hereīs the news:
Once again, Riot is Mark Reale, Don Van Stavern, Bobby Jarzombek, Mike Flyntz and Tony Moore.
The musicians who created the critically acclaimed classics 'Thundersteel' and 'The Privilige of Power' have reunited for a new album and tour.
2009 is going to rock!
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
My friend is gonna be stoked to hear the new Danger Danger cd! He is an 80's music fanatic. I swear he knows stuff about 80's bands that they probably didn't even know themselves, ha,ha. He knows everything about even really obscure 80's bands.
Hey atomik, there is a guy who is from Pittsburgh, he's probably in his mid to late 40's now, and he is in a band that is hugely popular in Europe, I think especially up your way in Finland, Sweden, Norway, etc. Do you know who it is? I cannot think of his name for the life of me! Or even maybe the band at least, then I could find out his name. When he is at home in Pittsburgh, he works as a paramedic/EMT.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Your friend sounds like a cool guy! He has the same disease that i have
Tell me more about that Pittsburgh dude. What kind of band is it? Old/New?
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
Sorta heavy metal/ progressive sound. I do know that the dude can wail. Maybe I'll ask my friend, but it's probably going to be a while til I talk to him, he is so busy at work right now. I used to be kinda like him, but now that I am getting older, I'm more into movies than music for some reason.
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
OH, shoot, atomik, I didn't really answere your question. I think the band has been around a long time, I would say they go back to the mid to late 80's.
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
My only hope is that Amy Winehouse releases her third album. Oh and a new Red Hot Chili Peppers album would be lovely..
Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
i like amy winehouse's music also i heard on the news yesterday her hubby is filing for a divorce? i would like to see a new album from bob seger and the stones and poison and ratt myself lol
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
atomik, I can't believe that DC Cooper is so wildly famous across the Atlantic, yet he gets to come home and live a "normal" life here in Pittsburgh with his family. I thought it was pretty cool that he wants to continue to work as an EMT.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Peppers need to do a new album to rectify that 2-CD Stadium Arcadium disaster. Any time you only have 2 or 3 good songs at best on a double disc set should be a sign to try harder next time....

I keep hearing Lady Gaga on hear and I still have no idea who that is. I'm afraid to look it up on the internet just because of the name.
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
I'm really looking forward to the new Heaven and Hell album.
80'sRocked,
I don't know who she is either.

Why? Why? Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
2nd Place Vendome album is out now.

Atomik although ive never heard of some of these bands your postin, they sound really good and have that 80's metal feel. Remind me a bit of Helloween and Gamma Ray in their 80's days. Were you a fan of those bands ?
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Yeah! I was and still am a huge fan. I have most of their albums.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
Johnny, listen to my man aTomiK when it comes to rock and metal. I already downloaded hundreds of songs thanks to him. European metal kicks a$$! Actually, ALL metal kicks a$$!
Posted by johnny76 (Member # 8174) on :
Oh I agree 8Rock. Metal is the best ! Growin up I had a friend that introduced me to Helloween and a bunch of other european bands. Ive since lost touch a bit from my Keeper of the 7 keys days. I still have the cd's but life gets in the way of listenin to them sometimes, but readin these threads brings it all back ! Infact im goin thru my storage closet tonight in search of some good ol euro metal cd's and tapes and am gonna pull an allnighter !!!
