What's Up

The song 'What's Up' sang by the '4 Non Blondes' band made it to #14 on the U.S. charts, however,  it did become a #1 hit on the Dutch Top 40 chart. 

The band was formed in 1989 and it disbanded in 1994. Linda Perry who was the lead singer of the band, wrote this song which some people know as being the 'What's Going On' song, because those words are in the song.

Shelf In The Room

One of my favorite songs from the band, Days Of The New, is 'Shelf In The Room'. Yeah, I know that Travis Meeks voice sounds like a few of the other lead singers, who were in other 90s bands, but I think that his voice sounds a bit more mesmerizing than the others.

The song 'Shelf In The Room' reached #3 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1998.

Days Of The New was formed in 1995, but Travis Meeks is the only original member who is still performing with the band today.

One of the former members of the band, Mike Starr, unfortunately died from a prescription drug overdose on March 8, 2011, when he was only 44 years old.



Sorry that it took me a while to put up a new video, but I have been very busy working on one of my other blogs, (Lisa Kittys hot topics), and I am also writing my first book :)

The Beautiful People

The single "The Beautiful People" peaked at #29 on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and remains known as one of Marilyn Manson's most famous and most successful original songs.

When I first heard this song I thought that it was totally cool sounding with a twist of ghoulish backward sounds at the beginning and end of this song.

In 1989 Marilyn Manson started his band in South Florida which he named Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. In 1992 he decided to call the band Marilyn Manson.

Here is the video for you to view, which may appear freaky to those of you who aren't into the Marilyn Manson version of what a song should sound and look like.

Crossroads

The song 'Crossroads' was a touching tribute written for deceased Eazy-E, who had died much to early. The lyrics also touch upon the afterlife judgement process, which may or may not be true, but in my mind I believe that it is better to not doubt what may end up being true.

Bone Thugs n Harmony is a harmonious sounding group of singers who seem to want to get the right message out to people who listen to their music.

More Human Than Human

White Zombie was a popular heavy metal band that was formed back in 1985.

The song More Human Than Human made it to #7 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks in 1995 and it also made it to #10 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks.

The music style of this band was a mix of driving guitar riffs and heavy metal music to achieve its unique sound with strong lyrics to round it off.

Semi-Charmed Life

This song was very popular even though it was censored for a drug related verse.

I didn't see any harm in leaving the verse in the song when it was played on the radio.

It's like the FCC thought that if it was left alone that people would go out and buy crystal meth.

This version is the FCC version.

This is the true version of the song being sang acoustically by two of the original band members.

Fly To The Angels

The song 'Fly To The Angels' is a cool sounding song from the rock band 'Slaughter'. When I first heard this song I was watching MTV, back when they still played music videos (LOL).

When you listen to Mark Slaughter's voice range during this song you begin to realize that not every known singing guy can achieve what Mark can with his voice, although I know that you can name some of them who can.

This song hit #1 on the U.S. rock charts in 1991.

These are the lyrics:

Pictures of you
Oh, they're still on my mind
You had the smile
That could light up the world
Now it rains
It seems the sun never shines
And I drive down
This lonely, lonely road
Ooh I got this feelin'
Now I gotta let you go

But now you've got to fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
Heaven awaits your heart
And flowers bloom in your name
You've got to fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
All the stars in the night
Shine in your name

Though it hurts me, way deep inside
When I took a look
And found that you're not there
I tried to convince myself
That the pain
The pain is still not gone
But still I drive down
This lonely lonely road

But I got this feeling
Girl I gotta let you go

You've got to fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
Heaven awaits your heart
And flowers bloom in your name
You've got to fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
All the stars in the night
Shine in your name

Ooh yeah
And still I drive down
This lonely lonely road
Oh I got this feelin'
Oh, I can't let you go
But I know that you've got to fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
Heaven awaits your heart
And flowers bloom in your name

Ohh you've gotta fly
(Fly high)
Fly to the angels
All the stars in the sky
Shine in your name oh yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh yeah

I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you so
