Motörhead - Stay Clean

This is a live performance by rock band Motörhead playing a version of their classic song "Stay Clean".
I really love this song and the performance the band puts on. Lemmy plays a banging job on the bass, and I love the bass solo towards the end, it's so fast and bad-ass, gotta love that.
Of course Mikkey Dee delivers a banging rhythm throughout the song and Phil Campbell ends the song nicely with a very good solo.
A great performance of a great song by a great band.

Enjoy ; )

Ozzy Osbourne - Perry Mason

This is the music video to the Ozzy Osbourne song "Perry Mason". The song is the opening track to the 1995 album Ozzmosis.
The song is inspired by the character from the classic TV-series that also carried the character's name.
The song is a straight forward hard rock/metal thing. I think it is inspired slightly by the TV-shows theme, but still far enough from so that at the most it's a take-off on it which it probably even isn't.
I think it's a very good ominous song that when it comes down to it is about a lawyer performing good deeds and winning cases.
A good song.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

This is a live performance from 2010 by Australian hard rock band AC/DC playing their classic song "Highway to Hell".
The song was originally released as a single in 1979 and is the opening track for the album of the same name. The main guitar riff was conceived by Angus Young and the song was written by Angus Young, Bon Scott and Malcolm Young.
The origin of the lyrics were an interview where Angus kiddingly stated that being constantly on tour is like "a fucking highway to hell".
It is undeniably one of the most iconic and best hard rock songs in history, and I think this live performance is impressive. The guys might be getting older, but they sure as hell still rock the stage and give one hell of an energetic performance. A great song, and a great performance.

Whitesnake - Still of the Night

This is a live performance by the British hard rock/metal band Whitesnake performing one of their classic songs "Still of the Night". The song was released in 1987 on their self-entitled album. It did fairly well in the charts, and in 2009 it was ranked the 27th best hard rock song by the VH1 network and its viewers.
The song kinda fuses the early blues vibe and influence with a more modern metal style. And that's just what it sounds like, you end up with this sweet hard rock song, with distorted guitars, pinch harmonics, awesome vocal performance and a sound that's both unique and totally familiar.
The song has also been stated to sound like the Zeppelin song "Black Dog", and I agree, but that's not a bad thing. First off, the riff from "Black Dog" does sound somewhat similar, but it is much more complicated than the riff in "Still of the Night". Besides what's wrong with drawing influence from Led Zeppelin, all 70's/80's bands should do that. There's influence and then plagiarism, and this is definitely just influence, well done Whitesnake.
It's a great song, and to this day it is still used as Whitesnake's encore at concerts, and with good reason, what an awesome way to end a show.
They really perform in this clip, and give 100 %. The fans are into it, and joins in on singing, the guitar parts rock, the melodic middle session rocks and David Coverdale does a fucking amazing job on the vocals. Truly an awesome performance.

Enjoy ; )
