Run to the Hills: The Iron Maidens (Video Of The Day) are back in London!

The Iron Maidens are Kirsten ‘Bruce Chickinson’ Rosenberg on vocals, Linda ‘Nikki McBURRain’ McDonald on drums, Nikki ‘Davina Murray’ Stringfield, Courtney ‘Adriana Smith’ Cox on guitars and Wanda ‘Steph Harris’ Ortiz on bass - so watch out for the audio interview later this week!

Metallica continue the European leg of their WorldWired Tour in support of their new album 'Hardwired… To Self-Destruct' with their second gig at London's O2 Arena tonight. Doors open at 6pm with support from Norway’s Kvelertak at 7.20pm and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and multiple-Grammy® Award winning band on stage at 8.30pm.

"Despite missing the Heavy Rocker 'Damned' - his opening track on 'Volume 3' - with its palpable influence of namesake Dusty, Billy and Frank - the second number 'Go On' from 'Volume 2', was immediate proof, if needed, that one musician can sound like three, with Hill standing up whilst singing and playing guitar, with his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar, plus he gets the bass notes by feeding three of his strings through an Octaver guitar pedal that’s hooked up to a bass amp!" Read the whole of AJ's Steve Hill/Wishbone Ash O2 Academy Islington gig review from last Thursday here plus check out our photo gallery here (picture courtesy of Eric Duvet).

Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day features music from Eric Hughes, Downchild, Stephen Foster & Howler, Dave Hunt, Joakim Tinderholt, Johnny Rawls and Eric Gales (pictured).

To dovetail their headline November UK Tour, today Bad Touch release their new single 'Baby Get It On' featuring guest vocals from Mollie Marriott, which is today's Video Of The Day. The single is a cover of Tina Turner’s 1975 classic and is also a free MP3 download! 'Baby Get It On' first appeared on Tina Turner’s second solo album 'Acid Queen' that was originally released in 1975. Although it was a Tina Turner solo album, the first single 'Baby Get It On' was a duet with Ike Turner (who wrote the song for Tina). Bad Touch’s upcoming UK tour with Mollie kicks off at Sheffield's Corporation on Thursday 9th November including London's O2 Academy Islington on Sunday 26th November.

Naked Six, a two-piece Alternative Rock band from York recently released their first single ‘'Can’'t Trust the News’' which combines heavy pounding riffs, compelling lyrics plus a satirical twist, which is today's Video Of The Day. This band have been delivering high octane electrifying performances at shows up and down the country and have earned support from BBC introducing and Tony Visconti’'s Unsigned Heroes. The single comes out just weeks before they start a sold-out tour supporting The Temperance Movement and finish it off with a free headline show at The Lock Tavern in London on Friday 8th December.

Ahead of their sold out UK tour which starts tonight, Metallica have opened a pop up store at 45 Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3PD which is open today from noon to 8pm and noon to 6pm tomorrow. A tradition that started a little over a year ago in Minneapolis and carried on into Copenhagen and North America in 2017, the pop-up shops feature some new and exclusive collectible items, with fans not knowing exactly who or what they will find there. On Friday 10th November the band will be re-releasing 'Master Of Puppets' one of the most celebrated Metal albums of all time in expanded and Deluxe editions.

L.A. Guns never looked like pretty poster boys, unlike many of their peers, but rather the sort of band that you would be terrified of bumping into in a dark alley. Yet, despite having songs to back up that image, they could also write powerful ballads (such as ’The Ballad Of Jayne’) that displayed serious songwriting chops. Those chops are on show again on ‘The Missing Peace’, the band’s brand new album and arguably one of the most vital releases in their catalogue. A lyric video for the new single ’The Flood’s The Fault Of The Rain’ is today's Track Of The Day and the guys sandwich in a UK gig at Bradford Trash on Friday 3rd November in between two gigs at London's Camden Underworld on the 2nd and 4th November.

Deep Blue Sea (pictured) were no doubt fated to play the Medway Marina, Manor Lane, Rochester ME1 3HS - and sure enough the guys have a gig there tonight! Meanwhile, The New Cross Roads Blues Show is screened weekly on Facebook Live every Sunday. The first show is already loaded here featuring Blues Engine, London Bluesion and Deep Blue Sea with week two already in the can for this Sunday featuring The Wang Dang Doodle, The Blue Bishops, Iago Banet and JFK Blue.

The anticipation of seeing Canada's very own one man power trio Steve Hill at London's O2 Academy Islington on Thursday night was more than matched by seeing Andy Powell's legendary Wishbone Ash. As it turned out they were immense with Powell on guitar and vocals, John Verity's old mucker Bob Skeat (pictured) on bass and backing vocals, Powell's new foil Mark Abraham's on guitar and Joe Crabtree on drums. Anyway with a review to come, check out today's Video Of The Day plus also our photo gallery from the gig here.

The 2016 WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge show is back on the air tonight here at 8pm and today's Track Of The Day is last week's show which also featured another 2016 WRC award winner, namely Black Stone Cherry (pictured), Cream, Led Zeppelin and interviews from the recent Kent BluesRockFest.
