Today's Video Of The Day is the new video released today from Hotei & Iggy Pop for the track ‘Walking Through The Night’. The video is stunningly filmed and follows a man’s nocturnal journey through the seedy back streets of Tokyo, lured by the bright lights of temptation. The track is taken from Hotei's debut UK release 'Strangers', which features an array of high profile guests as well as Iggy including Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine, Richard Z. Kruspe from Rammstein and more. Best known for his song ‘Battle Without Honor Or Humanity’, instantly recognisable as the theme from Quentin Tarantino’s film Kill Bill, Hotei has played alongside The Rolling Stones, David Bowie and many more high profile artists across his career and is heralded by Time Out as “iconic”.

According to Rockrpix photographer John Bull - Bernie Marsden (pictured) was the best thing all weekend at Hard Rock Hell - which ended in Pwllheli, North Wales, on Saturday night. Apparently on a packed out main stage, everyone was singing 'Here I Go Again' - "just fab" said John. Anyway, see today's Massive Vid Of The Day plus our updated Rockrpix photo gallery here.

Hard Rock Hell in Pwllheli, North Wales, might have finished last night (see today's Ugly Kid Joe Vid Of The Day plus our updated Rockrpix photo gallery here) - but we still have some coverage to come over the next few days so watch this space!

Not only did The Simpsons correctly predict that Donald Trump would be President 16 years ago, but so did Kurt Cobain (Track Of The Day) in 1993! Our thanks to Wrinkly The Biker for passing on the following quote from the late Nirvana singer: "In the end I believe my generation will surprise everyone. We already know that both political parties are playing both sides from the middle and we'll elect a true outsider when we fully mature. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a business tycoon who can't be bought and who does what's right for the people. Someone like Donald Trump as crazy as that sounds."

Today is the final day of the sold out Hard Rock Hell X (Vid Of The Day) which continues in North Wales with Molly Hatchet headlining the main stage. Anyway check out our emerging photo gallery here including Texas Flood (pictured) courtesy of Mr. Rockrpix himself - John Bull!
