#SongLyricSunday & #RocktoberMusicFest ♫ “So Far Away” – Avenged Sevenfold
I already had this post scheduled for tomorrow, but when I saw the theme on Helen’s blog, I knew I had to share it today. This week’s theme is: Lost Typically, we discover new music and new bands on the radio, a friend’s recommendation or hear it play during a movie and just have to…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♪ “Adrenalize” – In This Moment
Remember, I promised that if you stuck around I would show you some real girly metal? Okay, then you can’t say I didn’t warn you LOL 😉 This was the first song I ever heard by In This Moment, and I was hooked! I immediately hit YouTube in search of anything and everything by them.…

#RocktoberMusicfest ♫ “Comfortable Liar” & “Brainiac” – Chevelle
“The Red” was the hit single that turned me onto Chevelle back in my early-to-mid 20’s and I still love them. I had a hard time choosing which of their songs I wanted to highlight, because like most bands who’ve been around for awhile, their sound has gone through some changes. Luckily, Chevelle‘s one of…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♫ “Going Under” – Evanescence
Although the band debuted in 1995, Evanescence’s debut studio album “Fallen” was the BEST thing to happen to the music scene in the early 2000’s. It was time for a change on the airwaves; Amy Lee and her band knew exactly how to bring it. Of course, it was the blockbuster movie “Daredevil” that really…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♫ “Seven Nation Army” – The White Stripes
Speaking of musicians dabbling in the movie industry: Former White Stripes singer, Jack White’s best-known supporting acting role was as Georgia in Cold Mountain starring Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellwegger. However, his IMDb profile has an impressive list of movies and TV shows he’s contributed to as a composer, producer, actor and he’s even written episodes…

#RocktoberMusicfest ♪ “The Kill” – Thirty Seconds To Mars
Look, it’s Mr. J playing Mr. J! Hehe, I couldn’t help myself. But loooooooooong before Jared Leto was winning Oscars for blockbuster hits like The Dallas Buyers Club or taking on the role of the greatest super-villain ever created, he was making music with his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. “The Kill” was the first song…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♫ “Giving In” – Adema
You know, until now I’ve never tried to pinpoint what it is about this song that I like so much. You only need to skim the surface of the lyrics, to know that the song is about giving into an addiction, which isn’t something I can immediately relate to. Yet, if you dive into the…

#SongLyricSunday & #RocktoberMusicFest ♫ “Voices” – Motionless In White
Alright, it’s time for another combo post covering both the #SLS & #RMF music challenges. I really try not to go too far out on a limb with Helen’s themes, especially when we get so much time to prepare, but I just couldn’t settle on anything with the actual theme word in the title or…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♪ “Carry On My Wayward Son” – Kansas
Whoa, why are we back in the 70’s? Because, my life in music is a bit backwards. It wasn’t until I became a bartender in my early 20’s that I started listening to a lot of classic rock again. It couldn’t be helped, when that was the only thing on the jukebox…not that I’m complaining!…

#RocktoberMusicFest ♪ “Stand Alone” – Godsmack
Dwayne Johnson made his acting debut in the Mummy Returns, and then quickly followed it up by revising the same role in the successful spin-off, The Scorpion King. However, it came with much criticism from movie-reviewers and WWF fans, alike. “Oh look, another wrestler trying to make it in showbiz.” Unfortunately, statistics showed the odds…
