• Two Easy Steps to Covering “Cry Little Sister”

One of my all-time favorite songs to listen to is “Cry Little Sister” (the Lost Boys theme song by Gerard McMann/Gerard McMahon/G Tom Mac). When I was little, not only did I watch the movie a gajillion times (and still do), but I listened to this song on repeat so much that my mother is probably still sick of hearing it to this day, haha.
Anyway, with any great classic 80′s song, people who follow will cover it.
Bands… a little piece of advice… if you’re going to cover a classic, the FIRST step you might want to take is TO GET THE LYRICS RIGHT. That’s the very least you can do. PLEASE.
Then, of course, the second would be to make [...]

Oklahoma industrial/metal outfit RIKETS will release its sophomore effort, “All American Death Cult“, on April 20 via Burnhill Union Records. The band is comprised of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Rose, guitarist and producer Provo, drummer Timmy Braun, Michael Reams on bass, and Nick Quijano (formerly of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE) on second guitar.
Rose and company uprooted the original “All American Death Cult” recording session from where they began in Dallas, Texas and relocated them to Ben Schigel‘s (SWITCHED) Strongsville, Ohio studio. “Ben has been there since day ONE,” says Rose. ” He’s a motivator, a mentor, a vocal trainer and a great creative mind.
“I’ve been friends with Ben for years and SWITCHED was one of my favorite bands. Working [...]

Last night, G Tom Mac (Gerard McMann) and a few of the Lost Boys went on Random Talk Radio. Unfortunately, I missed it from being caught up in work and halfway dying of the plague. When I got home last night, G texted me and let me know that he gave me a little shout out, and I found the clip online.
If you missed it as well last night, check it out here!

So it was recently announced that Warner has given the go-ahead on the creation of Lost Boys 3…. and in the words of my buddy G:
“For those wondering, Dario Piana will direct the new “Lost Boys 3 – The Thirst” written by Evan Charnov…. And of course it’s made to go straight to DVD again. Check please!”
…Sigh. After the flop of the second movie, why couldn’t they just leave it alone?
While I am on this sort of topic, I would just like to state, again, how pissed I am that they’re trying to remake The Crow. Allow me to summarize things for you:

The Crow – Awesome classic with a great soundtrack, as well as great score.
The Crow: City of Angels [...]

Friday I started my weekend with the first day of Vampire-Con at the New Beverly Cinema. My dear friend G (aka G Tom Mac/Gerard McMann) invited me out with him for The Lost Boys part of it. Considering I grew up loving that flick, and the fact that he and I haven’t seen each other in who knows how long because both of our schedules have become so ridiculously jam-packed, of course I accepted the invite.

I met up with him, Paolo Cascio (who shot G’s recent video of “Cry Little Sister (True Blood version)”), and eventually Billy Wirth (who played Dwayne, one of the Lost Boys in the cult classic). Q&A with G and Billy, then on to the premiere [...]
