ALTER BRIDGE at Ogden Theatre, Colorado (February 17th, 2020)
According to Alter Bridge lead singer Myles Kennedy, there’s something special about the band playing in Denver. Now that might be something he says every night while changing the name of the city he’s referring to, but judging by the crowd reaction to their show Monday night in Denver, I kind of doubt it.

SINGLE REVIEW and INTERVIEW: Watch and hear PROJECT AEGIS’ New Single Featuring LEAH, NEAL MORSE, and Members of THEOCRACY and LOST HORIZON

MEGADETH’s “So Far, So Good… So What!”: A 32 years-old raw, gritty, and angry thrash album, worthy of your hard earned money
The late 1980’s were thrash heaven. Ground was being broken everywhere; landmark and genre-defining classics were falling out of the sky.

They were scheduled to…
