POWERLINE: THE RESURRECTION    Founded in 1985, Powerline began as an undergound hard rock/heavy metal mag, distributed mostly in record stores worldwide. As it evolved a few years later, it embraced more commercial hard rock (the popular genre at the time was classified as “hair bands”) and the mag was distributed as a high-gloss publication on American newsstands with a circulation of over 100K. By 1992 the party was over. The magazine became defunct (for various reasons). The staff went onto other jobs. And the name gathered dust. Until now. READ MORE

THIRTEEN APPEARS TO BE A LUCKY NUMBER FOR DAVE MUSTAINE    There’s quite a lot going on (or about to go on) in Megadethland. Of course, there’s the latest studio release of “Thirteen,” one of the finest metal albums in years, and then the December 10th jam of Dave Mustaine and Metallica, back on stage together again, playing old songs, for one of the 30th Anniversary Metallica shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco, California — a remarkable event that brought everyone from Jason Newsted, to Lloyd Grant and Ron McGovney out to celebrate. And soon will be the launch of Gigantour on January 26 in Camden, NJ — the "mega" Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil (all bands hand-picked by Dave Mustaine, of course). Pat Prince of Powerline recently interviewed Dave Mustaine back in December 13, 2011. Follow the link below and check out the entire interview. Click Here: Mustaine Interview

ROCK 'N ROLL LIMITED EDITION LITHOGRAPHS    THE BEATLES, ROLLING STONES & BON JOVI LIMITED EDITION LITHOGRAPHS In the mid 1990s, the music memorabilia community responded with excitement to the release of a most impressive series of a strictly limited quantity, museum-quality lithographs, featuring works of the worlds' best known graphic artists, such as Giger, Van Hamersveld, Volmer, Dean, Warhol and others. Combined, they produced rocks' most memorable album art for the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Yes, Eagles, Genesis, The Who, ELP and many more. Available for a limited time only, these fully authorized works-of-arts sold out quickly (worldwide) in the 90s and have since become highly collectible. These are truly beautiful pieces of artwork and look absolutely stunning framed and displayed. We recently sold an entire set of Rolling Stones lithographs to a customer that was had them framed and then hung in their media room at home. Wow! How cool is that....we think it's really cool! And make no mistake, these fine pieces of art will not break the piggy bank - they are all moderately priced from $35.00 - $175.00. Related Links: [ Click Here to View these Pieces of Art ]
