Fuck Yeah! It’s Tony Martin Tuesday!

Wow. Yet another hidden gem from Alliance and once again proving just why The Cat is one of the fucking best. This song is so fucking good. It’s melodic as fuck and it has one of the catchiest fucking hooks. Tony’s Dio influence has always been very much present and on this song I totally hear Sacred Heart era Dio. As a matter of fact, this song kind of reminds me of “Hungry For Heaven” only it doesn’t suck. Hey, as much as I love Dio I have no problem admitting that “Hungry for Heaven” was horrible. Anyways, this classic hidden gem from The Alliance is such a great listen and it has me without a doubt wanting to find all I can from this great band.

For this installment we are once again visiting the epic as fuck 1989 Russia performance to take in the epicness of “When Death Calls.”

This is a great example of just how much better a song can be live than it is on recorded medium. While I dug this song on the Headless Cross album, I fucking LOVE this live version and it actually made me have a whole new appreciation for this song. Once again, we have the Cat showing just why he was a force to be reckoned with. His voice on this performance is over the top. I just never get tired of hearing him tear shit up live. I really would have loved the opportunity to see this lineup live but I have to say that I’m so fucking glad that they had the smarts to capture this stellar line up. The fire baby. So much fire and soul it’s off the fucking charts! HAIL THE CAT!
