SHINEDOWN - GET UP
Released in 2018 as part of the Attention Attention album, this song gave the band their eleventh song to reach the top ten on the Billboard Rock Airplay chart. This actually broke the Foo Fighter's previous record of 10.
ACDC- HAVE A DRINK ON ME
Don't mind if I do! This song of course is from the ever-popular Back In Black album, released in 1980. This album also held other major hits such as Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, and You Shook Me All Night Long
METALLICA- WHISKEY IN THE JAR
A lot of people forget this banger is a cover! That's right, back in 1973, Thin Lizzy actually released this song. It was in 1998 that Metallica played a similar song but with a much heavier sound, and this is what we have! I think they do a good job!
PAPA ROACH- NO APOLOGIES
You don't have to say you're sorry, but you SHOULD listen to this song. Fairly new, it came out in 2022 as part of Papa Roach's Ego Trip Album.
LOLA MONTEZ - VOLBEAT
This hit song came from the Danish group's fifth studio album, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies. It was Volbeat's 4th song to top the Mainstream Rock Songs chart in the United States. It is about the famous dancer and Countess of Landsfeld, Eliza Rosanna Gilbert, her stage name of course being...Lola Montez. After reading a bad review about her performance she attacked the writer with a whip...look it up.
DROPKICK MURPHYS- THE BOYS ARE BACK
Released in 2013, this is part of the band's Signed and Sealed in Blood album. This is the kind of song you and your good friends blast on full volume when out for a night of debauchery.
GEORGE T- ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER
This song was originally written in 1953 by Blues artist Rudy Toombs. Bad To The Bone George T took that ball and RAN with it in 1977 with his own rendition. The original lyrics are about a drunk man at a bar at closing time, just trying to drink enough to forget that his girlfriend's gone AWOL, harassing a tired, bored bartender. George's version also takes inspiration from "House Rent Boogie" which serves as more backstory for the singer.
MOTLEY CRUE- WILD SIDE
The opening track to Girls, Girls Girls, the band's third straight album to hit quadruple platinum! Written by Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, this was just one of the songs that made the whole album an "arena rock juggernaut".
GIO AND THE HIGHER GUNS- ROMON AYALA
Giovannie and the Hired Guns are a Country-Rock band from the Lone Star State of Texas! Ramon Ayala came out in 2022 as part of the group's Tejano Punk Boyz album!
