    LIVE & READY: 1980 – 1984’ 6 DISC BOXSET RELEASED 3RD APRIL 2026 (CHRYSALIS RECORDS)

    “Armed And Ready” is taken from the Hammersmith Odeon show from 1983 – a seminal concert in MSG history which formed the, Rock Will Never Die live release. This show has been newly remastered and can be found as part of the Live & Ready: 1980 – 1984 box set out this April.

    Listen to the track/watch the video: http://MSG.lnk.to/ArmedandReady

    The Michael Schenker Group were founded in 1979 by one of rock’s greatest guitarists Michael Schenker,following his time in Scorpions and UFO. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1980 on Chrysalis Records, was hailed as a commercial and critical success.

     ‘Live & Ready: 1980 – 1984’, the recently announced 6 disc boxset, captures the live raw power and precision of the group in their formative years. “My whole life has been a journey of constantly developing as a guitar player”, Michael states and this box set is an essential part of that.

    This boxset features four complete, career-defining shows across the years which, showcase the development and evolution of Michael Schenker’s performances. He adds,

    “These shows and these recordings, they’re all part of what I did in my past, part of my development. It is what it is, part of my life and with good memories. And by the way, this box set, that’s what it’s all about too, that short period of time, ’80 to ’84. It was definitely a crazy and very fast-changing period of time. It’s hard to wrap my head around how fast we had to make changes based on circumstances, but that’s part of life.”

    The live albums in the boxset are:

    Manchester Apollo – 1980: The explosive debut tour featuring early classics, Nippon Budokan, Tokyo –1981: A legendary show captured at the height of MSG’s powers, Hammersmith Odeon – 1983: Recorded at London’s Hammersmith Odeon with special guests including Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine of Scorpions, available in its entirety for the very first time. Seibu Stadium, Tokyo – 1984: A powerhouse festival set showcasing MSG’s melodic metal mastery, with an additional DVD including the full visual concerts of Hammersmith Odeon – 1983 and Seibu Stadium, Tokyo – 1984.

    The set is accompanied by a booklet featuring extensive liner notes by acclaimed rock journalist Martin Popoff and a brand-new interview with Michael Schenker himself, offering personal insights into the era, the band, and these legendary performances. The booklet also includes previously unreleased photographs.

    Housed in a premium two-part rigid box, this release is designed not only for fans of Michael Schenker and MSG, but also for serious collectors of classic rock and heavy metal history. Remastered at AIR Mastering and with its wealth of unreleased material and expertly curated content, this box set serves as both a stunning time capsule and an essential addition to any rock archive.

    Hoobastank came together in Agoura Hills, California, in 1994, when vocalist Doug Robb and guitarist Dan Estrin, who had known each other before facing off in a high school battle of the bands, decided to start a group of their own. They brought in drummer Chris Hesse and bassist Markku Lappalainen, forming the lineup that launched the band’s early years. Before the major label success, the group built a name for itself on the Southern California club circuit, playing venues such as the Cobalt Cafe alongside acts like Incubus and Linkin Park. In those early days, the band’s sound included

  • Live Review: Alter Bridge – Nottingham

    Live Review: Alter Bridge – Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham

    5th March 2026
    Support: Daughtry, Sevendust

    Words & Photos: Tim Finch

    The final night of a tour always carries a different kind of energy. When Alter Bridge rolled into Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena to close out their UK and European run, the atmosphere felt like a celebration. Fans packed the arena aware that this was the last chance to witness the band’s current set in full flight.

    Opening the evening were Atlanta veterans Sevendust, who wasted no time igniting the crowd. Kicking off with ‘Black’ and quickly rolling into ‘Denial’, the band delivered their trademark blend of groove-heavy riffs and soaring vocal hooks. Frontman Lajon Witherspoon commanded the stage with effortless charisma, his voice filling the arena as the band tightened the screws with ‘Is This the Real You’ and the ever-reliable crowd favourite ‘Enemy’

    As the set continued with ‘Praise’, ‘Crucified’ and the crushing ‘Face to Face’, Sevendust proved exactly why they remain one of metal’s most dependable live acts. The chemistry between the band members was obvious, and the band loved every minute, smiles ear to ear as they played (and Mark Tremonti watched on in the wings). For a band playing early in a stacked bill, they delivered a performance that could easily have headlined a smaller venue, leaving the Nottingham crowd thoroughly warmed up.

    Next up was Daughtry, whose polished brand of arena rock provided a stylistic shift while keeping the momentum high. Opening with ‘Divided’ and ‘The Bottom’, frontman Chris Daughtry showcased the powerhouse voice that first brought him to global attention. His vocals carried effortlessly through the arena, particularly during the emotional sweep of ‘The Day I Die’ drawing a huge response from the audience.

    One of the sets standout moments came with their cover of ‘Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)’ by Journey. The band gave the classic track a heavier edge without losing its soaring melody, and the Nottingham crowd enthusiastically joined in.

    Closing their set with ‘Pieces’, ‘Over You’ and the punchy ‘Heavy Is the Crown’ the band finished on the newer material ‘Artificial’ which sat comfortably alongside the older favourites. Daughtry’s set started well but felt a little long as they neared the hour mark, a punchy half hour set in the sun with a beer at a festival would be the ideal booked for this band, through in a Journey cover and you’ve won the crowd over.

    By the time Alter Bridge took the stage, the atmosphere inside the Motorpoint Arena had reached fever pitch, the whole bowl was full to capacity, as was the floor as the many thousands in the building waiting in anticipation.

    Opening with the thunderous ‘Silent Divide’ the band immediately demonstrated why they’ve become one of modern rock’s most respected live acts. Guitarist Mark Tremonti and vocalist Myles Kennedy locked into their signature interplay, while the rhythm section powered through ‘Addicted to Pain’ and the epic ‘Cry of Achilles’.

    The setlist pulled generously from across the band’s catalogue, including the riff-heavy ‘Playing Aces’ and the towering ‘Fortress’. Tremonti stepped forward to take lead vocals on ‘Burn It Down’ delivering a muscular performance that showcased his many varied talents.

    As the set moved on momentum continued with the swaggering ‘Silver Tongue’ before the anthemic ‘Rise Today’ sent the arena into full voice. As the opening riff of ‘Metalingus’ rang out, the response was deafening, proof that the band’s early classic remains a cornerstone of their live repertoire or maybe there were a few Adam Copeland fans in attendance?

    Of course, no Alter Bridge show would be complete without ‘Blackbird’ and the encore delivered exactly that. The epic track unfolded with breathtaking precision, its guitar work and Kennedy’s soaring vocals creating a spine-tingling moment that reminded everyone why the song has become such a defining piece of the band’s legacy.

    They closed the night with the relentless punch of ‘Isolation’ bringing their UK and European tour to a triumphant conclusion. The band return in the summer, including a very special show at Cardiff Castle in June, grab your tickets for that now, as that will be a once in a lifetime experience!

  • Rush / Grace Under Pressure Returns In A Feature-Packed Deluxe Box Set

    Rush Announce Grace Under Pressure 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe

    Canadian progressive rock titans Rush, having just announced an extensive new tour for 2026 and 2027, release an expanded deluxe box set of their 1984 album Grace Under Pressure. Here is what you get for your money.

    Rush – Grace Under Pressure Deluxe Box Set

    Release Date: 13 March 2026

    Words: Robert Adams 

    The Grace Under Pressure Deluxe Box Set has a fully remastered version of the original album, plus a Terry Brown remix of the album. There is also the full concert, featuring previously unreleased tracks from their Grace Under Pressure Live concert film, recorded in Toronto on 21 September 1984 at Maple Leaf Gardens.

    There is more, with a 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mix of the album, the full film of the Grace Under Pressure Live release, and a hardback book featuring liner notes from Geddy Lee and brand new artwork from long-time collaborator Hugh Syme. Also included is a replica tour programme and a ticket from the Toronto concert and poster, LED light-up display, 6-page press release and three band photo lithographs.

    As you can imagine, all these goodies do not come cheap, but is it worth you shelling out your hard-earned money for this deluxe box set?

    Rush Announce Grace Under Pressure 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe
    Rush Announce Grace Under Pressure 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe

    To fully appreciate what has been done sonically with this deluxe box set, I listened to my original copy of Grace Under Pressure a few times before giving the tracks contained in the box set a spin.

    Firstly, GUP is an album I am very fond of. The remastered version is clearer to my ears, but it is the Terry Brown remix that makes you sit up and take notice. It is so much brighter than the original and the remaster.

    For those unaware, Terry Brown was Rush’s long-time producer, and the band had a meeting with him during the Signals tour in Miami. He was told that the band were going to use a different producer for their next album, which was Grace Under Pressure. There was no animosity from either party at this news.

    The band wanted to stretch their sound and felt that a different producer would help. After the Signals tour wrapped and the band took a well-earned break, the search for a producer began in earnest. Steve Lillywhite was pencilled in to do the job, but chose to produce Simple Minds instead.

    Producer Peter Henderson Joins

    The search for Rush continued before English producer Peter Henderson (Supertramp, Frank Zappa, Wings) was brought on board, although the album credits Rush and Peter Henderson as co-producers.

    “Our songwriting had taken us to a different musical place,” Geddy Lee said, “an expansion of our soundscape with a range of new technologies, not just keyboards and samples, but electronic drums too, while getting to know the new dude behind the console with a very different working style.”

    By all accounts, the band found Henderson to be indecisive and took matters into their own hands on many occasions during the recording sessions. 

    Alex Lifeson has been critical of the guitar taking a back seat on the keyboard-heavy Signals album. Grace Under Pressure brought Lifeson’s guitar back, albeit with a strong keyboard backing. 

    Rush were never afraid to push their sound and incorporate new influences within their songwriting, and Grace Under Pressure is no exception. There is reggae, new wave and straight-up rock all contained within the grooves of GUP.

    Neil Peart’s lyrics cover subjects like the holocaust (Red Sector A), death (Afterimage) and the Cold War (Red Lenses). The Enemy Within is credited as Part I of Fear, with Part II The Weapon, found on Signals and part III, Witch Hunt, on Moving Pictures. The band played the Fear trilogy live on the Grace Under Pressure tour.

    Most Rush fans will be familiar with the Grace Under Pressure Live album and video, which was released in 1986. That release only contained 12 tracks. The full 20-track show is contained in this Deluxe Box Set for the first time, in both audio and video formats.

    Terry Brown Remix

    It was Terry Brown who approached the band with the suggestion that he have a go at remixing Grace Under Pressure. The band agreed, and Brown remixed a couple of songs, which the band loved, so he went and remixed the rest of the album.

    This remix is just wonderful and should be heard. It feels fresh and, like I said earlier, much brighter than the original.

    Getting to see and hear the full show from Maple Leaf Gardens for the first time is also a bit special.

    Overall, this deluxe edition box set is very well put together, with the above-mentioned being highlights. Is it worth the money? Only you can decide that. Yes, it is expensive, but it is a quality release.

    I guess it all comes down to the question of “How much do I like the original Grace Under Pressure album?”

    I really liked the original album, so I might have to do a bit of saving up to add this to my collection.
