Golden Robot Records announces a powerful new single from the late rock icon and very longtime HardRadio friend JOHN SYKES "Believe In Yourself", officially out on June 12. "Believe In Yourself" captures everything fans have long admired about Sykes' artistry - soaring vocals, electrifying guitar work, and a deeply personal lyrical message delivered with passion and conviction. The single stands as both a triumphant celebration of his enduring creative spirit and a heartfelt farewell to a musician whose influence shaped generations of rock and metal artists and continues to do so."
Legendary heavy rock drummer TOMMY ALDRIDGE has announced "Sonic Visions," his first-ever art collection, transforming decades of rhythm, power, and performance into a series of visual works created with Los Angeles art collective SceneFour. The collection features five original works inspired by Aldridge's years with Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake, including "Bark At The Moon", "Crying In The Rain", "Still Of The Night", and "Bad Boys". The first piece being released from the collection was captured during live performances of "Still Of The Night." Visit aldridgeworld.com for details.
Saturday evening saw Germany's biggest ever stadium concert at Berlin's Olympiastadion: Very longtime HardRadio friends METALLICA played there in front of 94,000 people. The record previously belonged to U2, who drew a crowd of just over 90,000 to Olympiastadion in 2009. The venue's usual maximum capacity for gigs is around 72,000. This was increased to 76,000 for the DFB Cup final on May 29 and then to the record-breaking number a day later. This was done by using a central stage area leaving no seat empty.
