#PhantastikPrompts 1.8.2025
Gib uns eine kurze Vorstellung von dir und woran du grade schreibst.

Seit meiner Jugend schreibe ich Geschichten, die größtenteils aber nicht veröffentlicht wurden. Darunter sind auch einige Science Fiction und Fantasy Werke.

Mein erster veröffentlichter Roman (eBook) ist eine Coming of Age Geschichte namens "Everlasting Roaring Thunder". Dabei geht es um fünf Jugendliche, die gemeinsam eine Band gründen. Sie spielen Hard Rock und Metal. Ihr Ziel ist es, ein eigenes Album zu veröffentlichen. Derzeit schreibe ich am zweiten Band, der noch in diesem Jahr veröffentlicht wird. Außerdem plane ich, Band 1 als gedrucktes Buch zu veröffentlichen.

"Don't Cry" is a song by American #hardRock band #GunsNRoses, two versions of which were released simultaneously on different albums. The version with #theOriginal lyrics is the fourth track on Use Your Illusion I (1991), while the version with the alternate lyrics is the 13th track on #UseYourIllusionII (1991). Only the vocal tracks differ, and even then only in the verses; however, in those verses, not only are the words entirely different, but the meter.

OZZY OSBOURNE
Blizzard Of Ozz
2011 U.S. Ltd. Ed. pressing
Picture Disc

My son bought this from a used bin while we were out this morning, and asked if we could listen to it together.
It’s the first Ozzy album for his collection, and I couldn’t be more proud. 😂

He of course loves “Crazy Train”, but as soon as he heard the first few notes of “Dee” he instantly picked up his guitar and started trying to figure it out.

“Who’s that, Dad? Who’s playing that?”

“That’s Randy Rhoads, son. He was incredible. He died in a horrible airplane accident.”

“That’s a beautiful song.”

Sure is, my boy.
Sure is.

Ladies and gentlemen… all aboard.
The crazy train has left the station, and my son’s Ozzy journey has begun.
Safe travels, son.

Mi sono riascoltato questo album spettacolare dei #Rainbow, la band spinoff di #RichiBlackmore che negli #anni80 ha sfornato delle perle leggendarie, tuttavia poco capite per l'epoca

[di questo album mio papà aveva il disco in vinile, copertina bellissima, chissà dove sarà finito? 🤔]

Questa #ISurrender è la canzone che apre l'album #difficulttocure, con la voce dal timbro SUBLIME di #JoeLynnTurner con un vibrato spettacolare e un ritmo da brividi

BLUE MURDER
Blue Murder
1989 Canada promo pressing

I rescued this from a thrift store today. The cover and inner are badly weathered, wilted, worn & torn, but the record, although very dusty, is in near-mint condition.

I also grabbed it because I’m very unfamiliar with it, having never heard of it before. Apparently, Blue Murder was formed by former Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes. It also features Carmine Appice on drums, so I figured it was worth a dollar to check it out.
We’re about to find out what kind of hair-tastic hard rock is contained herein.
After a good clean, of course.
