Kiss: Reason to Live (1987)
The Ultimate 80's Power Ballad
This music video "Reason to Live" is from the album "Crazy Nights" and was recorded for Mercury Records. The song was a big hit and got much airplay on MTV. Crazy Nights spawned a few hits and the album was their comeback album. Crazy Nights went platinum with over 1,000,000 copies sold and a world tour followed the albums release rather quickly. The tour was also a success. "Reason to Live" was performed every night on their world tour and was a fan favorite. The song is well written and the album production was flawless. The album's producer Ron Nevison did a great job. Nevison produced and engineered many legendary recording artists albums. If you like 80's Hard Hock and Metal Power Ballads this is a song and video you will love.
Hear 'n Aid: Stars (1986)
A who's who of classic Heavy Metal and rockin for a great cause!
This project was put together by Ronnie James Dio when the idea to write and record a "heavy metal" style "We are the world" was brought to him by virtuoso guitarist Vivian Campbell. There are several classic metal recording artists in this video and on the recording. There are vocalists, guitarists, drummers, bassists and more. Some of the Metal Masters in this video and on the recording are Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Geoff Tate of Queensryche, Don Dokken, Ronnie James Dio, Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot, George Lynch of Dokken, Vivian Campbell of Dio, Neal Schon of Journey, Vinny Appice of Dio, Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot, Jimmy Bain of Dio and several more Heavy Metal Greats. The song is very well written and the musicianship is phenomenal. The song raised money for a great cause. Rumor has it that not one musician, performer etc. Got paid for their time and efforts in order to raise as much money as possible for the cause. It shows that rockers have a heart and care. Well done!
The Chosen (2017)
A Masterpiece
Phenomenal, Great and Very well done. This show is entertaining and educational. Inspiring and Emotional. The characters are relatable and as you watch this show you will surely identify with one or more of these people. There's the nerdy one, the cool one, the smart one, the angry one and so on. Jesus is very intelligent, wise and cool. He is someone I would of hung out with if I were alive then. You don't have to be religious to enjoy this show but if you are spiritual you will see it from a different perspective. It's interesting how the messages that are portrayed in each episode are extremely relevant even in modern times. This show will make you think. There is a ton of history and wisdom in every episode. They really did a great job.
