Timexx Nasty

The Drivin' Rain singer gives us five of his faves.

1. Black Sabbath -- "The Devil Cried"

I'm happy to hear Sabbath just be evil again. Story is, If you go to hell, and sing a song that makes the devil cry, he'll send you back.

2. Kamelot -- "One Cold Winter's Night"

Timexx Nasty and Skully Shemwell are facing the future of their band, Drivin' Rain, in the wake of the death of guitarist Tommy DeWolf. (Aaron Eisenhauer ~ aeisenhauer@semissourian.com)

A really great band. Like a mix of Queensrych, Dream Theater and Lacuna Coil. Modern Power Prog Rock at its best.

3. Finger Eleven -- "Paralyzer"

I like the mix of metal and disco on this song. The bass line is so cool. Very catchy tune that sticks with you. One listen and you'll be singing this one for hours.

4. Sixx A.M.- "Life is Beautiful"

More great music from Nikki Sixx. It's the soundtrack to his book "The Heroin Diaries," about Nikki's decent into full scale drug addiction.

5. Elton John -- "Greatest Hits 1 & 2"

That's right. It's some great music, written by two of that decades best songwriters.
