Hotbox – Lickity Split – Review

June 3, 2001

Sexy, super-fast tunes like “Take You On,” “Poor Betty Blue” and “Let’s Get Stupid” sound kinda like what Pat Benetar woulda sounded like fronting a punk band.

Honky – House of Good Tires – Review

June 3, 2001

Honky sound like ZZ Top back around Tejas, sorta updated for the wanna-be white trash set, like Rob Zombie without those electronic whosisnots.

Halford – Live Insurrection – Review

June 3, 2001

Halford dug deep into the Priest catalogue, whipped out a bit o’ Fight and played much of the obvious, safe but satisfying Resurrection album.

Gwenmars – Driving a Million – Review

June 3, 2001

Gwenmars is actually a little more Filter than I remember, but the shag haircuts and drug-hazed bubblegum will give them away every time.

Guano Apes – Don’t Give Me Names – Review

June 2, 2001

Staying on the heavy side even when slowing down and getting breathy (more Tool than Top 40), and while tirading a bit, never shrieking uncontrollably.

Grade – The Embarrassing Beginning – Review

June 2, 2001

Grade, in all of its predictable sing-scream/loud-soft/we-can’t-play-anything-other-than-emo-chords, has opened up its high school photo album for all to see.

Gotohells – Rock’n’Roll in America – Review

June 2, 2001

Florida’s Gotohells rock with their balls out, slapping you in the face if you get too close. Rock-hard-die-messy anthems ya “sing” while staggering wildly.

Gaza Strippers – Electric Bible: The New Testament – Review

June 2, 2001

Electric Bible plus a Five Fingers… track, two unreleased tracks from the Laced Candy sessions, and a souped-up cover of Elvis Costello’s “Lipstick Vogue.”

Gandalf – Rock Hell – Review

June 2, 2001

Blending Swedish melodic death metal (In Flames-style) with wide-stance AC/DC and Alice Cooper choruses, you have the ultimate metal/rock hybrid.

Ducati World Racing Challenge – Review

June 2, 2001

Acclaim has lovingly recreated over 40 of the most popular Ducati motorcycles of all time to a level fit to satisfy even the most fanatic Ducati-maniac.
