Not to mention the bold fashion statements and electronic vibes that hyped the genre. Let’s take a look at ten classic American rock bands that made a significant impact during the 80s:

The 10 American Classic Rock Bands That Rocked The ’80s

In a new interview with Noise11's Paul Cashmere, legendary German guitarist Michael Schenker, who is currently promoting his upcoming album "My Years With UFO", celebrating the 50th anniversary of Schenker's years with UFO, discussed some of his other yet-to-be-released recording projects. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "So I went into the studio in June '23. I wrote all the songs. I mean, of course, [the] UFO [album] was already written, but the MSG, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP album, and the next [Michael Schenker] album, I wrote the music. The second album was supposed to be an electric, like an instrumental album. And the reason was I wanted to make three albums in one go to let the people know what I've done in the last 50 years. So I did UFO, I did MSG and I did an acoustic or electric [album] and both instrumental music. So after we finished with 'My Years With UFO', I started putting down my guitars for the MSG album, which is gonna be called 'Don't Sell Your Soul'. And it's with [former SKID ROW frontman] Erik Grönwall singing most of the songs, Robin McAuley singing, and Michael Voss, my co-producer, he's also singing. And then I did the instrumental album. As I was putting down my guitar, my composition, the instrumental part, Michael Voss kept singing, and I went, like, 'Michael, this sounds really good. I think we should turn this into a vocal album,' and have, like I used to do with UFO, 'Belladonna' and 'Love To Love', all of these songs used to be instrumental songs. And then they turned into vocal songs. And so we invited Herman Rarebell from the SCORPIONS, ex-drummer. And so this album is like now one of my favorite albums. It turned into this amazing album. Somebody had the idea to tune it to a 432 [Hz] instead of 440 [Hz], which is the same tuning as 'Dark Side Of The Moon', PINK FLOYD. And we added this, we added that, and it was like building a house. All of a sudden, I was shocked what came out of it. And people will be shocked when they hear this album because they will not believe what they're hearing. And it's called 'Freedom Of Expression'."

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

Following Ozzy Osbourne's two Grammy Awards in 2023 for "Best Rock Album" (his first-ever win in the category) and "Best Metal Performance" from his hugely successful and critically acclaimed "Patient Number 9" album (Epic Records) and a recent No. 1-charting Active Rock song "Crack Cocaine" — a collaboration with Billy Morrison and Steve Stevens — he is now setting his sights on the 2024 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Chinese food is one of my favorites! Sometimes, all I want is a heaping bowl of beef broccoli and rice. Don't let the ingredient list scare you, it's quite simple to make, the most time consuming part is ingredient preparation. Sometimes, I will get the ingredients together the day prior or combine the parts that I can ahead of time so this meal preps in a snap! Here's what you'll need for 6 servings:
