 See in the New Year, a year that promises so much for your pathetic life, with a mullet so alluring, so switched on with both sensuality and sexuality that I can barely type this without wanting to touch myself.....back door. Week 82 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week ushers in 2012 with a romantic classic....

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid.....that is until you have seen the friggin' monstrosity that I have wrapped up with a pretty little bow on top for you lucky, lucky uber-peeps. Week 81 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week celebrates family, and Xmas, and, of course, pirates. How could I find such a combination? Trust me, baby - I'm a looker...

 Subtitled "From Deep Purple to Black Country Communion" this autobiography from Glenn Hughes (with Joel McIver) arrives in paperback form with a foreword from Metallica's Lars Ulrich. Jamie Richards found out which members of The Runaways ended up as notches on the Hughes bedpost, a post occupied by a demon (of sorts) too. Read on for the lusty, literary lowdown......

 He's back - the man behind the 'tache. Steve Danger, riotous drummer for Brit metal overlords Wolfsbane, picks up his tour diary in Cardiff and continues his tales of terror right through to their sold out show in Birmingham's O2 Academy a few days later as the band once again set sail covering the motorways of the UK in their mission to save the rock 'n' roll world.

We continue the piratey theme as championed by the real men behind the scenes at Uber Rock with another fine example of sleeve art. Week 79 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week could actually be described as a bit too 'space' piratey......click that link and turn to the dark side...

 In honour of my Hard Rock Hell IV guilty pleasure, I offer you good people the chance to indulge in their finest moment....a moment that, amazingly, the band members are rumoured to have hated. What was wrong with those guys?

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases....as do holiday camps featured on Watchdog due to their, err, novel approach to cleaning. So, while us Über Röckers blow the memories of Hard Rock Hell out of our nostrils, we want you good people to rejoice in the upcoming festive period and nothing says Xmas more than a picture of a big fucking wolf.......

 In April of this year Hanoi Rocks decided to close the curtain on their reformation years by playing eight shows in six days at the Tavastia Club in Finland. Sadly Johnny H couldn't be there for any of the shows, so instead we gave him a copy of the band's brand new 'Buried Alive' DVD to review. Read what he thinks of it here.....

80 weeks; 80 weeks of seductive, award winning album cover art for you good people to get your crooked teeth around. You can thank me later. Continuing a theme started by a serious comment made by an idiot member of the UR Massive this week's Album Cover Of The Week will scare and satisfy in equal measure....possibly...

 When you get an offer from someone like Steve Danger to write you a tour diary you don't pass up on it. The guy is a fucking nutcase and then some, he also happens to be a great drummer in a great band...Wolfsbane. So when just that happened - we didn't exactly have to think twice. His band play Hard Rock Hell later tonight but right now you can find out what it's really like to be on the road with a band ready to save the rock 'n' roll world!

So, it's that weird time between Xmas and New Year. Forgotten what day it is yet? Made a complete fool of yourself at a party yet? Well, fear not because everyone, including the band behind this week's Album Cover Of The Week, makes mistakes.....

Yes, it's that time of year. "It's for the kids" we are told but, c'mon, this corporate-sponsored spendfest is for all of us. So, with that in mind, week 29 of Über Röck's Album Cover Of The Week feature is a little gift from us for all the dads.......
