A hit song poured into a Coca-Cola commercial might have made Robin Beck a star back in 1988 but that sweet voice must have had something to do with it. Fast forward to 2011 and Robin releases her new album 'The Great Escape', produced by her main squeeze James Christian (the House Of Lords frontman) and featuring duets not only with him but also former Rainbow mouthpiece Joe Lynn Turner. Who better to listen to this album than Dave Prince, a melodic rock-fuelled man used to having sweet, sticky fluids entering his orifices.....

Tape 2 gets dusted off from the Über Röck archive and this time Dom Daley makes us all jealous as he listens to the fabled bootleg tapes of Guns N' Roses live from the Marquee in 1987 and reminds us that he was one of the lucky bastards in attendance. Before becoming a bloated arena rock pig of a band, GN'R were the most dangerous band on the planet and reading this will remind you why.....

Primal Fear frontman Ralf Scheepers is a man of many surprises; he's also someone with an insatiable lust for all things Heavy Metal. With a career spanning over three decades the singer's debut solo album has got Jim Rowland using terms like "metal gods" and he's only on track one. What can he be referring to?
