One of the great guitar gods of Portland, or maybe the single greatest guitar God of Portland has left the building.
RIP Chris Newman.
The amazing drummer is Sam Henry and I know that looks like Greg Sage on bass but I don’t really have anyone still alive that I can call and ask.
Just another sidenote here, Chris had a full on suburban mom wedgey bob died jet black for the last decade or more of his life and looked cool as fuck.
“Loose” by The Stooges
Here’s one that didn’t really seem to come back into vogue with the major resurgence of Iggy and his amazing career. http://bit.ly/TDW-MMM
Monday Metal Moment
Iron Maiden “Number of the Beast”
This was the other actual radio hit by this band that launched them into that mega world domination status. http://bit.ly/TDW-MMM
Metallica – “One”
This was a new sound in for commercial rock when MTV showed it to the world. It changed things. http://bit.ly/TDW-MMM
Twisted Sister “I Wanna Rock”
I always have a soft spot in my heart for this song because I also wanna rock.
The Horrors “Lout”
I can’t believe somebody is actually doing this. Couldn’t of happened to a nicer bunch of guys.
AC/DC – “Thunderstruck”
I heard this on the radio last week and it had never sounded more mind blowing. Ever. It’s amazing. I just wanted to point that out. – CTT
Alice in Chains: “Man in the Box”
Ok this is the last of the metal roots side of the “Seattle grunge” scene. This was the first superhit that MTV got behind as well as commercial radio. Huge. http://bit.ly/TDW-MMM

Mother Love Bone: “Chloe”
More n grunge. This was supposed to be the band who would put grunge on the map. This single was in all the cool rock bars jukebox and every strip club in America before the album was released and they were ready to pop. Until their singer Andy overdosed on heroin at the 11th hour. Damn. He was my favorite if the lot, too. http://bit.ly/TDW-MMM
