 Not wanting to be like that dirty journo who told everyone that Black Sabbath were reforming....when they weren't, our man Craggy visited Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery to see the Home Of Metal exhibition and only wants to distribute facts - cold, hard facts. What's that? Led Zeppelin to reform with Cronos on vocals? Read on for Craggy's critique....

 Some of the classic cover art featured in Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week feature scares, some inspires, some angers, some humours - today's excites. It titillates. Wherever the vixen featured on this week's cover is right now, whatever she is doing, call me.....

How foolish of this bunch of Christian metallers. How foolish that they think that they can forget about the original cover of their album? That they can re-release it with a different cover and act like the original, like the dinosaurs, never happened.

A conversation past the witching hour of one of the crazed days of this past weekend saw Uber Rock conversing with a couple of Scutty Neighbours regarding the high quality of a certain legendary metal band. It would be rude to not feature said band in Week 61 of Uber Rock's shameless Album Cover Of The Week feature, wouldn't it?.....

This is special; an early album from one of the greatest rock bands to ever draw breath that was released under a couple of different album titles and with no less than five different covers. The one we have chosen for Week 60 of our Album Cover Of The Week feature is the German cover, therefore assuring all of high quality product. In Slugfest week we present the favourite band of the event's mainman Darrel Sutton.....

When the legends behind Uber Rock were simply spotty teenagers growing up in the Welsh valleys with dreams of being the pure meat in a Doro Pesch/Lee Aaron sandwich, their hearts rocked on in California, a faraway place awash with hairspray, spandex and power ballads. Today we take you good people back to those dreamy days with the finest album cover in Californian metal history......

 Glastonbury 2011 certainly hosted enough Uber Rock friendly bands for Ben Hughes to justify ruining his favourite daps. Checking out the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, The Gaslight Anthem, The Jim Jones Revue and Big Audio Dynamite, our man in the field dishes the dirt on the muddiest sounds this side of a stoner rock-a-thon.

Week 56 of Über Röck's high octane Album Cover Of The Week feature can be the rock that makes you roll, the reason for the season, it will call on you, telling you that before Stryper, before the yellow and black attack, there was a brown and white attack......

I can just imagine the concept meeting regarding the almost perversely alluring piece of cover art that awaits your eyes with just one click of that shiny red link; "What we need to pull in the kids is a leather-look sleeve.....a leather-look sleeve with a stupid friggin' bird slapped on it.....

This one nearly passed us by. Darrel Sutton reviewed this album for us over a year ago and we have waited until now for him to get his tattooed tribute to this, his favourite album cover of all time, finished in time for Slugfest.

We have spoken previously of Uber Rock Soldiers getting some of the stunning cover art featured in Uber Rock's startling Album Cover Of The Week feature painted on the backs of their bike jackets - today we move it up a notch. Anyone gettting this week's album cover tattooed on their person wins a week's holiday at Zoot's house.....
