This song features one of my favorite guitar solos as I love the shredding style. Fleischman's vocals are also powerful.

Boyz Are Gonna Rock (2003 Digital Remaster)
Happy 30th anniversary to the self titled Vinnie Vincent Invasion album which is one of the great rock albums. Vinnie Vincent Invasion was fronted by former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent who is unquestionably one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. Shame his career never went anywhere and became a recluse because he should be known as one of the greatest guitarist. Outside of his work with KISS and VVI, Vincent also worked as a staff songwriter for Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi. The band also featured future Slaughter bassist and co-founder Dana Strum who also gained fame for introducing Randy Rhoads to Ozzy Osbourne and then discovering Jake E. Lee for Osbourne. Future Nitro and Nelson drummer Bobby Rock was the drummer and Robert Fleischmann was the vocalist having previously worked for Journey from June-November 1977 but did no albums.

On June 18, 2014, Bellator MMA and Viacom made the announcement that Bellator CEO and chairman Bjorn Rebney had left the company and replacing him would be former Strikeforce CEO and Founder Scott Coker. In the two years since he became CEO, Coker has made many changes to the point where the organization is, in many ways, not the same as it once was. So what has Scott Coker gotten right? What has he gotten wrong? We'll take a look at both as there's plenty of both.

Don Frye: A Hall of Fame Career Full of What Could've Beens
Don Frye: A Hall of Fame Career Full of What Could've Beens

On July 10, 2016, MMA Legend and Pioneer Don "The Predator" Frye was rightfully inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame. The induction could be considered long overdue and occurred on the twentieth anniversary he began his career. During his on and off fifteen year career, Frye had a legendary run that featured one of the greatest rookie years in the sports history to fun fights to tournament victories to beating good fighters for the time. Then, beginning in 1997, Frye's career began a period that would plague him for the remaining 14 years that involved sabbaticals, injuries, not taking time off at certain periods, addiction, and lack of motivation. While Frye would have many great fights, scored some very good wins, and lost to mostly good fighters, he never achieved the same potential that he showed in 1996. This article will showcase some of Frye's best moments but also bring up the stuff that preventing him from doing even greater things as we take a look at his career from start to finish. Bear in mind that I'm a huge Don Frye fan and he was one of the first fighters I followed when I first got into MMA so this isn't meant to be insulting him or questioning his legacy.
