A&R Legend John Kalodner Talks Aerosmith and Why Rock Won't Reach the Masses Again

Legendary A&R man John Kalodner, center, and a few friends. Courtesy John Kalodner A Whitesnake medallion is the only memento John Kalodner kept from his remarkable A&R career.  He keeps it in front of the desk and computer in his airy Hollywood Hills home, commemorating Whitesnake�s self-titled 1987 album, which featured the band�s epic pop-metal hits �Here I Go Again� and �Still of the Night.� It sold more than 8 million copies. Kalodner did A&R for it, which means he helped develop the band's sound and vision, as he also did for the post-rehab Aerosmith LPs that sold a bazillion copies during the 1980s and '90s. At one time or another, Kalodner also played a major role in the careers of AC/DC, Phil Collins, Cher, Bon Jovi, Peter Gabriel and even Jimmy Page.  During his own 30-plus year career in the music business, which began in Atlantic Records' publicity department in 1974, Kalodner was awarded a literal pile of platinum and gold records.

�Lovecraft Tormented� wall sculpture Like many of you oh-so-cool Dangerous Minds readers I am a collector of a great many THINGS. From records to books and a slew of action figures, my house is a mini-museum full of cool THINGS. I also happen to know that a number of our regular visitors to DM seem to have a thing for anything that associated with the great American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Which leads me to my post for today which features a number of intricate sculptures depicting some of Lovecraft�s eldritch entities such as �Dagon,� a creature that first made its appearance in Lovecraft�s short story of the same name from 1917; everyone�s favorite octopus-headed cosmic being, �Cthulhu�; Pickman�s model, and the nutty Nyarlathotep among others. I�m just aching to bring a few of these critters into my own menagerie of mayhem� Some of the sculptures in this post are available for purchase. That said they are not cheap�specifically that magnificent wall sculpture �Lov...

Heavy Metal Cruise of the Caribbean

Image
The "Independence of the Seas" set sail from Florida for the loudest sea cruise in the Caribbean. Some 60 bands are to play on board for 3,000 music fans who'll spend five days and nights dancing on the pool deck.  The organizers, "70,000 TONS OF METAL," claim it to be the original and biggest heavy metal sea cruise. The first such music festival on a cruise ship took place in 2011. This year will feature acts like the legendary bands Anthrax and Overkill as well as Uli Jon Roth, the former Scorpions guitarist. From Port Everglades, the cruise head to Labadee, on the island of Haiti, and back again. The cruise lasts four days, from February 2-6. Fans in Europe will be flocking to a head-banging feast in the Mediterranean rather than the Caribbean, when the 5th Full Metal Cruise takes place, from April 20-25, 2017. From Palma de Mallorca, the route will go past Gibraltar and M�laga before heading back to the island in the Balearics. As tickets tend t...
