After 10 years and millions of views, i’ve decided to put Wicked Rock on hiatus…one that may last forever.

This site always put passion first, mine especially, but that’s hard to maintain considering how apathetic the world has become. We live in the zeitgeist of the instant fix. Social media took over the past 3 years but even that is dying in lieu of instant messaging. There is less reading and interaction, comments and sharing in this modern world…and how quickly that tsunami arrived. Sure, there’ll be the odd internet success but it’s not as free as it used to be. The corporations are taking over.

Nevertheless, and thankfully, no one can kill music! Every year, i’m amazed at the quality out there. Enjoy it, love it! One day it will return as real culture. But i, for now, shall leave this place. I have many other sites and they, as passions, also take up time that i battle to find. The world is in trouble and we need to fight the good fight. Passions have to come second. Social causes first!

Visit me at my my personal blog – www.WickedMike.com. Subscribe to my whacky world of opinions, jokes, politics, women, poetry and, of course, music…i may even transfer all of this there…and undoubtedly i’d write the occasional review. When music’s throbs this hard in my blood, it’s a part of me.

Below, i leave reviews of 2 of my favourite bands from Durban, South Africa (my old, home town). Enjoy GRYND RODD MUSE and HABIT TO.  The featured video is one of the greatest songs of all time in one of the greatest movies of all time. Watch it. Feel something!

And always keep rocking!
