Unplugged is the first live album (third overall) by American recording artist Alicia Keys. It was recorded as part of the television program MTV Unplugged on July 4, 2005 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York City, and released in the United States on October 11, 2005 by J Records, including songs from her multi-platinum albums Songs in A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys. The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at number one, with first-week sales of 196,000 copies in the U.S. and over 245,000 copies worldwide—the highest debut for an MTV Unplugged album since Nirvana's 1994 MTV Unplugged in New York and the first Unplugged by a female artist to debut at number one. The album has sold over one million copies in the United States and over 2.5 million copies worldwide. Additionally, it received four nominations for the 2006 Grammy Awards, including Best R&B Album.
Released just weeks after the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame succumbed and put "the hottest band in the world!" on their honor roll, the Kiss 40 compilation landed in order to celebrate four decades of rock & rollin' all night, and partying every day…
2014 anthology spanning 1973-2013 featuring one track off every album including live LP's & their 1978 solo releases! Also includes previously unreleased 1977 demo 'Reputation' + 20-page booklet. The Japanese edition features an exclusive track "Hell or Hallelujah (Live at Budokan 2013)".
Alicia Keys isn't interested in the accoutrements that seem to mark the success of today's stars such as a vanity clothing line, a perfume and a reality show.
However, the multi-talented singer/songwriter is ready to delve into acting. Not that the nine-time Grammy winner has turned her back on music.
Although this live album was recorded years before Herbert Grönemeyer's commercial peak, the songwriter had plenty of hits in his catalog at the time of its release, many of which are reprised here. Several months prior, Grönemeyer broke the language barrier on MTV Unplugged by becoming the first non-English-speaking artist to perform on the show. He sounds similarly confident here, breezing his way through singles like "Bochum" and "Deine Liebe Klebt" to an audience that sings along to every word.
Revenge is the sixteenth studio album by KISS, released on May 19, 1992. It was the band's first album after the death of long-time drummer Eric Carr in November 1991. His replacement, Eric Singer, had played with Black Sabbath, Brian May, Alice Cooper and even Paul Stanley, among others. The album was dedicated to Carr, and the last track ("Carr Jam 1981") was a demo he had recorded soon after joining the group. One modification to the song, however, was the dubbing of Bruce Kulick's guitar over Ace Frehley's, which originally appeared. The main riff of the song was used as the basis for the Frehley's Comet song "Breakout", found on 1987's Frehley's Comet.
