The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Slash, the self-titled solo album by the former Guns N Roses guitarist, for only $3.99.

The sale began earlier today and will probably last through tomorrow.

The album, which is Slash‘s first official solo record, contains 14 songs, and plenty of guest performances by people like Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Chris Cornell, Iggy Pop, Lemmy, Kid Rock, and many more.

The CD version is selling for $11.97 (33% off the regular price of $17.98). You can check out the review we did of Slash back when the album came out this past April.

Looks like Quiet Riot is back.

That’s right, you heard me, Quiet Riot, the 1980s heavy metal band famous for their cover of Slade’s “Cum On Feel The Noize,” is back on tour and with new singer Mark Huff.

Check out the band’s MySpace page to listen to a sampler of classic tunes they re-recorded with Huff on vocals. The sample track has “Cum On Feel The Noize,” “Metal Health/Bang Your Head,” and “Slick Black Cadillac,” and I have to say, it sounds damn good. Also, below, you can watch a video of Huff performing “Metal Health/Bang Your Head” with Quiet Riot at a show they played last month in Denver.

Except for a one-year break-up between 2003 and 2004, Quiet Riot has still been making albums and touring all these years up until original singer Kevin Dubrow‘s death from an accidental overdose of cocaine in 2007.

Drug abuse, alcoholism, animal blood, quad bike crashes, his wife — many have tried and some have come incredibly close to handing his (im)mortal soul over to the cold embrace of the grim reaper, but it seems nothing can kill rock super-god, Ozzy Osbourne.

I am a huge fan of Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and listening to those albums inevitably led me to the Ozzy solo albums. When I listen to any new Ozzy album I pretty much know what I’m going to get — a livelier, faster, even lighter sound than his previous band, it’s just whether he can deliver on all that hope I reserve for the original Black Sabbath lead singer. So far he hasn’t let me down and this year the Prince of Darkness released his tenth solo album, Scream.

The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Ozzy Osbourne‘s Bark At the Moon for only $3.99.

This version of Bark At the Moon is the 2002 remaster, so it has some changes from the original recording, but if you don’t already own this album or aren’t familiar with it, this won’t matter to you — and for four bucks, I’d say it’s worth it to get these awesome songs.

Ok, $4 typically buys you four songs, so here’s four tunes from the 10-song album that will make this purchase worth it: “Bark At The Moon,” “You’re No Different,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel,” “Waiting For Darkness” – bam! money well spent. But, take it from me, the whole album is great, trust me.

The album, which was released in 1983, was Ozzy’s third studio effort and the first Ozzy record to feature lead guitarist Jake E. Lee. Lee had big shoes to fill at the time, as he was stepping in for guitar god Randy Rhoads, who had been killed the year before in a plane crash while on tour for Ozzy’s second album Diary Of A Madman. But seriously, folks, Jake E. Lee is an amazing guitarist and definitely shines on Bark At The Moon.

Like it or not, top hat-wearing, chain-smoking, former drug-taking ex-alcoholic but permanent guitar god Slash will always be remembered for and compared to an album he released over 20 years ago with Guns n Roses. Appetite For Destruction is one of the greatest albums of all time. It stills sounds as fresh to me as the first time I heard it, even after many years and hundreds of listens. Since Appetite thrust the sweaty, leather-covered loins of Guns n Roses into public view, Saul “˜Slash’ Hudson has released four more albums with GnR, two with Slash’s Snakepit, two with Velvet Revolver, and now comes album number ten, simply titled: Slash.

The album Slash is guitarist Slash’s first solo album. Complicated sentences aside, this is an album that boasts an array of rock gods who sing, shriek, or play over music written by Slash: Lemmy, Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop to name but a few. There are also some not so godlike guests, and one I had never heard of (turns out Adam Levine is the singer of Maroon 5. Thanks Google!).
