Michael Thomas (ex-Faster Pussycat, Beautiful Creatures, Engines Of Aggression), best known to rock fans as the lead guitarist for Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses) has released a new animated lyric video for "What’s On Your Mind (Pure Energy)", originally recorded by American new wave band Information Society.

Thomas penned the track "Alive" which coincided with Adler’s New York Times Best Selling autobiography, My Appetite For Destruction'. The track made its world premier on The Howard Stern Show and was featured on ESPN, MTV and VH1 among others. In addition to his work with Adler, Thomas has collaborated with an array of artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to finalists from American Idol and The Voice. This latest offering showcases his dynamic diversity between tackling instruments and vocals, breathing new life into the notable hit. “I’ve loved this song since I was a kid,” comments Thomas. “It has a timeless 80’s light-hearted electric/pop vibe that I thought would be fun to reimagine with a heavier and more aggressive tone”.

In between recording and touring duties, Michael Thomas plans on releasing original music on the heels of this track. “When our shows were put on hold last year it gave me the opportunity to fall back into my creative space and realize how much I missed the cathartic process of writing music for myself,” Thomas reflects. “Sometimes you get caught up working for other artists and taking the time to focus on your personal outlets gets blurred in the hustle and pushed to the side. You always need to remind yourself to fix them on the horizon and keep moving forward - unpredictably and hopelessly optimistic. Just like the song.”
