The legendary prog rock Pink Floyd, arguably the best band ever, are best known for their distinguished use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows; they revolutionized a big part of music as we know it today, but if producer Bob Ezrin had his way, the band might have switched luscious soundscapes for processed beats during their late 1980s comeback. While working on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason”, Ezrin had suggested that the…
If you ask me, Manowar music makes me want to drink and defend my country from demonic legions, but according to bassist Joey de Maio, it’s all about drinking and love. In a recent interview on Russian Ekburg TV, he discussed the band’s sound in general: “[..] heavy metal is about power and sound. And we have the most powerful people, so we have to give them top sound, the top people deserve the top…
I’m pretty sure Ozzy Osborne is going to outlive the entire human species, especially considering how his genome actually mutated and now thrives on alcohol, but apparently, he only has one thing let on his bucket list: a collaboration with Adele. “I’d die a happy man, I think she’s f–king great. She’s not f–king botox-faced, she’s a normal, healthy girl who speaks in her native accent.” He was discussing Black Sabbath producer Rick Rubin’s involvement…
Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger has revealed that he is working on the new Pearl Jam album. We found this out (how else ?) from his twitter, where he posted: “In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam’s new album.” I’m really curious about this Pearl Jam album, apparently it will be a little different than what they’ve done. Guitarist Mike McCready has described it as a cross between punk…
Well I know most of you could not possibly care less about this, but I’m a long standing Man United fan, so I’ll beg your forgiveness on this one. Back when defender Gary Neville was the big gun there, rock was all that was played in the locker room. But following his retirement and the infusion of new players, rap and R&B took over – mostly supported by Patrice Evra. Thankfully though, goalkeeper David De…
Mumford & Sons banjo player Winston Marshal has recently confessed that their attitude is not really Rock ‘n’ Roll, but a little more on the soft side – as if that was needed from a band who has a banjo player. “We’re not, like, hard men. We’re emotional. We’re not rock’n’roll. If AC/DC apologized, that’d be the end of their career. But someone doesn’t say hello to us and we’re like, ‘I cannot believe the…
30 Seconds to Mars will be back with a new album pretty soon – May 20 to be more exact. ‘Love Lust Faith + Dreams’ is the name, and Jared Leto is the game; not only will he be fronting the band, but he’s also producing it, alongside Steve Lillywhite. “This is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly…
I’ve known this picture for quite a long time; it was taken by photographer Roger Stonehouse and it features ‘a punk and a monk’ – two brothers, people of the same blood, but entirely different lives, attitudes and spirits. It represents the idea of new and old clashing, though they sprang from the same place. Seriously, I love this photo; and I like Fall Out Boy… but somebody’s got to say it: what the actual…
If there ever were a question as to who runs the Beyoncé/Jay-Z household, here’s your answer: It’s Beyoncé. It was the singer herself who explained that… well… she wears the pants. Personally, I like her more in a dress, but oh well, what are you gonna do. The singer posted her new track, “Bow Down/I Been On,” on her website Sunday, without a heads-up or explanation, but I guess that’s what she really needed after…
Eddie Van Halen and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello will appear on a new album together – but take a wild guess on what the still of the album is going to be… I dare you! Rapper LL Cool J is recruiting the guitar heroes to appear on his new album “Authentic”, where the legendary guitarists will appear on different tracks alongside other notable musicians. Van Halen is currently preparing to get back…
