We’re having some great comebacks ladies and gents, and Black Sabbath is definitely in the top. What are they planning? Do they still have it? Has their style changed? So many questions, so much eagerness… but now, we get our first hint, and it sounds awesome: the album will be “satanic blues”. It may just be me getting a little carried away, but if this sounds like I imagine it – it’s gonna be awesome….
Supergroups are not really a novelty or a shock, but what Dave Grohl is planning is just crazy: he wants to create a group called the Sound City Players, with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear (long time colaborator, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett, Alain Johannes, Chris Goss, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk and more (not…
There’s been a lot of discussion about the upcoming posthumous Jimi Hendrix album “People, Hell And Angels” – and I know I’ve been really holding my breath working for it. Now, we can listen to the first song, simply called “Somewhere”. Go ahead, listen to it. This is classic Jimi, classic drenched guitar sound, classic solo – it’s got it all! Also, the bass from Stephen Stills is just spot on. After listening to it…
The experimental band which features Thom Yorke and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers released the studio version of their song, ‘Judge Jury and Executioner’. The track – which was first played live in 2009 in Los Angeles was aired on radio several times. Their new album, ‘Amok’ is set to launch on Februar 25, and it promises to be quite the experience. Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich (also involved in the project) spoke…
David Bowie is back, ladies and gents! He surprised both critics and fans with his first song in ten years, releasing a new song on his 66th anniversary. “Where Are We Now?” was released yesterday on short notice, and after just one day, it comfortably sits at 1st place in iTunes, surpassing Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Will.i.am. He will also launch his first album since “Reality” in 2003, and bookmakers already gave it 1-6 odds…
Brazilian trash metal legends Sepultura have released their own brand of beer to celebrate their 25th anniversary; being a man who a) loves Seputura and b) loves beer – it’s pretty hard not to love this. However, the beer (called SEPULTURA Weizen) is described as having “a turbidity caused by natural yeast in suspension” and “aroma and flavors of banana and clove from a special strain of yeast that produces the chemicals that lead to…
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the members of Nirvana reuniting with Paul McCartney for a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert last week. They actually performed a brand new song, “Cut Me Some Slack”, rather than go for any Nirvana or Beatles tracks. They went on to perform Saturday Night Live, which left fans asking a logical question: will they do some more stuff together? According to bass player Krist Novoselic, the answer…
The trio from San Diego, California, started out as a recording project of Nathan Williams. Wavves released several 7″s as well as a cassette before their two following albums, and now they are working on a new, yet untitled album. “Sail to the Sun” is the record’s first single – which is about as good as it gets when it comes to surfer rock; it’s the kind of thing you wanna jump around and get…
As I was telling you in a previous post, for the Sandy relief concert which took place last night, Nirvana’s Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic teamed up with Beatles legend Paul McCartney in what has to be the most unlikely reunion in years. Kurt and the guys stated on more than one occasion that they are big fans of the Beatles, but who could have guessed something like this would happen? Is it just a…
Grunge pioneers Mudhoney are already working hard on their new album, and although a tracklist is yet to be released, but we have been given an LP. The group’s ninth studio LP was recorded at Seattle’s Avast! Recording Co. between April and September, and follows 2008’s The Lucky Ones. Singer-guitarist Mark Arm explained he suffered a bit of writers block, and it is really hard to settle for a final cut, but the results will…
