Man, as an amateur guitar player myself, I gotta tell you – whenever I see the word ‘guitar’ in a title or something – I click it. I did the same thing with this video, and it sounds just like the average ambiental ‘feel the nature’ music that’s produced today; even better than most, actually. The point of this installation done by French artist Celeste Boursier-Mougenot was to use the rhythms of daily life to…
Do you know what day is today ? What do you mean ‘no’ ? Well then, you obviously haven’t been on Google’s homepage either. If you go there and click on their logo, this particular doodle will launch: This is because today, if he were still alive, Lennon would celebrate his 70th birthday. Great going, Google ! We would also like to take a moment and remember John Lennon, member of what is perhaps the…
Duff McKagan, ladies and gents, former bass player for Guns and Roses and Jane’s Addiction, currently singing with Velvet Revolver and Loaded scraped together a list of 10 things that you should and shouldn’t do if you want to make it big time in the music industry. “I must say there’s really nothing I’d chance about my story thus far. But it may be helpful if I could dispense a few dos and don’ts to…
Boy I’ve gotta tell you, Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me. What is she up to this time ? Quite a good cause if you ask me: she’s sending a message out to people, speaking against the US Senate policy commonly known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell”; basically, this doesn’t allow gay, lesbian, or even bisexual people to serve in the military. Which is just absurd, as Gaga points out: [caption id=”attachment_6623″ align=”alignleft” width=”500″…
It was and will always remain one of the most shocking moments in the history of music; the man of the moment and one of the most influential people in music, John Lennon, was shot to death by Mark Chapman. Now 55, Chapman has been denied parole every single time, despite working as a clerk in prison and and overall good behavior since incarcerated. But what could determine an otherwise average man in his mid…
Ronnie James Dio died on 16 May, 2010. I was in a pub, drinking a beer when somebody came in and gave the news. Half of the pub practically dropped their drinks; and jaws. It’s one of those things that, when you think about it, is sort of logical but… it just seems wrong. Anyway, I’m not gonna go into exaggerating stuff and start melodrama. Dio was a king of rock, and he will be…
I’m not really into the whole pop rock scene, but every once in a while you come across somebody fresh and quite talented that’s really worth it; it’s this case with Alex Calise. The guitarist/singer/songwriter doesn’t have complicated songs, just urban edgy in your face pop rock. So, we’re gonna do an interview with her, and if you want to ask her something, just add the question(s) in a comment, and we’ll be sure to…
Album name: Endgame Artist name: Megadeth Genre: Heavy/Thrash Metal Released: September 15, 2009 Label: Roadrunner Records ZME Rating: 10/10 Website: Megadeth.com It’s a well known fact that instead of blood, a fine mixture of metal, vodka and pure awesomeness runs through Dave Mustaine’s veins. It’s what led him to deliver some of what many fans consider to be Metallica (and metal’s) finest songs, create blazing solos and make millions of fans headbang, but it’s also…
Yeah, Kanye West is a douche; a really big one too, really. He probably wasn’t even stoned or something, which wouldn’t have made his deed any better, but it would have made him somewhat a less of a douche/loser (protip: you’re not scoring any points with Beyonce either). Of course the internet was all on it, which is what you expect, because, well, it’s the internet. He became a meme overnight and even president Obama…
