Yesterday was a sad, sad day for music. Electric guitar virtuoso and inventor Les Paul died, at the epic age of 94. It was him who you can call the father of the solid body electric guitar, as well as multitrack recording. His blazing riffs were absolutely the bomb and he performed with some of the biggest stars ever, also produced a lot of hits, but it was the inventions that made him the revered…
The British ‘rockers’ (really?) seem to have fallen in the dark cold claws of the global recession, with tickets for their latest tour being sold online as low as 1$. They’ve been touring the US since May this year and they’ve been bringing together quite a crowd, with about 50.000 people per show and they’re bringing the show back in the UK in September. If you buy tickets from shops, they’ll be somewhere in the…
Whoa this some day for music folks! Members from Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age teamed up and are already working on a new album, and definitely not one to be snubbed. Although some speculations have been made for quite a while (perhaps with some small variations), this became official actually thanks to a ‘marital indiscretion’. Yes, you can easily guess it’s Homme’s wife that leaked. Brody Dalle, also playing in…
Today my friends, is a sad day for music, because one of the biggest artists in the history of mankind has passed away, just when he had planned a comeback. Most, if not all of us danced in our home to one of his songs, we all looked up to him, and we all probably made fun of him when all the scandals were out. But today, we pay homage to the man who drove…
It was a sweet day when we decided to go in Barcelona to see the Australian living legends. So, along with game master Tibi Puiu, a few friends and a handful of whisky and tequila bottles we head out for Spain’s cultural capital. We tried to visit as much as possible there, so we missed about 15 minutes from the opening band’s show, The Answer. There was also a Spanish band before them, but I…
Album name: Roadsinger Artist name: Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam Genre: Folk, Rock, Pop Released: May 5, 2009 Label: Umvd Labels ZME Rating: 10(!)/10 Website: Yusuf Islam When Cat Stevens said he would never sing ever again in the late 70s, I was devastated and it seems it was just yesterday. Nah, I’m just messing with you, but still… Here was this absolutely brilliant young man that had conquered mankind just giving up on everything he had…
Album name: Shallow life Artist name: Lacuna Coil Genre: Metal…ish Released: April 20, 2009 Label: Century Media ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: Lacuna Coil The first thing that has to be said about this album is they’ve worked with producer Don Gilmore, who also teamed up with Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park, so at first I was thinking this album is going to be poppish and more mainstream. I was right. I also remember…
Well, according to the man himself, he has it all figured out, which is why he’s setting the studio on fire. Bad news is this means he’ll delay his tour in order to finish the follow up to 2007’s double-platinum album “Rock N Roll Jesus.” “I really feel like I’ve kind of got this figured out,” the rapper and singer-songwriter tells Billboard. “I think I can make an equally good record, if not better than…
I’m pretty confused about as to where RATM stand at the moment: they split up in 2000 only to reunite to tour 7 years later, but pretty much all the members are involved in other projects that are recording albums, only RATM is not recording. One Day As A Lion is made up of frontman Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, and their self entitled…
Well times are changing, and (most) artists are having a rough time adapting to it. But as you could have easily guessed, Madonna is not among them. Yeah, she’s seen it all, done it all, and well, like it or not, she kicks ass mtv-wise today too. So what happened is Guy Oseary, her manager, send out a tweet asking for suggestions for what songs to put on this album, and as you could have…
