It’s official now, metal masters Megadeth are going to start work on another studio effort, which will definitely please all of us. This comes after the dvd set, called Warchest and their previous album, United Abominations. Here’s what Dave McRobb, Megadeth’s official webmaster had to say, via the website: “So…. I was talking to my beloved master [Dave Mustaine] tonight on the phone and he wanted me to let you all know that things are…
Wednesday, 23 July, I had the luck of being at a Metallica concert, in Bucharest, at Cotroceni stadium. Living not that far from it and knowing the city pretty much, I arrived early in the morning to check some parts of the city. Some good and bad news came up from then: some parts of the city looked great, with amazing architecture, while some were in very bad shape. The traffic was almost really stuck…
So here we are boys and girls, and once again it’s WTF Time. This weekend, while Fergie was singing in Coast Mesa, California, Slash joined her on the stage to sing some tunes, including Sweet Child O’ mine and Heart’s “Barracuda.”. As you can probably guess from that moment Slash totally had the fans, leaving a Fergie that performed pretty well in second place. But despite her good performance, she was absolutely nowhere near Axl…
Both Within Temptation and Armin van Buuren are from the Netherlands; but that’s where the similarities end. The band shows a brilliant metal/goth spirit, being probably the best artist of the genre while Armin is considered by most to be the best DJ in the whole world. But still, it’s a pretty large bridge to cross. While I have to say the song is a great trance one, it’s nowhere near anything WT’s greatest work….
That’s right ladies and gents, the (probably) most expected album of the year has been officially named. After many many controversies and other stuff I’ll barely mention here (they first said it will be released in February then delayed it for September, then Dave Grohl wrote them an open letter, and many other things) they finally set the name for their new album. Wat’s it called? Death Magnetic. When I first heard this, I had…
The gorgeous blonde has recently lost some fans due to what they call a shift to country music. But her response is the same, no matter how many times she is asked about this. The acclaimed singer-songwriter is trying to explain why even though the music on her seventh record, “Perfectly Clear,” is a departure from the smooth dance-rock of 2003’s “0304”. Basically what she said is “I haven’t gone country. I didn’t wake up…
It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything about the epic power/speed metallers from Dragonforce. Well, as it turns out, they’ve been working really hard to release their new album, “Ultra Beatdown”, on August 25 via Roadrunner Records. Band members also took the time to talk about this album. Guitarist Sam Totman says: “It’s not going to be majorly different. But hopefully the melodies will be nicer, the guitar solos will be better, the production…
The rumors surrounding Led Zep seem more intense and close than ever. During this weekend, these rumors have been intensified by the fact that they have collaborated with Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium. What should we understand from this? Well basically what happened is that during an encore requested by fans from the Foos, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the band at the huge venue. I don’t know if anybody expected this (I…
Did I tell you how much I love and admire Bob Dylan? Today? In my humble opinion, you can use your fingers to count those who have just half as much experience as him in the music industry. In fact, who doesn’t like him? Even the Counting Crows say in their hit “Mr. Jones” “I wanna be Bob Dylan”. So, here’s how he just rightfully bashed the music industry. Speaking to The Times, Dylan said:…
We’ve written about Josh Groban before, about what would become Amazon best-seller Noel. I thought I knew him – I honestly did! But then, he did something to completely change my mind about him as a man: he appeared in this hilarious video (NSFW), along with Silverman, Kimmel, Damon, Affleck and many more. Now, after watching Awake, I had to change my mind about him as a musician too. Filmed in 2007 in Salt Lake…
