OK, this is definitely one of the biggest issues of the music industry – it could just be the biggest. With the ever growing influence and power of the internet, it’s only natural that artist would seek a cheaper yet more effective way of promoting himself. Also, the internet has some other advantages, such as the fact that it appeals to a way larger number of people and there are no deadlines, no nothing. After…
There is not one single band in this world that sounds even close to Pink Floyd; what they did together was just unbelievable! Now, they’re still continuing their work more or less separate, but the headlight is definitely pointed at David Gilmour. Now, he released Live In Gdansk, an album recorded in front of 50,000 people at the shipyards in Gdansk, Poland. Recorded in Gilmour’s 2006 summer tour, it’s the only gig in which he…
Artist name: R.E.M. Album name: Accelerate Label: Warner Bros Gender: Rock/Alternative Release date: April 1, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.remhq.com I used to love R.E.M.! Despite the fact that I never bought that ‘best band in the whole world’ crap, they were good; they were more than good, they were fantastic! They just brought this positive energy that was just captivating. Then they turned really political and stuff and so the past three albums dispelled…
The best damn tour? Yeah, right. The one thing she could have done to erase the not so great image (for true fans and music listeners) she’s created was to make a great tour; and that’s what she promised to do. Well… she didn’t In news that will undoubtedly make Hillary Duff (her arch rival) a bit happier, Lavigne stated that she was rendered speechless after coming down with acute laryngitis. This alleged illness forced…
That’s right ladies and gents, Pearl Jam has commenced recording another studio effort, which will actually be their ninth studio album. For this purpose they’re working with producer Brendan O’Brien, guitarist Mike McCready told Seattle radio station KISW last Thursday (May 1). Despite the fact that just “four or five” songs are complete so far, McCready said that the band hopes they will be able to release this album in 2008. Aside from Pearl Jam,…
I always loved tops, charts, and anything that included a list and good music. Also, I just blend with the music every time I hear a sweet rock song. So when Close-Up made a list of top 100 albums in metal… no need for more to be added. Close-Up is Sweden’s longest-running music magazine, and to celebrate its 100th issue they released this top 100 albums in metal, hard rock, hardcore, punk and extreme rock…
Watch out people, it’s hypocrisy time! At least that’s what my spider sense tells me. When I first read that Radiohead were going green, I thought it’s great stuff. When I read further what going green means for them… my jaw dropped like Britney Spears’ image. They’ve decided not to travel to the US for a promotional performance because of concerns over global warming. Sure, that will really work for their blinded fans and screaming…
AC/DC are the kind of band that’s so great you can never get enough of them. Actually they’re not a kind of band, they’re their own kind of band! So good news for all of you who love their fantastic music: they’ve finished recording and are currently mixing the effort for a late 2008 release. Brian Johnson released this piece of information Tuesday, April 22. Johnson has apparently left the studio in Vancouver, British Columbia,…
Oh boy, here we go again. I must have heard this 10 times at least, every time from a reliable source or something… This album is getting more and more like UFOs and the moon landing in 1969 – every time you hear about it it sounds less and less true. Especially since their guitarist left to rejoin NIN (no, not Slash…), and the rumors that this album is actually going to be bluegrass ….
Organizers of one of Britain’s best-known music festivals on Tuesday have backed up their decision to keep Jay-Z as the headline, despite the complaints received from several rock stars, “headlined” by Noel Gallagher. The outdoor Glastonbury festival is really important for brits, and well… most just don’t think it’s right to have a rap artist as a headliner. This of course caused the disappointing ticket sales, as it hasn’t sold out yet, contrary to previous…
