Andrei MihaiI’ve told you before… we don’t do politics. Not here. We don’t pick sides, we’re not from America, not republicans not democrats not anything. Although music has some common points with politics we’ve avoided them as much as possible. But when a music titan such as Bruce Springsteen, whose music is oh so political says Barack Obama “speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years.”, something’s worth looking at…
Anthrax opens for Iron Maiden
I already bought my ticket for the Iron Maiden tour! Hope you have yours, cause there’s pretty much sold out; except for ebay perhaps, but that’s always taking a chance. Anyway, what could be better than going to an extraordinary event such as an Iron Maiden gig? Going to an Iron Maiden gig and seeing Anthrax too! That’s right, the metal legends have announced a short spring tour, kicking off with a warmup club show…
Led Zep still hangs by a thread
The soap opera continues ladies and gents! After the already infamous O2 gig and their meeting in January it seemed that everything was going towards a tour in September. But then, Robert Plant stepped in and spoke his mind: Led Zep will not tour. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones are featured in the new issue of Uncut reflecting on Led Zeppelin’s long history and what lies ahead for them as a band….

Judas Priest’s much-anticipated new album, “Nostradamus” will be released in Germany on June 13 via Sony/BMG, on June 15 in the rest of Europe and June 17 in North America. It promises to be really something; aside from the music it will be delivered in a ewel case, as a deluxe digibook and as a special box set containing the new album on three LPs, a 48-page book and a poster. But fans are concerned…
Green Day admit they’re Foxboro Hot Tubs… go figure
In a completely shocking move (really that shocking?), Green Day have revealed that they are in fact, Foxboro Hot Tubs. We told you about some “speculation” a while back, but it was obvious that they were Green Day. The band added: “We think that the only similarity [between the Hot Tubs and Green Day] is that we are the same band. That is basically the only similarity, We are Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard,…
Radiohead launch social networking site
Well it’s been a while since we said anything about Radiohead (yeah, right), and they would probably just die without the lack of attention. Yeah, guess what’s their next move? In their next internet assault Radiohead have launched their own social networking site at waste-central.com. I can just smell the lines…Hey, I’m a power user at the Radiohead social network! I made Radiohead front page, etc. So keeping things (as) serious (as possible), it’s not…
Guitar Hero III Songwriter Slams Game
Well, Guitar Hero is back to haunt us again! It’s not enough that youtube is filled with kids playing Dragonforce tunes like gods, or that most kids would rather play guitar hero than a real guitar, now it’s even turned against the songwriters of the songs. Well actually, it seems songwriters have turned against the game. Charlie Daniels, writer of the song ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’, has slammed the makers of ‘Guitar Hero…

The tour will include 65 gigs and it will begin in Ohio. “The story’s not…
GN’R Guitarist Rejoins Nine Inch Nails
Robin Finck, the man who played in Nine Inch Nails in the mid 1990s then again in 2000, has rejoined the band. Well they say that 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but now they can do just that. After quite some years in which Chinese Democracy has not been released and after the pretty lame NIN release, Ghosts, there was a need for a change in both bands. Finck toured with Trent Reznor and…
Scott Weiland disses Velvet Revolver
Just yesterday I was saddened but not surprised to see Velvet Revolver kicking Scott Weiland out of the band. They claim that his lifestyle was almost unbearable, complaining about trips to rehab and that kind of stuff; but it’s only fair that the man speaks up for himself. dished Billboard reports that Weiland was very upset about the statement questioning his commitment to the group, when he said that the group was already dead, on…
