Bon Scott has lived, died, and has been remember as an ultimate rock god; he is the Australian rock and roll icon. His unique voice, energic appearance, great lyrics and overall fantastic charisma made him one of the most loved and cherished people in the world at the time. Unfortnately, he died in February of 1980, after an acute alcohol poisoning. Some 28 years after that, some of Australia’s finest rock bands (Rose Tattoo, The…
Ace Frehley, who used to play guitar for Kiss says that he’s treating his sobriety and legite lifstyle very seriously; not only does he stay clean and sober, but he also requires that from the band members he is currently playing with. He is currently on a solo tour on which (as strange as it may sound) he has forbidded drugs and booze. The recovering alcoholic and drug user could be a great example of…
Avril Lavigne has a simple description for her upcoming live production: “It rocks,” Lavigne said during a recent teleconference. “It’s very much me, but just the next level. And it’s exciting because the reason why I wanted to bring in more [dancers] and I got a new band and added more players to it is because I wanted more energy on stage.” No comment here. I can take this. This could be a good thing…
As it turns out, North Korean officials have invited blues/rock guitarist Eric Clapton to play a concert in the communist state. This comes as a very big surprise, because North Korean authorities have long shunned rock and pop music, sistematically rejecting any chance of getting great singers to perform there.Ah, but there’s a catch here. Kim Jong Chol, the Swiss-educated son of national leader Kim Jong Il, is reportedly a fan of Eric Clapton. He…
Oh man, when a titan such as Bob Dylan makes plans, you know it’s gonna be good; and when this record is going to be based on some unfinished lyrics by country singer Hank Williams, it’s gonna be great. When he also asks Jack White, Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams and other to work with him…you know it’s going to be just fantastic! As the story goes, Dylan asked a series of musicians to write music…
In a previous article, I expressed how much it surprised me to see the likes of Jack Johnson top the charts, with music that is nowhere near mainstream. In my opinion, music desperatly needs this acoustic/folk/soft rock genre to thrive, because it’s quite unique and distinct from what is generally sung today, bringing a much needed breath of fresh air, inspiration, and a fantastic message. Aren’t you tired of a world filled with Britney and…
Well mates, concerning this record I’ve heard pretty much anything that could be imagined, and even more. It seems to be just an illusion, closing in on you and making promises only to dissapear again in the shadow of Axl’s dark robe. His children, led by Buckethead, seem ready to continue the music, but the dark man himself is not ready. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Those answers don’t make sense anymore….
Quick history lesson, if there’s somebody who doesn’t know what the band was about: The Kinks were an English pop/rock group formed in 1963, and categorised as a British Invasion band, along with the other members of the so-called Big Four (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who). Now despite the fact that they haven’t made it big in the way that the other three bands have, they are still viewed as one of…
If you’re among those who are waiting for a SOAD reunion, an album, or even a show…well it’s probably not going to happen. It’s unpleasant to talk about this, it’s even more unpleasant to think that one of the best modern metal bands has permanently dismantled. In fact, former guitarist Daron Malakian has warned optimistic fans the band will never reunite. After taking a break in 2006 to focus on other projects – frontman Serj…
This is just one of those things that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not because of the act itself, but rather because the man who made the sale is Paul Mawhinney, a 68-year-old man who is legally blind after having suffered a couple of strokes. The Pennsylvania man says he can finally retire because someone has bought his massive collection of vinyl albums, singles and CDs on EBay for the price he…
