Jack Johnson has a very interesting story, after being a pro surfer who suffered from an accident, turned (during a butterfly sort of metamorphosis) into a great singer, which has the rare ability to put pure feeling into words and sounds. He is already a legendary songwriter, and the critics are fascinated by his work and unique signature sound. I’ve admired him since his first release, and he truly is a pleasantly unexpected appearance in…
Australian legendary hard rock icons AC/DC haven’t launched a new album for 7 years (even more when I stop to think about it), and despite this, they’re still on the lips of a huge army of fans. They’ve done so much for rock, but certainly they can do oh so much more; and what better way to do this rather than to release a record? “God, I’m ready,” bassist Cliff Williams said. The band will…
Some songs are way serious, while others are just hilarious. But the thing is a very serious tune could be turned into an even more hilarious one; this is what Weird Al does best. He can sing, he can rap, he can play guitar, and he’s a comedy genius. We’re gonna let the parodies speak for themselves so without further ado, here are two of his best parodies (hard to choose just two, probably we’ll…
Well Gene Simmons has entered a long list of celebrities who were caught in the act, with his pants down for the whole world to see. If you want to see the stuff, you can get it from here, but don’t open it if you’re in a public place. So his dirty little secret is called Elsa. She is a model, and one of the Frank’s Engery Drink Girls, a brand which Gene endorses (apparently…
We know how much Madonna has stirred up spirits in her life, and there probably are just few who have done as much as her which outraged. Face it, love her or hate her, Madonna did what she wanted, without considering the impact her actions have; and we love that about her!But as far as I’m concerned, until now nobody can beat Marilyn Monroe at that game! She’s undoubtely the best, even after all these…
In some cases, some bands would rather play in disguise, either as a marketing plan, either because they really want to make something special without being drawed back by some disadvantages of celebrity. Recently there has been a lot of fuss around such a band. A band strongly rumoured to be Green Day in disguise are set to release their debut single. Most people claim it’s obvious they are Green Day because of the guitar…
Former fab four Ringo will launch his 31-date, All-Starr Band tour at Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ont., on June 19-20. We’re very glad to see that he’s feeling great and he has such big plans!Last month he confirmed to Sun Media during a teleconference interview that he will be returning to Canada to prepare and launch his new tour. Also, Rolling Stones announced the 2008 lineup, which will be just fantastic! It includes…
Well Joe Perry was the featured guest on Eddie Trunk’s “Friday Night Rocks” radio show on New York’s Q104.3 FM February 15. In case you didn’t catch it, you missed out. Joe talked about several things, from his son to a new Aerosmith album.First, he revealed that he is doing two shows with his sons’ band Tab The Band. They will play Aerosmith stuff, Joe Perry stuff, original stuff, covers, and much more. Sounds pretty…
Extremly few bands have managed to achieve the class and showmanship which Iron Maiden embody in every one of their shows. Unfortunately, their more recent work, despite being quite good, is far from reaching the level of their golden age records. For those of you who feel a bit nostalgic, or just want a piece of brilliant music, this is the best place to start.The new release looks back to what could certainly be called…
This is to say the least. Now we’ve all (or almost all) had our nights of drinking strange stuff, but this drink is said to have the smell of sewage water. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve ever drank something that had that smell. His trip into the beverage world has not been quite crowned with succes, his own brand of absinthe has been panned by critics, who compared the…
