A few days ago we announced in an article that everything seems to announce the new Metallica album for February. Now sources from within the band’s record label announced that album is now expected to hit the stores in September. Even more than that, the band is still in the studio! Fans can at least think about the fact that the last time Metallica spent so much time on an album was in 1991 and…
Velvet Revolver are definetly a mean green music machine. Their previous release, Libertad was acclaimed and was one of the best rock releases of the year. Blazing guitar parts, hard vocals and agressive lyrics made it an album which you have to listen to; and you can either love it or hate it, there’s no middle way.But the boys are not settling; instead, they are going on a tour and even planning a new album!…
Hope you enjoyed last week’s article, and you find this to be just as epic (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, read and you’ll find out); this comes from metalstorm.ee too. So without further ado, here it is: 1. Denim and leather went out with Saxon. Silk and steel is the new thing. 2. If you do mix genres, power metal is still the dominant type. (e.g. blackened power metal) This is largely…
This strike has been going on for some time and I’m beggining to wonder how things are going to turn out. I think they have a very good point and every right to keep staying on strike, but at the same time I’m curios about how much longer this is going to last. Well Hollywood writers have decided against picketing the upcoming Grammy Awards but the Writers Guild of America’s board of directors has yet…
After a year filled with all sort of reunions it seems we are going to have another share of reunited bands. This time we are talking about Triumph. They made history during the late 1970s and 80s and made a name for themselves as a great live band, with guitarist Rik Emmett being compared with Eddie Van Halen numerous time for his guitar chops. They released over 10 albums in their carreer. Now, members Rik…
After a lifetime of playing soldout to crowds and in every corner of the world, U2 have done what their fans do all the time: line up to see a u2 show. That concert was “U2 3D,” a film of the band’s 2005-06 Vertigo tour, shot at several shows in South America with new 3-D technology.”I was really hoping we weren’t crap after all these years. Luckily we weren’t,” guitarist The Edge told The Associated…
Def Leppard has set a March 18 tentative U.S. release date (one day earlier internationally) for its new album, entitled “Songs from the Sparkle Lounge”. If things work out then it will be the first release since “Yeah!”, which was a collection of covers of songs by artists who had influenced the band. In fact their latest original release is 2002’s “X”. The first single is a song called “Nine Lives”, which features a guest…
Regarding this topic, people are divided into two sides: those who admit they eagerly await the new Metallica album and those who don’t. OK so their last album was… not quite we expected to say the least. But we all expect the next one especially since it promises a lot. The gods have a chance to redeem themselves and my bet is they won’t give it up. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich (who else?) speaks about…
The BRITs, are the British Phonographic Industry’s annual music awards. This year they seem to be very interesting with nominees including Montreal band Arcade Fire, Toronto singer Leslie Feist and Vancouver crooner Michael Buble. That is just naming a few. Arcade Fire were nominated for best international group, while their CD, “Neon Bible” is up for best international album. Feist is going to compete in the category of best international female artist, while Buble was…
Well Tom Petty may be the official Super Bowl performer (sort of) but the week leading up the Superbowl is going to feature a whole lot of other performance including the 30-year-old rapper known as Ludacris. He has been selected to play at ESPN The Magazine’s Next party Feb. 1, which will highlight future trends in sports, technology and lifestyle. These are the kind of events which you don’t pick; they pick you.”(It) feels…
