A few weeks ago we reported a bit about this year’s Grammy Awards nominees, noting, among others, that the Grammys are finally stepping the game and picking up. The last two editions were disastrous, from multiple perspectives, especially ratings-wise. The nominees are a bit more relevant (don’t expect for miracles, though), the organization seems better and even the promotion process is a lot more interesting, the latest project being a cool awareness campaign, featuring various…
I may piss some people off with this post, but this sounds pretty…notable, to say. We’ve written I think douzens of posts about the alleged Led reunion, speculating rumors and officials press releases alike, but we’ve still yet to see any palpable. Today, Jimmy Page’s manager confirmed that the band is set to go on tour and also intend to record a new record, all without Robert Plant. The band last played together at last…
One of our most anticipated releases for 2009, U2’s eleventh full studio release, has finally received a title and release date, after months and months of silence around the subject. U2’s new album, “No Line on the Horizon,” is set to for a March 2nd/3rd release date (I’m not sure whether it’s on the 2nd or 3rd, yet. A lot of blogs have been mixing the date up, ’till now). The production for the record…
Whoaaa aren’t we loving this!! After the Velvet Revolver soap opera, after going back to lifetime love STP, Scott Weiland decided it’s time to move on in his musical carreer. Again. After releasing his second album, he spoke to USA today about that. According to him, writing songs that would become hits is the least of his priorities at the moment. “There’s a beauty in being part of a band, when there’s equality and trust….
This came up as really strange, when I first read about it in The Sun. Apparently Axl Rose is nowhere to be found for the last two months, fact that apparently aggravates the hell out of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ label, Geffen. It seems Geffen is really disappointed in Axl Rose, since the band just recently released its 15 years in the making album, “Chinese Democracy,” and the Guns haven’t done anything to promote it. No…
Anybody else feels the Grammys have grown increasingly irrelevant? I for one have had it up to here with the Grammys, every year we’re fed with the same old, predictable crap. Aren’t the VMAs enough for one year? Anyway, this year the Grammys nominees are surprisingly decent, with a lot of new and low buzz artists. Musicians like M.I.A, Rufus Wainwright, Hot Chip, Adele, alongside the likes of Coldplay, Radiohead, Metallica, Madonna or Daft Punk…
I knew Axl and his lot were outrageous from the start, but this latest stunt is really weird, not to say stupid – the type of thing Prince would be proud of. Ok, remember the Dr. Pepper ad that stated if Chinese Democracy would finally get released in 2008, then the company would give out a can of Dr. Pepper to every American citizen (apart from Slash and Buckethead, of course)? Well, this week, on…
What’s maybe the most iconic and appreciated noise rock group ever, the Chicago underground super group The Jesus Lizard, is set to reform and tour next year just like in the old days. A lot of mayhem is predicted, thus! The last we’ve seen the band together was almost a decade ago, when Jesus Lizard decided to call it quits and let each member go on his own roads. Speaking of which, all four of…
The producer of this new album, Swizz Beatz, took some time to talk to MTV and he told them that the rapper’s latest work will be “classic”. He also added that it will feature a sequel to the 2000 legendary tune ‘Stan’, which speaks about a fan’s obsession over the singer. The album has been postponed for January because it’s still not finished, but as the word goes, it’s going to be major. Swiss Beatz…
