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…
Awesome news, everybody! No Doubt is finally re-grouping after a very long absence and is set to embark on a new tour, probably, right after their new album is out – as reported by nodoubt.com. Last year we reported that the band was working hard in the studio on a new album, but because Gwen was busy with her solo tour, progress has been slow. The band last played together in 2004 and since then…
Wow, boys and girls, what a week! We’ve just reached that time of the year when the final big releases come out, in anticipation for the jolly holidays and the frantic shopping season. Everything that comes out after this, until after the new year, is either anti-mainstream, has a bad marketing team or simply doesn’t care. I’ll start up with one of the most anticipated records in history, “Chinese Democracy” by Guns ‘n’ Roses. Was…
The year is 1992. Nirvana is in full swing by now, after releasing what would become one of the decade’s most influential record – “Nevermind.” Of course, back then the annual MTV Music Awars was something every artist and teen alike was looking forward to every year, but something really weird happen in ’92, which, to this day, after 16 years, still remains one of the most awkward moments in televised history. If you remeber…
Some news broke up earlier on NME, concerning a possible Coldplay disbanding, sometime next year. The whole thing was and is still considered only a rumor, but from then till now, it has been taken down by the NME officials, thus giving us reasons to believe there must be some spark of truth to the story after all. After a bit of diging around, we come across this quote. “I’m 31 now and I don’t…
Back when summer was in full swing, we posted Franz Ferdinand’s first single in a long time, the iTunes exclusive Lucid Dreams, a song set to appear on the band’s upcoming third full length studio album – “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.” Yesterday the Scotsmen premiered a new single, “Ulysses,” on BBC’s Radio 1, and now it’s available for streaming on their myspace page. The song is pretty Franz Ferdinandish, if I may. Sarcastic, fun and very…
