Andrei MihaiDocumentary maker Dave Markey has uploaded the footage he shot in December 1993 at Los Angeles’ Great Western Forum – one of the last concerts Nirvana performed. Four months later, Cobain would take his own life. The footage, which you can watch above, includes performances of ‘All Apologies’ and a cover of David Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold The World’. Writing about the footage, Markey says: “20 years ago tonight (December 30, 1993) I stood…
Dave Grohl: ‘New Nirvana Will F–king Happen’
Now now, don’t get your hopes up – this isn’t about Nirvana reuniting or something like this – it’s about another band with a Nirvana-like impact. “We meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people,” he told the Guardian. “That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.” Dave Grohl went further, explaining that the…

Source Flyleaf with new singer Kristen May The band is going to release their newest EP, Who We Are on 9th July. This features some live songs from the band’s recent tour with the new vocalist, Kristen May (I like Lacey though).

Pearl Jam to release new single in July
In the words of guitarist Stone Gossard, the new album is “almost done” – so we really should be expecting something from them. However, things are a little shady, because the release was announced on All Access, but then was deleted, but one thing’s for sure: Pearl Jam’s definitely cooking something. If it does show up in July, then it will be the band’s first release since the 2011 “Ole”. According to recent statements from…
Incubus Guitarist Working on Pearl Jam Album
Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger has revealed that he is working on the new Pearl Jam album. We found this out (how else ?) from his twitter, where he posted: “In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam’s new album.” I’m really curious about this Pearl Jam album, apparently it will be a little different than what they’ve done. Guitarist Mike McCready has described it as a cross between punk…
Nirvana to actually tour with Paul McCartney?
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the members of Nirvana reuniting with Paul McCartney for a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert last week. They actually performed a brand new song, “Cut Me Some Slack”, rather than go for any Nirvana or Beatles tracks. They went on to perform Saturday Night Live, which left fans asking a logical question: will they do some more stuff together? According to bass player Krist Novoselic, the answer…
Paul McCartney actually sings with Nirvana
As I was telling you in a previous post, for the Sandy relief concert which took place last night, Nirvana’s Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic teamed up with Beatles legend Paul McCartney in what has to be the most unlikely reunion in years. Kurt and the guys stated on more than one occasion that they are big fans of the Beatles, but who could have guessed something like this would happen? Is it just a…
Mudhoney return with ‘Vanishing point’
Grunge pioneers Mudhoney are already working hard on their new album, and although a tracklist is yet to be released, but we have been given an LP. The group’s ninth studio LP was recorded at Seattle’s Avast! Recording Co. between April and September, and follows 2008’s The Lucky Ones. Singer-guitarist Mark Arm explained he suffered a bit of writers block, and it is really hard to settle for a final cut, but the results will…
Nirvana reunite with Paul McCartney – for one concert
It’s a last minute bid for “What the hell?!” of the year: Paul McCartney will front a reformed Nirvana at a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert tonight. Both Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic are joining in, as will Pat Smear who once toured as an additional Nirvana guitarist and now plays the Foo Fighters. With Kurt Cobain openly expressing his admiration for McCartney, this will be as close to a Nirvana reunion as we’ll ever get…
Alice in Chains finish recording new album
Three years after the shockingly good return – “Black Gives Way To Blue” – it’s only about time we got some new work about new Alice in Chains material. Reports have been scarce throughout the entire year. Jerry Cantrell shared a few words regarding the band’s new LP. Apparently, making the follow-up to their first record with singer William Duvall was “like having to deal with the sophomore jinx for the second time in our…
