The question that was on the lips of millions of people has now been answered; Shirley Halperin of Entertainment Weekly made public the announcement that band fans were waiting for more than a couple of months already. Royston Langdon, frontman for Spacehog and also the estrange husband of Liv Tyler will be the new singer of Velvet Revolver. He performed some jam sessions with them, and everybody got along just great. In a recent interview,…
It’s official now, metal masters Megadeth are going to start work on another studio effort, which will definitely please all of us. This comes after the dvd set, called Warchest and their previous album, United Abominations. Here’s what Dave McRobb, Megadeth’s official webmaster had to say, via the website: “So…. I was talking to my beloved master [Dave Mustaine] tonight on the phone and he wanted me to let you all know that things are…
Wednesday, 23 July, I had the luck of being at a Metallica concert, in Bucharest, at Cotroceni stadium. Living not that far from it and knowing the city pretty much, I arrived early in the morning to check some parts of the city. Some good and bad news came up from then: some parts of the city looked great, with amazing architecture, while some were in very bad shape. The traffic was almost really stuck…
So here we are boys and girls, and once again it’s WTF Time. This weekend, while Fergie was singing in Coast Mesa, California, Slash joined her on the stage to sing some tunes, including Sweet Child O’ mine and Heart’s “Barracuda.”. As you can probably guess from that moment Slash totally had the fans, leaving a Fergie that performed pretty well in second place. But despite her good performance, she was absolutely nowhere near Axl…
I was really impressed and ecstatic about the new Radiohead video, for In Rainbows slow jam “House Of Cards,” when I first talk about it last week. Now, finally, the video has surfaced on the web (well actually it’s been on for a few good days now, but I’ve been away and stuff like that) and let me tell you it doesn’t fail any of my grandeous expectations I had for it. It’s simply stunning….
I wasn’t quite fond of [tag]Bloc Party[/tag]’s recent, sophomore release A Weekend In The City, not to say it was bad or anything, but I just believe the more experimental direction the band is heading to, isn’t to my liking. It seems like the third album, scheduled sometime at the end of this year (nothing has been announced, but you can expect it to be sometime later this year), will follow in its footsteps in…
What does [tag]Rage Against The Machine[/tag] guitarist Tommy Morello and Presidential candidate Barrack Obama have in common? Well according to Tommy the similarities between them are quite striking… “Well, you know, being the half-Kenyan Harvard graduate from Illinois in his early forties, not running for president this year’s election gives me a unique perspective,” Morello tells Rolling Stone’s Austin Scaggs. “I’ve always felt more comfortable on the other side of the barbed wire fence, you…
Who here doesn’t love sample mashups? I know I find them yummy and Girl Talk is one of the people who’s brought it to a state of art. Feed the Animals, his latest and fourth album is another record comprised exclusively out of samples from other people’s music, with a few dashes of original GT instrumentation here and there. “Still Here” may just be my favorite song, off the June 19th released album, but what…
At last month’s Bonnaroo fest, the hip-hop/indie sensation [tag]M.I.A.[/tag] stormed the stage and delivered a dazzling performance to all the fans and occasional blokes in the audience alike. However, after such an awesome spectacle (and during it a few time, if you think about it) she said this was her last show and she’d quit music. I thought this was rubbish at first, seeing how she’s such a promising artist, however rumors that she’d quit…
The Brooklyn dwellers of [tag]The Hold Steady[/tag] have always appealed me through their classic/hard rock eclictic music, coupled with meaningful and dense lyrics. I’m not what you’d call a fan, but their latest album, “Stay Positive”, is brilliant and, so far, represents the pinnacle of their entire work; quite consistent work if I may add, with a new album every year. Few bands can really pride themselves with the achievement. For rootsie, old school American…
