This people, is everything that’s wrong with the music industry! Well, it’s not really everything, but it’s really wrong! UK music retailer HMV banned employees from having long hair and tattoos, claiming they want to attract a broader audience, one that might be offended by such traits. “We’ve got new management. It’s ridiculous and discrimination”, said one member of staff. This does seem discriminatory, doesn’t it? Plus, it just sounds like bad marketing. A big…
Max Cavalera, who also played in Sepultura, Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy is now forming yet another group which promises to bring something big to the table. So far, they don’t have a name, but the metal god will join Greg Puciato of the Dillinger Escape Plan, Troy Sanders of Mastodon and former Mars Volta member Dave Elitch. This however shouldn’t be confused Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, another supergroup in-the-making that features a rather suspiciously similar…
Source Daniel Bedingfield relapses again by deciding to get naked for his new video, where he appears with a sexy, beautiful naked girl, playing the game of love, passion and fury. Looks like he has a thing for appearing naked – he did it the first time in his other video, Rocks Off, where a bunch of horny girls actually rip off all of his clothes. I really like the video’s…
Source Green Day released a new video for the song “The Forgotten” – a video with scenes from Twilight: Breaking Dawn-Part 2. Somehow, I think that this event covers the fact they canceled all their scheduled live concerts for the following months, although the second part of their album trilogy: ‘¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!, is due to come out on November 12th. Mike Dirnt, the bands bassist, talks about taking part of…
Source. Crystal Castles The song “Affection” is the latest Crystal Castles’ third album, ‘III’ , which will be out on November 12th (see Crystal Castles reveal new album) – they postponed the release date actually with a few more days than they originally announced. In my opinion, this song is different from Plague (from the same album), which only makes me more curious about the other songs from this new album….
Source. The wedding dress Poor Amy Winehouse (I just can’t believe how many things happen in Amy’s “absence”), some burglars have broken into her former home, in Camden-North London, and stolen two dresses worth £130,000: one of them is her wedding dress, worn by her at her Miami marriage in 2006, and the other one she wore during a performance on Later… with Jools Holland later, same year. Since Amy is…
In case you’ve never heard of Atoms for Peace well then, it’s your loss! The supergroup consists of Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar and piano), Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (bass), longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich (guitar, keyboards, synths), Joey Waronker (drums) and Mauro Refosco (percussion) – needless to say, the really rock. Now, they’ve released a new song, What the eyeballs did, one that doesn’t really stand out, but it does…
Oh boy, the Axl soap opera just won’t end! But, this time there’s something good to it: Axl admitted his recent writing is really bad not that good, but points the finger at former band mates (guitarist Slash and bassist Duff) and his supermodel girlfriend Stephanie Seymour. “To those three, it was all crap. It beat me down so much. At the time of the (‘Use Your Illusion’) tours, Slash and Duff said, ‘You’re an…
The country winners of the years were announced, and here’s something new – this year there are actually awards not won by Tailor Swift! Kenny Chesney’s duet with Tim McGraw – “Feel Like a Rock Star” got the big prize, being crowned the CMA Musical Event of the Year, while Toby Keith’s “Red Solo Cup” won CMA Music Video of the Year. Chesney — who has the potential tonight to set a record for the…
As Sandy continues to wreck havoc throughout central and North America, Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi set out to perform a benefit concert for the victimes of the hurricane. The rock stars are both native to New Jersey, one of the areas which were hit the hardest. The money raised from the concert will go entirely to the American Red Cross relief efforts. Joining them will be Billy Joel, Sting and Christina Aguilera, and…
