Taking place at the MGM Grand, not only do you get Def Leppard showing you how to play the band’s classic tracks like “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and “Rock Of Ages,” but you’ll be joined by Lita Ford of the Runaways plus many more has beens to fulfill your pathetic teenaged dream.
The point is always that celebrities want to use their fame to help others. Actually, their managers use their fame for positive public relations. Is there any money in this act?
What’s happened is music fans have grown up and had kids and their kids have had kids and now well the fervor is so intense that its dangerous. Led Zeppelin could never live up to its image now
Hey was it something I said? There are so few musical guests this week that Im honestly stunned. It is estrogen week though considereing Lisa Loeb, Kesha and Dido, hell, wheres the Indigo Girls? If ever there was a week to get some sleep or to maybe actually go out and see a live band this is it!
Perversely, it’s all in accordance with doctor’s orders: to have myself re-integrated with the call of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd; the flash of light and the full thrust of mosh-pit sound. Illness turns the body into a complete stranger, and I’ll be testing the capabilities of my strides at the most unlikely music shows this week. The will to get on with it runs strong
That was my last cell, on the top floor, where I could look out and see where I took this picture from. I used to stare at the apartment building i took this picture from and wonder what was happening in there. Most of the time I was in the basement though
Balance and Composure are a phenomenal band. I dont think I have ever used the word phenomenal in all my time writing here-but they are. They have a clean sound with unique peaks and valleys
I am a victim of this. I get caught up in some of the worse programs and they do keep getting worse. I can assure you I will at least catch a glimpse of the Travel Chanels new offering.
She needs a gimmick to get attention so here you go- chuggin pee. Her brother filmed it and it will be part of the MTV horror ‘Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life’. MtV the perfect vehicle for the monstrosity. Well done!
Let’s see my perfect wedding would involve Morrissey as the officiant, perhaps Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone as my ushers my maid of Honor would be Chrissie Hynde, of course
I’m not the only one who felt “Where Are We Now?”, was weak. Former wife Angie blasted the poor old guy. What exactly has she done for the world other than birth Duncan Jones…
Why would ANYONE auction the priceless tangibles of a punk rock icons life? Money. Its a great idea the guy will make a mint but the thought of Joey being a commodity really clocked me in the gut.
I am beyond proud of Mumford and Sons for winning Album of the Year for their release “Babel”. I already named it the Album of the Year in my “Best of 2012” post; I couldn’t have called it any better. I teared up when I saw the tweets and texts from my friends about it;
Its the week of love…unless you’re looking for music on television. My theory that Tuesday was the best night for bands on late night got shot out of this water this week
Back in full glory the bands tour sold out in seconds. Stub Hub became the saving grace for many but not all. There were ‘car crash hearts’ broken fans who sobbed openly knowing they wouldn’t be part of Mays shows.
Manslaughter cuz your fan fell off the stage smacked his head and died… years ago.
He gripes allot in his new book (from all accounts) and well decades and decades later does anyone really want to hear the sobbing of a former band great? Not really. Most people want to hear about the antics and mechanics of ‘classic’ bands
Marr has spent an awful lot of time being a bridesmaid. Shame on him. He should have fronted up a solo group long ago. But we’re going to let that slide now because he has finally gone and done it.
Gloria’s life includes a bus crash and infertility and a truck load of ‘oh I’m a Latin woman in ‘the biz’ type crap- oh and her husband is in on it too. There should be a Broadway board of directors who just rubber stamp “GTFO” on ideas like this.
The chances of you getting tickets by clicking on the Live Nation site on Friday at 10am are pretty slim- sorry kids it will sell out and it will happen fast and well aren’t you supposed to be in school?
Who? In this whip fast world we easily forget things that happen just months ago. Of course, you and all those t-shirt wearing celebs have forgotten about Lamb of God
tall lanky gent with movie star looks you would expect to be arrogant, his stage persona one of childlike playfulness and happy banter but face to face in a closed club he was more timid, more reserved more nervous in demeanor. It was this revelation that made Beckett a more interesting character.
Be real, what sort of elitist life was she leading before this? Pussy Riot staged its punk prayer protest at Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral on February 21, 2012, appealing to the Virgin Mary to ‘throw Putin out’..
I have seen this band live three times I believe and to see them actually return from hiatus is something I thought would never occur. The band seemed to go south the moment Pete Wentz married and became a dad.
I swore to Iman that rocknyc would never stoop so tabloid to discuss a legends urine. Never. We have class! But this is actually news worthy. Morrissey took to the keyboard to write to his fans in explanation of what exactly went down
Well then lets face it kids its the week of the BIEB! Justin Bieber will be hamming it up with Jimmy Fallon (who does an awesome impression!!) and then.. dun dun dun.. he will host and musical guest Saturday Night Live!!
There is much to be said about the 80’s and Geldof and his dililgence was something so admirable that no matter what his rockstar persona was- he is still quite simply an upright guy.
Here’s the plan. We open up with a screening of “Meat Is Murder” while 500 cows enter the stadium. Morrissey can sit down so his ulcer doesn’t flare up. Follow that up with Chrissie Hynde singing “Bad Boys Get Spanked” in honor of all the ass high fiving
The band will earmark proceeds from this show Teen Cancer America and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The band will put aside its current set list of the entire soundtrack of Quadrophenia and replace it with an array of Who tunes you wished you had heard
This bit of gossip comes from the ‘who the hell cares’ file but then again its Saturday so you should be doing something productive anyway. Seems Mr. Sheeran is hiding his tattoos because they are “Quite dramatic”…
The band is hot on the belief that everyone is ripping them off. Not unlike the school nerd who thinks everyone is copying his test paper. The problem is pretty soon this band is going to be more famous for its paranoid lawsuit than there music.
Well you didn’t do squat other than maybe buy some downloads or see their show. I have never eagerly awaited any award show. It just doesn’t matter to me on a personal level. I like Cat Stevens and The Clash and neither one are up for diddly this year- nor will they ever be.
The guy has a right to his opinion and a even call himself a name that is a picture- this is America, let the man be. So with Maroon 5 I found it surprising that Prince would actually bother to comment
I gotta warn you- Graham is looking sort of gnome but the good news is he sounds fantastic. The band, same thing worn trousers but still a great sound that makes me really want to cheer them on.
Does anyone remember Joyce suing the band in the 90’s for more share of profit after break up? I have a funny feeling he may be one of the reasons a reunion would never happen. Ya sue someone and ask for a reunion- dude be real.
Black Flag are cited as heroes for countless acts these days and I have the distinct pleasure of having seen them numerous times in the 80s.But I’m not so sure that bad boy persona can carry at their age. Henry Rollins got it right. Stayed in the biz, kept his attitude and is actually putting it to some good.
Snatching their name from Wendy O’ Williams and the Plasmatics famous tune, these two girls have been opening up for Marilyn Manson on his latest tour. A soft gig for these LA strip girls
Hello new week and as the Northeast attempts to pull itself out of this massive freeze we still are wise enough to sack out in front of the TV. There is a whole lot of Train which bores me to tears. Train isn’t music- its like white noise with vocals. Its so bland that its hardly noticeable.
The problem with this is I ended up with an ass kicking case of the flu, but there was no way I would let the opportunity to review a Manson show pass so I rallied up my crew and sent them out to cover it for me. I can tell by this excellent video that I didn’t miss much.
The “Approaching Normal” tour had a fit and energized Justin hip thrusting in his live show while the girls swooned. His “Every Man In America” Tour had a bloated scuffing scruffy Justin that had the women screaming I love you”. Crazy huh? You either want to save the guy or fuck him
This isn’t the first (nor will it be the last) time John Varvatos dips in to the jukebox for models his past posers include Paul Weller and Miles Kane, Green Day, Franz Ferdinand, Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Chris Cornell, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Ryan Adams, and Slash
Now, I’m never ever going to say anything bad about Bowie- ever. So despite not digging the single I am damn glad it’s out and I am pumped for more Bowie music. But here is the kicker with this legend stuff, everyone’s hanging on the guys coat like a lint ball.
He comes down and goes, ‘Oh, the fire, the fire!’ (and tries to put it out) with his hand in the cast. Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted…”Ozzy’s front of his hair from (his ear down is), gone! His eyebrows (are gone)…
From the clips I have seen they are your basic live show slather with a Elvis like Axl Rose attempting to hoist himself and serpentine as he did 30 years ago and the moves aint working.
This thumping good time will be traveling through Madrid, India and The Netherlands but also swoops in to Madison Square Garden for one night of thrusty fun. The show is March 30th and will be broadcast live via Astateoftrance.com. THAT is worth hanging out for and watching.
Working alongside the Linda McCartney Foods brand. This is the first time in 15 years that the brand has done TV advertising. The TV commercial shows the McCartney family in full cartoon glory- and some cute animals too.
The man who retreats to his car stereo and is transcended to a world of head butting Henry Rollins and the worried wife is so cliche’ so utterly ridiculous that in just a video fragment I am proud not to be a fan.
Killers in cold blood will pop you and take your ass out no questions asked, no rational explanation. We kill because we can and when you think you’re safe you’re wrong Theres my speech. Mankind is not kind
These wonderful guys used their ‘big budget’ opportunity not to strut and dick wag but to bring attention to the cause of homelessness. Using Boston as a backdrop to the injustice of our fellow man without a roof.
At age 53 Morrissey is the picture of aging with sex appeal Taught, tanned and without the previously noted “old man pants’ he owned the stage at Port Chester New York’s, Capitol Theater and he owned every person in that room
