Rock Of Ages and No Skid Row
Did anyone really belive that the film Rock of Ages wouldnt bomb? It was a sure thing so much so that it could have been a well planned tax shelter inteneded to be a financial failure.

Ford, former member of The Runaways seems to be a bit melancholy and longing for the good old days now that she has split from her reportedly abusive husband David Gillette. For a bad ass rocker chick I find her describing her relationship as “Ike and Tina Turner” a bit over done.
I am thrilled that he is sweeping through my state as well as others and now is a great time to see this insanely talented humanitarian.
The newly released Live at Montreaux was part of the tour in support of the band’s second album, and it includes tracks from both records. Since I never had a chance to see them live I couldn’t tell ya how they were with the stage presence.
Who is to blame for this new phenomena? The roadies? The engineers? The promoters? Why are we unable to build sturdy stages anymore? Are shows far to elaborate to actually tour?
It sets me back on to that twin sized bed of long ago, muffled through the wall as I drew pictures and pondered what animals I could save if I went to journalism school to be an activist. i was 6 cut me some slack
The simplistic beat with the electronic backing seems oddly un-Deathcab. Gibbards vocal still is one of the best story telling tones of all time and this version takes the song to a place it never once was.
Praise the Lord and pass the soy spread my hero Morrissey is heading to the United States this fall and is actually coming to my state. This alone is cause for amazement. Who the hell comes here?
When speaking to most ‘hard’ rock bands they will offer up props to KISS in some way or another. A great example of KISS spawn is The Black Veil Brides- there is no doubt that KISS took music to new levels but really now, when can all this end?
I personally find her to be a walking nightmare and aside from a couple of good tunes- more flash than substance. Tony Bennett on the other hand and decades of croon behind him and pretty much owns his niche now that all the others have croaked
At first I wasn’t so sure that I could appreciate Johns new chill, but I do. At times he sounds a bit like John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson fell in to the Kitchen Aid and someone’s hit blend. Everything I’d hate right there in front of me.
Yeah bad pun perhaps but WHOA what the hell is Rotten doing?!
Apparently Paul gave um meat while fishing, with the revelation that a fish’s life is “as important to him as mine is to me.” Now, Sir Paul says, “I would never go back. I enjoy being vegetarian, It’s a thrill and I can walk past a field of animals with a clear conscience.”
am not a country girl- I freakin hate nature, but for some reason this same visual conjures up every late June. As a kid there were trips to the beach or the country but this image seems more like Kansas or something- no clue
The mental institution them with the hypnotic sound was just intensified by Colin Mouldings adorable mouth. Seriously get a load of it. I’m surprised he wasn’t a pin up and where the hell is he now anyway? He’s the British David Cassidy.
Well, I don’t think this is going Top 40 anytime soon. I don’t think one non vegan will drop the burger upon hearing it but it is a nice vegan club tune. Meaning its nice to have a ditty about your lifestyle,
Nothing so clean about suing Sony Pictures Entertainment for back royalties on merchandise- and can you imagine how much that would net? Cassidy is heading in for 10 million stating he was shorted decades ago
For a $10. ticket you buy a chance to sit in a recliner on the stage during a Pearl Jam concert as well as get to attend a pre-show meet & greet with Senator Tester and members of the band, as well as have dinner with the senator and Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament
Madonna travels with a 200 person entourage that includes a dry cleaner. A dry cleaner. Either she is a slob or she has a strange laundry fetish or most likely shes snorting the cleaning chemicals.
The message is … we pay for a Big Mac, maybe give me some good beef in there. It’s really a political statement we’re making.”
As long as she has the club kids and her ‘monster’ minions I suppose she has a career. She was wise to market herself to the esteem deprived misfits, once they find a hero they don’t let go-
This cover is so horrible that at first I thought it was a joke. When you do your own shoutbacks a song sounds cheap. “its a cruel (its a cruel!)”, for $5.00 you could get some dude off the street to do that for you instead
Yup, a professional demolition crew has painstakingly dismantled the loo and its filthy contents as well as former owner Hilly Krystals desk and the cash register…how fun! Now these artifacts will play center stage in this oh so pathetic film
Devo? Blondie? I mean seriously if you were a good length away and weren’t faced with the brutality of aging this could be the best 80s tour of all time.
From the retro bubblegum ska girl to the elegant woman (with abs of concrete) Stefani has become it is chronicled by the longevity of her band.
The Queers and Agent Orange aboard the cruise ship The Jewel for $25 bucks on August 18th. Neato huh? A punk rock show on a boat? That alone is news worthy.
This latest tune with vocal addition from K.T Tunstall, is a goose bump making masterpiece whose dark grey sound is intoxicating. The simplistic guitar accompaniment is ear perfection.
A huge Brooklyn music event can only mean one thing- massive insanity and fun times ahead. The lineup is impressive and I think there are rocknyc writers who should be there but will be too busy shoving themselves in to their new dorms.
The not so shabby band City and Color took on the classic “You Are Like a Hurricane” and took the nasal twangy 70s classic and made it…better.
When Usher dines out- he asks for a cup of boiling water…why? To drop in the cutlery! See he isn’t a germaphobe but cant stand the thought of dirty forks and will usually request new silverware.
How could he not partake? He is as British as Big Ben and well if I were running this show I would have the ‘legends’ open the ceremonies and the newer bands close it. Why? Cuz it shows hope for the future- Paul is the ghost of rock and roll past.
She has recently been interviewed by Oprah and seriously if she can survive that shes all set for life. Oprah is a false faced media hog who really makes me skin crawl with her ‘generosity’ and empathetic bull crap-
We need those security guards to push us of the ledges and throw the freaks out the side doors. WE NEED THE SITE LINE OF THE SOUND BOARD AREA!!
Ok, we survived the ‘album art’ announcement the ridiculous ‘track listing’ announcement the ‘studio video outtake’ announcement, and the fake ass ‘leak’…but no, no that wasn’t good enough
See, Bryces voice has little definition- he literally sounds like every other white male American. It is the facial expressions and movement that turn this song from talent show goo to an actually interesting song.
So now that all these 40+ year old metal guys have hit their midlife (cuz in their business 45 is middle age) they all think they have ‘it’. Here is a whining dream world video in which the heartfelt lyrics of idiocy are belted out in a tired pathetic manner.
The duck lips pursed (don’t ya just want to kiss him daddy) and enough fuzzy lighting to kill the pain of his aged self cannot masquerade the horrible tune he has decided to use for a come back. I have a theory that if you use the word “rock” in a song, you’re trying to hard
“Forever” was that idiotic viral video of the dancing down the aisle wedding crap that had all the world going ‘awwww’ and me gagging at the hokeyness of it. C’mon people…quit being trash.
After Tupac showed up as a “hologram’ every corpse with a corporation is getting propped up for one last hurrah. Can ya blame them? Its tough to come up with new ideas from an expired product. So lets make digi-king and send him on the road!
How long til this gets banned with that gun bong? This is basically a warped Napoleon Dynamite with foreign words- I love it. Its a mess and her voice is so annoying that I cant help but embrace it
Iggy is a genius, Ginger Baker is legend and together they take a kid tune and make it an oom pa pa slow decent into auditory hell. But why? This crap is coming off of a new album in as tribute to The Black Keys titled “Black on Blues”. Why the fuck do The Black Keys deserve a tribute album
Well then raise your hands if if you have even heard of the band Animals of Leaders- ok those five people can go sit down now. This band has yet to truly ‘make it’ but they are very good (not great) and what is better to do when you’re not so fabulous and you need some press? Get busted
If ‘Hey Jude” could take a sad song and make it better then there is proof that Alex DeLeon can take a bad song and make it worse. I blame the webcam. Everyone shoving their mugs up in the circle and hitting record pretending they sound good
There are a heap of Okies out there in ‘Merca so I say gas up the Ford, take the shotguns off the gun rack hire Aunt Weezie to watch the kids and take your old lady out for a good time of “Sugar Mountain”,
In 1982 he started up The Smiths, in 1988 he opted out for solo and it appears 2014 will be his retirement. He simply acknowledges he is too old for rock and roll. Why on Earth have others not accepted this fact?
Perhaps if he had not opted to hit the tons that pop balloons with their frequency we would be ok but the shrill “taaake mee hoo o ome yeaha yeaha’ made me want to not only kill myself but everything around me
The band performed “Our House” and “It Must Be Love” and were outstanding. The old man warble in the vocals was endearing- freakin love these guys and I demand that they tour right now.
Beginning in mid-September, Sheerhan will headlining VH1’s “You Oughta Know Tour’ that showcases new artists Pastparticipatns have been Adele, Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse and The freakin Fray. Why the hell would anyone want to know The Fray? They’re an abomination
ELO’s Greatest Hits 1986 was a guilty pleasure that I played when my cool friends were too fucked up to notice what was going on in their ears. Starting out with the strain of “You Made a Fool Of Me…” from ‘Evil Woman’ this ‘greatest hits album is nonstop guilty pleasure
For those of you who missed the 70’s there was a time when breakfast cereals contained a 45rpm record embedded in the box. You’d just cut it out at the perforation-and pop it on your close and play. This song would have been perfect on a box of Boo Berry.
