In the US they were a one hit wonder in overalls and fiddle. In Europe they had marginal success but the band fractured leaving only Rowland and his followers- the talent of the band took off for other ventures, and it showed.
Resolution J4637 is a great name for a tune but an even better tribute to a man who’s dynamic presence changed the climate of music in his time. Yauch was paid fitting tribute by the Senate of New York
Now I already knew Sins to be a wonderful intelligent guy with a hipster flair and a way with words but what I found most startling tonight was the watching what a brilliant actor he is. In his first production he not only stole the show he stole the hearts and minds of every audience member.
Joey Ramone was many things to many people and most I have encountered found him not to be the most friendly guy, thus adding to his rock and roll swagger. I thought he was a great guy but my eyes were clouded with idol worship.
The songs on this LP were recorded from 1966 to 1969, so basically during my life span of birth to three. Yet as a young Hel I can vividly remember hearing ‘Cheer Up Sleepy Jean” through the wall as my sister and her friends squealed.
What crap. Slash is silly. Thank God for the hat or we would think he was Howard Stern but at least Stern embraces his age, Slash thinks hes 20. What he has done here is assembled a band with an Axl impersonator and made a song that will impress about 20 people and horrify their kids
‘To everyone who”s given me the opportunity to work with them, from Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Usher and Chris Brown. I look at it as a platform to get to each other’s fans and give them different worlds,’ he told Extra.
Their website www.sigur-ros.co.uk will have a special platform that will broadcast the album at 7pm in your timezone, as well as the album airing on certain radio stations and in record stores, making for 24 hours of Valtari. Ohh hurray for Australia you’re first.
I’m not quite sure why I am even giving this the time of day, its really just a pathetic attempt at shock cuz it isn’t shocking me. Wear an outfit of human skin then maybe I’ll turn my head- this is just sad and desperate.
Should there not be some sense of musical education? Should there not be more than just a boat load of standards? Apparently not. Maybe they were available for graduation weekend so they booked them since there were slim pickin’s?
Mick Jaggersits on a tiny stage with the Ghost of Rock and Roll Future, upstart hipster frauds Arcade Fire, the pathetic excuse for current Ghost of Rock and Roll Present Foo Fighters, and The Ghost of Rock and Roll Past Jeff Beck.
There were warning strokes and a mish mosh of other maladies all screaming headlines of the rockers imminent death. The dude was being circled by vultures for months
She doesnt derserve ovaries. Perhaps the woman should put her tits back in her shirt get a lawyer and reclaim her spawn. Actually, she shouldnt. It’s actions like no action that indicate her former husband is correct.
Dee Snider is a bit of a tool He looks more disturbing now than in full makeup. He is embracing his eccentricities though. First that bit on Celebrity Apprentice and
Joey Ramones birthday is a huge event and tribute time and brother Mickey Leigh always serves up a good time. Say what you will about Mickey I don’t really think its exploitation its a living, yeah but I also think there is tremendous respect there. At least I would like to think so
What I find almost as annoying is the ego required to release a self documentary when you as a band have been around for a shorter span of time than my Doc Martins. Lets face it this is a brilliant way of cashing in on a career that has the shelf life of Wonder Bread.
This sister venue to the infamous Greek Theater was none to please with the less fortunates drooling on their concrete. They run a respectable establishment, why Pitbull is playing there in August. How awful to have these louse filthing up the facade each evening
What could possibly be the reason for all the rehearsing? One thought is that since singer Mick Jagger is scheduled to appear as both host and musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 19, the Stones might join him on stage for the performance
Alpha Walker and Tamera Diaz did. What idiots, the pair demanded $5 million from Wonder and threatened to go to the media with a tale of incest. They later lowered the sum to $10,000 and were arrested by undercover police posing as representatives of the musician
The tune is being used in the new film Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp. So basically this is a film taken from a fabulous original with a soundtrack of copies of fabulous originals which means, ain’t nothin new here.
To be honest there is nothing new about it. It is as if there were lost demo’s or something, it is that true to early Everclear. I suppose the die hard fans (are there any?) will love this. If you are stuck in the last decade, well hot diggity for you, you’ve got a new tune to love
I am always amazed at how the organizers of this event make it look so easy. Face it you’re dealing with young bands with no cash, big ego and massive confusion and you do it for a day pack it all up and hit another city in the morning, Its insanity and it is fantastic.
Last night our writers boarded a cruise ship for the Senior Prom. Well, Layna and Henrys Senior Prom, Mary just happens to be dating a senior so what a wonderful opportunity to get all three together in their finest threads.
Let’s face it Conan has become second fiddle cool to Fallon. Jimmy has the comedic edge and now most definitely has the musical edge with his Late Night program. The compilation will offer up songs featuring Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Eddie Vedder and Dave Matthews
There is nothing worse than Gaga’s speaking voice. That old sleepy stoner drawl that literally makes me want to smack her off a chair. Speaking from the back of the throat slowly isn’t sexy or hip its fake and stupid
“Speed of Life”, is the first book ever to show a visual account of David Bowie’s ongoing relationship with Japan and it’s influence on his work. Both authors’ words are written in English and Japanese, again adding to the arrogance level.
Leaks are planned by the way, there isn’t some covert operation of guys in ski caps stealing mp3 files and putting them on Youtube. Nope, they’re calculated publicity stunts that you fall for every time. It makes you feel as if you’re one step ahead of ‘the man’, but you aren’t.
No clue what went down to require Travis to have the ’emergency’ version. Perhaps it was caused by the idiotic neck tattoos, who knows. C’mon already this guy is the king of death cheating and now I’m getting mad,
Its times like this when you cant help but wonder why stadiums aren’t filled at the mention of his tour. Ok, he hits some tanked notes but over all- its sung so passionately that it really doesn’t matter. The details of William Becketts break from the band for solo adventures is irrelevant at this poin
Lets see Barbara is 70, looks fabulous, and has had a rather cushy life considering the majority of her fame came young. So why bother? Well a home town show is always good for a pocket full of millions but its also a great way to get your name back up the buzz list
Chris Isaak is a perfect person to celebrate the Sun Studios experience. That rockabilly look and twang is actually accurate to what made the Memphis Recording Service the landmark it is.
100%, yes 100 percent of the take goes directly to Strummerville charity. Strummerville is a registered charity that gives support to aspiring musicians and help to projects that help change the world through music.
For the first couple minutes I thought I was going to love this song. The music really is vintage Elton John and the verse voice is fabulous its the chorus that made me cringe. Its the “yeah” that sounds far too rehearsed.
When did the world 'biopic' come in to fashion? I swear its a new one they used to be called biographys or documentary. Biopic sounds like a lab experiment involving
All well and good but still Twitter annoying. Until I saw the video. Let me tell you that getting video at the Webster is tougher than sneaking booze in to prom, so I am not sure how this can be ‘fan video’..but its outstanding.
rocknyc has interviewed Bryce twice and have found him to be an intelligent and deeply spiritual man. A refreshing sense in an ego stormed rock world. First up is a free dowload from the acoustic tour that took place last summer.
But wait, bookies are indicating that May 19th is the day to hit the DVR. Saturday Night Live guest host and musical guest is Mick Jagger. The question becomes who is going to back him? That God awful side project with the bad name or Charlie, Keith and Ron?
‘This isn’t tolerated whatsoever,’ an executive said. ‘We need to show more respect to the people at home. It’s like he can’t be bothered. This isn’t a mickey-mouse satellite channel, this is the BBC where high-production values are key. He’s making a mockery of the show.’
Its the arrogance that makes me want to kick him in the cup. As if he is doing us a favor by being so cool. The interview shows the more idiotic side of Manson as he whines about how the record company interfered with his art
“Censorship mattered more than the content of the Pistols. If you’re going to be celebrating what is great about Britain, the honesty of the Sex Pistols is one of those things. If you censor the words of any one song, you’re killing the honesty and I couldn’t tolerate that.”
I mean back in the day he was swoony as hell and women whipped their underwear at him. At the time having a pair of pink fruit of the looms whipped at the stage was the ultimate in sex symbol swag. I, for one, at age 4 found him to be the most delightfull of gents and was darn sure that dude would make me his wife.
As Alyson wrote of yesterrday, Coldplay tributed MCA. The difference here is our opinions of the action. I didn't know if i should laugh or cry when I saw this.
Take a look at this official announcement video. Things are looking pretty good! But why are they using an old tune in the back ground? C’mon they could have snuck in a bit of new, instead just plain studio silliness.
So for the finale we get Mick Jagger. Jagger has been the musical guest twice and if you ever saw the mirror bit with him and Jimmy Fallon then you know he has a wonderful sense of humor. He really doesn’t need it considering half of the writers are missing that laugh gene.
New week means new shows, or reruns served up on paper plates. Usher on Saturday Night Live, and that isnt paniful at all. I have to say this is the best week for music on television in a very long time!
But wait.. what do I notice about the dates? No headlining New York City, and No headline date for Boston? Minaj will only touch the Northeast with these radio deals. Again, I must stress that if you don’t play these citys you are not on tour.
I’m not sure why he would do this- unless of course he was sitting around in his garage and someone recorded it and smuggled it out and put it on the internet as a cruel joke.
Well then lets not have ABC left out of the mix. John Legend is set to partake in a new series called “Duets”. The show will have celeb singers criss crossing the country looking for that perfect singing partner.
The film adaptation of Rock of Ages is in the can and about to assault your eyes and ears. That’s not the worse of it. The soundtrack will also include, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta Jones, and poor little Mary J Blige,
It’s always fun to hear a tough ass band do a pop tune. This may be the reason Fearless Records “Punk Goes…” series is so wonderful. This contradiction of style works amazingly well. Even musically, Coheed and Cambria make it their own
