The famous [tag]Metallica[/tag] drummer Lars Ulrich has stated, in a interview done after attending Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, that the band has finished recording the backing tracks for its, not yet titled, ninth studio release. The band last album “St. Anger”, was launched in 2003 and was dubbed by hardcore fans as a disaster naming it unpolished and under-produced. Ulrich said that they will return to the recording studios in August, estimating that it…

If you have the patience to listen to the 10 minute intro, featuring some porn stars interviews then…

Reports say the largest record label, Universal Music, won’t renew its contract with the highly popular download store iTunes. I see this as a strange move by Universal. Universal Music has contracts with the majority of big names out there in the music business, from [tag]U2[/tag] to [tag]Eminem[/tag]. This recent action comes some what as a shock to me. This is a no win situation for either sides; iTunes loses money because people won’t find…

I gotta say when i first saw this video I was almost on the floor laughing, but i managed to remain sited and giggled through out the whole video. It appears the video’s action takes place in ancient Rome were it seems there’s a party, a toga party but giving the circumstances I guess this is a…
These few weeks were packed with [tag]Spice Girls[/tag] reunion speculations. Some of the group’s members confirmed the rumors, other denied them. It was damn right confusing!
