Earlier today master guitarist Jimmy Page stated for journalists in Tokyo that, after performing a show to remember at last month’s O2 benefit concert, he’s ready to take [tag]Led Zeppelin[/tag] on tour, but no sooner then September. “The amount of work we put into O2 was what you would normally put into a world tour anyway,” Page, 64, said of the intense rehearsing the band did for the Dec. 10 concert at London’s O2 Arena.
Country rock legend [tag]Willie Nelson[/tag] is set to celebrate his 75th birthday, on April 30, by releasing a whooping 100 track long, four CD, box set, called “One Hell Of A Ride.” The box set will be released on April, on Legacy, 1 and will feature songs from across Willie’s five decade long discography; what a epic best of. And if that’s not enough, a day before Willie birthday, on April 29, Legacy will release…
The punk quartet of [tag]Against Me![/tag] just released the video, for their latest single “Stop,” just in time for the US elections, as they remind us to “stop, take some time to think, figure out what’s important.” Solid advice guys, that’s something we should all do more often. As for the video, it features the Florida new wavers chilling on the couch, as their alter egos play on TV; the black and white effects do…

A few days ago we announced in an article that everything seems to announce the new Metallica album for February. Now sources from within the band’s record label announced that album is now expected to hit the stores in September. Even more than that, the band is still in the studio! Fans can at least think about the fact that the last time Metallica spent so much time on an album was in 1991 and…
One of the former fab four, the glamorous [tag]Ringo Starr[/tag], just recently released his 14th solo album, Liverpool 8. The video for the title track couldn’t be more plain, much like the rest of song, fact that disappointed me a bit, as I had higher expectations then kinder garden level rhymes. Watch out for the Dave Stewart cameo too.
This strike has been going on for some time and I’m beggining to wonder how things are going to turn out. I think they have a very good point and every right to keep staying on strike, but at the same time I’m curios about how much longer this is going to last. Well Hollywood writers have decided against picketing the upcoming Grammy Awards but the Writers Guild of America’s board of directors has yet…
This year’s 80th Oscar nominees are in, with it’s fare share of pleasant and well, not so pleasant surprises. As not so pleasant goes, we were a bit dishearten when the nominees list was posted, earlier this morning, and we couldn’t score Johnny Greenwood or Eddie Vedder on the list, despite countless critical appraisal. We remind that Johnny scored the soundtrack for one of this years, best picture nominee There Will Be Blood, while Eddie…
That’s it guys, after months and months of lineup speculations, the news are in, for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, that takes place between April 25-27, in the hot, but always cool Indio, California. No big surprises here, with no spectacular bands announcing a comeback or something (we’re obviously thinking about My Bloody Valentine), but there’s still time for that. The lineup is still very solid with such headliners like Roger Waters…
