Possibly the most charismatic guitar player of all time, maybe except Jimmy Page, Slash from [tag]Velvet Revolver[/tag] and former [tag]Guns N’ Roses[/tag] is set to make an appearance in the best guitar simulator video game: Guitar Hero III. Guitar Hero III will be the third official installment in the Guitar Hero video game series, series notable for its use of a guitar-shaped peripheral to simulate the playing of rock music. The rock icon will be…
It’s the start of a new week, and with it a swarm of new records have been released. Highlights include the new records from Interpol, Spoon, The Enemy and The Smashing Pumpkins. The most publicized and awaited release of this week has to be “Zeitgeist” from [tag]The Smashing Pumpkins[/tag], but from what i’ve read so far it’s been a critical fiasco. An interesting band that caught my eye some time ago is the English band…
[tag]Live Earth[/tag] officials have added, on the last stretch, the ninth and last concert in the series of events set to promote the global awareness to global warming. This last gig will take place in the US capital Washington DC in the National Mall, positioned in very close proximity to the US Capitol. The headliners for this Live Earth leg are country stars Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood. DC will join London, Sydney, Rio de…
[tag]The Cribs[/tag] are back with a less controversial video named “Moving Pictures”, from the bands third LP “Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever”. The boys have traded their somewhat misogynistic video from “Mens Needs” to a more nostalgic black and white, with the skinny naked girl being replaced by a clothed laddie.
It seems that the Rio de Janeiro concert, part of the ample [tag]Live Earth[/tag] Festival set rock the world at 07.07.2007, is in serious jeopardy of not taking place, for security reasons. Brazilian officials claim they do not have enough police staff to ensure safety for the swarms of people expected to take part at the hugh concert at the Copacabana Beach and that they have to cancel the event. Live Earth officials, however, are…
NY favorite rockers [tag]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/tag] will embark on a late summer tour in the US, to promote their soon to be released EP “Is Is”, due to be released on July 23 in the UK, and a day later in US.

The top British rock band [tag]Editors[/tag] have mapped the dates for what seems to be a massive October tour all around the UK. During the tour Editors will play a 2 nights in a row show at London’s Brixton Academy, featuring tracks from their UK number 1 LP “An End Has A Start”.
OK … here’s an “interesting” video for you guys from Rilo Kiley called “The Moneymaker”, from their upcoming forth album “Under the Blacklight” (due Auguts 21). The video is centered around a porn shop, with Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis singing a blues style melody, with a squitchy guitar on the background, while explicit erotic scenes unfold. 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…
