When we unveiled Metallica’s first single off the new album, “The Day That Never Comes,” a few days ago the song was met with mixt feelings both by me and you, the readers of ZME. A part of me feels the song is quite good with some awesome pre-black album metal hooks, but the other part feels like this is just another black album re-hash with the same old riffs over and over again. Alas,…
I’ve always been somewhat of a fan of Mike Skinner aka The Streets, especially after his gorgeous sophomore album, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free,” got out a few years ago. His distinctive, sincere lyrics and well put samples (btw, Mike said on his Myspace blog a while back that he’ll soon abandon sampling on stage and will use only live musicians. Props for that, mate!), propelled him to instant success on the British hip-hop…
I’m really late with this, but I’ve been away in the Carpathian mountains this weekend for some serious hiking and had no chance to see it, let alone post it. Anyway, last Thursday Radiohead played its last gig off their ginormous In Rainbows tour in Santa Barbara, CA. The band ended the tour with an epic finale, after subsequently Liars gave me an awesome performance, as well. Thom Yorke and co. played an astonishing 25…
While on tour, playing in Auburn, WA, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood moved close to each other and started playing a “Faust Arp” duet, like they always do shows, however… this time Thom forget the lyrics. Anyway, after a series of jokes and ramblings around the matter, to escape this somewhat embarrassing moment, the band went on and played a beautiful cover of Neil Young’s “Tell Me Why.” Check out the video bellow as…

In what seems to be a great step forward for the Canadians, Nickelback reported they shook hands with legendary producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange on their 6th album, which they will start working on. Mutt Lange is best known for working with metal gods AC/DC on their Highway to Hell and Back in Black. He has also worked with Def Leppard’s landmark efforts Pyromania and Hysteria and Shania Twain, as well as Bryan adams and…
The Philly hip-hop group, Jedi Mind Tricks, are prepping their sixth full length studio effort “A History of Violence” for the October 14th release date. To support it, the highly controversial rap quartet are set to head over on a cross-country promotional tour. Check out the full schedule bellow.
Photo by LtRandazzo A flickr user posted this yesterday, after attending a Nine Inch Nails show, most probably in Saint Louis’ Scottrade Center, on August 20th. The pic perfectly surprises the much feared blue screen of death, that’s been haunting computer geeks around the world! CTR+ALT+DEL :( Anyway, the Windows 98 error screen was obviously faked by NIN, as fun thing. After all, Trent is notoriously known as a huge “Apple fan,” and righteously so…

I wouldn’t go as far as saying the new Oasis album will be of biblical proportions, but I definitely believe it’s gonna rock and prove to be a hell of comeback, after two, let’s say, disappointing albums. After the strikingly good Falling Down (sorry, crew, but you’ve put out some crap lately), the band’s now released “The Shock of the Lightning,” a song even better then the previous, reminiscing the golden age of “Definitely Maybe,”…
