Yesterday was a sad, sad day for music. Electric guitar virtuoso and inventor Les Paul died, at the epic age of 94. It was him who you can call the father of the solid body electric guitar, as well as multitrack recording.
His blazing riffs were absolutely the bomb and he performed with some of the [...]
We were a bit worried where Axl Rose had disappeared for the last few months, since the release of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ highly-anticipated and equally disappointing Chinese Democracy, but it’s nice to hear the big man is safe and sound. Not that most of us care where his overly sarcastic ass might be, just that, [...]
So here we are boys and girls, and once again it’s WTF Time. This weekend, while Fergie was singing in Coast Mesa, California, Slash joined her on the stage to sing some tunes, including Sweet Child O’ mine and Heart’s “Barracuda.”. As you can probably guess from that moment Slash totally had the fans, leaving [...]
In case you haven’t already found out about how Slash got snubbed by Dr. Pepper as part of the drink manufacturer’s recent “Chinese Democracy” promotion, I’m gonna give you a little heads up just so you know what I’m talking about.
Dr. Pepper has vowed to give everyone in the U.S. a free can of the [...]
Oh boy, here we go again. I must have heard this 10 times at least, every time from a reliable source or something… This album is getting more and more like UFOs and the moon landing in 1969 - every time you hear about it it sounds less and less true.
Especially since their guitarist left [...]
Just yesterday I was saddened but not surprised to see Velvet Revolver kicking Scott Weiland out of the band. They claim that his lifestyle was almost unbearable, complaining about trips to rehab and that kind of stuff; but it’s only fair that the man speaks up for himself. dished
Billboard reports that Weiland was very [...]
Well, we’ve written a lot about Velvet Revolver, because one thing’s for sure: keeping a supergroup together is hard. Scott Weiland has always been a nut job really agitated guy, getting involved into all sort of problems. But the man’s a great frontman, you have to give him credit for that.
So, ever since he drove [...]
Well holding a super rock group together can definetly be a challenge, especially when you’ve got Scott Weiland there. To be quite frank, it’s a surprise for me that they lasted so long together.
But now, pressure’s starting: The Stone Temple Pilots are planning a reunion tour, Slash is preparing a new solo release, and many [...]
Velvet Revolver are definetly a mean green music machine. Their previous release, Libertad was acclaimed and was one of the best rock releases of the year. Blazing guitar parts, hard vocals and agressive lyrics made it an album which you have to listen to; and you can either love it or hate it, there’s no [...]
They have a way of staying in the center of attention even without releasing music or without singing at gigs or in fact without doing anything. What happened is that some teenagers were performing an impromptu after-hours karaoke that resulted in a police response.
That was because she believed she was being threatened over the loudspeaker. [...]
