As we begin a new year, it’s always good to read a really nice “feel good” story about friends. Today, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted helps to provide the storyline for that story. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting him or interviewing him, he comes off as a good dude. But what is […]

Little St. Nick….Revisited
We might be past Christmas, but if you loved the Beach Boys Christmas Album as much as I did, you’ll want to check this out. From Brian Wilson’s website: This version of “Little St. Nick” was recorded in October 1963, several months before the 1964 Christmas album sessions, and wasn’t used at the time. Brian […]
Van Halen to tour in 2012.
For real, apparently. New album? Details on that remain in the “TBA” category. With both VH and Springsteen on the road, it’s going to be an expensive year!
Duff and GNR rock it.
Pretty cool to see Duff join Axl on stage for last night’s Guns N’ Roses show in Seattle. Perhaps it wasn’t that surprising since his current band Loaded opened the show – which for those in attendance, it probably made a jam seem like a lock. Duff’s appearance might suggest (or it might not) that […]
Del Amitri At Woodstock ’94 +
Former Dels drummer Ashley Soan is the source of these videos from the ‘Twisted’ era….and indeed, how “twisted” it is to see Del Amitri performing with such a happy backdrop behind them. This apparently was one of Soan’s early gigs with the band – on a tour that I was lucky enough to see several […]
A Hard Day’s Night: The REAL First Chord
For all of the times that I heard this as a kid, I never really gave a thought as to how it was manufactured. I LOVE this…and if you’re a Beatles fan, chances are good that you will too.
Anthrax and Testament announce 2012 tour dates
Good news if you missed Anthrax and Testament – they’ll be continuing their run with additional tour dates together in 2012. “The first leg of the tour with Testament and Death Angel was an amazing way to end a great year for Anthrax,” remarks Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, “and it went above and beyond my […]
2012 Rock Hall Inductees Announced
I’m mostly okay with this list, when considering the slate of nominees (yes, there are lots of bands that should have been nominated), but I think it’s a shame that Heart didn’t make the final list of inductees. I would have happily swapped out the Red Hot Chili Peppers to make room. John Soeder has […]
Tom Petty to headline Isle of Wight in 2012
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers will be the Friday night headliner next year at Isle of Wight on June 22nd. Considering that Bruce Springsteen and some bunch of guys that call themselves the E Street Band will also be there headlining on Sunday, June 24th, a trip to Isle of Wight is looking mighty attractive […]
The Muppets….Yaaaaaaay!
I had a chance to go see ‘The Muppets’ over the weekend and how cool is it that we can have a Muppet movie in 2011 that actually doesn’t suck? It’s pretty great to see the positive reception to this movie and whether or not it’s something that your kids will enjoy, I guess that’s […]
