MySpace Unveils New MySpace Music and I’m Not Impressed

So the day finally came last Thursday - MySpace finally unveiled it’s much talked about MySpace Music Platform.

Has Hell Frozen Over? Axl Rose Finally Releasing ‘Chinese Democracy’

In the midst of the great alternative scene of the early 90’s, one of the greatest rock n’ roll bands ever slowly disintegrated.

While the other band members moved on, Axl Rose kept the G N’ R name, and began work on the band’s sixth album. Since then Chinese Democracy has been well over a decade in the making, and has probably cost somewhere over $13 million, along with several botox injections.

Weezer at Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden New Jersy 9/27

This past Saturday I finally got to see the one and only Weezer.

So, was the waiting worth it? Absolutely.

Oasis Giving Fans a Free Download

Oasis are giving fans a chance to download a free song when they pre-order the band’s upcoming album Dig Out Your Soul from iTunes.

Scott Weiland Streams New Solo Tracks

Scott Weiland has posted two new tracks from his upcoming solo release Happy in Galoshes.

You can check out “Missing Cleveland” on Weiland’s MySpace page, while the track “Paralysis” is streaming over at Spin.

As previously posted, Happy in Galoshes will hit shelves on November 25 (although the release date was originall November, 18, so I’m assuming that it was pushed back a week) through Weiland’s Softdrive records, and will be Weiland’s second solo release, following 1998’s 12 Bar Blues.

Kings of Leon - “Sex on Fire”

Somewhere in between my current rotation of Radiohead, The Killers, Bruce Springsteen and of course my Pearl Jam fix, the Kings of Leon have snuck in with “Sex on Fire”.

Metallica Regains Rock Supremecy with “Death Magnetic”

Friday came. I woke up and walked down to the local record shop, without blinking. I found it fitting that it was raining it’s ass off. Because that’s the connection I have to Metallica. Rain, sleet, or snow - nothing was going to stop me from picking up their new album, Death Magnetic.

Foo Fighters on Hiatus

I just read the news that the Foo Fighters are going on hiatus. This makes me very sad.

Dave Grohl broke the news to BBC Radio One DJ Chris Moyles. So, what prompted this decision? Apparently it was the band’s two night stand at Wembley Stadium back in July, where they were joined by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

The Killers Release New Album Details

Las Vegas natives The Killers have released details about their upcoming third album.

The follow up to 2006’s Sam’s Town is entitled Day and Age and will be released on November 24 in the UK and November 25 in the U.S., with the first single being “Human”.

Metal Up Your Ass: 20 Things That You Didn’t Know About Metallica

Since today is the release of the much anticipated Death Magnetic, I thought it would be fun to share some lesser known info about the one and only Metallica.

James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich met after James responded to an ad Lars had placed in The Recycler, which was looking for people to jam with.

AC/DC Announce North American Tour

The legendary Aussies have announced the first leg of their world tour, which is their first since 2001.

AC/DC will kick things off on October, 28 in Wilkes-Barre, PA an will end this first leg on December, 18 in Charlotte, NC. The tour will be in support of the band’s upcoming release Black Ice, which will be released exclusively through Wal-Mart on October 20. Tickets will begin going on sale September 20 through Ticketmaster, as if there is another choice.

Pearl Jam - “Puzzle and Game”

For many I bet this song doesn’t ring a bell at first, but we’ll fix that in a minute.

“Puzzle and Game” is actually the demo version of “Light Years” from 2000’s Binaural. “Light Years” would also make an appearance on rearviewmirrow: Greatest Hits 1991-2003.

Sonic Youth Find New Label

I mentioned not too long ago that Sonic Youth had left Geffen Records, who was their home since 1990.

At the time, in a interview with Rolling Stone, Thurston Moore wouldn’t say who they were going to release their new album through, except that it would be a indie label.

Scott Weiland Solo Tour, Alice in Chains To Record New Album, Oasis Attacked

Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland will be embarking on a solo tour this November and December. Weiland will be on the road promoting his second solo album Happy in Galoshes. I mentioned the release date last week, which will be November 18, but I had the title wrong. My bad. Hopefully, Scott won’t fuck up this solo tour like he did in 1998 when promoting 12 Bar Blues.
