That’s very good of these guys to do! Just shows that James, Lars, and the guys really do care and love their fans so much!
Kudos! I hope this girl is found too. Hope she’s safe.

When they tried to make her go to rehab and she said, “No, no, no”…Amy Winehouse is now clean according to her father, Mitch.
Amy has been vacationing on the Carribean Island of St. Lucia.

Great news! I’m sure she still has a few drinks every now and then, but glad she’s stayed off drugs completely for at least a while. Who knows when she’ll get back on them again in the future.
Lets hope she dates the right men that won’t turn her back on to drugs.
I totally blame her ex-husband, Blake, and musician Pete Doherty that got her addicted.

Pretty much all of Mason Jennings records are slow, acoustic folk type of stuff. Well, he’s got a new album out called, “Blood of Man” which is his 8th studio album.
In this album, Mason rocked it up some more by making it a rock n’ roll record more than his usual acoustic music. He is still signed on to Jack Johnson’s record label, Brushfire Records, but when Mason submitted “Blood of Man” to the label, he was worried that the album was going to get rejected. The reason? Brushfire records is mostly a label that’s for mellow and slow type of stuff, it’s not really for rock records. Turns out the people at, Brushfire Records, loved Mason’s new album and confirmed it for release.
Mason also plans to tour in support of the new album. He will record these shows live but there are no plans for a Mason Jennings live album at this point.

Mason is one of my favorite singer/songwriters, I love the guy’s music. I hope he comes around here in the Albany area when he tours ’cause I would go see him if he does!
Looking forward to getting his new record! I listened to clips of it and there is electric guitar on it!
Now that I think of it, I’ll be able to collect the rest of his older albums from Itunes store which I will do soon.
Listen to Mason’s new song “Ain’t No Friend of Mine” with some rockin’ electric guitar in the video below!

“High School the Musical” director Adam Shankman, is set to bring us “Rock of Ages” broadway musical to the big screen. “Rock of Ages” is a broadway musical play that focused mostly on 80’s rock music. The musical starred former American Idol star, Constantine Maroulis.
Shankman says this movie will be strictly aimed toward the men audience by describing it, “The Mamma Mia for dudes”.

No casting announcement for the film version yet, but I’m willing to bet they will sign Constantine Maroulis for the film version too. I don’t see anybody else playing the Drew character other than Constantine.

Well, you’ve seen the game has been way overhyped before it’s release. You’ve seen this game advertised all over video game stores and on the internet. Guess what? The game is not such a huge seller after all.

Ouch! I don’t find this a surprise. Why? I think it’s because people are sick of the Beatles and they are way past their time. I like some Beatles songs but not that big of a die hard.
I once said on Twitter I actually tried Beatles Rock Band on a demo at the video game store at the mall. I thought it was kind of cool actually, but it would be nothing I would buy since the guitar and the game for both is way overpriced.

Not bad, these pics are interesting. Now you know what it could be like when Homer is banging Marge away in bed.
They should do Jessica Rabbit and Lara Croft animated next.

I received “Muscle and Fitness” magazine in the mail after subscribing it, and in the December Issue, it is mostly a “Supplement Issue”. It’s like a complete guide to supplements.
Scooby’s Workshop claims “Supplements” aren’t good for muscle building. Read this month’s “M&F” and you would see why that guy is so wrong. The magazine explains everything in detail on how supplements are very healthy and how they really work your body.
The most popular supplements I’ve heard of so far, is Whey Protein and Creatine. I’ve been using Whey Protein but haven’t been trying any other supplements yet, but after having reading this issue makes me want to try some of the other ones reccomended in this magazine. I think I will try creatine.

Since the next installment of Ghostbusters will focus on recruiting 4 young Ghostbusters to replace the originals, I wanted to name my choices of actors that should star in “Ghostbusters 3”.
Here are my choices:
There’s been reports that they are planning on adding a female Ghostbuster to the lineup. I think Steve Carrell would make a good version of a young Egon. Ben would make a good version of a young Ray. Jack would make a good version of a young Peter Venkman. The female Ghostbuster would probably end up being a love interest with one of them and she joins up with them.
According to AICN, look like “Ghostbusters 3” is heading into reality so it looks like it’s definitely happening.

Most famous rock n’ roll bands use a lot of very expensive, fancy gadgets, and impressive equipment when playing live on stage. Stuff like 4 or 5 Full stack of Marshall amps, loads of pedalboards, and like 20 different guitars on stage.
Not with Neil Young. Neil keeps his live setup small and simple. Simply by using a few beat up vintage amps, and he doesn’t use too many guitars on stage.
Neil uses the same gear throughout his gigs and uses the same guitar throughout his performance. His no. 1 rule when playing, he always thought it was better to not change anything at concerts.
Bands like to switch guitars on stage and use different sounds, but Neil likes to keep everything the same.
Read this interesting article here on how Neil plays live:
