Report: Ever wonder about Neil Young’s live gear setup? Here are the details…
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:

Thought: Brock hasn’t watch WWE for the past month or so!!!!
I haven’t watched WWE for the past month or so. I think I’ve given it up for good. I don’t like the direction that the company is in. Not liking the storylines and the current fueds ’cause all seem very childlike with their obvious new PG direction. This is a show strictly aimed for 5-10 year old kids now. It’s almost like Nikelodeon or Disney or something.
Although I don’t watch WWE much anymore, I still RESPECT, the superstars and the performers. I still say some of them are my favorites like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, etc. I don’t like how their characters are aimed toward children now.
I miss the violence, I miss the blood, and I miss the Divas showing lots of cleavage. The Divas don’t even show much cleavage anymore. They now wear things that pretty much cover their plastic implanted breasts.
It’s just sad. If WWE is going to make this strictly for children, I would change the scheduling times instead of like 8 or 9 at night. Make WWE so kids can come home from school and watch it then. They’ll get more ratings that way, trust me. Not many kids stay up past nine at night, because their parents put them to bed by then.
I remember back in the 80’s during the old days of WWE, that those shows used to be on Saturday mornings weekly. Maybe WWE should consider going back to that root?
Have the kids WWE shows on the weekend and during the week make RAW/ECW/SD back to PG-14.
I still like the wrestlers that perform these shows in WWE, it’s just the direction that the company is in, is my only complaint.
This is why I watch Monday Night Football on TV instead of RAW on Monday nights. I’ve been getting into Football now and grown into liking it. I have also switched to being a UFC fan full time. So I watch UFC ppv’s instead of WWE ppv’s. I like UFC more now, ’cause they have something that WWE doesn’t have. Blood and hardcore violence that is real.
Maybe the kids deserve to see their WWE, don’t know, but I wish WWE would quit overdoing this kids thing. I love wrestling, always had and always will, but WWE will lose their adult fans if they keep doing this. They already lost quite a bit of adult fans.
What would make me start watching WWE again? If they ever go back to PG-14 which I doubt they ever will, then maybe. I don’t care for the family version of WWE. It just sucks right now.

BREAKING NEWS: Shane McMahon resigns from WWE, effective January 1st, 2010…
Shane McMahon who is the son of Vince and Linda McMahon has officially announced resignation from the WWE. Those who don’t know who he is, he was also an occasional performer in WWE known as the “Boy Wonder”, he sometimes wrestles in PPV matches and performs in storylines with other superstars. He is also the Executive Vice President for the Global Media for the WWE business overall behind the scenes.
Read Shane’s open message to WWE fans on WWE.com here:
http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/snanemcmahonresigns
Is this for real or is this a storyline? First Linda McMahon resigns from WWE to begin her political dreams. Now Shane quits WWE. What is it with the McMahon’s quitting? Is Stephanie McMahon next?
Vince can’t quit ’cause he’s the owner, he would have to sell the business if he wanted to leave.
I’m sure Shane McMahon will return to WWE TV before he leaves in January. I’m guessing they will make him guest host for Monday Night RAW.

Report: Garth Brooks is coming back to the country music industry, I lost count how many times he came out of retirement…
Country music superstar and legend, Garth Brooks is coming back to the music industry full time, with a possible new album and world tour to follow it. I had a feeling this was possible that he could be coming back since he’s been making occasional live performances and appearances here and there. For example, his latest live performance, he played a show at Barack Obama’s “We Are One”, concert Inaugural celebration. Garth still has the superstardom he always had and the talent he always had, he is coming back to let the world know that he still has it.
Billboard reports:

I actually like Garth’s music. Kind of glad he is coming back. Hope he makes a rocking new album and not that slow country shit. I’m sure he won’t dissapoint his comeback. Either stay with us or leave us, Garth, make up your mind. Stop being such an attention whore with your “farewell” tours and goodbye announcements like you’ve done so many times!

Report: Young boy makes his own balloon and flies it himself!!!
Who said adults can only be daredevils? Little boys can be daredevils too! A 6 year old boy, in Fort Collins, Colorado, decided to make a homemade balloon so he can go flying in it himself. Guess what. His little invention and plan worked successfully! The boy was flying in the air all by himself!
The boy’s balloon landed and was no where to be found near it.
More on it here:

This boy probably fantasized and dreamed about flying for a long time, that he badily wanted to do it himself. Many young kids dream of flying, but kudos to this kid for actually doing something.
Hope he’s okay and still alive. It would be amazing, if he is.
What a cool way to look back at your childhood when this kid is a full grown adult! I’m sure this kid wasn’t even scared, I’m positive he was having a blast being in the air!

Report: Kiss is no longer a Billboard hit, Michael Buble steals the legendary band’s spotlight…
Kiss’s new album, “Sonic Boom” couldn’t even make no. 1 in the Billboard. Instead, a new singer/songwriter that is unknown steal the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer hopefuls spotlight. That is Michael Buble.
Kiss only sold 108,000 copies of “Sonic Boom”, while Buble sold 132,000.
108,000 copies of “Sonic Boom” is not really that great if you think about it. So that’s further proof that not many people out there care for Kiss anymore. I like Kiss but only with Ace Frehley. I don’t like Kiss with other guitarists.

Brock’s recent album purchases from Itunes today…
So I went to Best Buy and picked up an Itunes card to purchase albums from Itunes that I wanted.
Here’s the albums that I purchased for my Ipod today:
- Lunic “Skeletons”
- Lunic “Splinter”
- Sean Rowe “Magic”
- Twisted Sister “Stay Hungry 25th Anniversary”
- Bob Dylan – “Christmas In the Heart”
- Nirvana “Reading Festival” (pre-ordered, will have it on my Ipod on Nov. 3rd when it’s released)
I listened to clips of Dylan’s new Christmas album and really quite liked it a lot.
The Nirvana “Reading Festival” album will start downloading automattically on release date since it’s pre-ordered so I don’t have it yet.
I now have all three of Lunic’s albums and will be buying anything new that Lunic comes out with in the future.

Report: People magazine is the first to pick up a recent pic of an adult Jaycee Lee Dugard…
I’m sure many other celeb news magazines were fighting for this. Trying to get the opportunity to get a recent photo of Jaycee Lee Dugard, but it appears, that People magazine won that opportunity.
My thoughts? I think she’s beautiful, absolutely gorgeous I must say. She hasn’t changed a bit since she was a little girl at 11.
I think she’s going to try and write an autobiography of her life, revealing about her past with Phillip Garrido and we’ll find out soon, which TV show will score an interview with Jaycee Lee Dugard.
Dateline NBC will probably try to get Jaycee for an interview, I bet Larry King and Oprah are trying to get her too.
And of course, Hollywood will probabaly do a movie on this as well.
