BREAKING NEWS: Creed reunion is official!!! They will make a stop at SPAC in Aug.!!!

Leave a comment

It was only a matter of time. Scott Stapp has finally agreed to rejoin Creed to record 4th new album and tour. The 4 original members of Creed will make a stop at SPAC in Saratoga Springs on Aug. 11th. I think that’s another concert I’m interested in going to. I’m a fan of Creed, I dig their tunes. I own three of their albums and seen them in concert twice. I’ll see them a third time sure!

Look like the band is on good terms with Stapp and lets see how long Stapp’s relationship with the band will last!

Report: Burglars tried to rob home in Spain, but fled the scene after realizing it was Dolph Lundgren’s home…

Leave a comment

A couple of burglars tried to rob a home in Spain, where a woman was home alone and the burglars tied her up, threatening her with knives to give them jewelry, money, etc. As the burglars were searching this woman’s home, they spotted a family photo where action star Dolph Lundgren was in the picture with the same woman they just tied up. The burglars were like, “Oh shit, this is Dolph Lundgren’s home!!!” So they ran off.

Police are hunting down the attackers and still investigating. Things would have been differently if Dolph himself was home as Dolph is a pretty huge and muscular guy, he is also a martial arts master/expert.

More on it here:

Awwwww man, I wish Dolph was home to see the burglars break in. All I can see Dolph doing is giving his best Ivan Drago impression and saying those famous words, “I must break you”.

Of course, Dolph wouldn’t be home, he’s probably too busy with his next movie, “Command Performance” that he just directed himself, and he’s getting ready to film, “The Expendables” in New Orleans in a couple of weeks.

I’m sure he won’t be too happy when he hears about this news.

Cool Video: Iaz performs new song called “Mental Case” in youtube…

6 Comments

Iaz uploaded a new youtube video, it’s an original song he’s performing, acapella…the lyrics were written by his new girlfriend, Lizsia. Yes, Iaz, has a new girlfriend now, and I’ll be honest, she is actually not a bad looking chick at all, pretty easy on the eyes, and good looking in fact. Maybe guys like Iaz can get all the luck after all, ha ha.

Here is an excerpt of a song called “Relief”, that I wanted to post in the blog, this hasn’t been posted anywhere, so I guess you can call this an exclusive. The section of these lyrics is pretty comical in my part so that’s why I asked them if I can post it.

“Relief”

by Iaz/Lizsia

As I Arrive, at the finish line

My friends they will cheer me, and you will be,

but a faded memory.

So as I pack my bags, I say to you…

CHORUS:

I am tired, oh so tired of all this shit.

So I will run, as far as I can

Away from here, Away from here

 

Good-bye, you can’t bother me now.

I’ve moved on as you read this note.

I’m ridiing out of state, riding out of state. (end song)

Thought: Tinted Windows is one of the best new rock bands out today…

Leave a comment

As I said, I bought the new “Tinted Windows” album today, the new supergroup that everyone is talking about being strange and weird. I agree, it’s a weird lineup. That’s the reason it made me pick up the CD ’cause I was curious to hear it myself.

When I put the album in my CD player and listened to it, I was like,”Wow, this is great rock n’ roll”. I’m sure the metal heads, the jam band fans and pop music fans will be laughing at Tinted Windows. I’m sure they’ll call them an emo band with a Hanson singer, but Tinted Windows is “real” rock n’ roll with a true sound. They are pretty tight and fun to listen to. Taylor Hanson is a good rock n’ roll singer.

The kiddie band, Hanson, maybe mainstream and too pop for your tastes, but hey, they were little kids back then, of course, they were going to sound like that. The Hanson brothers are getting older and exploring new projects.

I listened to the “Tinted Windows” debut album like 2 or 3 times in a row, really good stuff. I enjoyed it. If you like old school Talking Heads and Elvis Costello, you would like these guys. That’s what they sound like old school 80’s rock. James Iha’s guitar playing is really good on this album. That’s what I’m most impressed about. If they come around here for their tour, count me there. This is good stuff, pick up the “Tinted Windows” album yourself, and you would realize that I’m right that these guys are really good even though they have a Hanson brother in it. Just because they have a Hanson brother fronting the band, doesn’t mean it’s going suck.

Stallone news, UFC

Report: Randy Couture to have a match against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102…

Leave a comment

So you think UFC legend Randy Couture is retired from fighting after losing his title to Brock Lesnar and back to acting in Hollywood film for Sly Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables”? Think again. Randy Couture is not yet retired from UFC for good.

It’ll be Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for UFC 102 on Aug. 29th in Portland, Ore. Both men who have casting roles for Stallone’s, “Expendables”.

In this article, Randy speaks his experience filming in Brazil, he says he was tired and burnt out. He said shooting went great and he had a good time. How do you like that UFC fans? Two actors in the same ring together to fight each other for real and not in a Hollywood movie!

I think I’ll definitely be watching UFC 102 when it comes up.

Back online…

I didn’t have internet most of the day, so I worked out and exercised a bit, played a little bit of Guitar Hero: Metallica, then went to Saratoga out to Best Buy to do a little shopping.

I didn’t buy any new video games. I’m not buying any new video games for a long while ’cause I got a few to keep myself busy.

I just picked up a few music CD’s and a few movies on DVD. For music, I picked up the new “Tinted Windows” album, Black Label Society’s new album “Skullage”, and M.I.A’s album “Kala”. For movies, I just picked up two horror films, they are “The Strangers” and “Quarantine”. I’ll give you my thoughts on these things soon.

As for why we didn’t have internet service most of the day today? It’s because of this I believe…

That’s okay. It’s a great day outside anyways, so no need to stay online all day today.

I’ll blog for a little bit today, then I’m off to do other things. I’ll be watching WWE’s “Backlash” ppv tonight, so hope it’s a good one.
