Yep, it’s gonna be the Led Zeppelin 02 reunion show getting released…

If you do the math, the Led Zeppelin concert reunion at the 02 in London was 5 years ago. It wouldn’t make sense if it was a 5th album ’cause “Houses of the Holy” was their fifth. Anyway, I’m excited for this ’cause I will buy the 02 live show on both Blu Ray and audio CD…but who knows…maybe the announcement will be totally different and it could be a new Led Zeppelin album. Maybe the boys have been in the studio for the last 5 years, quietly recording a new album without letting us know about it. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m excited for this myself.

Cool Photo: Huh? What is this Led Zeppelin is teasing us? Are we going to get a “Led Zeppelin V”? New album on the way???

Jimmy Page, once said as soon as he gets his official website up, he was going to work on new music. Possible for a new solo album or whatever. Turns out that Jimmy must of got the guys together in Led Zeppelin and made a new album together, “Led Zeppelin V”? After a few years of Robert refusing to re-join Led Zeppelin, looks like Jimmy finally talked Robert into it, hopefully. This could be a new Led Zeppelin album, with new music. I’m hoping, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe the guys are coming back for a new album and tour after all? I’ve always wanted Led Zep to make one last and final album, and looks like it’s coming to a reality. This doesn’t really confirm a new album, this is a just a teaser of something mysterious, but it’s a big possibility that it’s a new album. They’ve been known to numbering albums: “Led Zep I”, “Led Zep II”, “Led Zep III” and “Led Zep IV: Zoso”. This could be “Led Zep V”.

Check out the band’s mysterious teaser, here.

Led Zeppelin return 2013???? Keep fingers crossed for now!

EDIT TO ADD: Or this could be the 02 reunion finally getting a DVD/BluRay/CD release. Either way it’s a possibility. This could be just a count down leading to their big announcement. Whatever it is they are teasing.

Rolling Stones to announce new album and tour?

The Rolling Stones revealed they are about ready to make a huge announcement but aren’t saying what yet. I’ll bet you $20, the announcement is going to be a new album with new music and a world tour.

They’re already teasing it, here.

Even though I’m not much of a Stones fan, I guess it’s pretty exciting that the band is making a comeback finally. I’m sure they still have their popularity even if they’ve been gone for a long time and I’m sure they’ll still fill up arenas and stadiums all over the world. I’m sure they still got it.

Report: LL Cool J brings his hit, “Mama Said Knock You Out” to real life by catching a would be burglar at his home…

What I mean by the title of this topic, LL wrote the song “Mama Said Knock You Out”, which is about him being a fighter, and acting like a tough guy. Well he brought that tough guy attitude to real life when he actually stopped a would be burglar, who was about ready to rob his home. The suspect was caught by LL himself who happened to be home at the time.

If you look at the lyrics to the song, “Mama Said Knock You Out”, it shows that the song could be how he is in real life, he’s a tough guy and a fighter, who don’t take shit from anyone. Don’t mess with LL Cool J, or he could knock you out.

Soundgarden announces new album titled, “King Animal” for a Fall release this year…

The mighty Soundgarden, just announced new details finally of their upcoming new album they planned, a while back. The name of the new album will be titled, “King Animal”, slated for a Fall release date. You can hear a preview of a new song off the album on this website, here.

As a big Soundgarden fan, I’m looking forward to hearing what they have in store for us musically. From the sound of things, sounds like they’re going back to their old school sound they had back in the 80’s. I don’t think this will be another, “Down On the Upside” album, which was their previous album released in 1996.

I’m definitely looking forward to the new album.

Pussy Riot, now world famous all of a sudden? Seems so…

The Pussy Riot girls seem to be looked at as world heroes after all. They are now respected by most countries around the world, and that includes the USA. Pussy Riot is a pretty large group of girls, at least 10 members, I think. Only 3 of the girls were put to prison. I don’t think Pussy Riot is a signed band. They look like they are unsigned to me. Before this news started, I’m sure they’re very popular in Russia, and now they’re popular everywhere.

I’m sure the US Major label industry is all over them now. The major labels over here will want to try to sign them somehow but it might be pretty tough to do. I can definitely see Hollywood making a documentary or a biopic film on the, Pussy Riot girls though. The movies would probably happen first before the record deals. The thing is, the Pussy Riot girls don’t make music to entertain people, they are set out to put Vladimir Putin’s presidency to an end. That’s their only mission. They’re not about getting as many supporters or fans as possible. They are about sending a political message.

Most big name rock stars in the industry today, have expressed support toward them like Madonna, Sting, Pete Townshend, the Black Keys, Bjork, etc. The list goes on. I can also see more bands getting formed that will imitate their sound and image. I can see authors wanting to write books on them as well. The fact is, Pussy Riot is going to be everywhere in the Entertainment Industry pretty soon. That’s the point of this post.

A documentary film will happen for them first. Then maybe a biopic later. Possibly US record deals, and many books will be written about them. I’m sure plenty of musicians have already started writing songs about the Pussy Riot girls too. Do the girls deserve all this publicity? Yes absolutely! They certainly are making a difference in the world. So they deserve all the help from everyone and they deserve to get known.

I totally respect them myself and am planning on writing a song about them myself sometime in the future.

Cool Video: Dave Mustaine was only quoting what Larry Pratt said at the Singapore concert…

Well that was fast! Dave Mustaine called up the Alex Jones show to clarify what he said at the Megadeth, Singapore concert. Dave said he was only quoting what Larry Pratt said when he blamed Obama on the shootings. Larry Pratt did an interview with Alex Jones way before Dave Mustaine said it, and Larry said pretty much the same thing.

I still support Megadeth ’cause I am a fan of their music. I dig their stuff, plus Dave is an excellent songwriter and guitar player. Larry Pratt was the first one to blame Obama and the government for shootings, how come nobody’s hating on him? Alex is right on the money!

BREAKING NEWS: Pussy Riot, found guilty, they will serve two years in prison for Hooliganism…

Today, the verdict has been read for the three Russian women who are members of the punk rock band, Pussy Riot. They were found guilty for Hooliganism, protesting to end the presidency of Vladmir Putin at a religious Cathedral in Russia. After doing more research on Putin, I read that the guy is an evil monster. Put him along the same lines of Joseph Stalin or Hitler. These girls were trying to do good for their country.

While this is bullshit, protesting to get rid of your home country president is a good thing and going to prison for a few years would be worth it for them. When they get released from prison in a few years, I don’t see them stopping the protesting, they’ll keep doing it again, again, and again until Putin is no longer, President. They’ll keep doing it even if they get arrested again. They won’t give up until Putin is done. These girls are sacrificing themselves to do something good for their country. So these girls should be considered world heroes, not enemies.

Just something to keep in mind.
