Report: Duff and Izzy speak out on the Hall of Fame Induction…

Leave a comment

After Axl Rose wrote a letter to the Hall of Fame, announcing that he wants no part of it, other Guns N’ Roses members are starting to speak out. I just think that the other members want to show the Hall of Fame that they still have heart for the induction.

Duff McKagan responds to Axl’s letter saying that Axl backing out is okay with him. He said the induction is all about the songs. Celebrating the music of Gn’R. Read Duff’s thoughts, here.

Also, Izzy Stradlin one of the guitarists of Gn’R, released a positive statement, saying that he’s all for it, even though he didn’t say anything about Axl or his letter against the HOF, read it, here.

While, I’m sure everyone thinks that the induction is for the original members of Guns N’ Roses, I believe the induction is made for all members of the band over the years. The band went through so many members. Even Buckethead was a brief member, so I wonder if he’ll be part of the induction? As long as he was a member of the band, probably.

Report: Does Dave Grohl have the hots for Frances Bean Cobain? Frances says no, and thinks her Mom should be banned from twitter…

2 Comments

This never ending feud between Dave Grohl and Courtney Love, has gotten much worse. Courtney Love accused Grohl of having an affair with, Frances Bean Cobain. She says Dave Grohl never hit on her, and says Courtney should be banned from twitter.

More on the story, here.

I don’t believe it’s true either. Dave Grohl is a married man himself and has children too, I believe. Plus, Dave is way too busy with the Foo Fighters that he won’t even have the time to get into this drama. I’m pretty sure Dave and Frances Bean are close friends, but not lovers.

Courtney is delusional and she needs to shut her mouth. She’s just a jealous woman that the Foo Fighters career is going somewhere with their music, while her career fails. I give kudos to Dave for staying out of her drama though. He should give her a big fat lawsuit and shut her up for good.

BREAKING NEWS: Axl Rose writes letter to Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, will not attend ceremony and declined induction…

Leave a comment

Well, this is no surprise! Guns N’ Roses is still being inducted, Axl is not going with them. Axl, the frontman of Gn’R, wrote a letter to the Hall of Fame, saying he will not attend and will not be inducted. The reason? He just feels that he isn’t wanted and respected there. I mean, wtf, man? Of course, the Hall of Fame supports him! He’s just being a self centered ego-maniac, like he always is!!!! There is no Guns N’ Roses without Axl because he IS Guns N’ Roses. The guy’s a douchebag, always has been. I usually respect most talent in music but I don’t respect Axl.

Report: Black Sabbath to headline Lollapalooza 2012, minus Bill Ward on drums???

Leave a comment

While Black Sabbath had no choice but to cancel their entire tour that they planned due to Tony’s cancer announcement, the band said they were still going to play a few shows, as a way to keep the fans happy. Tony maybe okay right now, but this is a good time to play a few final shows before he gets worse with his cancer until he isn’t able to play guitar anymore.

While I’m sure Sabbath is still getting a lot of hate from fans because of the Bill Ward controversy, I wish everyone would give the band positive vibes. Simply because Tony is having cancer and the band deserves to retire on a positive note, but fans continue to disrespect the band by blaming Bill’s departure on Sharon and all that stuff. Look, the band is going through some hard times with Tony’s cancer, you think people would give the band respect? No, people just want to continue to be assholes to them.

Sabbath deserves all the support and respect, ’cause Tony is a legend. With or without Bill Ward, it’s still going to be a great fuckin’ performance. Sabbath went through many different members over the years. I also believe that Sabbath went through a different drummer while Ozzy was still frontman in the 70’s. Bill has always been difficult on the guys, so never blame it on Sharon.

Lollapalooza 2012, could be Sabbath’s last and final gig ever. Perry Farrell, who is the longtime founder and owner of the legendary festival, says he’s thrilled and excited to have Black Sabbath perform. He also says he couldn’t believe they actually accepted his offer to play.

I’m sure Sabbath’s performance at Lollapalooza will get the most attention, than most of the acts on the lineup. I’m sure they will get the biggest crowd too. I’m sure looking forward to seeing it, with or without Bill Ward. I won’t be going to the concert itself but I’m sure the internet will live stream it somewhere, so I’ll watch Sabbath’s performance then.

Report: Ronnie Wood says the Rolling Stones could be recording a new album soon…

Leave a comment

The Rolling Stones may not be going on tour this year for their 50th Anniversary but instead, Ronnie Wood, says the band could be headed back to the studio soon for new music. The band is going to back into the studio this month just to throw ideas around and to see what happens. He explains that doing this is like training for the Olympics.

If the Stones do release a new album with new original material, this will be their first studio album with new music since 2005’s, “A Bigger Bang”. It’s been a long time since they put out a new album.

I’m no big Stones fan but I do like some of their songs. I just own their Greatest Hits album only. I wouldn’t buy their full albums. I do respect Keith Richards and the Stones legacy. I’m just not that crazy about Jagger’s singing, though. Keith is one of the best rock guitarists and I respect him.

BREAKING NEWS: Ronnie Montrose death ruled a suicide…

Leave a comment

The cause of death of legendary guitarist, Ronnie Montrose, has been revealed. He committed suicide, he didn’t die of cancer. The family released a statement confirming it, but they wouldn’t say how he killed himself understandably, and nobody needs to know. This is sad news and a sad way for someone to go out. Suicide is never the answer no matter if you have cancer or whatever.

RIP Kurt and Layne…

1 Comment

The Grunge era back in the 90’s, was a huge part of my life. I believe I was a young kid back then during my high school days. I listened to all the Grunge bands: Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. That era was part of what made me want to become a guitar player.

I’ll always love the music of Nirvana and AIC. RIP, both Kurt and Layne.

Report: John Fogerty, collaborates with the Foo Fighters and country stars for new solo album…

Leave a comment

John Fogerty, the former frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival, announced the news of his next solo album titled, “A Song For Everyone”, which will be released this fall. The album will be an all star collaboration with the Foo Fighters, Bob Seger, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, and more.

Read more on it, here.

Sounds nice, but John Fogerty is talented enough that he doesn’t need all them stars to collaborate with him. He does a fine job on his own! I love CCR and John Fogerty solo. As you all know, Fogerty mixes rock, country and blues into one genre. I saw Fogerty perform live at SPAC one year. I’ll never forget that show.
