Amy Winehouse, the UK pop star, has turned herself into rehab once again. She wants to sober up for her upcoming European tour this summer.
TMZ, reports.
Some people find it weird but I fucking love Amy Winehouse. I love her music. I wish she would go back in the studio to record a new album, because she hasn’t done a new one since “Back to Black”. I hope her rehab goes well, ’cause I have this feeling it won’t. She might have to cancel her shows in Europe if she doesn’t get well.

On Jimmy Fallon last night there was some kind of CSNY reunion. Jimmy Fallon was playing as Neil Young again singing a song called, “Party In the USA”. Out comes surprise special guest singers: Graham Nash and David Crosby. Yes, the real Graham Nash and David Crosby, not played by actors. This was a killer performance. Nash and Crosby great singers like usual. The only one who didn’t come out was obviously, Stephen Stills.
What’s with all the Jimmy Fallon performing as Neil Young for? I think it’s an obvious hint that the real Neil Young himself will go on the show to sing with Jimmy Fallon. It’s gonna happen at some point, just give it time, folks.
Jimmy Fallon “Late Night” has been on NBC for a long while now. He’s been having so many legendary acts perform on the show everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Megadeth. The real Neil Young haven’t performed on Jimmy Fallon yet. It’s coming, I’m sure.
See the video, here.

The Australian rock band, Silverchair, announced on their official website today, that the band is calling it quits after 20 years of being together. They have been a band since they were 12 year old kids. They first got a record deal after winning a demo competition on a TV show called, “Nomad”. They recorded their winning demo with a song called, “Tomorrow”, which that song became a huge hit in the United States. The song made the band mainstream. The band announced they are on “indefinite hibernation”, meaning that they are not actually broken up for good, they will take a long hiatus from the music business.
The band only released 5 albums in their career, and I thought they were one of the good mainstream rock bands. I thought their albums, “Frogstomp” and “Freak Show” were the best. I was huge fans of these guys.

With all these rock musicians like Ozzy, Sammy Hagar, Nikki Sixx, Brian Johnson of Ac/Dc, Tommy James of the Shondells, Dave Mustaine, Eric Clapton, Billy Corgan, and Pete Townshend doing their own memoirs, what are some other musicians that need to do their own memoir? Musicians who haven’t written a book yet. Billy Idol already has one coming out soon, so no need to list him. Billy Joel was going to do one but he canceled the project, so no need to list him either.
I can think of 5 at the top of my head…
That’s it. Enjoy the list.

First Billy Corgan and now Pete Townshend, the rhythm guitarist for the Who, is now writing his autobiography. It doesn’t have a title yet, but it is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2012.
More on it, here.
I know Pete Townshend is not everyone’s favorite musician anymore because of his past with the law (his child porn case years back), but I think people should read this book to understand him better. I don’t think he’s a pedophile. What he did was research for this memoir ’cause something bad happen in his past that I think he wants to explain in this book.
I’m a huge fan of the Who. They are the most underrated classic rock band. Loved the Who for years, ever since I was a child. I’ve always been a fan of Pete’s guitar playing.
When Harper Collins release this, I’m pretty sure child organizations are going to try to stop them from publishing it, just like they tried to stop the NFL from booking them to play the Superbowl that one year.
I’ll probably buy the book when it comes out ’cause I’m more interested in reading about the Who’s music career.

Paul McCartney hasn’t released a new studio album since 2007’s, “Memory Almost Full”. You don’t have to wait any longer for new music by Paul McCartney because he has two new studio albums planned for the year 2012. The first album he plans on doing is a cover song album. He will collaborate on that album with jazz singer, Diana Krall. Paul plans on recording the covers album early next year.
Paul’s second album planned, is that he plans on recording a hard rock album. Yes, you heard that right. Paul wants to do a Foo Fighter’s inspired, hard rock album.
Read more on the story, here.
Many of you would find Paul’s idea of doing a hard rock album kind of silly and you may think he can’t do it. If you think about it, Paul’s music with his solo career and the Beatles have always been hard rock. He’s also a hard rock singer. You may not agree with it but it’s true. The Beatles have helped launched the careers of many of today’s metal bands including Black Sabbath and Metallica. Plus, Guns N’ Roses covered “Live and Let Die”, a song that Paul wrote for the Wings album.
I think Paul would nail a hard rock album with no problem at all. I think he’ll be successful at it. Paul singing over heavy distorted down tuned guitars? I’m sure he can do it. Paul’s solo music have always been tight, that kind of had a metal edge to it. Think about it.

I’m no fan of Demi Lovato and really don’t pay attention to her, but man, she really grabbed my attention this time.
The disney star Demi Lovato, who just got out of rehab not too long ago released her fitness progress photo on twitter, and man, she’s pretty hot.
Check her out, here.
Looks like a natural look to me. She’s only 18 and she’s way hotter than Miley.

It’s already been a year since we lost RJD, one of the greatest rock and metal singers in history of music. This post is in honor of him. \m/

There have been quite a lot of rock musicians writing their own autobiography books these days. Billy Corgan is about to join that bandwagon. Billy is writing a book titled, “Spiritual” which will focus on the history of the Smashing Pumpkins and his personal life.
Read more on it, here.
As a Smashing Pumpkins fan, I’ll be sure to read this one. I’m interested in learning about the Smashing Pumpkins history more than his personal life. Did Billy actually have a personal life? You always wondered that because he never had much women in his life from what I remember. He dated Courtney Love briefly but that was about it. There were rumors of him dating Jessica Simpson but both of them shot the rumors down last year. I’m sure he’ll be open about the Jessica Simpson friendship in the book too.
This book is going to be an interesting read for sure.
