My heart goes out to Rihanna. One of the very few pop singers that I actually enjoy listening to.
Men who beat on women don’t deserve any women at all. I’m sorry, but no matter how much she acts like a bitch to you, never lay a hand on her.
Chris Jericho should follow that advice too.

With the Blink 182 reunion being official from last night’s Grammy’s, it got me thinking that when they said they will go on world tour, they will not fly. They’re travelling across the states, they’ll probably travel by bus, if they tour overseas, they’ll probably travel by boat and rental vehicles. I remember Travis Barker vowing to never fly again, so in the tour lineup, I think they’ll make the tour dates a few days apart to give them time to travel since the band probably won’t be flying.
I was never a Blink 182 fan, but a reunion of the band is good news, I guess.

Oh my! What a Grammy shocker! I thought the “Album of the Year” award was going to go to Coldplay, but Robert Plant and Alison ended up taking the win.
“Raising Sand” is actually a fantastic album, I love it a lot, so this award is well deserving.
Robert and Alison are three time Grammy winners tonight.
I didn’t really care for most of tonight’s Grammy’s but I actually liked a few performances. Robert, Alison and T. Bone of course performed great. I liked the Radiohead performance. Jen Hudson did good, and yes, I’m a Kid Rock fan so I liked his performance as well.
It was an ok Grammy’s show. Nothing great or nothing amazing, but it was okay and pretty decent.

I am watching the Grammy awards as I’m typing this and it’s actually not a bad show. The show doesn’t have a host this year.
Jennifer Hudson won for “Best R&B Album” presented by Whitney Houston. Whitney is looking beautiful and hot looking by the way.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss won for “Best Pop Collaboration”. From Led Zep to Grammy winner. I’m sure Robert now thinks not re-joining Led Zeppelin is a good idea since he just won a Grammy, dont’cha think?
Jennifer Hudson did a good performance, Coldplay did good. Kid Rock did good. U2 did good.
Didn’t really care for Miley Cyrus/Taylor Swift on stage singing together though.
So far, not a bad show. And the award winnings so far, are decent choices actually.

It’s been a while since you’ve seen a new album by legendary pop diva, Whitney Houston, right? Well, the wait is just about over, ’cause Clive Davis says Whitney Houston is ready to head back into the recording studio again after a long hiatus from the music business.
Whitney is set to perform at the Grammy’s this Sunday night.
Rollingstone reports:

I was never a big Whitney Houston fan, never bought her records, but I did grew up listening to her though, she is inspiring. She’s a hit maker and her songs stick to your head.
Hopefully Whitney will stay true to her music and style as she did in the past, in other words, old school Whitney. I usually don’t watch the Grammy’s but I think I’m going to watch it tomorrow night, just for something to watch on TV on a boring Sunday night.

I want to defend Axl Rose’s comment he made about Slash in the Billboard interview, here quoted from the interview:
Axl on reuniting with Guns n’ Roses member Slash:
“In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan’s message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, “Yeah, and while you’re at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.”
Give me a fucking break. What’s clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man.
There are acts that, once committed between individuals, they are what they are. To add insult to injury almost day after day, lapsing into year after year, for more than a decade, is a nightmare. Anyone putting his own personal entertainment above everything else is sickening.”
From Billboard:

Music fans and the press are seeing Axl’s comment there a bash at Slash. The way I read it, I don’t see it as a “bash” at all. I don’t see Axl saying anything negative about Slash.
Those who see it as a bash are taking it out of context.
What Axl is really telling you is that, he is giving you a clear sign that a reunion with Slash or Guns N’ Roses will never happen. Axl has no negative grudge at Slash, Axl is telling things the way they are, with honesty. What he means by when he says that, “one of the two, Slash or Axl, will die before a reunion happens”…he is saying that, a Guns N’ Roses reunion would happen after they grow old and die. Meaning that neither plan to reunite at all, Axl is clearly saying that a Guns N’ Roses reunion would still happen when they aren’t around.
For example, The Grateful Dead still continued without Jerry Garcia, The Doors continued on without Jim Morrison, etc.
Slash is committed with the Velvet Revolver, Axl knows that, that’s why he says Slash has no plans in rejoining Gn’R. Axl is committed with the new Guns N’ Roses. When Axl says, “Anyone putting his own personal entertainment above everything else is sickening.”, what he’s saying there is that he doesn’t want people putting Slash’s entertainment above everything else that is not music. The point he’s trying to make that Guns N’ Roses is not always about Slash. He’s disgusted about how people are obsessed about Slash playing with Gn’R when Gn’R could be for any musician. I think that’s what he means, if I’m wrong, correct me.
Axl is not bashing Slash.

Joe Satriani is taking the high road of his music career and proving the douchebag he really is. I used to respect the Satch as a virtuoso guitar hero, but he’s nothing more of a big ego like the rest of ’em.
Satriani’s lawyer, Howard King, plans on going to the Grammy’s this Sunday to follow wherever Chris Martin and the guys in Coldplay goes at the award show. They hope Coldplay gets the win for “Viva La Vida” which is nominated for a “Record of the Year” award.
More on it here:
Come on guys. Keep this battle in the court room, that’s where it should be. Satriani is really now turning out to be a whiny little prick.
I explained before in a post that Coldplay and Joe Satriani’s songs sound nothing like each other. And it’s not a copyright infrigement if the chord progressions and keys are different. Melodies maybe a little similar true, but in music, there are many songs that sound like each other at some point.
I still feel that Chris Martin will kick Joe’s ass in this battle and Coldplay will prove their innocence. So far, Joe did NOT prove how Coldplay ripped him off in the song. Joe needs to show the court room proof. I don’t think he has any.
Coldplay should do the smart thing and not show up at the Grammy’s at all if Satch is going to have his shady lawyer confront them in person the whole night.
Come on Satch, this is very low of you, man. I used to respect Satch, as a guitarist that I’ve looked after for a long time and losing my patience with him.

It’s official. Bruce hates Ticketmaster like we all do! Thank you, thank you, thank you Bruce, for sticking up for music fans and busting on Ticketmaster!
Even though Ticketmaster stopped the redirecting tickets for higher prices at Springsteen’s request, it still seems that Ticketmaster is in legal trouble. The New Jersey Attorney General discovered that Ticketmaster maybe breaking the state law.

If Ticketmaster gets shut down because of legal issues, that be great! Cheers for the Boss for exposing how shady and greedy Ticketmaster really are!!! Money is all Ticketmaster care about.

Another reason to call the Springsteen performance at the Superbowl an embarrassment. This article confirms that Springsteen sang live for real, but the E Street band were fake playing their instruments.

Wouldn’t surprise me if all Springsteen concerts were played like this.
