RANT: Seriously, the new “myspace music” blows!!!!

10 Comments

*sigh*

Can myspace music get any fucking worse? What the hell!!!!!!!!!!

The new player they just launched today is awful!!! I liked the old player better. And now myspace has got fucking advertisements popping up to direct you to listen to a random band when you want to listen to music in myspace? BULLSHIT!!!!

Unsigned bands and indie artists, here’s some words of advice and my 2cents. Cancel your account and leave that damn site like I did. There are other great sites on the internet to promote your music on. Myspace is going down the drain. Of course, unsigned and indie artists/bands won’t take that advice, they’ll be obsessed with myspace ’til the day they die. They all think myspace is such a great “promoting” and “marketing” site, when they fail to realize the real truth that it don’t do shit with your music. Time to get a reality check and get why myspace is making all these new changes. BLAH!!!!!!!

A day of Metallica shopping…

Leave a comment

So I went to the mall and Best Buy today on my day off. Did a little Metallica shopping.

I picked up 3 Metallica albums: The Black Album, Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning. I don’t have those albums yet. I’ve heard the Black Album too many times but I bought it anyways just so I can own the entire Metallica discography. So I now officially own every Metallica album: “Kill ‘Em All”, “Ride the Lightning”, “And Justice For All”, “Master of Puppets”, “The Black Album”, “Load”, “Reload”, “St. Anger”, and “Death Magnetic”. I even own “S&M” and “Garage Inc”, I also own the Mission Impossible III soundtrack with their “I Dissapear” song on there.

Other than the 3 Metallica albums, I also finally picked up the “Some Kind of Monster” movie on DVD. Then I picked up the Guitar World magazine with Metallica on the cover, lol. So now you see how much I admire the band. They are one of my top 5 important bands in my life. I will watch “Some Kind of Monster” tonight because I’ve never seen the film before.

I did see a movie in theater today, I saw the new Coen Bros. movie “Burn After Reading”, review coming up shortly.

Report: Ac/Dc refuses to sell music on Itunes, the band says they make albums, not singles…

Leave a comment

You think Kid Rock is the only musician who hates Itunes and will never sell music on there? You can add Ac/Dc to the list. The band Ac/Dc refuses to sell their music to Apple’s Itunes because they feel “they make albums, not hit singles”. What they mean is that they feel that all their music is a work of art to listen through an entire album all at once, they don’t want fans just choosing one or two songs they like off the album to listen to when they should listen to an entire album. That is what Angus Young is talking about and why he hates Itunes.

In other words, fans shouldn’t concentrate on listening to just “hit singles” only, when they really should be listening to an entire album.

Angus is dead on right, I agree with him 100%. 🙂

I have noticed a lot of people out there only concentrate on “hit singles” when buying albums or just picking their favorite songs to listen to on the album instead of listening to the whole thing.

That is not me when I listen to music.

When I listen to music, I always listen throughout the entire album, I am not picky and choosy with songs, I normally listen to an entire album.

Those that concentrate on hit radio singles only, have no clue on what music is supposed to be about. I’m not a radio hit single guy either, never was.

Myspace music launch thoughts….

Leave a comment

Yep, so myspace launched “Myspace music” today where 4 different major labels team up with myspace to compete with Itunes.

So this means that the music industry is officially dead, and so is myspace. All dead. Myspace music will not help get more myspace users so they can try to top facebook again. All “Myspace music” is gonna do is turn off more users to leave the site and I’ll have a post about this in the future to explain why myspace gets worse and worse everytime.

The hell with myspace. This is just another ploy to feed Rupert Murdoch more cash into his empire.

I don’t understand why so many unsigned and indie bands support that site so much when they know deep down inside that site is completely useless for music promotion.

I’ll have another post on this soon.

Report: Dave Mustaine is desperate for a #1 Megadeth album in Billboard Top 200…

7 Comments

Dave Mustaine admitted in the Megadeth official forums that the band never had a no. 1 record in the Billboard and his goal with the next record is that he wants it to be no. 1. After just releasing the latest Megadeth album “United Abominations” in 2007 (which that album kicks hella ass by the way), Megadeth is preparing to work in the studio on their next record while the band is just finishing their tour.

More on it here:

Dave is an amazing musician and an excellent songwriter. I’m glad he is preparing for another Megadeth album this soon, but do you think it’ll be no. 1?

I don’t know, I’ll have to wait to hear the album first and then I’ll judge. Their last record “United Abominations” was amazing.

Megadeth shouldn’t be obsessed with making a no. 1 record when they should concentrate on making great music for their fans. Just shows that Dave Mustaine still have a huge ego in him and he’s clearly competing with Metallica, big time. That’s the whole point of Dave forming Megadeth to begin with to compete with Metallica.

Report: Janet Jackson drops Island Def Jam record label…

Leave a comment

Janet Jackson has quit her record label Island Def Jam records after being part of the label’s roster for 14 months. She released her new album “Discipline” through it. The reason for her departure of the label? She’s blaming the label for the bombing of her new album. Accusing them of not promoting it hard enough.

Billboard reports:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003853412

Oh Janet, you shouldn’t blame the record label because of your failed album. The label marketed the album pretty heavily from what I’ve seen. The only reason the new album bombed in record sales and no one bought it is because Janet Jackson sucks and have no talent. Janet’s musical comeback failed. People don’t care for Janet Jackson anymore. She’s an ego driven pop star who think she’ll be successful at everything just because she’s the real life sister of Michael. She should have never came back to music and just retire. Island Def Jam should just sue her ass for her accusations.

Thought: If Metallica is inducted in the Hall of Fame, who should induct them?

Leave a comment

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters is my pick to induct Metallica into the Hall of Fame. It is probably the most likely pick.

I had others in mind like Pat Boone, Ozzy Osbourne, Rick Rubin, Jason Newsted, Dave Mustaine, etc. Yep, I had Mustaine in mind but then I figure Metallica wouldn’t want Dave to induct them. I’m sure Mustaine would go for it if he was asked but since the two have been feuding for over 20 years, I don’t think that’s what Metallica would want.

I’m betting my money that Dave Grohl would probably be the most likely choice.

Anyone else out there have any other choices?

The Listening Room: New Ac/Dc track from new album “War Machine”…

Leave a comment

Ac/Dc uploaded another new song from their new album “Black Ice”. The new song is titled “War Machine”.

Listen to it here at the band’s official site:

http://www.acdcrocks.com/

My thoughts?

It fucking rocks! Definitely better than “Rock N’ Roll Train”!!! In “War Machine” Brian Johnson sounds almost exactly like Bon Scott when he’s singing! How fuckin’ cool is that! Yeah!

I’m really looking forward to “Black Ice” now!

Leave a comment

YES! YES! YES! YES!

IT IS HAPPENING! Metallica finally making their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for this year’s show!

They are named one of the 9 nominations of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with other nominees such as Run-Dmc, Iggy and the Stooges, Jeff Beck, Chic, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, and Bobby Womack.

Billboard reports:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003853273

Metallica will make it in and they will be inducted! I’m feeling it! Congrats once again boys! It’s been a long time coming for them.

I can see an all star superjam with Jeff Beck, the Stooges, War and Metallica jamming on stage all at once at this year’s Hall of Fame show if they all get inducted this year. Jeff Beck and Kirk Hammett jamming on stage together would be badass!

Thought: Why I did not report on the Travis Barker and the Blink 182 DJ plane crash?

9 Comments

It’s because the answer is very simple. I simply do not care about it. I was never a Blink 182 fan to begin with, in fact, I always hated that band so much. I do not know Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein that well. So why should I care about their injuries in a plane crash? Why is people on the internet feeling sorry for them when they should feel sorry about the 4 people that died on the plane? Oh I see. Travis and the DJ are famous musicians, that’s why people feel sorry for them. They don’t feel sorry for people who aren’t famous.

Plane crash, tragic? Not a chance. What is even more tragic and even more important is Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike destroying most of down south. That is what I call tragic. What about the US Embassy being invaded by Al-Qaida’s terrorist? That is tragic as well.

And nobody seems to be caring about them while everyone is crying about Travis Barker and the DJ getting injured in the plane. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous.

This is just proof that America is obsessed with celebrities. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
