I never got to see the band Megadeth before. I might get to ’cause Megadeth is playing a show near my hometown. They’re playing at a big music festival at the Schaghticoke Fair in Schagticoke, N.Y. which is a small town about 20 minutes away from me. Yes, a big 3 day music festival is being taken place near my hometown. I’d like to go to this to see Megadeth and to go to this show for a day would cost about $70.00 which isn’t bad. I’ll only go to this show for a day to see Megadeth and maybe Ghost too. I love the band Ghost and always wanted to see them as well.

I really want to see Megadeth live ’cause I’m such a big fan of them. Love Dave Mustaine and his songwriting. “Dystopia” is a pretty amazing record and I would love to hear Megadeth perform those songs live and of course, hear all their hits too. It’ll be awesome to see Megadeth live. I’m actually thinking about going to this one. Not sure. If I did go, I would only go on Sunday so I can see Megadeth and Ghost. Maybe I’ll check out the other bands on that day too.

It’ll be cool to see a band that I love and not have to travel far to see them. Schaghticoke is only about 20 minutes away from me. I know right where the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds is ’cause I travel through there all the time.

Is it wrong for me to support Burzum’s music? No, I don’t feel ashamed of it either!

Leave a comment

Burzum is a music project which was founded and created by Norway musician, Varg Vikernes. You may think of Burzum as a black metal band which they are pretty much but they are more than just metal. Varg makes a lot of instrumentals and ambient songs. He doesn’t just scream and growl in his songs either, he sings regularly in a lot of them too. His music is pretty medieval sounding. I know it may seem kind of wrong to support Burzum’s music ’cause you know that Varg Vikernes is a pretty evil and psychotic guy. When Varg was young, he murdered the singer of Mayhem and burned down some churches. It may feel a little uncomfortable supporting this guy’s music but man, I can’t help myself. The music of Burzum is so good. I’ve been a fan of them for a long while.

Thanks to Apple Music streaming, I got to stream all Burzum albums and I love ’em all really. Varg Vikernes maybe psychotic and the dude maybe a whack job but that guy is so talented musically, though. You should check out Burzum music yourself. I’m a pretty big fan of Burzum and have been for a while. It was Guitar World magazine that first introduced me to them so I got intrigued.

Video: Foo Fighters shoot down breakup rumors in this hilarious video… it gave me a laugh too!

Leave a comment

The Foo Fighters shoot down breakup rumors once again in this hilarious video. It was funny and I laughed at it too. Especially the ending when Dave was singing “Phoney Baloney”, that was the best part of the video. The Nick Lachey appearance was good too. Nick Lachey was one of the singers in the boy band group, 98 Degrees and he actually sounded good singing a Foo Fighters song.

I loved how the Foo Fighters made fun of themselves in this video. Dave always had a wild and crazy sense of humor. He always had that crazy sense of humor ever since the Nirvana days and his comedian-like personality never changed today as you can see. He’s the same old Dave Grohl.

Jimmy Page & Robert Plant both defend “Stairway” in court declaration…

Leave a comment

Both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote a declaration or a summary judgement motion defending “Stairway”, the song that made the band famous.

Jimmy says that descending opening chord riff is pretty common in other songs which is true. That opening chromatic chord riff heard in “Stairway” is everywhere in music. Jimmy also claims he never heard the “Taurus” song until this controversy started in 2014. Both Jimmy and Robert says Led Zeppelin & Spirit never shared the stage together even though it was claimed by the media that they did.

Once again, I find it real sad that Led Zeppelin is always a target of “plagiarism” when other legendary rock bands have iconic songs that are similar to other songs. For example Deep Purple “Black Night”… the riff for that song was ripped off from Ricky Nelson’s “Summertime” and Blackmore admitted to stealing the riff but you never see anyone giving him hell for it.

When you write a song and it sounds like someone else’s, it’s not always their fault. When a songwriter does decide to steal an idea from another song, it’s usually called “borrowing” and it’s pretty common in music but sometimes “plagiarism” happens by accident and coincidently.

I’m calling it… this Led Zeppelin “Taurus” thing was not plagiarism, it was by coincidence.

I think Led Zeppelin will prevail this time and will win the dismissal. Spirit has no case. Why sue Led Zeppelin now when they could have years ago? I think the people behind Spirit are desperate and jealous of Led Zeppelin’s legacy. Spirit an ego-driven band looking to get rich off of them.

“Free Kesha” from what? It isn’t like she’ s in jail or anything…

Leave a comment

All the feminazis are acting like Kesha is in jail or something but she’s not. So I think this “Free Kesha” movement that liberal Hollywood got going on is pretty fucking stupid and a waste of time. Kesha and other pop stars are making it seem like it’s impossible to break contract with Dr. Luke’s label which is owned by Sony. I’m no record label expert so I don’t know anything about that stuff but I’m sure she can easily get out of her record label if she wants to… legally and fairly. Other artists had successfully left their record labels when they’re struggling. They didn’t get out of it by hitting the record producer with slander & libel.

On top of that, if you read the bottom of this article, the New York Supreme Court discovered that Kesha is free to record music without Dr. Luke as producer if she wants to and I think she knows that. If she doesn’t feel comfortable working with him, she doesn’t have to and she can stay in that label to finish off the contract. If she decided that she didn’t like the label, it was her own fault ’cause she was the one who signed on the line to begin with.

http://www.bustle.com/articles/143067-how-can-an-artist-get-out-of-a-record-contract-kesha-dr-lukes-case-raises

So once again, free Kesha from what? Nobody owes her anything. She’s just a stupid ego-driven and greedy cunt trying to extort money off of this guy for sure. That’s all she’s doing. All that crying Kesha did in court, she was just acting and faking it so she can look “serious”. She doesn’t give a rats ass. All she cares about is destroying this Dr. Luke guy and take all his money.

All those feminazis are wasting their time campaigning for this so keep trying you bunch of losers.

See? Kesha looking to get rich off her feud against Dr. Luke… toldjaso!!!

Leave a comment

I’m still standing by my opinion that I think Kesha made up the rape claims as a way for her to destroy Dr. Luke so she can get more money and more fame. Bigger career opportunities. I think she only wants to get out of Dr. Luke’s label for those reasons. I know the preliminary injunction doesn’t pay her more money but think how this could help her get richer in other ways? Taylor Swift just donated money to her is one way. Maybe she wants to sign with a different label that pays a lot more?

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/taylor-swift-donates-250-000-to-kesha-after-court-ruling-20160222

Why is Kesha desperate to get out of Dr. Luke’s label? Is it because her latest album, “Warrior” only made it to no. 6 on the Billboard Top 200? That’s all that there is to be said about this. Maybe this is Kesha’s payback at Dr. Luke ’cause “Warrior” didn’t make it to No. 1 in the Billboard, ya know?

Why won’t she just leave Dr. Luke’s label herself? Why does she have to hit him with these ridiculous rape claims with no evidence to prove it? Whatever gets her more attention and more fame. If Dr. Luke really raped her then prove it. Of course, proving that he raped her can be tough but it can be done like dna testing, blood tests, seminal fluid testing, etc. She blames Dr. Luke for a lot of her problems so it’s nothing new.

Like I said before, you can’t trust them pop stars ’cause they can be ego-driven bitches for sure.

What she’s doing to Dr. Luke is definitely “extortion” (or blackmail). She’s just a greedy cunt, nothing more. This will get her nowhere and I predict Dr. Luke will prevail ’cause you don’t want to mess with industry people. I think it’s a good idea that Kesha should back off before she loses everything she has. It’s gonna hit her hard. Trust me.

If my opinion on this offends the feminists and liberals out there, I don’t give a shit.

Video: Rihana’s new song “Work” w/ Drake…

Leave a comment

Okay, I’m a pretty big Rihanna fan and not afraid to say it. I’ve been a fan of her music for a long while now and I think her new album, “Anti” is her best album in her career. I listened to that album a couple of times and think I’m gonna get my own copy.

You get to see Rihanna’s boobs as she’s wearing a see-thru at the second half of this video. It’s a good song and a cool video too.

Yeah, I dig some pop and R&B. I’ve got to have a variety of music to listen as I listen to a bit of everything.

Thoughts on this Kesha vs. Dr. Luke feud… she could have made up the rape claims for a bigger payday…

Leave a comment

I haven’t been following this Kesha vs. Dr Luke feud but after doing a little reading about it, I find it pretty interesting to say the least. The judge just recently struck down Kesha’s preliminary injunction in which is something that would release her from her record contract with Dr. Luke which she is signed with. She wants to break off with the record contract with him due to the rape allegations ’cause she’s afraid it would destroy her career if she continues to work with him but the judge is not allowing her to break off the contract with him. Simply because the contract was already heavily negotiated. In other words, the judge is saying… “This isn’t our responsibility, this is the record labels”. Meaning that she shouldn’t break off a contract after all that work.

Dr. Luke says he’s innocent and Kesha says he’s guilty. She wants to get out of the contract so she can stop working with him.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/judge-wont-let-kesha-escape-867571

Of course, a lot of people… mostly liberals and feminists are siding with her in this “Free Kesha” movement but lets be realistic here.

How do you that Kesha was really raped by this guy? She just telling her own side of the story. Not giving any proof or hard evidence to back her claims up. You don’t know the full story and you don’t know the full details.

Do you think that maybe she could be making the whole thing up just so she can get more money and perhaps a bigger career in music? She’s already getting a lot of attention with this story in the news so go figure. I think she is just trying to destroy this guy as a way for her to get a bigger payday and career. You can’t trust those pop stars. A lot of them can be ego-driven bitches and they will do anything to get more money & fame when their career isn’t doing good. She’s a one hit wonder with her “Tik Tok” song anyways.

I’m not really defending Dr. Luke ’cause he’s just telling his side of the story as well so I’m not siding with anyone on this one. You can’t trust these music industry people. The music industry is full of shady people you can’t trust.

The judge did a good move striking it down. Nobody owes Kesha anything. If her claims were true then why don’t Kesha press charges on Dr. Luke instead of suing him to break out of contract? She sounds desperate and greedy to me. Press charges and face off in a real trial. See if her claims is true the hard way. Stupid bitch… ha ha…

Why is Ritchie Blackmore banned from attending Rock and Roll Hall of fame Ceremony? Still not getting along with Deep Purple???

Leave a comment

https://www.facebook.com/ritchieblackmore/?target_post=10153743892090020

Why is it that when a legendary band gets inducted to the Hall of Fame, there is always this dispute on which members will be inducted or who will attending? Keep in mind this isn’t the first time this happened with legendary bands. It happened with the Sex Pistols, Guns N’ Roses, Kiss and maybe a few others. I think it shows people that legendary bands aren’t all that special and perfect as some would want to believe. These musicians are human and they have feelings too in other words these bands are the real deal. They like to look at the world in an honest direction is what it is.

Ritchie Blackmore has been banned from attending the Hall of Fame ceremony. It isn’t because he doesn’t want to… I’m sure he wants to attend but he isn’t allowed to ’cause Deep Purple aren’t allowing Ritchie to attend. Is it because Ritchie and Ian Gillan still hate each other and still feuding? Sure seems like it. It is really strange though, how Ritchie is not allowed to attend but David Coverdale has been giving the green light.

I’m in agreement with most fans that it isn’t Deep Purple without Blackmore ’cause Blackmore wrote most of the bands most recognizable riffs and hits especially songs like “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star”. Ritchie was the one who wrote those two songs and the band wants to act like Ritchie is a nobody? Anyway, Ian Gillan has always been an asshole and his response to the Hall of Fame induction is all that there is to know about the man.

That’s the thing about legendary bands, ya know? People think famous bands are always going to be so positive and lovable but not really. A lot of legendary musicians have huge egos and stuff, ya know? That’s the thing with rock n’ roll bands, there’s always gonna be big feuds, fights and arguments… happens with all bands. That’s just the way it is.

As far as Deep Purple goes, I was only a fan of the Blackmore era. The Steve Morse era? No thanks…
