Guns N’ Roses posted their old-school logo on official website confirming reunion of original members???

Leave a comment

Wow, what a big tease! Guns N’ Roses just posted their old logo that they used to have in the 80’s. Gn’R had different logos over the years. They weren’t always the same ’cause of the lineup changes. Since the old-school logo has been posted on the band’s website that is probably a confirmation that a reunion of the original members are making a huge comeback.

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven are all reuniting for a one-off show? Maybe a tour? New album?

I’m predicting the band of it’s original lineup is probably gonna do a one-off show first to see how it goes. If it goes well, then maybe they’ll do a full tour and new album hopefully. We’ll wait and see.

I expect a major announcement soon. Maybe GN’R will play the Superbowl this year ’cause it’s been rumored for a pretty long while.

Radiohead releases their version of “Spectre” theme and it’s amazing… woah!!!

Leave a comment

It looks  like Radiohead is about ready to make their return to the industry in 2016. Not only that the band dropped a new song today which is their version of the “Spectre” theme song that got rejected from the movie, they also started teasing a new album for 2016. So their next album will be their follow-up from their 2011 album, “The King of Limbs”. So it’s been about 5 years since Radiohead hasn’t release new music.

Well, here is Radiohead’s version of the “Spectre” theme song which is pretty amazing stuff. I wished they used this theme song for “Spectre” instead of Sam Smith’s “Writing on the Wall”. I hated Sam Smith’s song. Of course, they had to pick the Sam Smith one instead so they can fit into the pop culture, ya know? That’s the only reason they did it. Radiohead doesn’t fit into the pop culture which is why they were rejected. Radiohead isn’t much of a mainstream band which is good. Radiohead used to be a big mainstream band but not anymore, though.

Check out Radiohead’s version of “Spectre”. Thom’s voice sends chills like usual. I’ve always been a big Radiohead fan and looking forward to their next album.

Stone Temple Pilots honors Scott Weiland by posting different versions of their song “Atlanta”…

Leave a comment

I just knew that the surviving members of STP were gonna pay tribute to Scott Weiland and they just did today.

On their website, they posted two different versions of their song “Atlanta”… which is the final track off their album, “No. 4”. They posted the full band version before the orchestra overdubs and they posted the orchestrated version. The orchestrated version of the song never made it on the No. 4 album so they released the band version instead for that album.

This is really cool stuff. “Atlanta” is one of my favorite songs by STP too as I think it’s one of their best tunes.

As you can see in the video below — Dean, Robert and Eric are listening to the song while fooling around with the controls and they do look very sad while listening to it. Proved that they really loved Scott.

See the band’s tribute to Scott Weiland here:

There’s no such term as “accidental overdose” it was made up by the mainstream media, idiots…

Leave a comment

“Accidental overdose” is not an actual term. It was totally made up by the mainstream media and the sad part is that most people take it seriously. So just because the media says it then it must be true, huh? (sarcasm)

I repeat there is no such thing as accidental overdose. They not only called the Scott Weiland death, “accidental overdose”… they called Heath Ledger that too. They only call it “accidental overdose” when a famous person dies. The fake term “accidental overdose” is just a lame ass excuse used by the media to describe a death of a famous person who died of drugs that they took on “purpose”. It doesn’t make sense to call an overdose “accidental”. It’s just silly. Foolish if you think about it. If you take drugs, you are purposefully doing that to yourself. If you die of it, then it’s your fault. Drugs don’t find their way into human bodies accidentally. There’s nothing “accidental” about it.

The term “accidental overdose” was used so this famous person who died of drugs wouldn’t get so much flak for it from the public and I’m pretty sure the media lied about it being “accidental”. Why did they choose the words “accidental overdose”? To avoid lawsuit from family members? Maybe that’s a part of it. Maybe the family wanted it that way as well?

Why not be realistic about it and call it just an “overdose” ’cause that’s what it really was technically.

That term “accidental overdose” first came up when Heath Ledger died. There is a such a thing as “accidental death” but it’s not the same thing as “accidental overdose”. I do know that the term “accidental overdose” means that he never intended to commit suicide but whether it’s an accident or not, it’s a suicide no matter what you think of it. If you take drugs, you did that to yourself.

When a famous person dies and they call it “accidental overdose”, it’s just the media’s sneaky way of never admitting that this person did it to themselves. They can’t accept the fact that they did it to themselves. They can’t take the truth and it is bothering them. So the media calls it “accidental overdose” so they don’t lose their viewers and their audience.

Just a few things to think about for a few minutes.

Media being politically correct on Scott Weiland death, why are they calling it “accidental overdose”???

Leave a comment

Some media outlets, mostly the ones with the liberal bias are calling Scott Weiland’s death “accidental overdose”. Um, really? The way I’m looking at it, there is really no such thing as “accidental overdose”. You give yourself drugs and damage your body, you are doing that to yourself so it definitely was no accident at all. I think the media calls it “accidental” as a way to be friendly and try not to be “offensive” by calling it just an “overdose”.

This is just one of the million reasons why I hate the mainstream media ’cause they get politically correct on everything.

Steve Vai’s “Bo” guitar found and returned…

Leave a comment

Earlier this week, the iconic shred guitarist Steve Vai had one of his famous guitars stolen at a benefit concert in Los Angeles. The guitar’s name is “Bo” which is a mirrored guitar and the fretboard has blue lights on it.

Well, the guitar disappeared from outside the venue and Steve tries to get it back by using the power of social networking.

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/steve-vai-guitar-stolen/

Well look like the power of social networking worked ’cause Steve got the “Bo” guitar back.

The guitar was found inside the bushes at the gates of Steve’s home. Nobody has any idea of how it got there but my guess is that the thief or thieves who took it, felt bad for taking it and returned it to him. They felt guilty about it probably and realized it was a bad idea to take one of Steve’s special guitars.

I believe the “Bo” guitar is one of Steve’s customs guitars, a guitar that he probably designed himself. It’s a special guitar so it is probably pretty important for him.

Glad he got it back. Bands getting their gear stolen whether local or famous has been happening more and more. Well, that’s what they get when they have loads and loads of expensive musical gear and they probably leave that stuff unattended… that’ll do nothing but attract thieves. This is why bands shouldn’t show off what gear they use for their live shows.

Video: Watch Michael C. Hall perform a cover of David Bowie’s new song, “Lazarus” on Stephen Colbert…

Leave a comment

So Dexter sings too, huh? Well, I didn’t know that. I knew Michael C. Hall is just an actor but I guess he’s more than just that. He’s got musical talent too, I see.

I thought Michael did a killer job and he sings really good too.

So why did Michael sing this song instead of Bowie the man himself?

The reason Michael sang this song is ’cause he is about to perform in an off-Broadway musical that will be directed by David Bowie in NYC.

http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/michael-c-hall-lazarus-david-bowie-1201526292/

They also did this as a way to help promote the new David Bowie album, “Blackstar”.

Michael is not just a TV actor, he is also a theater actor too so I’m sure he played in some musicals in the past before, though.

Michael’s a great singer too and I think he should make an album of his own sometime.

Scott Weiland died of drug overdose after all, no surprise, though! We all knew that anyways…

Leave a comment

Yep, Scott definitely lied to all of us about staying clean for sure and here is the proof of that. His wife also lied that he died clean.

We all knew he was messed up before his death ’cause all one has to do is watch his live performances with the Wildabouts and listen to him during his interviews.

Now people are starting to come to an understanding of why STP booted him out of the band.

http://www.tmz.com/2015/12/18/scott-weiland-cause-of-death-overdose/

He may not have been on the heroin anymore but he was definitely into other drugs and this proves it.

Even though Scott was a junkie and had a lot of problems… he was still one of my favorite rock singers and I had so much respect for him musically. I grew up listening to his projects over the years with STP, Velvet Revolver, etc.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees announced!!!

Leave a comment

The 2016 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has been announced. Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Steve Miller, Chicago and the N.W.A. has all been inducted.

I’m very happy for Deep Purple and Cheap Trick ’cause I’m a huge fan of both of those bands. As for Deep Purple, I’m only a fan of the Ritchie Blackmore era, the Steve Morse era not so much. I’m glad Deep Purple finally got the induction which is long overdue. The question you have to ask is will Ritchie Blackmore finally reunite with Deep Purple to accept the induction with the band and possibly perform with them at the show? Who knows, we’ll have to wait to see what Ritchie himself says. I’m sure Ritchie will be there to accept the induction with the band but performing with them again is all up to him. I would love to see Ritchie perform “Smoke On the Water” and “Highway Star” with them again. That would be fucking cool! Only Ritchie could play those two songs well.

I was never much of a fan of Chicago ’cause I never really listened to them too much. I was never much of a fan of Steve Miller but I heard his songs all over the radio all the time. Steve Miller is a hit maker no doubt!

I’m happy for the NWA getting the induction ’cause agree with it or not, they are deserving of the Hall of Fame.

Sad to see that the prog rock band, YES got snubbed again but hopefully they’ll get their time for the next one.
