Scott Stapp of Creed returns home and reunites with family…

Look like singer Scott Stapp is getting himself better. He just completed rehab for his prescription drugs addiction and now it looks like he just finished treatment for bipolar disorder. He looks totally new and improved. Scott is looking a lot better and way happier now. Good for him. Looks like he reconciled with his wife and family too.

After returning home from treatment, looks like he decides to enjoy the day to cook up some burgers and dogs on the grill for the family. Congrats to Scott and hope he stays this way. I’ll have to admit that he was scaring me with all that “statement” videos he was making.

Now that he is better, I think a Creed reunion is in order here! I am a fan of that band, always has been. Saw them live in concert a couple of times.

Led Zeppelin gets a song featured for “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” trailer…

Led Zeppelin usually don’t have their music in Hollywood films that much but sometimes they do. I’m sure Hollywood would have to get the band’s written permission in order to use their music. I know Led Zeppelin had their songs played in films like “Almost Famous”, “Silver Linings Playbook”, “Argo”, “American Hustle” and “The Fighter”. That’s about all that I know.

Now they have a song featured for the newest Mission Impossible film in which they used “Whole Lotta Love” for trailer no. 2. “MI: Rogue Nation” trailer no. 2 is pretty badass.

I’m pretty psyched for this film and can’t wait to see it. I’m a huge fan of the MI movies. Love all of them.

Ya know what? I think I’m actually gonna buy the Led Zeppelin re-issues after all…

I wasn’t gonna buy the Led Zeppelin re-issues, all the Deluxe versions of the Led Zep albums but I think I’m gonna. Led Zep will release their final 3 albums of their reissues pretty soon. They will re-release “Presence”, “In Through The Outdoor” and “CODA”. I don’t have any of the Led Zep deluxe issues but I think I will start collecting them all this summer.

A lot of people are accusing Jimmy Page of re-releasing these re-issues as a cash grab but not really. I think the goal is that he just wants a new and improved sound. Not only that, he also wants unreleased material as a way to show fans how some of the songs started off when they recorded them like all the outtakes and stuff. I listened to the re-issues and I do notice a huge improvement in the sound than the original albums. The sound in the music is bigger and sounds different than the original physical CD’s.

More reasons for the re-issues is that Jimmy just wants to keep the Led Zeppelin legacy alive and he wants to celebrate the music with the fans. It’s not just about the money at all, the way I see it. I’m a die-hard Led Zep fan and I really should get these. Trying to decide whether I should get them on physical CD or get ’em from Itunes? I should probably just grab ’em from Itunes ’cause physical CD would be more expensive.

Happy birthday, Miles Davis…

Happy birthday to legendary trumpeter and jazz musician, Miles Davis… who rose to fame with his legendary album, “Bitches Brew” which is a masterpiece of an album by the way.

For the past several years now, I’ve been trying to get into more jazz music ’cause I wanna to listen to more jazz for inspiration for my guitar playing so I came across Miles Davis.

“Bitches Brew” is one of the greatest albums of all time and here it is if you wanna hear it. Long record but really good. I’m trying to get into more jazz which is why I got into guys like Miles, Wes Montgomery, Al Di Meola and others. I still want to get into as much jazz music as possible though.

I enjoy jazz music. It’s just cool and relaxing music to listen to. Whenever I need a break from listening to hard rock and metal, jazz is a good substitute.

“Soaked in Bleach” director on Kurt Cobain’s mark on his left arm…

Photo above taken from this link here: http://www.alternativenation.net/new-photos-kurt-cobains-shoes-and-arm-with-puncture-mark-from-the-scene-of-his-death/

Tom Grant the director of the new Kurt Cobain documentary, “Soaked In Bleach” brings up an interesting theory on the mark of Kurt’s left arm in which Tom was referring to the photo above. Tom Grant takes to his twitter to write an interesting observation about the photo.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sma42d

“I want to clarify my opinion about a small but important detail that keeps coming up online.
The police reports state there were “puncture marks on the inside of the left and right elbows.” The police photo shows what I would refer to as a “spot” on Kurts left arm near his elbow. It is clearly not on the “inside” of his elbow.

That “spot” may or may not be an injection point. It could be an insect or mosquito bite, a spot on the camera lens, etc. We have no evidence to indicate that is one of the “puncture marks” the police report is referring to. And it’s an unusual place on the arm for anyone to inject heroin.

So I think it would be wise for those who are seeking truth and accuracy here to be very careful about interpreting and assuming details we are not absolutely sure of.

Thank you!” – Tom Grant

I don’t think it’s an injection point ’cause around the elbow area is not a safe place to inject heroin. Heroin is mostly shot through the upper forearm area. In Kurt’s photo above, you don’t see any other marks on Kurt’s upper forearm area at all.

Do you ever come to think that who ever shot Kurt put that mark there so that it can make it look like he shot heroin before supposedly pulled the trigger?

I think the police might be dishonest about Kurt’s death and they maybe in on the cover-up to protect Courtney.

Has James Hetfield been giving his daughter Cali singing lessons? It seems so…

Look like James Hetfield’s daughter, Cali (who maybe around 16 – 17 years old) is following her father’s footsteps in becoming a singer and musician too. Here is James inviting his daughter to the stage at Sammy Hagar’s Acoustic benefit event. They do a cover of Adele’s “Crazy For You”.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time they performed together as I’m sure they had many times… here she is with him when she was younger:

Will Cali start her own band and start her own music career someday? If that’s what she wants, I can see James getting her into the music biz and this is only the beginning of it.

I think it be kind of cool if James and Cali collaborate on an album together like a duo project or something. I can see that happening whenever Metallica retires or go on another long hiatus. Who knows what may happen?

“Soaked In Bleach” new documentary about Kurt Cobain that Courtney Love is probably mad about…

Will “Soaked In Bleach” finally expose the truth that Kurt was actually murdered and it wasn’t suicide? This movie looks more interesting than “Montage of Heck” the one that Courtney herself released. I’m sure Courtney is getting mad at “Soaked In Bleach” getting released but oh well. Free country. The 1st Amendment is not stopping anyone from getting the truth told.

It is absolutely possible to kill someone and make it look like a suicide. Courtney didn’t kill Kurt herself, no way but I think she hired a hitman. She covered her tracks pretty well. She definitely wasn’t alone on this, though. I think she definitely had some criminal friends and drug addicts help cover for her so she can continue to live her life.

It’s time for the truth to get known. I’m looking forward to seeing this movie.
