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

*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…

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…

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.

More on it here:

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….

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…

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…

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?

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?
